Version 21.3 Discussion Thread

v21.3 will be available on February 6th! Read on to learn about this exciting update!

X-MEN: XENOCLAST
A new and dangerous illness has swept over the mutants of The Battlerealm, and the X-Men must align themselves with the Brotherhood to hunt down the source. When all signs point to the return of Mister Sinister, relationships become strained as Cyclops and his brother Havok abandon their allies to join Mister Sinister’s mysterious plan. Can the Summers brothers be saved from the nefarious Mister Sinister and his despicable experiments?

ALLIANCE QUESTS
Take on the most challenging Alliance Quest Map to date! Alliance Quest Map 7 features more difficult challenges for each and every participant - challenges that will change every week. Random Global Buffs will change who you choose to do battle with, while shifting paths will force you and your Battlegroup to coordinate effectively. Make it through Map 7 and you’ll earn more Points than ever before, a new Map 7 Crystal featuring Tier 5 Basic Catalysts and more!

To compliment the arrival of Map 7, some changes have been made to other Alliance Quest Maps and Rewards. Alliance Quest Map 4 is now FREE to play, and Maps 5 and 6 are now less costly to participate in. New Random Global Buffs will also feature across Maps 2-6 - choose your team wisely to take advantage! In addition to these changes, the Glory Store will have some item costs reduced, new Milestones will be added, existing Milestones will have Map 7 Crystals added to them, and Ranked Rewards will feature more Tier 2 Alpha availability and the inclusion of Tier 5 Basic Fragments!

Map 7 and these changes will not be in effect until February 16th. Stay tuned for more information!

ALLIANCE WAR MATCHMAKING UPDATE
A brand new Alliance War matchmaking system is in place! Alliances that want to participate in Alliance Wars will have to Enlist to a war during the Opt-In phase, and will be matched against another Alliance at the end of this period. The Opt-In phases begin at 3:00PM PST on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. Wars will kick off starting at 11:00AM PST on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Matches will be given out over the course of 4 hours, followed by 20 hours of Defense Placement and you will have 24 hours to complete your Attack Phase. This system will ensure that you’re getting the best possible matches for your Alliance’s strengths and ensure that you are given a match if you are opted-in!

@Kabam Miike Can you explain this? If you timeout in aq fight you don t lose half hp?
Thank you

How can you interpret that statement as you wont lose health on timeout? Its referencing DOT effects most likely.

When will we see the new AQ with map 7 and more?

They will have the Deadpool hotel of love event for a side quest.

Will aq map6 reward bc and gold? Cause this is the biggest reason for why my alliance haven’t done map6 yet.

TheAngryOne

What about Corvus Glaive's immunity bug???????? He often takes bleed and cold damage despite his charges being active. This is a huge issue!!!

I won't give too much away, because we have details coming, but I'll let you know that they're rotating and class based, and will always Boost 2 classes, with Maps 5 and 6 also having a third that weakens a Class by a small amount (less than a Class Disadvantage).

Thanks. That helps a lot.

Will this prevent an in-progress special attack from dealing the finishing blow if the special was activated before the timer ran out? please verify.

Luke2323

@Kabam Miike has the game been optimised for the new 11-inch iPad Pro in the new update?

RagamugginGunner

What are the map 5 and 6 costs?

LeNoirFaineant

Sounds great! Will map six give back gold and chips like the other maps or will it just be a cost reduction?

ThatOneMasterGamer

So that SP1 Unblockable node on SG in act 5 will be a problem now.

Wakandas_Finest

With map 4 being free now does that mean we won’t receive gold and bc rewards for completing? With map 5 being reduced in cost does that mean gold and bc rewards will be reduced? With the addition of map 7 and the cost reduction of map 6 will we now get gold and BC rewards from map 6? Will map 7 crystals be added to AQ milestone rewards?

Spider Gwen SP1 change!!!

I really like her new Special 1 animation too, so make sure you give it a try!

[
Can i try the beta and see how the sp1 of gwen works?

Hulksmasshh

I was hoping spidergwen would keep her non-damaging sp1 as that’s what made her unique. Like her new kit could have been built around it where sp1 gives a big damage boost or buffs, and something like 200% increased special damage for 15 secs. If you could chain the sp1 into a sp2/3 within the buff time it would hit for massive damage.

Wakandas_Finest

@Kabam Miike has the team considered the impact of lowering map 6 costs in regards to rank rewards? The only thing holding a lot of alliances back from running map 6 was the cost.

It made her unique but it was terrible. Every special should have some kind of damage component even if it’s as bad as Karnak’s. Sometimes you end a combo and just need that extra umph from a special to finish the fight and that was a major flaw with Spider Gwen.

Stagedear85

i really hope champs karnak's sp1 get a buff i was in a AW one day and someone place him on unblockable sp1 i just laugh

With the AQ changes...Maybe make Map 3 not lock your champs? Please?

Starlyrical

With spidergwen's sp1 change, will her sp1 animation in labyrinth change? My understanding is that it will, but her abilities may not, as following previous champ changes?

This does not mean that you won't take Damage from timing out. There was a bug where if the Fight timer in AQ ran out, sometimes the Enemy would still be able to attack you and deliver damage. This has been fixed now.

Thanks for the fast answer!!!

Dude read it properly

MrMendez

Before anything we should also apply proper synergies like (scarlet witch) having only one vision compatible as a romance and nothing the vision age of Ultron. At least as an enemy. There are many champions that lack proper synergies that should be followed up by the comics or toons but just lack resources to create a good squad for the events like AQ, AW, Dungeon, quest or just 3v3...

RiderofHell

You think with the mutants getting sick the battlerealm would create a vaccine by now lol

Really gonna nerf SpiderGwen's sp1 like that? SMH

I know this is a joke, but remember... There is a Spider-Gwen with Unblockable Special 1 in Act 5.2, and that's not changing!

@Kabam Miike if you don’t remove the unblockable l1, but spider-gwen’s l1 can now hit people, then you are admitting that you are increasing the difficulty eithout increasing the rewards. Remove the unblockable l1 on that fight or don’t change the l1. You can’t have it both ways

this is the most ridiculous example @B_Kass but one could argue that by using SpiderGwen's sp1 makes the game easier yet they don't reduce the rewards. which way do you want it because it can't be both ways.
