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 Is the team looking into enforcing account sharing TOS violations for Alliance Quest? A lot of players are hoping Kabam cleans up AQ piloting like they’ve done with AW Seasons, Map 7 T5BC rewards could cause players to lose interest in AW Seasons in exchange for piloting 7X5 in high prestige alliances. That would take away from Kabam’s pockets for both AQ and AW.

Can we get some more detail on the Ghost Rider page update? I guess I'm not aware there was an issue.

Is it possible to elaborate what the Performance improvements are?

Will we finally see a fix for DarkHawk that is causing lag / performance issues for many devices, that the hot-patch didn't fix?

Spidey gwen is evading me i dont have her in any star champ 😭

With AQ Map 4 being free, does this mean we are free to use our AQ champs elsewhere or will they still be locked out of other events, quests...ec

I would assume still locked, as Map 3 has been free but still locked your champs. I'd like to see Map 3 be updated to non longer lock champs, though, with this change. But looking forward to running Map 4 more frequently now that it will be free.

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.

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.

It was only terrible cause the utility and abilities were lacking. They could have made it not terrible if they wanted to and take into consideration that she couldn’t finish fights with it. Or even add some unblockable DOT/passive damage along which is totally kabam’s style. Just saying there were many possibilities with it but sounds like that decision was already made a while ago.

Does this mean we won't all get massive connection issues when we are say....opening a crystal or ranking up a champion?

djr17

Let me tell you a little story about bad rank up choices. Way back before 12.0, I made some seriously questionable rank up choices, like taking MMN to r4. Well, 12.0 rolled around, and I was able to correct some of those more eggregious mistakes. Lesson learned. Ranking up must be taken seiously, and not by I have X person of class Y, and I need to rank that class, etc.

Well, now with the changes in 21.3 and future updates, I see that I may have made another mistake. after 12.0, one of those RDTs was used on my r4 Spider-Gwen. I have no idea who I took up in her place, maybe Cap WW2. Anyway, Kabaam, could you find it in your heart to send rank up tickets for those of us who used RDTs on the now and soon to be buffed Spider-Gwen?

Thank You.

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

If you demand an increase in rewards for buffing Spider-Gwen, you also have to ask for a decrease in rewards when ever the content gets easier, like when they nerf a champ or even when they allow us to bring in stronger champs than existed when the content was first created. You can't have it both ways.

Some champs you rank and level up just to later have them muffed. Some champs you don't rank or level then later they get upscaled to better fighters.
Is this just another way to have players play more and use more hard to earn resources? I wish the champs would be how they will stay. ( it's getting manotaniss ).

You'd like your bad champs to stay bad since you haven't already ranked them? Makes sense...

which is complete BS for those who haven't played through that Spider-Gwen yet. How is it fair that existing content is getting harder?

How do you know it’s harder? You have no idea what her L1 does. She might just do a couple kicks which are easily avoidable and they got rid of her evade making her much easier.

you realize your reasoning makes zero sense right? They almost never nerf champs and when they do the biggest issue is the resources people had already put into that champ and people complain a lot more when that happens. There is content for the stronger champs you are talking about....5-3 and 5-4 and act 6 coming soon. As well just because there are stronger champs doesn't mean the person going through 5-2 is going to have the champs you are talking about. It whould be fairly easy for Kabam to keep difficulty about the same by decreasing Spider-Gwen's overall PI. If you are that concerned about nerfing I would have no issues again if they kept difficulty about the same by increasing that character's overall PI. There is a solution but Kabam chooses not to worry about it because in the end if content is harder someone is more likely to use up potions, units and possibly real world dollars.

GroundedWisdom

It's not a substantial argument to increase Rewards just because she's had a rework and the L1 potentially will do Damage. We've had reworks before and the Rewards stayed the same within content. We're talking about one Champ on a Map.

Does this mean the spider Gwen inn5.2 isn't changing and will have the same L1 as current or that the node isn't changing. I can't figure out for sure what you are trying to say. Seams to me existing content should remain consistent, so either drop the node or use keep the L1 the same for that fight.

The node isn't changing but Gwen will change. LMAO for people asking for an increase in rewards for one non boss fight which will be slightly different. Do you want them to throw in an extra 100 gold? How about a little extra experience for beating it. SMH

Doctor_Tachyon11

ok well can you guys permanently fix the lagging? I couldnt do trial of the alchemist because the lagging is so bad. It's been like this for last 9 months. Ive stuck around because i have fatih in you guys and ive invested too much time. Plus, it would make the game fair again

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).

Boosts/weakens both defenders and attackers?

So you also requesting them to change back ROL WS to have IronFist SP2 and ROL Hulk to have Abom SP1?
just be happy that she will actually hit people now and you get to use a special in arena fights instead of having to do the entire fight using basics...

Kabam gave players permission to post Map 7 beta videos on YouTube. You may be able to find beta versions of these nodes in those videos, though all Map 7 beta content is subject to change.
