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!

Do yall know when the update will hit the play store? I'm not complaining I'm just curious

PrayB4Uplay

I think maybe it is time to leave this issue for now. We play when the update is ready. No big deal it's just a game. And its not gonna effect legend run.

C'mon I just want to smash Mr. Sinister in the face. Give me the update.

Yeah that would be a good idea if this was the first time but it's not.

The development of the game is focused on IOS. Although I totally understand IOS is more developer friendly, still more effort (time & money) should be spent to balance the game on both platforms. Additionally, although the market share in North America (the USA and Canada), iOS is 57.22% and Android 42.43%, globally Android has 74.45%, IOS has 22.85% For (source: http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide). It means that potentially there are more Android players than IOS.
I am not referring only to this update (that is late only for Android), but everything in the game is worst when you use Android and I could not find any communication from Kabam indicating they will make an effort to change this.
This is a shame!

This is ridiculous two events in two months and you cant even respond or give us a reasonable excuse this is getting pathetic @kabam miike

But it likely is google.
My best guess would be ios update and google update were sent from kabam at pretty much the same time.
My best guess would be that it is google that has failed to publish the update within the timeframe they normally would and the timeframe that kabam expect it would be done.
I mean ios update has no issue, google has had same issue for two months now.
It is very possible and very likely the problem lies within google.

You Upload your new APK to Google
Update proceeds, takes a few hours
Afterwards youll have a "Go live" Button to push the Update to the playstore. Takes a few minutes

I don't know if this is the right place for me to be asking this question, but I am an Android user and I am concerned that besides the Trial of the Alchemist being released, there has not been a lot of information about when the Android version of 21.3 will be available on the Google Play Store.

Yeah... It's like the Paradox of the Diamonds: insanely, the diamonds have a overrated importance than the water.

It's an applicable analogy down here.

When will the update be available? I still got nothing thru Google store.

biggin1982

When will the update be available for android? Thanks

Grimmreaper

@Kabam Miike any idea how much longer on the android update? Need to know if I need to sell my energy refills before they expire. This radio silence on the issue is frustrating.

What about the part where google review and accept it?
this is the part that would normally take a few hours but could also get delayed for many many reasons.
Also something can easily go wrong in any automated system.
With the insight you have it sounds like you
Understand what it takes to develop apps.
I am sure tou could also understand sometimes stuff goes wrong that you Cant control
Maybe so many negative reviews have left kabam with a mark by google that means they check the updates more than they normaly would..

It can take a few hours. But as apps must be approved by Google before being published to the Google Play store, it can take longer. It is not uncommon for updates to sometimes get hung up by up to several days in some circumstances.

No update on android yet??

JediKnight93

Wish I could be apart of the all the fun and changes, but Google users are left behind with no update and stuck with an extra day of the "Trials" last day with no week long boosts to apply.

yash98

Hope us android users get some sort of compensation for this situation.. its kinda **** how the comment we got was blame shift, granted it may be googles fault, but this much of a delay is a bit of a joke at tjis point, its time where i couldve spent energy, but no, now i have to wait till the weekend cause ill have no time thursday or friday, and even more time/energy wasted cause i just cant get into the quests..id at least like a comment saying theyre trying to contact google to rectify the situatuon, but nothing..? Really? 4 and a half hours later, no comments.. 👏🏾👏🏾

Drake2078

I'm just telling you what happened last month. I mean you no disrespect, but if you believe me or not is completely up to you. I don't want any compensation, all I am looking for

Drake2078

I'm just telling you what happened last month. I mean you no disrespect, but if you believe me or not is completely up to you. I'm not looking for any compensation, all I am asking for is more transparency on Kabam's part. Their communication skills leave much to be desired.

This is especially frustrating considering that all in-app purchases cost the same across both platforms but overall, it is consistently a substandard gaming experience for those of us with android OS, making things like legends runs and the like virtually impossible.

Updates arent handle like new Releases. Just Google how the dev console för Google Play works and how devs have to push new Updates using It.

Sure something can go wrong. Nothing is perfect but 2 months in a row ?

loader187

The funny thing is i have lost 4.5 hours of doing this so if i use 70 lightning in the first 30 minutes on the new event(Which I cant) and I don't need to do anything else. I have now lost roughly 40 lighting and have not been able to request my alliance for help so that is an additional 30 i believe(1 Full energy refill) . I don't care about the legend status run but we should all be compensated at least 10 lightning per hour we are missing out. I think that is fair.

Swank777

Not just compensation for the delay, but we don't have a trails today either like we were promised, we waited a month for this. Kabam we honestly love you but we need you to make this up to us.

JediKnight93

It's getting to the point I'll quit playing the game before I "have" to switch platforms to be able to keep up or even participate.

Whitefang

We using android do not have access to updates why?

JediKnight93

Forget the "Trials", give us a small comparison and give us Android uses access to the new event

jonnboy0312

Version update still unavailable for Android users. Legends run now improbable even with rigorous efforts. Please allocate immediate attention to this issue. Thanks KABAM.
