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!

Hey everybody,

I come with news. Maybe not great news, but I did say that I would update you all as soon as I had more information.

Our Update is still not ready for release on Google Play. We are working to get it up as soon as we can, and doing everything we can to expedite the process, but we don't believe that it will be released today.

We're hoping that it will be available to all Android users tomorrow. The Havok arena will not be affected, and users on the older version will still be able to grind that arena for Milestones, Rank Rewards, and Havok.

Ah, so it's not Google's fault after all.

Every dang month. Something new. I know you are working on it, but all these mishaps are really frustrating. Update a day or two before the EQ, give yourself some space to work things out before new events arrive. Risk management is very important. We just wanna play the dang game ya know

G0311

Well here's hoping next month won't be a repeat.

Moletron

Yah it never was Google, they were just buying time, crossing their fingers that it would get solved, this is exactly what we should've expected; they were actually doing pretty good for a while there at not doing anything to make us lose our minds, it was long overdue

SiriusBreak

Personally, rather have it a day late with less issues, than right now with more. If something is not ready, it is what it is. Sucks that it didn't go as planned, but there's no changing that now. Finish up what needs to be done, and it'll be there when it gets there. Thanks for the update @Kabam Miike

pdub42

if its not ready for half the players then why release it at all? Why does it get released to IOS before both versions are ready, makes no sense, if you screw up the android version hold the whole update back and do it all at once.

To me it sounds like the devs missed an internal deadline and they're scrambling to finish something. If anything, we should be extra wary of bugs with the understanding that it's being rushed to get finished.

Scottryan

Next time release the update a day before it can affect people. You should have learned this from the last update (or lack there of) but maybe you can learn it from this one

Kabam Miike

Sorry, I think I may have caused some confusion here. The update is with Google, but it is not ready for release to the Google Play store. This is not us holding it back, and don't want to hold it back. We want to get it out and Live as soon as possible.

So Android Users will miss out on up to 200+ energy compared to iOS Users för this Event. Ill guess you guys wont extend it for one extra day. LOL

So whats the plan ? 3 refills and a tier3 potion to make us happy ? Guess what that wont do it ! You treat us like 2nd Class citizens and still expect getting our Money?

Edit
Not spending a Single Dollar on the Game untill iOS and android Updates are on the same Page.

funny you say that. I did the trials of alchemy and needed about 10-15 energy to finish the hardest level i can do so i start it thinking i can use one energy refill then update the game and use the rest of the energy on the new content. Of course that didn't happen and now i'm stuck with wasted energy. had i known i would have waited to finish the trials of alchemy until later tonight. I guess i should know to always check these forums instead of assuming i can update because i have an android phone. Where's the compensation? I'm sure Kabam will ignore comments like yours and mine

@kabam miike
Don't care about arena. Arena is the worst/most boring mode in the game. Would like to play event quest. Please tell your devs to get their **** together as this is getting quite tiresome

Dorky

@Kabam Miike I'm not worried about the legend run, I just wanted to play the new quest, and depending on when it's available on Google play. That does also mean the event timer will not reset due to this delay for Android users. Are Android users getting any kind of comp? I mean this is ridiculous. We play the game only to get delayed? That don't make sense to me.

Scottryan

I remember the days when emergency maintenance would result in a sorry from kabam and a bit of compensation. Wasnt much but showed they cared

Scottryan

These days are different. First android gets slower load times and now we even get to wait longer to get the updates

Is update not available for Android? I have been checking google play hourly and no update.

_tokio_

At least för today the network problems should be way better for iOS Users cause half the playerbase waits for the update and dont do **** Kappa

So, to be clear, its up to Google to release the update? Or its up to Kabam? .sigh... just get it done people!

Hopefully the delay will work in everyones favor, with a bug free update.

Keep up the good work😉

Granted I haven't published an android game in over a year on google play but from what i remember its as easy as updating the release notes, uploading the updated APK and then hitting the publish button. From there the update doesn't go live right away but it shouldn't take as long as the last 2 updates have taken either.

Great news! Thank you. What can we expect as far as the trials rerun or lack thereof should I say? Will we be getting it tomorrow? Compensation for it?

The Trials Re-run does not require an update, and is available in game right now for all Android users.

The trials never reloaded I do not have the rerun, no offense but you are incorrect, please check around

Ok, I have a question. If Google has the update, then why wont they release it? Seems to me that it would be much more beneficial to them to simply release it. Doesnt make sense for them to hold it.

It takes time for any update that is submitted to Process. There isn't any malicious intent here, and it's not like anybody is sitting back and saying that they purposely don't want to release something.

That's funny because earlier you said it wasn't kabam's fault.

ChiefSpeedy

Thanks for leaving us out once again. What are your plans to compensate us for this one since we are missing out on a WHOLE DAY of the new event quest.

They are available. To many different people and to several different accounts. You just aren't getting them yourself.
