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 everyone,

I found the update for Android users! My alliance and a line app I'm in all confirmed it worked for them. Simply open the Google play store and in the search bar search for contest of champions. You should see the new icon and the update bar for the game. It worked for me as well. I have an LG Stylo 4 on metro pcs.

Because they do not solve the problems of lag, connection & crashing, every update promises to fix it but every month is the same, with no solution to the problems for almost a year. I like the game but those problems make me hate it more and more

Sotrel

Goodmorning guys!
This is not a comment **** about new update. Just looking for some info. Wasn't there supposed to be an updated price list on Glory store ? Will they be introduced after new AQ has started or was it supposed to be introduced with the new update?
P.S.: I'm an android user

Weapon_10

A decent compensation is only necessary after all this ****. Should have already got that

Al2Q

Game working too slow during the fights...
Parry and block timers are way off..
And still the network issue thing pops up after each fight..
Using a note 9 updated to the latest version.

@Kabam Miike so are we getting anything(By anything i just mean Energy refills. I think that would be fair) for all the missing energy because of the delayed update. I know you can say "you can use the energy on something else" Im sure that people in the upper levels dont do any of the other stuff as much and anyone on the IOS was able to put all there energy and energy that they occurred toward the event.

Not entirely sure what he means here, but this is what I got from Google Play Support chat..

Pretty sure he meant the Google Play system didn't contain any version higher than the one you have for deployment. It is possible for the store to have a version higher than yours: for example the developer could be using a staged deployment in which case the store uses an algorithm to make the new version only visible to some users but not all users, so all users don't all update simultaneously which can sometimes cause problems. Also, some updates are locked geographically which means the store could have a version not currently authorized for your area.

But that support guy almost certainly has no access to the approval system or the internals of the process to approve applications. He's just telling you that when he pushes this button on this screen, his computer says there's no higher version.

@Kabam Miike several of us still never got a rerun of the trials. Was just wondering if y'all were going to do anything for us or Not? We waited a month for it, y'all promised we would get it but I got nothing.

Epistriatus

I made a comment shortly after this version was released with regards to the connection issues. After the emergency maintenance that followed moments later it looked like those connection issues were gone for like 90%.......till today, now they’re back, increasing in frequency again.......so....yeah.....was hoping that they would be gone for longer than a day and a half.

Karnage

Dear Mods,
Can you please shed some light on the Ghost Rider nerf. I know the patch notes stated
"• GHOST RIDER: Info Page listings for Bleed, Damnation and Fate Seal have been corrected to match in-game duration"
No mention of his Lifesteal, yet the duration of his Lifesteal has been reduced by 1 second. Please explain...

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

....

• Performance and Connectivity improvements

will the next version also bring peace to the world?
we are back to the days where every hour I have to restart the game otherwise you can not even scroll the screen to see the objects

Jeff42000

This is by far the worst connection issues I have seen in this game. Is there anything thats being done to fix this? Wasnt v21.3 supposed to improve these issues?

LeNoirFaineant

So Ghost Rider wasn't working as intended and you went with the new way to fix, change his description? Makes sense.

Swank777

So the trials rerun was a myth or flat out lie to deceive android users? Why not just tell us? You said we would get a rerun on the 6th @Kabam Miike why lie about it?

_tokio_

There was a rerun of the missing 7th day.

Swank777

Maybe there was for some but I know several like myself who never got it. The game crashed and when it came back it was not there or a monthly eq at all, I've stated this several times including on that day. I feel lied to, I was told wait a month and I'd get a rerun, I didn't think that was fair, but this is wrong no rerun of the trials. Is this a punishment of some kind for @Kabam Miike For stating I believe android users are being treated unfairly?

_tokio_

Not sure whats wrong on your side but everyone on android in our alliance incl myself was able to play the missing 7th final day on feb 6th. Been asking around on line and no1 complained about its missing.

Darklord60

Well this update certainly didn't fix the problem of lagg which is worse than ever now,, pop connection problem is more prevalent,, general game play is suffering badly kabam,, c'mon a real fix should happen not a patch up

_tokio_

Still nothing about a compensation for once again delayed Android Update

IKON

As an android user, I seriously can't believe people are complaining about this. The level of entitlement is astounding.

No, you should not be compensated for this.

_tokio_

We lost almost 1 day worth of energy. Also this happens now twice in a row and kabam dont even feel the need to explain whats going wrong nor how they wanne prevent such thing from happening next update again. Ive spend cash on the Game. I can expect to be equaly treated like ios users even if i didnt spend a dime.
