Greetings Summoners!
Though the extended downtime of Season 3 was not ideal, it did give us more time to take a look at the performance of Alliances on the newly updated Alliance Wars Maps.
Through the combination of your feedback and our data, we have decided that there are some minor adjustments that we would like to make to some of the Nodes on the Challenger Map, as well as a small one for both Challenger and Expert.
- The Health Boost buff on Nodes 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31 will be reduced from 300% to 200% on the Challenger Map
The Health boost reduction helps to ease a little bit of the difficulty on the new Mini-Boss nodes, without changing the identity of the fight. Many of these effects get compounded the longer the fight lasts, so this should pull back on the overall stress of each encounter.
- We are swapping the sets of buffs on nodes 29 and 30 in both the Expert and Challenger Maps.
We know that you all find Node 30 pretty difficult. We like the identity, intensity, and difficulty of this fight, but want to change it to an optional fight by removing it from the critical path. Node 30 is the source of a Linked Node, and failing to take it down will result in a portion of the map becoming much more difficult. Node 29 does not have any Links originating from it. After swapping the buffs, Summoners now have the option of skipping the more difficult fight, or taking on the challenge for additional points.
These changes will take effect on August 1st, when Alliance Wars Season 3 commences!
