    • Rewards Limit
      • Players will have a limit of how many rewards per day that they can claim at 5 per day. 
      • After reaching this limit players can still deal damage and help other guild members fight it but cannot gain any rewards.
      • Players who have reached the limit cannot defeat a boss individually since at 10% it will become immune to any damage done.
    • UI Changes
      • UI changes have been made to reflect all of the improvements and changes referenced above.

      • Level
      • Tier
      • Attunement
      • Newly obtained
  • Bug Fixes
    • Removed the ability for players to fight the boss at the same time. This feature was riddled with unintended behaviours making it really hard for some players to see/fight the guild boss. This will be taken a look at more thoroughly by the team.

Battle Badge Minor Revamp

  • Battle Badge stat values have been revamped across the board.
  • All of the effect and trigger values have been completely repolished to ensure that battle badge keeps its value in combat.

    • Daily Quests
    • Guild Check-In
    • Guild Contests*

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where Normal and Fantastic Crit Negation were behaving weirdly with Super Crits.
  • Fixed a bug where there were some miscalculations in Challenger Arena scoring
  • Fixed a bug with Carl the Robot’s White Skill, which was dealing HP Percent Damage to the Invasion Guild Boss
  • We are aware of a bug regarding incorrect durations of the Battle Pass. While we are still working on locking down the bug causing this, those affected should expect compensation for the missed 5 tiers if they have not received them already.
