Cactus Conquered

The recently CactusChan Boss was a big hit, introducing new boss battle mechanics. Thought this wasn't the most difficult boss ever introduced, it was surely the most interesting with some ingenious tricks and strategies conjured from the mind of CactusChan (the human, not the monster).

Thus far 240 players have defeated CactusChan, but the first to figure out his lethal patterns were the following champions:

1. family salman 2
2. Marina
3. CactusChan
4. Daemon Targaryen
5. Brask Von Krieger
6. MapWarCyber
7. Berseker shadow
8. S A T E L L A
9. Paige
10. Xx code xX

The player who crushed the cactus the most was A Vingadora with an astonishing 193 defeats!

With this update the Cactus Slayer achievement has been removed, but the drops will remain for another week, leaving May 8th.

Infernal Return

Infernal Guardian items and other Infernal seasonal rares are now available at Kraggor in the Infernal mines.

TheAlonzoHarris Shop Update

TheAlzonoHarris' shop has been updated with new and returning gear!

• Itachi's Pride - added back permanently
• Zeus's Legacy - added back permanently
• Izanagi - added back
• Izanami - added back
• Techstalker Sword CC P
• Techstalker Sword CC E
• Techstalker Star Saber CC P
• Techstalker Star Saber CC E
• Infernal Slayer 2 CC P
• Infernal Slayer 2 CC E
• Infernal Slayer 3 CC P
• Infernal Slayer 3 CC E

For the persistent Weekly Mission grinders, we added tiers 11-20 to the Weekly Mission Achiever.

Battlepass Delay

This is disappointing news, but the upcoming Battlepass will be delayed until May 15th. I really wanted to push to get May 8th, but I'm just not confident I'll have enough time to get that finished along with EpicDuel's other infinite pending tasks.

Changes

• Increased time for NPC fill in 2v2.
• Scrollbar added to Item Finder.
• Cactus Slayer achievement removed from CactusChan boss

• Increased penalties for flagged botters:
  • All rewards, drops, and wins stop for all PvP battle modes.
  • PvP wins will count as losses.
  • PvP achievements stop accumulating.
  • PvP Battlepass challenges are disabled.
  • Faction wins stop accumulating.
  • Bans can be issued depending on severity.
  • Rewards will return after a period of good behavior.
