War Token Shop Preview

War Token Shop Preview

War Token Shop Preview

Visit Morzyd the Scavenger in The Bazaar (the huge crashed battleship in The Barrens) to browse her inventory of past War Prizes. The shop requires at least one War Token to access the shop! The items are temporarily priced at 5 War Tokens for now while we work on a fair pricing model that applies the proper value to coveted War Prizes. Also, the shop is still being populated with prizes so there are still many more armors and mutating items that are yet to be stocked in the shop. Save those precious War Tokens if there's still an item you want to see featured.

War Prizes purchased from this shop, when they can be purchased, cannot be sold. Additionally, only one of each item can be purchased and owned. This is to make sure nobody accidentally "wastes" their War Tokens on accidental purchases.

Homes UI Update

  • "Clear All" button below the "Save" button to allow you to instantly remove all items from a home at once. This is great for when you accidentally drag some awkward items partially off-screen.
  • Items in your inventory are now sorted based on most recently purchased, then grouped by ID so all your duplicates will be grouped together. This is the first step towards item stacking in Homes.

 

Arcade 10x Follow Up

With this update we have corrected the bug that prevented the 10x multi-spin option from updating the Arcade score correctly. It's always fascinating to check the data to see what features are appreciated purely based on data, because sometimes player feedback alone undersells how much a feature is used.

For example, thus far over 32,000 items have been Locked and 5,000 items Favorited using the new inventory options. Clearly there was a ton of demand for those features.

More recently, the day before we introduced the 10x option to Arcades, 8,818 Tokens were spent, with a value of 576,860. The day we launch 10x, the number jumped to 41,030 spins with a value of 20,818,560! Those number seem impressive, but then I realized that the tracker was not updated to recognize the 10x spin, so those numbers could be up to 10 times higher! 

I know these quality of life features aren't as exciting as flashier (pun not intended) battle-centric features and improvements, but it's crystal clear that those features are not going unused or unnoticed.

 

Fixes, Changes, and Balance

  • All time win rates restored to the Leaderboards.
  • First strike: Everyone but the the starting player will start with 20% Rage.
  • Critical Heal: Threshold increased to 30% from 25% to match the kneeling animation.
  • Static Grenade: Set to 90% damage instead of 80%
