Economy Changes
Credits & Metatopes
- We’ve undertaken a significant revamp of the acquisition mechanics for Credits and Metatopes in the game. Previously, players mostly obtained these currencies while pursuing other rewards, but our aim is for players to make a conscious decision to gather Credits and Metatopes. To achieve this, we’ve restructured their distribution: a portion of these currencies has been removed from the Campaign and Daily Quests and relocated to the Challenges. Consequently, Challenges will now serve as the primary source for replenishing your Credits and Metatopes reserves.
- Furthermore, we’ll introduce two additional monthly events for you to further enhance your experience. The first event, “Hidden Riches in Paradise,” will be the Credits event and will take place on the first weekend of each month. The second event, “Superpowered Contraband,” will be the Metatope event and will occur on the second weekend. To give you a sneak peek at these new events, we’ll activate them on the first weekend following Update 2.2!
Ranked Assault
- Upon the introduction of the Ranked Assault game mode we introduced a new currency. After collecting the necessary data we’ve decided to rebalance this currency to better reflect the player experience. We have accordingly undertaken these balancing measures, which are expected to be implemented in Update 2.2. Additionally, the daily limit for purchasing gear capsules will be increased to provide users with enhanced opportunities to utilize this currency effectively.
Guild Rewards
- We wanted to give players better access to the different gear capsules so we decided to increase the rewards given in weekly chest, most notably more guild credits and more material capsule keys.
