⚔️ Live Arena Seasons Points & Matchmaking Changes
With the start of the next LA Season, we’ll be rolling out some updates to Live Arena Seasons Points, and matchmaking.
The first change is that the number of Season Points gained or lost in a battle will be adjusted. It will depend on the point gap between you and your opponent. To put it briefly, when defeating a considerably weaker opponent, you’ll get fewer points; when losing a battle to a much higher-ranked player, you'll lose fewer points.
The second change is that we are improving the matchmaking system of the Live Arena Seasons to decrease the chances of a match between accounts with a considerable difference in Season Points.
All the details are coming next week in the corresponding in-game news, so stay tuned.
Hard Faction Wars Challenge “Manipulate buff or debuff duration 20+ times”: Nuances
Decreasing Bombs' duration doesn't count for the Hard Faction Wars challenge “Manipulate buff or debuff duration 20+ times” (for example, Glishak’s A2), as this particular effect [Bomb] is related to 'detonation' and not 'decreasing duration'.
The same situation applies to the Poison and HP Burn Activations (for example, Artak, Dark Kael)—the “force tick” does not count towards the Challenge because it doesn't reduce the duration of debuffs; it literally activates them.
Another nuance you probably need to know about the Challenge is that it counts the number of effects triggered (Decrease/Increase duration or Decrease/Increase cooldown), not by how many turns the effect manipulated buffs/debuffs or skills.
Here is an example:
- Let’s say there are 5 Champions in a battle, and each one has 2 Debuffs.
- When you increase the duration of all Debuffs, it might seem like you’ll get 10 ticks of progress. But what actually counts toward the Challenge is the number of successfully triggered effects.
- In this example, since the effect triggered on 5 Champions, that means 5 successful procs — which equals 5 points of Challenge progress.
- This is the same for reducing/increasing skill cooldowns
????️ Bugs And Fixes
- There is a nasty bug that causes Siege Preset slots for the Defense Team to disappear after deleting the preset that was assigned to the slot. The fix is planned for the nearest release. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to our Support team for help in removing the teams.
- After reaching the Silver, Gold, or Platinum Clan League, players get the same notification repeatedly every time they visit the Clan window (Congratulations!). It should only be shown once. The bug will be fixed in one of the next releases.
- The Aspect of Siroth Relic prevents the activation of Rotos the Lost Groom’s Spurn Oblivion skill when receiving fatal damage. We will fix it in the next release.
