Version 32.2 is the second minor update to version 32.0. It features reworks to Contested Territory and bug fixes.

Contested Territory changes

[edit | edit source]

In response to internal review and community feedback on the first Contested Territories (CT) event, we have made several changes that will be in effect for the next CT event. We will also share a roadmap soon for other CT changes planned for future updates.

  • CT Event #2 will run for 7 days - everyone agreed the first one was too long, so we will now try 7 days on, 7 days off and be open to future duration tweaks
  • Degradation back to neutral timer increased from 24 to 28 hours - coming back the next day at a similar time and seeing your owned tiles neutral if not captured was disheartening. We increased to 28 hours so there is a window of overlap that will not throw off point balance too much. We want to make small, iterative changes here as there are many balance consequences.
  • Degradation curve changed to maintain the challenge of beating the new best score for longer - tiles will now not degrade at all for 4 hours, then degrade more slowly from there and not reach such high values at the end of the curve
  • Team creation cost will be increased significantly - we elected to have generous Team creation with the low 200MM cost and that helped generate a lot of Teams, but many players seemed to create Teams and join an instance only to not participate. By increasing this cost to 2000MM we are making Team creation a more considered decision, which we hope will direct more casually interested players to join already created public Teams
  • Added 3 buckets of matchmaking to pool teams together with others of similar activity - we’re not giving much detail here intentionally, as it is complex and iterative but the intent is to connect similarly motivated Teams together

Additions

[edit | edit source]
  • Added CT event prop to main menu to indicate live events
  • Added more detail to tile capture messages in the team feed
  • Added visual feedback for Master Builder’s self boosting effect
  • Added popup for unlocking Team Flair items
  • Added hover info to ‘kick pending’ in teams
  • Added a “score eco” stat to local Teams score UI, which displays the current expected score increase when scores are added to the leaderboards - intended to clarify the relative rate of earning for each Team and inform tactical decisions about which tiles and ownerships to go after
  • Added player Online status settings for friends & teams, with Invisibility settings for privacy
  • Added player restrictions preventing team hopping during active CT events
  • Added pages to Friend’s Teams tab for better organization
  • CT Tile Victory will no longer display rewards that you didn’t earn (CT Points/Relics) if you beat the map but did not beat the capture score
  • Technical integration of Nexus.gg to enable curator codes - we will share more information about this separately when sign-up pages are ready
