Balance Changes
Game Modes
- World Tour
- Teams now lose 10% of their cash total on team wipe
Dev Note: The rule changes we tested during the VOLPE Championship seem to have had positive results both with the community and in the analytics data we’ve been looking at. For our next World Tour stop, the DISSUN Challenge, we’ll keep testing this rule set, but with team wipe penalties reintroduced at 10%. This will allow us to continue to monitor how these changes impact the game. Huge thanks to everyone who provided feedback and impressions over the past two weeks! - Increased the number of Win Points earned for reaching the second round of a tournament from 5 to 7
- Increased the number of Win Points earned for reaching the final of a tournament from 12 to 16
- Increased the number of Win Points earned for winning a tournament from 20 to 26
Dev Note: Win Points are not accumulative. They are awarded based on where you finished in a tournament, meaning that if you win a tournament, you earn 26 points in total.
