Update 1

Economy Changes

• Unlock Points (UP) are now awarded every match - 1 for a Tie/Loss, 2 for a Win
• The Unlock Point (UP) bulk purchase bundle award option will now show more frequently, and at least every 4 matches
• Increased the chances to get a free Unlock Point award at the end of match
• Supply Caches now always drop at least 1 Unlock Point
• Reduced the Unlock Point (UP) cost of every Lance Variant
  • Early Lance Variants have had their costs reduced the most, some are as low as 1-3 UP
  • This makes experimentation with different Lance Variants more viable
  • You will be refunded the difference if you have already purchased Variants that have been reduced in cost.

Other Changes

• There is now a novice player matchmaking pool for those finished with live practice but are still under level 12
• Knight voice over now has its own volume slider
• Deploy button in Armory much more prominent
• Deploy and in-game map icons maintain scale when zooming in/out
• The number of players has been removed as a criteria for a Qualified Match
  • A qualified match now only has the requirement that you've played over 50% of the match based on total match time
