This week we have gotten rid of our boring placeholder menu background and replaced it with a new 3d-scene, which really improves the quality and initial look of the game when you first open it. Along side this we've scrapped our crates system, replacing it with a brand new 'Loot Booth'. Visit the game master, cross his palm with a coin, and play his game to see what sick loot you can win. Players skilled enough to make it onto our highscores will be rewarded with special Bronze/Silver/Gold tokens which can be used for the chance to win exclusive bronze/silver/gold loot only available with these coins.
End of season
Now the season is ending, prizes will be handed out and we're prepping for the next season to begin! As we reset, the following will happen:
- When you log in next you will be displayed your final position for Season 1 and your rewards
- You will be given a headstart based on your Season 1 rank for this new season, using the formula: (20 - Rank Achived) in the form of marks towards ranks
- ELO for everyone has been reset to 1200 to make it fair for the new season
