Patch v318 - Challenge System & more!

Introduction

Hi, we're back!

In this patch, we went to target the current "meta game" of the server. Though we cannot balance equipment stats and skill rates, we can balance the rates at which players earn rewards. With this in mind, this patch is our first attempt to create a more dynamic meta through the introduction of daily challenges that affect different aspects of the game. We hope players will find this refreshing.

Future Patch Work

We have been experimenting with different kinds of tweaks to the game in the last bit. Future patches may include a level 11 system & diversified maps (using other maps from other modes) for PVP and other purposes to create fun custom modes.

Release Date

Official release date for this patch is August 23, 2019 @ 11:00PM - Eastern Daylight Time

Daily Challenge System 1.0

The Daily Challenge System will randomly choose 3 challenges per day, reset at 12:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time.

There are two types of challenges within the DCS. The "general rate" challenge and the "guild war" challenge. The challenges are universal to all players on the server.

Daily Challenges can be seen by joining or creating a room.

Lastly, DCS will see further development as we watch the system and the feedback we get from the community. We hope to add interesting challenges to the mix.

General Rate Challenge

• Statically set to 2x rates
  • DMS Completion (Cash) Speed
  • EXP Rates
  • Code Rates
  • 1 challenge generated per day

Guild War Challenge

• Statically set to 2.5x rates
  • Guild Point Rate
  • 2 challenges generated per day
  • Since 2 challenges are generated, rates will stack. If you can play with both challenges met, the rate will be 5x.
