Scheduled Release: Jan. 23, 6PM GMT-4

Micro Credit (@mrc) System

The Micro Credit system a new currency introduced to SPGENS. This currency is designed to be a universal "reward" currency that players can swap into their desired resource.

Micro Credit will be replacing the 1 Loot Crate reward from Boss Raid and will be integrated into various reward structures over time. We plan on slowly phasing out specific rewards in favor of Micro Credits.

Please note the Micro Credit system is highly subject to change.

Ways to Earn

• Mission 300 Level Completions: 10 MRC per Mission Level cleared plus 1 MRC per S Tier - (10mrc + (S Tier * 1))
• Game Completions, DCS #3: 12 MRC per Game Completion, must be a valid room (70%+ Verified Players), game time must be 120 seconds or more
• Boss Raid: 10,000 MRC after completing all 3 stages, 675 MRC per stage completion
• Repeat Boss Raid every 4 hrs: 1,200 MRC per stage

As you play, your Micro Credit multiplier will reduce based on your earnings in a time period. This will reset at your next Visitor Bonus.

Micro Credit Store

• Use the @mrc command to access the store and check your balance.

The Micro Credit store will have the following items/currencies available for exchange:

• Loot Crates
• Cash
• GEN Coins
• Code
• Elements

Guild Accolades

The new Guild Accolades system is an achievement based system rewarded to guilds completing various achievements over the course of the Guild War.

In this patch, there will be 4 guild accolades guilds can compete for. Each of them will reward the guild with a multiplier towards their Guild Point score at the end of the Guild War.

The Guild Accolades will not display other guilds' progression, therefore guilds will not be able to compare their progression to other guilds. Only at the end of the Guild War will each guild know if they have won the accolade prize.

Accolade List

The 4 accolades being introduced are as follows:

1. Guild Mission 300 Mode

 - How to Score: A new mode is being introduced called "Guild Mission Mode". In this special mode, every guild will start at level 1 and compete to earn the highest mission level before the guild war is complete.

Example

1. To give an example, let's imagine the 'Progress' guild has 1,000,000 GP nearing the end of the Guild War and the 'Slow' guild has 1,700,000 GP.

2. The Guild War ends, the 'Progress' guild also has the highest Guild Mission 300 level and earns the +80% GP. The 'Slow' guild has earned the Guild Slayer Score accolade this week and earns +60% GP.

3. The 'Progerss' guild now has 1,800,000 GP (+80% from Guild Mission Accolade) and the 'Slow' guild now has 2,720,000 GP (+60% from the Slayer Score accolade). The 'Slow' guild wins.

4. All accolade scores will reset to 0 and the new Guild War begins.

Commands

• @guild accolade - Shows your guild's current progression with Accolades via the Chat Box.

Closing thoughts

This system was something we wanted to introduce to the game for a long time. Many players spoke to us regarding a new way for Mission 300 to be a viable way to compete in Guild Wars. We also always wanted a way for guilds to compete in PVP in a competitive manner that rewarded them.

We hope you all enjoy this new system, it took us a lot of planning and work to complete but we're glad it's here!

Boss Raid
