Artefact exploit and the punishment for using it
There was an exploit in the game which allowed players to upgrade their artefacts unlimited times. This resulted in artefacts with incredibly high stats. We have fixed this exploit and we will delete every bugged artefact from the inventory of a Hero as soon as they log in. Furthermore, the account will be automatically banned for 7 days.
There will be no compensation for lost time of shards, licenses and other items which last only a certain amount of time, if the account was banned.
Using exploits and bugs is against the Terms of Use and Rules of Conduct. We do not tolerate such behavior. Each account which has been identified using an exploit or bug will be flagged for the future. If such an account is identified as using bugs or exploits again, the account will be banned permanently.
We would also like to point out, that at no time were the finalists of the Champion of Ashan Tournament using bugged artefacts during the finals. We monitored their accounts before and during the finals.
Unlimited usage of resource bundles
It was possible to use one resource bundle from the shop over and over again. We have fixed this bug and resource bundles are no longer useable more than once.
Better artefacts in the equipment boxes
We have created a new type of equipment box for Heroes that have already reached level 30. These new Dragon Knight Boxes will always hand out a relic suited to the challenges of a Dragon Knight.
