TGIF everyone! Here’s what happened this past week in Dev and Community! Player Bans July 5 - July 11 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. FB: 1 MS: 30 The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us. If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved. New Limited Items! A new week means new Limited Items! Get these while you can: Battle Drop Exposure A recent change to the Battle page is the inclusion of a pop-up that gives a bit more in-depth detail to your drops! You can also find the battle drop exposure page under Clan, as well. For those asking, you can theoretically go back and get lower-level drops either through enticing a lower level player to attack you or the Battle Arena. Having said that, these low-level items won’t be very useful to you, but for the completionists out there, you do have some options! World Bosses Recently, the World Bosses have been a concern for players. Well, Kano Apps has heard your concerns and we made some last minute adjustments to the Phoenix, meaning that players were able to kill it today! Is this the end, though? Definitely not. The World Bosses need to be revisited and since you guys are the ones fighting them, we’d love to get your feedback! If you can visit this thread here and let us know what you think, that would be excellent. Support Report with your favorite burrowing, nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark! Happy Friday players! I hope you're staying safely inside and gaming instead of out there in the treacherous heat and blistering UV radiation. Should you need to venture out for supplies, don't forget your SPF 60 solar ray repellent. I never do, which has granted me the amazing power of being able to illuminate distant objects at night by shining a flashlight on my skin. The theme in Support lately has been around tightening up our features to prevent possible loops and exploits, as well as better systems to locating possible problem activities as they happen. This should really help us to reduce response time and increase our level of service. And lastly, while we are on the subject of possible violations, there seems to be a misconception that cheaters can only be caught if they break the rules during Kano/Apps office hours. Fortunately, this is not the case. We have a variety automated check in place that can shut an account down regardless of the date/time, and while manual investigations do usually take place while I'm at work, they are based on game data that is being constantly collected. Depending on the type of activity we're looking at, records can stretch back weeks or even years, so if your dastardly plan is to start cheating as soon as the clock strikes 5pm Pacific Time, please don't. Cheers, -Aardvark Terrible Joke of the Week This joke will probably make you fold over with laughter. I hated my job as an origami teacher. Too much paperwork. ← Highlight for hilarity! And that’s everything for this week folks! Thanks for tuning in for another TGIF, and I’ll see you next week! Play Now!
