A small patch was deployed via Steam today to update tooltips to reflect a server-side change reducing the power of certain Conquest vehicles. Specifically:
Golden Vandal health reduced from 70,000 to 30,000
Golden Vandal cargo requirement increased from 40 to 300
Black Lance Vandal health reduced from 35,000 to 20,000
Black Lance Vandal cargo requirement increased from 40 to 200
The first Conquest zone victory has occurred, as the "I" alliance finished construction of a Forge in the Citadel zone yesterday, March 25th. Congratulations to the victorious alliance on a successful campaign over the past two months. For more details, see the announcement.
Hi-Rez has made an announcement regarding some Conquest zone open time changes that will be going in effect related to Daylight Savings Time (as well as some tweaks to open time durations). Check out the details and time schedules here.
We've been reevaluating overall rewards in AvA, and ultimately we hope to provide the best of both worlds. As we examine possible future features, such as agency leveling and the rewards that go with that, we hope to provide a boon for everyone who participate in or wins a zone, while also still providing the specific limited rewards that cause some friction if the winning group is too large. Currently the reward is lifetime name recognition (in a number of places), a cache of unique equipment, and some very unique apparel items. Not only are the apparel items limited, but they come in the form of Officer quality (very limited) and Soldier qualities. I do suspect the rewards will change from win to win, and as we improve AvA and the game overall. --HiRezScott
