Halloween, BP & Combat

Firstly, an appreciation to you all for making our first seasonal event special. We've had plenty of feedback so far & as mentioned before the event, we'll be using it as a baseline to make future season events even better. Feel free to keep the suggestions coming as we're not that far away from the festive period!

October was our most active month since launch and the final day was our most active day ever with concurrent users online between 145-158 for over 9 hours.

Reminder that the Halloween store closes at the end of today (00:00 server time). Claim rewards and spend up before then - True Coins unspent stay in your inventory and can be used next year. I have no information relating to True Coins being convertible in other seasonal events, so don't rely on it! Pumpkin Coins & Spirits are cleared and do not save for next year.

Battle Pass Season 8: Topaz

Topaz begins November 5th @ 00:00.

As mentioned in a previous gazette, Season 8 will cost $7.50 for all players who use the website to purchase - App checkout is excluded but App users can switch to the website version at any time to take advantage of the offer. It's also the beginning of our subscription launch after many suggestions to provide one - it's finally here. Normal subscription pricing will be $12.50 from Season 9 and is Website only.

Subscriptions made before November 5th will obtain a one off bonus of 250 Mafia Gold when the new pass begins.

Battle Report Update & Combat Formula Patch

Battle Reports now open as a side by side comparison rather than a long scroll back & forth to compare stats to your opponent.

Strength, Defence, Agility & Dexterity are highlighted at the top as well as Dodge, Crit, Block, Def Penetration & Def Efficiency - so you can now view the most important parts of the comparison with ease. Numerous perks from Careers were missing visual data in reports, they always applied but never showed - that's resolved.

Mansion Bonus: Weapon Workbench (DMG) was previously applying twice & every player had double during combat. This is now resolved.

Additionally, the alert you receive when attacked, those reports would previously delete after 6 hours; this is now increased to 48 hours and as we continue to optimize other areas of the database across the game, we'll eventually be moving all battle report data to store for 28 days on any reports you "Save".
