Due to recent errors with the drop rates of certain items the following changes are going to occur.

If you have an Void Axe, Core Staff, Core Shield or Abyss Crystal with an ID from 8249517 to 8267879 then it is going to become 'tainted'. This will change the name and artwork of the item slightly and reduce its trades to 0.

If said item was on the market it will be removed and placed in your void for collection. This change will occur for 28 x Abyss Crystals, 28 x Core Sta(ves?), 22 x Core Shields and 8 x Void Axes. If your item was missed while you were under the effects of double luck and have a non-tainted item, send in a ticket to let us know.

You wait ages for a blog then 3 come along at once. In addition to the previous change, the following tiles will be unblocked for movement.

8:2, 2:8, 14:8 and 8:14

As funny as it would be to see one gang permanently locked in to their little alleyway, this isn't really very good sportsmanship!

Ok, as per the previous blog. Following this hourly tick the Grounding Station will no longer be capturable by normal means. It will be under the permanent control of the lowest scoring gang. In addition to this it will not earn the controlling gang any additional points towards their score. (Although it was only giving +10 points anyway because it was technically red zoned, despite being accessible)

Results for the last round of warfare are below. New mechanics are working, we got a few bugs fixed early on. As fun as it was to have a tile that was controlled by both Outcasts and Blade of Dawn, that is now fixed.

The auto-switching to the weakest gang mechanic is working but at present the strongest gang can just recapture before the hourly tick to set their own conduits. I'm undecided on whether or not this is a good thing at present. It will definitely be annoying to have to recapture it 24 times a day but if gangs are willing to do that it kind of defeats the point of giving it to the weakest gang in the first place.
