Thanks Sparton. So has the Daily Rewards and Achievements claiming bug been fixed?
Is it safe for me to claim my 10 Achievements? I don’t want to lose them and have to contact CS!

Bought 14 Christmas Souls before the update... can they be refunded?

if everything works as intended, this will be a nice update
thanks for the 300 character slots upgrade, a big step!

but no fixes to aof and his random extra turns so far?
looking forward to the update, but i dislike that the christmas souls are only available for ironite. but i bet/hope the arena event will let us get some fragments

edit: nice that i inpired you to implement a timer, but i would have prefered to inspire you to use 3 troopers at once...

Somehow I got in early but got kicked out. Looks like 8 additional skillshards for tailgunner. Yikes, quite an investment for a four star Eddie. I think his buffs will be cool, but he is going to be too hard to keep alive to be useful in pvp.

Sparton - will Christmas souls be available as Sacrifice rewards?

Thank you!

I've been pretty excited in waiting for this update and it's... Almost as good as I hoped. But it's still great.

King Edward the Great (I will only address him as such) sounds like a real good one. His fury, while not very focused on the enemy, sounds fantastic, especially those who use those golden buffs. His basic attacks sound like they should be power attacks and I can see them messing with teams that rely on the usual "Guard Shield, Counterstrike" shtick.
The new Sacrifice buff sounds intense but perhaps it could be abused if it's coupled with immortality? A good note for research. All in all, he seems worthy of the King title and a true 5* in my opinion. Can't wait to try him out one day.

The Christmas Soul part is kind of sketchy because last I checked, Christmas souls were basically rare souls who might also drop exclusive characters. And considering how rare 4-5* toons are, you'll need alot if you want to get Krampus. Since you say there will be more ways to get Christmas souls soon I'll hold off on whether of not I actually like it.

The Quest Completion timer seems more of a nifty gimmick than a solid feature but it sure beats having to record my runs from a second source. I'm sure it'll be fun to craft the fastest team with everyone else.

The Character Tuning is 100% fantastic. No nerfs and only buffs and fixes, I love it.

Making the Gunner Chopper and Warrior Trickster available, while I like the idea, it kind of makes you wonder about whether we should actually get the event characters or just wait until they are released again. My argument to that is that while the event is on, we can guarantee getting them.

The best part about the Inventory changes is the GIGANTIC increase in character slots. Up to 300 is incredible.

All in all this a a good update that focused on fixing many of the problems we've been having and I'm glad that it wasn't about introducing another half broken feature. I'm a bit bummed that the "secret new content" isn't here but the way I see it is the longer we wait, the better it will be....or something.

As far as I know the fix is live with this update.

A bought soul is a bought soul.

If you're concerned about not having gotten the correct data, you wouldn't have been able to buy the souls unless you had the data for the souls. You just wouldn't be able to use some of the new resulting characters without the new update (as there are bug fixes/combat functionality additions/etc in the new update for them).

Sparton - will Christmas souls be available as Sacrifice rewards?

This year's Christmas Souls are currently only available from the store. Emphasis on currently.

They will become available by other means as well, but nothing more specific to announce yet.
