Dear Alpha League players, Greetings! We will be conducting our weekly maintenance at 4 am CET/11 am BJT on March 22th, and at 10 pm EST/7 pm PST on March 21th. With this week's update, we will be introducing a brand new genre: Mech Genre, along with two new heroes specializing in Mech Genre: Alloya and Pulse! This maintenance is expected to last for 2 hours. As usual, after the server maintenance is completed, we will send maintenance compensation of 300 Alpha Coins, 300 Generic Shards, and 6000 Beta Coins to all players via mail. Additionally, as a thank you for following our updates, here is a preview benefit CDK (300 Alpha Coins, expires before the end of March 25th): Asia server: 562403642389434368 Europe server: 562403654963957760 North America server: 562403661549015040 Southeast Asia server: 562403667865636864 South America server: 562404024826073088 [b]Announcement: With the update as of March 22nd, Alpha League has released for a full month. Thank you to all the players for your continuous support. At the same time, the first-month benefits, including the limited-time 15-level cap for all heroes and the discounted supply voucher, are about to end. But we have good news for you: In Ranked Mode, all heroes will now be set to a minimum of level 8, and heroes beyond level 8 will be based on their actual level. Besides that, starting from the update next week, we will randomly select 4 heroes daily to be set at level 15 across all modes. We have also added a normal match mode, where your ranking points will not be affected by wins or losses. Unlike Co-op mode, you can enjoy Alpha League with friends up to 8 players, complete daily tasks, and earn chests.[/b] Here are the patch notes for this update: Part One - Balance - New 1.
