Hi everyone, During this year's developments, we have been thinking a lot about the in-app purchase system. We promised that we would not include PTW systems, and we believe that this choice we have made is the right one. However, the aesthetic component alone and some premium features have not been successful enough, and the risk is that we will not be able to afford the costs of maintaining the services online. Therefore, we thought of adding the option to purchase resources (gems/essence) with diamonds. Even with the addition of this feature we feel that the game does not have PTW elements, as even by spending money, there is no certainty of advantage in matches. The ability to purchase resources with diamonds is just a way to accelerate one's game progress by unlocking and leveling cards more quickly. However, the strategic component during matches remains and will remain unchanged, so victory, or defeat, will always and exclusively depend on the player's skill, regardless of one's cards in possession. However, this system will remain experimental and we will monitor the sitation, in case we will over time adjust it to make it fairer. In ARC we want to maintain the disparity between those who play by paying and those who do not only on the aesthetic/ progress level. Happy new year to all! [h3]New:[/h3] [list] [*] Added new premium shop section: buy resources (essence/gems) with diamonds [*] Added first implementation of VIP system. From now you can gain VIP points each time you spend diamonds (for each 50 diamonds spent you gain 1 VIP Points, minimum 50 diamonds to get 1 points). At the moment the UI part and the benefits for this feature are not yet available, however when it is fully released you will be able to enjoy the benefits of VIP levels with the points you have already accumulated.
