Changes to Personal Missions

  • The third operation (Object 279 (e)) of the new campaign becomes available:
    • Accumulative: require achieving a certain value by a specified parameter. The mission lasts until the player fulfils the set condition or runs out of attempts.
    • Series: require completing the set condition within several battles; at the same time the number of attempts is bigger than the number of required completions.
    • Continuous: require fulfilling the set condition in every battle of the series. A failed attempt interrupts the series.
    • Added a new type of missions that should be completed within a certain number of battles. Otherwise, the progress is reset and the mission should be started anew.  Three mission types are available in the operation:
    • The Pause button becomes available in the mission profiles of the operation. It allows pausing a mission: the progress will be suspended until the player continues it. Players can take some rest and be not afraid of losing progress.
  • Improvements to the reward screens:
    • Display of accumulative conditions in the operation profile according to the common interface of such missions.
    • Proper display of missions that have interchangeable conditions “OR“
  • Improvement to the mission profile: the Cancel button is removed.

  • The Stronghold option will be replaced with the Clans option for non-clan players. The option content will be changed too.
