Welcome back, agents!

We’ve been hard at work prioritizing and fixing the biggest issues you’ve surfaced since the launch of Misery Empire last week. We are happy to announce we have a chunky hotfix that will address a large amount of issues for you today. On top of the fixes, we are bringing some XP balancing tweaks to make catalog progression smoother and matches feel more rewarding. We’ll keep looking at the effects this has to see if it warrants further tweaks.

Of course, this is not the entirety of known issues we are currently tracking and you can expect more fixes on the way in the future.

With that said, let’s get to it!

Catalog Token
Lowered XP required to gain a catalog token from 7500 to 6000 for a smoother progression.

Match End XP
Raised base XP reward from simply playing a match from 150 to 250 XP. This also scales with the solo XP multiplier and victory multiplier.
