[/p][p]We’re aware that some players experienced an issue during the final hours of the last season:[/p][p]your Blood Pass level was unexpectedly reset to -1 with 0 XP, preventing further progression and reward unlocking — including the Amazons.

This is absolutely not the intended behavior, and we understand how frustrating it must be to lose your progress, especially after putting in so much effort.[/p][p]If you encountered this problem and were unable to unlock your rewards as expected, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team via this link:
