Hey SpeedStars,

Join us as we break down the significant list of Racer balancing changes coming to the game at the start of Season 7.

To kick things off, we’ll discuss standard balancing changes that will go live in Season 7 and then move onto a more specific issue with Racer stat caps that required several additional stat-based adjustments for Upgrade Level 50 Racers only.

[h2]RACER & SKILL BALANCING[/h2]

[h3]COMMON SKILL: FIRE[/h3]

• A Racer can only be stunned once by each instance of the backwards activation.
  
• The stun duration from the backwards activation has been reduced.
  

[h3]COMBAT STAT, BRAWLER RACER CLASS & STUNS[/h3]

The Combat stat in-game directly affects the duration of stuns, whether that be when you stun a rival Racer or when your own Racer is stunned. Our team is implementing changes so Racers getting stunned feels less punishing for players. These adjustments are as follows:

• The duration of a stun for Racers with a low Combat stat will be shorter.
  
• The speed reduction effect from being stunned has been lowered.
  
• The duration of stuns received from a Brawler Class Racer Dash has been reduced.
  
• The knock back effect received from a Brawler Class Racer Dash has been increased. 
  

[h3]RACER BALANCING [/h3]

RACER JASMINE

• The normal activation of Jasmine’s Unique Skill only grants invulnerability while she is in proximity to Rajah.
  
• The duration of the charged activation of Jasmine’s Unique Skill has been reduced by 1 second across all Star Levels.
  
• Rajah’s speed has been reduced at Star Levels 4 and 5 for the charged activation of Jasmine’s Unique Skill.

RACER CAPTAIN GANTU

RACER WALL•E

• The amount of Manual Boost granted by collecting the piles of scrap metal from the normal activation of WALL•E’s Unique Skill has been reduced by 15%.
  

[h2]RACER STAT CAPS & CREW CHANGES[/h2]

[h3]RACER STAT CAPS[/h3]

As some players started to “max out” their Racers by reaching 5 Stars and Racer Upgrade Level 50, an issue was identified where stat bonuses granted by Crew members were being “capped”.

After a lengthy investigation by the team, a solution was identified, but it requires re-balancing some stats for Racers at Upgrade Level 50 only. The changes to the affected Racers are listed in full below:

RACER JAFAR

• Top Speed stat has been increased.
  

RACER ARIEL

• Handling stat has been increased.
  

RACER PRINCE ERIC

• Top Speed stat has been increased.
  

RACER KING TRITON

• Top Speed stat has been increased.
  
• Handling stat has been increased.
  

RACER URSULA

• Handling stat has been increased.
  

RACER HANS

• Handling stat has been increased.
  

RACER OLAF

• Boost stat has been decreased.
  

RACER SULLEY

• Top Speed stat has been reduced.
  
• Handling stat has been increased.
  

RACER RANDALL

• Boost stat has been increased.
  

RACER BUZZ LIGHTYEAR

• Handling stat has been increased.
  

RACER WOODY

• Boost stat has been decreased.
  

RACER MINNIE MOUSE

• Top Speed stat has been increased.
  

RACER GOOFY

• Acceleration stat has been increased.
  

RACER CAPTAIN GANTU

• Top Speed stat has been increased.
  
• Handling stat has been increased.
  

RACER OSWALD

• Top Speed stat has been reduced.
  

RACER ORTENSIA

• Top Speed stat had been reduced.
  

RACER THE BEAST

• Boost stat has been increased.
  

RACER MULAN

• Top Speed stat has been increased.
  

[h3]CREW CHANGES[/h3]

The previously mentioned Stat Cap changes gave us an opportunity to review how Crew stat bonuses are applied. Previously, Crew members granted a purely numerical stat bonus, for example, +500 to Top Speed. Going forward, Crew members will now grant percentage-based stat bonuses with the max percentage for each individual stat being +5%. Taking the Top Speed stat as an example, the 5% bonus is tied to the maximum possible Top Speed stat for a Racer.

These changes also allow us to increase the number of different Racer stats a Crew member can grant bonuses to. This means that Common Crew members will now grant bonuses to 2 different stats, while Rare Crew members will now grant bonuses to 3 different stats.

We are also making a change to normalize the behavior of Epic Crew members. Previously, Epic Crew members granted a higher stat bonus to Epic Racers than to Common or Rare Racers. From now on, Epic Crew will grant the same stat bonuses, regardless of the rarity of the Racers they are equipped to.

We are also making some adjustments to the skill bonus granted by the following Crew members:

• King Louie will now grant a skill bonus to Boost instead of Shield. (The Jungle Book Collection)
  
• Auto will now grant a skill bonus to Rush instead of Shot. (WALL•E Collection)
  
• Mrs. Hasagawa will now grant a skill bonus to Shot instead of Hack. (Lilo & Stitch Collection)
  
• Elephant On A Bicycle will now grant a skill bonus to Hack instead of bomb (Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Collection)
  

That’s it for all the balancing changes to Season 7. See you all out on the racetrack!

[h2]UNIQUE SKILLS FOR WRECK-IT RALPH INSPIRED RACERS [/h2]

[h3]RALPH – BAREHAND BOOST[/h3]

• Normal Activation: Ralph pounds on the ground for a very short time. Each pound gives him a small push forward and stuns nearby opponents in a small radius.
  
• Charged Activation: Ralph pounds on the ground strongly three times. Each pound gives him a strong push forward and stuns opponents in a medium radius.
  

[h3]VANELLOPE – GLITCH[/h3]

• Normal Activation: Vanellope enters glitch mode for a very short period of time. She becomes invulnerable and glitches forward when she's hit or collides with an opponent.
  
• Charged Activation: Vanellope dashes forward in a short series of glitches.
  

[h3]SERGEANT CALHOUN – DYNAMITE GAL[/h3]

• Normal Activation: A small number of Cy-Bug breaches appear on the track, creating obstacles. When she drives near the breaches, Calhoun seals them with a grenade and generates score points.
  
• Charged Activation: Calhoun jumps on her glider and autopilots forward at a medium speed. The more score points she has, the longer is the ride.
  

[h3]FIX-IT FELIX – FIX-IT[/h3]

• Normal Activation: Felix eats a pie, instantly refilling his boost bar and gaining a small amount of boost over a long period of time.
  
• Charged Activation: Felix uses his hammer to activate a fix-it aura for a short time, becoming invulnerable. For each opponent that enters the aura, they become invulnerable too and Felix receives score points. When Felix reaches a certain score, he gains a huge speed boost.
  

[h3]KING CANDY – SWEET TREATS[/h3]

• Normal Activation: King Candy shoots three fireballs from his cannon. Each fireball follows a different opponent and gives them a tiny push on hit.
  
• Charged Activation: King Candy conjures a medium-sized candy ball behind him, that rolls backwards and stuns opponents on hit.

The feedback of our community is invaluable to us, and we would like to acknowledge and thank everyone that took the time to share their concerns over the upcoming changes to the Golden Pass.

After the latest Community Pit Stop, we heard from players who had previously purchased Tokens with the intention of using them to unlock the premium tier for future Golden Passes. We are making the adjustment that players will be able to purchase Golden Pass Credits from the in-game Shop for 990 Tokens each. The option to purchase these Golden Pass Credits with Tokens will be available until May 16.

A single Golden Pass Credit can be used to unlock the premium tier of the Golden Pass for either Part 1 or Part 2 of any future season, including the upcoming Season 7.

We’d like to thank our community for their continued patience and understanding. We greatly appreciate your ongoing support and dedication to Disney Speedstorm.

The Disney Speedstorm community is in a bit of an uproar following a change to the pricing of the game's battle pass. The Golden Pass, as it's formally called, could previously be acquired using Tokens that can be earned via gameplay, but beginning with the upcoming season 7, that option is out, and it will only be available for a real-money purchase of $10...
