This Week in the Realm | April 30th, 2024
Greetings Champions! Here's what happening in the Realm this week:
It's that time once again, as an update approaches over the horizon where we chat about various smaller features coming that may not get as much attention during the full reveal. This week, we wanted to chat about some quality of life and player onboarding improvements we've been working on!
Starting in the May Update, all players will see a new questline entitled "Welcome to Paladins" appear in their Activities tab. This questline will guide new players through their early Training matches, reaching open queue, creating a loadout, and then finally encourage them to unlock Ranked at level 20. That's right, as a part of this change Ranked's level requirement will raise from level 15 to 20. That may not sound impactful, but this raises the amount of XP needed by another 75% of the current requirement.
Along this questline, new players will unlock some Gold to spend and Champion Unlock Tokens to select a few Champions they want to explore right out of the gate. For existing players, this questline will allow them to also complete it for these rewards, so even returning or some veteran players looking to round out their roster should take part. It's another small step on a long road of steps we want to take to make it easier to invite your friends into the Realm and do better about educating players.
