PvP squads, get ready!

This time we are having more than just a regular PvP wipe! Once again several great clans of CryoFall are ready to join the upcoming round for a massive and devastating battle of superiority! If you were hesitant to join some of the previous rounds on the Global PvP server fearing there might not be enough people—now is your chance.

On Global PvP server the faction size limit for this round will be practically removed—100 members per faction (we don't expect hundreds of players this time, but it will certainly make it much easier to manage the factions as their leaders will no longer need to kick low-activity members to accept new members).
Call your friends and consider joining one of the existing clan in our Discord #looking-for-group channel (invitation link)!
Once again, we will also adjust the server rates to ensure higher PvP engagements during the events and high competition for oil and Li deposits.

In addition to the Global PvP server, all other official PvP servers will also have their usual scheduled wipe (every second Friday).

[h2]Wipe date[/h2]
This Friday (6th October), 1 PM UTC (as usual).
For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have:
• 8 AM by Central US (CDT, UTC-5 summer time)
• 3 PM by Central EU (CEDT, UTC+2 summer time)
• 16:00 by Russia/Moscow (UTC+3)
• 21:00 by China/Beijing (UTC+8)
• 10 AM by Argentina/Brazil (UTC-3)
• 10 PM by Japan and South Korea (UTC+9)

[h2]Balance changes:[/h2]
New timegates:
- Tier 3 — available after 1 day since the wipe
- Tier 4 — after 3 days
- Tier 5 — after 7 days

Balance changes:
- Increased (from x5 to x10) amount of loot you get during Space Debris and Meteorite events and from crates in radtowns and in other places (from x3 to x5).
- Reduced the total number of oil/Li spots (from 16 to 10) and reduced the amount of resource domination score points for controlling them by factions (from 30 points/hour to 15 points/hour; reminder: only faction-owned mining bases without active S.H.I.E.L.D. protection are counted towards the score)
- (Global PvP server only) Faction size limit increased to 100 members to make faction management easier (no need to exclude low-activity members to accept new members)
- (Global PvP server only) Faction level upgrade cost increased x4 due to high server rates and higher members cap
- (Global PvP server only) Boss difficultly and loot raised from 7 to 10
