Hey, everyone!

January has been quite a busy month, but as we stated in our previous Q&A, here are the answers to the questions received during the month of January.

As always, thanks for your contributions. :) And submit your questions for the next edition through our our form.

  1. The invite codes for private coalitions was a great addition to the game. I lead a couple of top 10 teams and use this feature a lot to eliminate the problem of random players joining the team during transition times when players are switching teams. When a random player takes the spot of a teammate who is receiving a promotion or returning from a break, it can cause the team to panic when it happens close to the event start time and the leader is not available to kick the random player. However, the short duration of the invite code, which only lasts 24 hours, is itself causing a similar issue. When a player is unable to join right away, the invite code can expire, and if the leader is not available to create a new invite code, the player is unable to join. This also causes panic within the team as they try to contact the leader. Is it possible to extend the duration of the invite code to a much longer time? We set the rosters two days prior to the start of the event so at the minimum, 48 hours should be sufficient. A one week period I think is ideal since regular Discord invite codes last for a week and it would be nice to send a recruit both a Discord and a game invite code that has the same life span.

    Answer: Thank you for the kind words, and for taking the time to put this text together giving context for your suggestion.
    When this feature was first discussed during the development cycle, one of our concerns was that the codes might be shared with unintended players, potentially undermining the feature’s functionality. However, since no such issues have been reported, we are confident in adjusting the duration of these invites to better serve their intended purpose.
    With the release of the next version update (7.1.0), invite codes will be extended to last 72 hours.
