    Greetings Everyone,

    Last Friday was a big preview day with a bunch or reveals of what is coming in just a few days with the Coalitions expansion release. As part of that announcement we gave all of you a chance to vote for the next Pox Nora Loading screen. The voting period has ended and the new loading screen will be:

    With some of last week's announcement we wanted to follow up on some of them so all of you know a little more about what's coming.

    As part of the Coalitions expansion all Rune Forge rates have been updated to be more player friendly specifically with improved shard values when sacrificing runes. Our goals are to:
    • Increased shard generation for all rarities (between 125% to 250% relative to previous values)
    • IN/OUT ratios are now consistent between Core and Extended Set
    • Decreased number of runes required to move up tiers
      • It will now take 20 Rares to craft a Legendary, compared to the previous 30
      • It will now take 4 Exotics to craft a Legendary, compared to the previous 7.5
    • Increased yield when moving down tiers
      • Sharding an Rare will now allow you to craft 5 Uncommons, compared to the 0.83 previously
      • Sharding an Exotic will now allow you to craft 2.5 Rares, compared to the 0.8 previously
    • Extended Set Runes values are now fixed at 150% of Core Set costs
    Champion Costing Update:
    • The costing formula for runes has been adjusted slightly. Cost for DEF, particularly for higher HP units, has been reduced, while costs for base HP has been increased. For the majority of champions, this results in little to no change. Units whose costs are largely in HP will see their cost go up, while units that were previously paying significant nora for DEF will see some cost decrease. Overall, costs will have increased by an average of ~2 nora, with the majority of the increases being on units on the lower end of the cost scale for base stats.
    We have some of the completed versions of the runes we previewed before, along with a new never before seen rune. Now all of you can speculates about how these new runes will affect the meta and what some of the new abilities on these runes will do.

    Note the following is incorrect:
    • Extended Set Runes values are now fixed at 150% of Core Set costs
    It is actually 200%.
