Gameplay Prime Emission Formula & Adjustments
After monitoring Prime Emissions throughout Closed Beta, we have taken steps to ensure the health and sustainability of the ecosystem by making adjustments to certain elements regarding gameplay emissions including changes to the Prime Emission Formula, Overclock Keys, and the highest rank multiplier.
Match Avoidance Penalty (Pending)
Players who attempt to exploit matchmaking or dodge unfavorable matchups in Ranked mode will now be given a penalty. When a player receives a penalty, they will have to complete a Ranked match to clear it. The player will not be able to earn any rewards until the penalty has been removed.
Supporting UI to better communicate penalties is planned for future stability patches.

If you own an Avatar, you will no longer need to have it equipped as your PFP in order to utilize its PRIME emission bonus.
The new requirements to receive the PRIME emission bonus are now: hold an Avatar in a wallet that is connected to your account + win a ranked game with the Parallel that matches the Avatar’s Parallel.

Notes from Game Team:
Why did we change Brand? There is some inconsistencies with the cards he created in the singularity and when and if they could be removed from the singularity outside his abilities. We decided to make the change so that all behaviors were the same.
Why no other changes? Closed beta isn't going to be closed much longer. To get ready for that we want to make sure we have as consistent and fair a game experience as possible. Despite my best efforts the game is in a pretty healthy place right now and seems pretty fair especially at the lower levels. We want to make sure we get the larger userbase in while this is true before I continue to shake the hornets nest.
When Planetfall? More PF info will be coming soon and card details will trickle out, but we need to save that content for game health. As we move into open beta we want to attract as many players as possible. If we are successful, and I know we will be, we want to make sure we use PF as a retention tool for maximum impact. That means getting those new people in and understanding the game before we dump a whole load of new cards on them. Its what's best for the health of the game and the ecosystem. We look forward to sharing more updates and hope you enjoy our latest season.
