Mob Wars: LCN Syndicate Quests Beta 2

Syndicate Quests are back in Mob Wars: LCN for a second go-around and based on feedback from last time we made some changes to how this feature works. We tried to balance the community’s requests with some our visions and goals for the feature, so make sure to visit the feedback thread to get a look at what’s changed if you haven’t already.

In case you did miss it thought, here’s the list of updates that went into this run of the Syndicate Quests:

• Added Gifting Quest to the Easy Quest pool.
• Added Hitlist Quest to the Easy Quest pool.
• Job Quests allows your highest four Location to contribute, instead of just the highest.
• Diversified Quest pool so Syndicates have a lower chance of repeating Quest types across difficulties.
• Personal contributions are now displayed on each Quest, so players will know how many actions they have added to the total.
• Collecting Quest Cases post-event will now bring you to the Loot Chest page to open them.

While we’re on the subject of Quests, we wanted to touch on the brief latency that the game went through at the start of the event. With the addition of the Hitlist Quest, this essentially touched off a sudden Blitz when the Quests went live. Over the day we saw three times the usual amount of Hitlists, so this was an incredible amount of players participating and listing each other for the Quest.

Due to this surge in requests, our servers did experience a period of latency just after the start of the event which we regret. Our team quickly added additional servers as soon as we could and we restored full service to the game shortly after that.

Going forward, we’ll be adding more servers at the start of future Syndicate Quests to prevent this from happening again. Apologies for the interruption in gameplay, and we’re always learning and working to make the games better.
