Cake VS Pie - News Update

Most people will have noticed this by now, but I am still posting it here.

Now summoning bosses in NINE different channels!

When a faction has turned in 100% of the faction pieces, look for the announcement that bosses will be summoned in channels 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 10. Remember, turning in faction pieces in any channel will contribute to the tally in that town.
Victory is determined by the faction that has taken over the most channels!
To take over a channel simply defeat the boss in that channel or wait until the timer runs out. You’ll need to dominate at least 5 channels to win the battle.
In situations that result in a tie, the faction that summoned the boss will win.

Better communication!

Messaging has been changed to better communicate to players when a channel or map is full.

Less Lag!

Some changes were made to how certain graphical elements are handled so you should experience less lag.

The rewards are given out as before--you’ll have to have handed in faction turn-ins and be on the map when the boss is defeated, or when the timer runs out. We just have a lot more channels for you to duke it out now! And what does all this mean? More of you will be able to enjoy the epic battle that is Cake vs. Pie!

This historic war of desserts will last until June 15th and to the victors will go awesome spoils:
- 50% EXP bonus when hunting in surrounding maps
- Town merchants will offer a discount of 20%
- Mini-dungeon access
- 5th Anniversary Insignias (can be traded for a 5th Anniversary permanent weapon and more!)
