“Tempest” Battle Replay Contest

Think you’ve got what it takes to prove you’re the Master of the Tempest Event? Post a link to a Battle Replay of you fighting the last level in the Tempest ONP Event as a comment on this post on our Thunder Run Facebook Page, no later than Friday, July 3rd at 17:00 GMT to become eligible to win BIG prizes! 💰

The players who either destroy the Tactical Ops Center the fastest (in one attack), or receives the highest percentage of Base Damage in the first attack wave, will be declared the winners on July 3rd, 2020.

NOTE: To post a Battle Replay link, click the “B” icon at the top of your game to open your “Battle Log”, click “View Log” next to the battle you want to share, followed by “View Replay”. Once the replay loads, click the “Get Link” button and paste the link as a comment on this post on our Thunder Run Facebook Page.

*Some Commanders have been asking if boosts are allowed or not. Normally for these types of competitions, the use of boosts in a replay entry results in the entry being disqualified, but since this was not indicated in the original contest announcement, we will consider creating a separate prize tier for the players that used boosts. Please note however that the prizes for players using boosts will be lower than the prizes for those who destroyed the TOC the hard way.

Prizes:

• 1st Place: 2,000 Gold, your choice of 200k ONP or Hardware, and your replay will be featured on our Battlehouse YouTube channel
• 2nd Place: 1,000 Gold, and your choice of 100k ONP or Hardware
• 3rd Place: 750 Gold, and your choice of 75k ONP or Hardware
• 4th – 10th: Your choice of 50k ONP or Hardware
  • If there is enough interest in this competition, and/or we receive a lot more total submissions than 10, we will consider breaking down additional prize tiers based on attacker TOC level.

Last but not least, just another reminder to all that the free daily repair kit giveaway will end on July 1st, the day before the quarterly PvP tournament begins.

To see where the design team currently stands on various Community suggested features and game improvements, check out the Thunder Run Voice of the Commander Tracker (tracker will receive some clean-up and updates to formatting in the very near future).

We have some exciting news, announcements, and more waiting for you on our most recent edition of the Battlehouse Dev Blog.

New this week in Days of Valor:

L16 Elite AH-64

The Elite AH-64 is here.

As with the recent max unit level increases, your Level 16 Elite AH-64 will feature improved stats and no increase in battalion space requirements. As with any improvement in power, there is an increase in cost, production time, and repair time.

The best part about it? No blueprints are required for upgrading. As long as you have TOC12 and the new building levels for your Maintenance Hangar and Airfield, you can upgrade away!

Craftable Strike Team Improvements

This week we’re also bringing you some quality-of-life updates for the new Craftable Strike Team system. Effective now:

• Strike Team Letter-Number tags now appear when hovering over an Ambush Point in the home base view. Below that it will also now show the equipped Strike Team/Squadron and its level.
• You can now view the stats of any mine, strike team, or strike squadron by clicking on them in the Strike Team Production Menu.

Mysterious riflemen, identified

You might have come across a mysterious group of riflemen in singleplayer maps. These units are part of an update to our cheat detection system. Don’t worry, Commander! If you see these units, it does NOT mean the system thinks you are cheating. It actually means you aren’t cheating.

Daily free repair kit giveaway status

The daily free repair kit giveaway is extended through Saturday, June 6th. Tomorrow, June 5th, we’ll announce whether it will continue for another week or not. Whenever it may end, we’re looking at giving away one Repair Kit and Free Repair Kit as part of the Day 7 Login Reward.

New this week in Thunder Run:

L3 Base Perimeter Upgrade

Looks like it’s getting a little crowded in your base, Commander. Good news! Gundar Arms Industries has secured a new deal on land charters, granting us the ability to purchase more land around our base perimeter.

• Expand by your base perimeter by an additional 10%!
• You must have at least Tactical Ops Center L9 to access the new expansion tier.

If you’re TOCL9 or above: the L3 Base Perimeter upgrade is available now, and accessible via the in-game “Defenses” Store for 1,430 Gold. 

Minefield Updates

Your engineers have improved their minefield charting system. They can now plant more than 28 mines without blowing off their own feet. All those years of playing Minesweeper paid off, I guess?

– TOC levels 3 through 12 all get a boost to the number of minefields they can deploy.
– TOC levels 3 through 10 can build two additional minefields.
– TOC level 11 can build 4 additional minefields, and TOC level 12 can build 6 additional minefields.

No additional research is needed to unlock the additional minefields. Just start building!

Game Improvements

• While this week’s event store is open, from May 14 through May 23, players who previously purchased a Strike Team or Strike Squadron will have those purchases refunded. The items will no longer be purchasable in the store. The new crafting system will go live some time after this migration and refund process is complete.
• Volume Controls update: clicking the volume bar between the plus and minus sign will now mute/unmute your volume. The UI tooltip is updated to reflect this. The game will save your last unmuted volume preference and restore it if you mute. Example: Set music volume to 50%. Click the yellow bar. It’s muted. Click the empty bar. It’s instantly back to 50%.
