4.8.0 S4 Battlepass & Seal Changes
Hey, hope everyone is doing well! This update will be bringing in our 4th season of the battlepass and marking our first full year since we launched the Battlepass, with many more to come! With this we also have balanced seals, phalgomor changes, and misc QoLs. This also marks the end of our valentines event, hope everyone had a chance to get at least 1 unique item.
We have also updated our refund-policy and will continue updating other parts of the discord and rulesets, as part of our ongoing rehauling.
Make sure to fill out the Spring feedback form listed below here, same one in #announcments. We are always looking on ways to improve, and this is one of those times to provide input on how you feel about the game in its current state.
We have a new longterm Nexus. It will receive seasonal updates/looks, but we plan to stick with this theme and layout longterm. BQ & Deathmod spent a long time taking feedback from New & Veteran Players in order to build a nexus that looks beautiful and is easy to access. Most base portals have now been reskinned as well. Make sure to check it all out, lot's of easter eggs! If you watched BQ's stream, you'll have an idea of what it looks like already.
Sebafra has also been working on shipping a bunch of client improvements from a cleaner character selection to custom resolutions. He's also created a few new UI's, such as a Star Customizer which you can find in the nexus.
Guild Rewards will be re-enabled for the next 72 hours. Make sure to claim them!
Staff Changes
We're excited to be welcoming G+ to the spriter team, and promoting Comfrog to SrMod. We have also added YungCarty to our dev team, will be helping out with the ddosing and other security tasks. We have recieved over 90+ feedback forms and appreciate every single one. It has been a super eye opening experience, and you've helped us understand what you're looking for from Valor, so please keep them coming.

Seal Changes
With this patch, we are bringing another round of balancing changes. This time to seals, and focusing on trying to bring out more metas, and make certain seals more useful.
