Hello everyone,

After announcing the new competition tools this week, Cup of the day was also something we were working on for quite some time and we're glad to announce to you that the first one will happen on the 2nd of November!

From that date and every day at 7 PM CET, you will be able to play and compete against other players from around the world on the new Track of the day during a Time Attack session that will then be followed by a Knock-out mode. Trophies will be awarded during each Cup of the day to every player based on their position. The cup of the day will be in a beta phase for the upcoming weeks until we are satisfied with it.

The cup of the day known issues:

+ The time gap UI at CPs show the times of already knocked-out players
+ UI issue of TA live ranking when gaining a new rank
+ Unable to see to info popup when playing TA phase
+ Unable to hide/show live TA ranking

Hello!

First, it's really interesting seeing you discover the various challenges to win trophies

I've seen many messages about TOTD and how trophies are given there, basically, you have 2 ways to win trophies with TOTD, the first one you found is getting 7 gold or author medals on a complete week.
The second one is based on daily ranking on the TOTD, but as we experienced some issues concerning the rankings since the release, some of the trophies were not sent to players. We will give you an update on that once everything is fixed.

On a global note, we currently do not plan to release an exact explanation of which trophies you can get through which challenge as we are still making some changes. But you've found most of the challenges!

National (Silver) ranks should also be available pretty s... Read more

This meant that there was a chance to get the top spots if you maintained your streak, and if you stopped playing for a few weeks you could get back up p.easily.

My worry is that with this new system, it's going to ruin that experience for many players. There's going to be a few who are going to achieve a shedload of points and keep it at that with no reset (as far as I can see).

Is there going to be balancing and point caps? I remember when I wa...

How you earn them? Ok. Playing solo or multiplayer. But what is the way?

Hello,

In solo play, you can earn trophies by gaining medals on the official campaign or by getting ranked in the track of the day. Club campaigns also work.
In multiplayer, you earn trophies at the end of each time attack session on every server.
