OG Street Style & Street Style: World Tour Event Passes
For the special occasion of Street Style as a theme returning, we’re excited to offer 2 Event Passes this update!
The first is OG Street Style, a remake of the original Street Style Event including all the cosmetics earnable from it back in the day. Ying, Maeve, Skye, and Ash have joined back together for a reunion tour to celebrate their impact on the Realm!
The second is Street Style: World Tour, a brand new Event Pass featuring Tyra & Seris! Both Champions are getting a classic Street Style look, but also have recolors giving nods to more modern genres of music and influencers. Fashion is still at the heart of Street Style, so there’s plenty of 2D cosmetics to collect as well!
We’ve also added tech that allows you to preview rewards from the Event Pass in the menu, restoring the ability for people to see all the earnable content in one place. NOTE: Event Pass Chests now expire when a new Event Pass replaces it, with a timer on the chests indicating when that will occur. OG Street Style will run until late this year, and Street Style: World Tour will continue on into early 2025!
General Updates
Arcade 2.0 & Mode Updates
We wrote a Developer Insights blog detailing all of the changes coming to Arcade and Game Modes! To fit all the balance changes in these notes, we ask you read on those changes here: Arcade & Game Mode Adjustments
Quality of Life Updates
New VGS Option: Legacy (Controller)
For a long time, players have requested a console/controller version of what PC KBM players have through the Legacy VGS: access to all the voice lines we used to utilize (and still record for most skins) on a controller. This never was an option, even back in VGS 1.0 as the sheer number of button inputs would be quite absurd and difficult to make intuitive. So that’s exactly what we’ve done! Legacy (Controller) will be available on both PC and Console for controller players to have access to a suite of lines comparable to Legacy on KBM. This is because in order to make it possible, we had to break some conventions and muscle memory for VGS on controller. It will take some learning, but power users should be able to find this version offers them more communication tools should they master it. A few lines (~3) are still missing due to redundancy’s sake and to prevent 5-string inputs. As one would say in this new VGS, [➡️, ➡️, ⬆️, ➡️] Good Luck!
Event Pass Experience
With us continuing the 2 Event Pass system forward, we’re going to adjust how Event Pass XP works. Each level of an Event Pass will now require 1,000,000 XP, meaning that it’ll be quicker to work your way through the tiers than it has been the past several passes and be an easier amount of XP for you to keep track of as you complete Quests to earn the latest rewards. This applies to both passes available in Street Style: World Tour, so during this patch you can level each pass side by side at the same rate!
Account Level Experience
Starting this update, Quests will award Account XP alongside Event Pass XP! This will allow those early in their Paladins journey to earn Gold from levels a bit quicker and start unlocking more of the roster by focusing on the Activities tab. This also will apply to the Daily Quest Completion Streak for those looking to
