Summary
Today’s update introduces two major changes. The first being big changes to Endorsements. Endorsements now have a stat cap. So you can only have X% increase to a single stat. At that point any endorsements effecting that stat will do nothing. We have also made some endorsements give you big bonuses in one stat while reducing a different stat. The plan is to add a lot of strategy to how you combine your various endorsements.
The second is the first iteration of the Agent metagame. You are the Agent. You earn XP and Combat Credits as you play. We have wiped all your stats, Combat Credits and purchased items. Endorsements now have a slot unlocked every four levels. Playing and earning XP will move your Agent Level up. We have free Pros that you can play or non-free Pros that you can unlock.
