Cursed Coliseum and Guild Milestones Updates
We've got exciting news about the Cursed Coliseum! We’ve limited the daily run from 8 to 6, which means players can complete their daily sessions faster from now on. This change was the result of feedback from the top guild leaders in Axie Classic. Our aim is to ensure a healthier and more sustainable experience while also discouraging multi-accounting.
Aside from winning in Grand Tournament matches, don't forget that every victory at the Cursed Coliseum helps you and your guild earn Guild Points too. As your guild gets more points, it unlocks additional exciting rewards. These include a portion of the 3000 AXS prize pool from the Guild Milestone.
We've refreshed the Guild Milestones system to prepare for the influx of new guilds. If guilds exceed the target number of guilds for a certain milestone, they will split the total reward for that milestone among themselves. Still, the most AXS a guild can earn from the milestones is 260 AXS.
Improved Private Tournament
When we launched the Private Tournament feature, we empowered hundreds of communities to host tournaments their way. Yet, we knew we could do better. We listened to your feedback. Now, we're rolling out an update to give you more command over your Private Tournament experience. One issue was clear: players were sharing private tournament passwords with unwanted participants. We've fixed that. Hosts can now remove unwanted participants from their in-game tournaments, giving them the control they need.
The Private Tournament feature has huge potential, and this update is just the beginning. Expect more innovative upgrades designed to further empower community-hosted events.
Final Thoughts
There’s never been a better time to dive into Axie Classic. The Classic Competitive Circuit is heating up. Guilds are getting fiercer. Classic received an art upgrade. It’s an exciting time in our digital nation — let’s keep pushing!
