The Future of Alliance Missions

Commanders, we have some exciting intel to share with you all regarding the future of Alliance Missions!
You have let us know that if there is one thing you can’t seem to have enough of, it’s Gold, and quite often many of you are finding yourself short on the shiny stuff. Previously, we have tried to aid the situation by making The Forgotten Realms Map completely free, and by removing the Gold cost on Difficulties 1-15 on the Shattered Lands Map. We’ve also run a few weeks of free Alliance Missions, and definitely took note when you all told us how much more you enjoyed those weeks.
So, starting November 30th, there will no longer be any cost associated with starting an Alliance Mission Map.
This will help alleviate the bottleneck Commanders have been experiencing with Gold, and free you all up to use your resources to Rank Up Bots and Mods. Gold reward payout values will be reduced to account for the free entry.
Now, it’s very important to note that we will not be returning Gold that is already in your Alliance Treasury. To get the most of your Gold already donated, ensure that you do not donate more than you need to, and use up your gold treasury before November 30th’s Alliance Missions commence!
We will be disabling all donations to the Treasury following the conclusion of the final paid entry Alliance Mission series on Monday, November 27th. Any remaining balance will stay in the treasury unable to be used, so only donate what is needed!.
But wait! That’s not all!
You’ve all come a long way since the game’s launch, and some Alliances have already started to play on, or are approaching, Difficulty 100. Which means, we are now ready to introduce the next Challenge!
With the Alliance Missions starting on November 30th, we’ll be introducing a brand new map, the Ancient Sanctum! Ancient Sanctum will be more difficult than the Shattered Lands map and require more teamwork, but the rewards will be worth the extra effort!
More information on the new map will be coming as we move closer to the launch, so stay tuned!
We hope that you all are looking forward to these improvements, and are as excited as we are!

Will there be any changes to the rank rewards?
We are looking at changes to Rewards, but you'll have to wait and see!
We're still only allowing 3 Bots in Alliance Missions. You'll have to continue to choose your Difficulty wisely!
*
This will help alliances grow and get stronger to try and compete in the new maps, and not have them be left behind because their score is so much lower than the alliances that can complete the new map.
Perhaps do some Math so that the amount you put in on the second last day is just nice for the last day so everything is all used up nicely??
Run higher AM to burn off that gold and get better rewards? There are more important things Kabam needs to focus on instead of figuring out how to return excess gold. They are giving plenty of notice to use up the treasury.
Use some math and run higher difficulty over the next 2-3 AM. If done correctly, you probably won't run more than 3-5 levels higher than your current usual. Test your mettle. Good opportunity to see what you are all truly capable of.
With the mention of map 3 needing more teamwork.. can that be elaborated? Does it mean splits of more than 4, a longer route needing more collective energy?
Who will map 3 be aimed for? Not just people that can do diff 100, right?
I think we need a map overview, because it's very hard (impossible at times) to know from in game where someone is if they're not near you or what nodes haven't been cleared if they're not near your current position.
Knowing how much energy other people in the bg have would also be helpful but not as mandatory as a map overview.
It won't be aimed for just d100 people. Should encompass a lot of people but it's also dependant on what mods they use.
411 will have an overview within a week or so of the map being out. (Hopefully)
With that said am changes all look great hopefully some change in rewards to help make some lower allies feel its worth pushing for higher rewards comes with this
What's next mounth improved bot ?
If you don't see the benefit, then it is because you are running low enough difficulty that your maps are gold neutral. This is not the case at higher difficulty, at all.
If they remove the gold cost of maps and lower the gold reward, we are all still getting more gold as a result. This is an improvement for everyone, at every difficulty.
Will the rewards for these shards be updated with better rewards (Shattered Lands crystal rewards are getting pretty dated) or will adding a third map mean that the better rewards will just be on that map?
Just trying to figure out if I need to be hoarding my Shattered Lands crystals if they're going to be upgrading rewards or if the upgraded rewards will just now be in Map 3.
Thanks, and looking forward to the new content.
