Fixed an issue earlier today causing double battles not to trigger correctly during the co-op instance. They now occur when the player initiating the battle has 2 or more party members. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience.

Hi everyone,

Because the event's fundamental gameplay changed during the most recent hotfix, we have chosen to distribute 2 sets of rewards for this event to compensate players who had older high scores.

Players who were in the top 50 teams at the time of writing have received the normal rewards they would have gotten if the event ended today. The leaderboard has also been wiped so that players can start anew with the fixed mechanics.

Players who received rewards today will not be restricted from future rewards. If they post another Top 50 score by the time this event ends, they will get another set of rewards.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience.
