* **Change log:** Tier 2 Rewards have been changed. New battle text added to notify when you lose your turn while Frozen.
* With this week’s release, we’ve made changes to the T2 Leaderboard rewards.

# **Please see the attached message from Bitverse Leadership regarding this update:**

*"Going forward, T2 will no longer reward gems. We’ve replaced these with familiar-based chest rewards which are outlined in the attached image.* ***Note: The newly implemented tier rewards listed above are subject to potential change in the future should it be deemed necessary at the time.*** *Each chest will grant one T1 or T2 Familiar that fits the rarity of the chest, meaning that if you were to receive an Epic chest, you would get an Epic familiar.* *These changes will provide new users with rewards that are more closely aligned with their needs in these tiers and are intended to encourage players to continue progressing in their Bit Heroes Quest journey.* *We understand that these changes may not come as pleasant news for some members of the community, specifically those who are in possession of multiple heroes that are currently used to ‘camp’ this tier for gem rewards. While we initially believed that there would only be a handful of players who would utilize this strategy and we were not particularly concerned about it, after watching data trends for the past few months we have observed that it has become problematic.* *This is detrimental to the economy of the game, new players (who cannot get those gems anymore, which were meant to help them progress faster), and non-NFT players (to whom we promised that most NFT perks would be convenience perks and not game-advantage perks), to the point where it threatens the longevity of Bit Heroes Quest.* ***Note: it’s important for the broader community to understand that the decision to change the Tier 2 rewards lies with us, and not with members of the community who supported us by purchasing Bitverse Heroes. Please don’t direct frustration their way. Additionally, the RT was not privy to this change so we ask that players refrain from unfairly blaming them.** If you’re in possession of a Bitverse (NFT) Hero and are no longer satisfied with the perks that come with ownership, please remember that these are player-owned assets and can therefore be sold on several web 3 marketplaces such as Rarible - we’re still working on delivering outstanding perks but also understand that this change may affect your desire to remain in possession of them.* *We are keenly aware that some of our more savvy players raised concerns early on that we should have more closely heeded, and we really regret not immediately recognizing the validity of their concerns. This is an important lesson for us and we’ll be doing all we can in the future to avoid such scenarios from coming to pass. If you have feedback to share with us, please feel free to do so in #feedback-bh, and **for 1:1 account support, inquiries, or requests please contact Customer Support.***🆘https://bitheroes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
