## Errors and Compensation

The rewards suffered from multiple issues during August, leading to some extra rewards in September.

* An Emergency Maintenance was performed on the servers on Sep 5. Since there was no app update, there was no Summon Ticket given out.
* The Greater Summon Bis (Aug 4-8) did not include the FFXV Legend Cards as pullable ★5 cards. In compensation, the Greater Summon Bis was Re-offered from Sep 6-13 with **up to 8 pulls at no cost** depending on how many times they used the original Summon.
* The  Supreme Tickets did not show up for all players who logged in. Those players received their Ticket on Sep 6, and the Supreme Summons reappeared for their benefit from Sep 6-20.
* The Increased Draw Rate Greater Summon (Aug 24-Sep 1) was mistakenly listed as including Griever: FFVIII (Card) and Squall Leonhart (Job) in its potential draw pile. It did not. In compensation, all players received  Magicite x500 on Aug 30. Those players who made use of the Summon will receive an equal number of chances at Griever and Squall Leonhart (at similar rarity chances) in a special summon from Sep 13-20.

## Game Balance Changes

Maintenance and Game adjustment news page

Square Enix made adjustments to the overall game balance, with changes to a large number of cards and some base functions.

A game app update was pushed to all users on Aug 1, 2019 (version 2.1.100), adding the August 2019 cards and the Titles functions. As is normal, Square Enix awarded  Summon Ticket x1 to all players in compensation for the 6 hours that the app was down for upgrades.

### Weapon boosts

Previously, Weapon Boost would knock 3 minutes off the boosting time for each point of Stamina used in battle. (4 minutes if you have VIP Mode purchased).
As of the August update, these credits are permanently **doubled** to 6 minutes per stamina point, or 8 minutes with VIP mode.

Effect on battles in Bahamut Lagoon are unclear.

### Titles

**New Feature!** SE is adding a new Titles achievement system with prestige achievements for various overall game actions, such as "X number of fiends killed" or "more than X  Elixirs used". In concept, these are similar to the Trophies in *Final Fantasy XII*. Each Title will grant a permanent increase in your base stats.

This is a separate system from the Steam and iOS GameCenter Achievements that were used in Act 1.

See Titles for more information, and a list of known rewards.

### Starter Packs updated
