A pity system essentially guarantees that a player will earn one of the highest value items in a box after opening a set number of boxes. You can still earn one of those items opening less boxes if you are lucky of course, but this system will guarantee that you will pull one of the highest value items eventually.
• You will be able to see how many more of a certain box you need to open before the pity system comes into effect before opening any particular box.

NEW CHAPTER

ARBEE CHALLENGE NODES

• A new feature coming to the Season Tour in Season 10 is the introduction of Arbee Challenge Nodes. Once a player has reached Player Rank 25, certain race nodes in the regular Season Tour chapters will become Arbee Challenge Nodes.
• Arbee Challenge Nodes will have an extra, more challenging Race Goal with higher level requirements to complete in addition to the usual 3 Race Goals. Players can choose to toggle this feature on or off at any time.
• Completing this additional Arbee Challenge Goal will earn players extra progress towards Arbee Challenge Milestones, an additional reward track for players to earn some great in-game items.

• Currently, only Racers who are within a certain distance of the player in front of them and following their path benefit from the slipstream bonus which fill their Manual Boost Bar.
• Starting in Season 10, any Racer that is not actively granting a slipstream bonus because there are no rival Racers in close enough proximity to them for a period of 5 seconds, will start to spawn Nitro Fuel bottles directly behind them on the track every few seconds.
• Any other rival player can pick up these Nitro Fuel bottles which will fill their Manual Boost Bar, helping them to catch up to those in front of them. Nitro Fuel bottles cannot be seen or picked up by the Racer who spawned them nor can they be picked up by teammates in Team Mode races.

RANKED MULTIPLAYER WIN STREAKS

• Starting in Season 10, players can now earn a Win Streak bonus for finishing in the podium places in multiple Ranked Multiplayer races in a row.
• As you increase your Win streak counter, you will receive additional MPR points each race, up to a max of 5.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN-INSPIRED RACERS UNIQUE SKILLS

• Normal Activation: Several skeleton hands appear on the racetrack in front of Barbossa, slowing opponents down on contact and generating a cursed coin.
• Charged Activation: Skeleton hands spawn around Barbossa for an average period of time, slowing opponents that get close to him and generating a cursed coin for Barbossa.

After collecting Nine Pieces of Eight, Tia Dalma adopts her true form as goddess Calypso, creating a whirlpool around herself that pushes opponents away. 
• Charged Activation: Tia Dalma channels the power of the sea to generate boost fuel for a moderate time. Whenever she touches a Racer, she grants them long-lasting fuel generation, and collects a Piece of Eight. After collecting Nine Pieces of Eight, Tia Dalma adopts her true form as goddess Calypso, creating a whirlpool around herself that pushes opponents away.

Game Balance

RACER CLASS BALANCING

RACER BALANCING

RACER DONALD DUCK

• Donald Duck’s Top Speed stat has been increased.
• The amount of Manual Boost gained while shielded during the normal activation of his Unique Skill has been increased by 30%.

RACER MOWGLI

• Mowgli’s Top Speed stat has been increased.
• The amount of Manual Boost gained from driving close to the wolves during the normal activation of his Unique Skill has been increased by 40%.

RACER JUMBA

• The duration of stun applied to Racers by the normal activation of his Unique Skill has been reduced.

RACER ARIEL

• The speed boosts granted during the charged activation of her Unique Skill have been reduced by 25%.

RACER URSULA

• The duration of the charged activation of her Unique Skill has been reduced by 20%.

RACER ELSA

• The duration of the normal activation of her Unique Skill has been reduced by 20%.

RACER KRISTOFF

• The number of flaming blankets generated during the charged activation of his Unique Skill has been reduced by 20%.

TOP SPEED STATS

• The following Racers are all having their Top Speed stats increased:
  • Mickey Mouse, Daisy Duck, Belle, Meg, Elizabeth Swann, Jessie, Stitch, Angel and Fix-It Felix.

TEAM MODE

• Team Mode is an exciting and social new way to experience the thrills of Disney Speedstorm that will see 2 teams of 3 players competing against each other out on the racetrack.
• Team Mode is an additional competitive mode in Disney Speedstorm and as a result, you will now be able to select Solo Mode or Team Mode from the Main Menu when queuing for a Ranked Race.

REWARDS AND PROGRESSION

• One of the best features of Team Mode is that you can earn rewards and progression for both your individual Racers and the brand-new Player Rank system.
• Team Mode races grant slightly less progression than Solo Mode Ranked Races, however, the MPR points lost in a Team Mode Ranked Race are also less than in a Solo Mode Ranked Race.

MATCHMAKING AND PARTIES

• When queuing in Team Mode, players can queue alone or with 1-2 other players. Players who queue alone (solo) will be automatically paired with 2 other players.
• There are also no restrictions on the Racers that can make up a player’s team in Team Mode.

RACE ACTION PHASE

• During the action phase of Team Mode races, there are a number of important differences to know about when it comes to gameplay mechanics.

COMMON AND UNIQUE SKILLS

• The effects of both Common and Unique Skills will only affect the relevant team. For example, the charged activation of Racer Anna’s Unique Skill “Love Thaw” will only grant invulnerability and Manual Boost to Racers on her team and will not affect Racers on the rival team.
• Consequently, using the charged activation of the Common Skill “Fire” will only stun Racers on the rival team who are within the Area of Effect (AOE) and will not stun Racers on your own team.
• A key strategy is to build the perfect team of Racers, with complementary Unique and Common Skills. Some Racers can shine even more in Team Mode so make sure you try as many combinations as you can!

DASHING IN TEAM MODE

• Successfully dashing Racers on the rival team in Team Mode works exactly how it does in Solo Mode. For example, Brawlers stun rival Racers when dashing and Tricksters receive a random Level 1 Common skill from their loadout.
• Successfully dashing Racers on your own team in Team Mode is where the fun really begins! Dashing Racers on your own team will not stun or apply a knock back effect, but you can both benefit from the different Racer Class dash bonuses.
  • When a Defender Class Racer dashes a teammate, both players will receive a Shield.
  • When a Speedster Class Racer dashes a teammate, both players will receive a speed boost.
  • When a Brawler Class Racer dashes a teammate, both players will receive Manual Boost.
  • When a Trickster Class Racer dashes a Trickster Class teammate, both players will receive a random Level 1 Common Skill from their respective loadouts.
  • When a Trickster Class Racer dashes a non-Trickster Class teammate, the teammate will receive one of the following Level 1 Common Skills: Boost, Rush, Shield, Shot. The Trickster Class Racer will receive a random Level 1 Common Skill from their loadout.

VICTORY CALCULATION

• In Team Mode, each individual player is awarded a score based on their finishing position in the race. The team with the highest cumulative score will win the Race. This means that you should compete until the very end of the race as every place counts!

RANKED RACE IMPROVEMENTS

NEW RANKED RACE PROGRESSION SYSTEM: PLAYER RANK

• Player Rank is a new progression and reward system that is coming to the Ranked Race game mode in Season 8. This new system is in addition to the existing individual Racer reward and progression paths which will continue as normal in Season 8.
• Players can earn Player Rank Points by progressing through Ranked Race leagues with all of their Racers.
• At various Player Rank milestones, players will unlock rewards including Racer Unlocks, Racer Shards Crew Shards, Upgrade Coins, Reward Capsules, Customization items and more!
• Racer Steamboat Mickey will now be exclusively unlockable via Player Rank progression.
• At the start of Season 8, your Player Rank will be calculated based on the sum of the current MPR Points Score of each of your Racers.
• You will be able to claim the rewards associated with the Player Rank milestones you have reached at this point.
• The rewards in the new Player Rank progression system will include nearly all the rewards previously granted by the Collection Level progression system. Some customization items will be reallocated to other areas of the game such as the Multiplayer Boxes. Tokens and some Racer Shard rewards will also be granted through Reward Capsules.
• We want to emphasize that rewards are not being removed from the game and existing players still have the opportunity to earn these Collection Level rewards again via Player Rank.
• Players are still able to progress their Collection Level by upgrading and unlocking content in-game, there will just not be any rewards directly associated with it.

CPU RACERS & MPR GAIN/LOSS

• Previously, CPU Racers were not factored into the calculation of how many racers were in the lobby, often resulting in players gaining less MPR Points than they deserved at the end of a race.
• Starting in Season 8, CPU Racers will be treated as if they were real players when it comes to the calculation of MPR Points gain/loss. This should reduce confusion while also making it easier to progress in the early stages of Ranked Races.

MPR POINTS GAIN/LOSS

• The community has flagged that the amount of MPR Points earned based on your finishing position are not high enough while simultaneously, the amount you lose for lower finishing positions can be too punishing. This sentiment is exacerbated at high MPR levels, especially in lobbies with fewer than 8 players. We identified several goals we wanted to achieve:
  • Make it easier and faster to progress in the early stages of Ranked Races.
  • Make it easier and faster to reach higher leagues.Make losses in higher leagues less punishing, particularly in races with fewer than 8 players.
  • Make it easier to pick up where you left off at the beginning of a new Ranked Race season.
• With this in mind, we have redesigned our entire MPR gain/loss tables to make it easier for players at all levels to progress in Ranked Races. This also extends to lobbies with fewer than 8 players.
• We have also taken the opportunity to reduce the MPR Points scale. You’ll notice that you are now gaining/losing smaller numbers of MPR Points from Ranked Races. There is no material change here as we have also adjusted the scale of the total MPR Points needed to progress through the different Ranked Race leagues. This will ensure a cleaner UI.
• A great way to visualize how this makes progress in Ranked Races quicker is that previously, the average number of races required to reach Diamond League was 81. Under the new system, it will only require an average of 48 races.

NEW SEASON MPR RESET

• Starting in Season 8, only Racers in Champion League and above will have their MPR reset at the beginning of new seasons. In addition to this, the reset is restricted to 10 Racers. The 10 Racers with the highest total MPR score in Champion League and above are the only ones affected. These changes will make it much easier for you to pick up where you left off at the start of a brand-new season. The MPR reset does not affect your Player Rank in any way.

COUNTRY LEADERBOARDS

• Season 8 will also see the introduction of a “My Country” filter to Ranked Race leaderboards. So, get ready to compete with your compatriots for bragging rights!
