Clarification: HQ status in Season 14 and no HQs in the Avalonian roads

Hi everyone!

As you already know, with Season 14 you will be able to declare your Hideouts as Headquarters for the first time!

However, some questions have come up in the community regarding this feature that we would like to answer in this post.

There will be no Hideout Headquarters inside the Roads of Avalon in Season 14 and you will not be able to take power cores into roads.

This is due to the following:

  • Transporting power cores through the roads would defeat the original purpose that these cores had, which is to make sure that one cannot sustain more than a certain amount of HQ’s around a specific area.
  • It was considered to have power cores spawn in the roads separately, but we believe that the road hideouts deserve more than a band-aid solution.

Therefore we decided to delay the release of HQs in the roads and will introduce them properly together with other changes in a bigger overhaul of the roads at a later date.

We are very much looking forward to the next couple of seasons to see what you will make of all the changes!

Sincerely,

~Nesnes
