I will pay “I can’t get champion XP in arena” if it means the change fee is gone. Speaking from a design perspective, it was weird how profitable arena was compared to PvP anyway. I mean, I _liked it_ but this makes more sense. ---

I’m getting XP. Are you using the actual Hero on those teams? ---

And now I am going to delete the above comments, as they are a mistake on my part. It’s been so long since I cared about Champion XP I forgot how it was supposed to work. I also managed to read Sirrian’s OP and not comprehend it. @Cyrup, false alarm on my part. Feel free to delete _this_ post as well. 🙇‍♂️ ---

Best patch. Effectively adds 20 playable classes. Crossing my fingers for no super debilitating bugs. ---

I can always post you some if you get bored. @nav037 thanks I’ll let the team know. @Sheffield > [@4.2.5 Patch Notes](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/4-2-5-patch-notes/51039/13): > > Due to the reason the class change fee wasn’t removed earlier - old code and technical limitations. This acts as a sort of workaround to enable the class change to be free. > [@4.2.5 Patch Notes](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/4-2-5-patch-notes/51039/16): > > @Rickygervais also to expand on this, previously to unlock a Class’s weapon you didn’t have to use your hero on a team, just have the class equipped. As we didn’t want to change this to require the hero, equipping a class to a team will count as wins for the purposes of unlocking the Class weapon. ---

> [@Cyrup](#): > > Champion XP should be earned for any gamemode except Arena and Training battles. If you aren’t getting champion XP ensure you have attached the Class to the team (i.e. try attaching/selecting a class again). This should be added to op because people rarely change their pet teams or look closely at rewards. You MUST select a class again for each of these teams after patch to get champion xp. ---

Yeah every team got your curent hero class by default but like you said you need to select it again to apply them ---

I don’t see the point in removing class xp from arena. Some people prefer playing arena to other modes, it will be a lot more difficult for these players to get the hero traits now. Please reconsider @Sirrian @Nimhain @Cyrup @Alpheon ---

Supposedly… This update was supposed to fix the issues in global chat. Evidently it was talked about in Salty’s stream. I am not seeing any information about chat in the patch notes though?
