2015/10/27 21:00 - The game data has been re-optimized. Players have to re-download the game data regardless of whether they have updated to v1.1.1 or not.

2015/10/27 17:20 - Support Unit Acquisition Event is on! Event lasts until 2015/10/31 23:59 Japan time
2015/10/27 17:20 - Maintenance has finished and the game has updated to v1.1.1. Many changes and bug fixes have taken place.

1. AP costs of daily quests have been reduced by 1/2.
   *Rewards and experience have also been reduced to compensate
2. Same-type units grant a massive bonus to experience when used for upgrading
   *Used to be a little bit over 10%, now it's more than 66%. I can't get an exact formula because it seems like there are other factors such as fodder level and rarity that complicate it.
3. Some story and challenge quests have had their difficulty and S-Rank requirements changed.
4. Fixed tooltip description of some units having slow movement speed when it should be normal
5. Fixed a bug where Gundam Virtue's Attune(感応) Seishin skill failed to upgrade into Omega Seishin.
6. Also fixed a tooltip description of the Attune (感応) Seishin. The effect should extend to ALL allies not just allies in range as previously stated.
7. Fixed a bug in the team formation screen where players' displays would crash if they attempted to make any changes while the mecha sprites were loading.
8. Fixed a bug that prevented the game from being played properly upon reaching player rank 5
9. Fixed a bug where Cores dropped from dead units to spawn after 6 seconds.

2015/10/26 18:15 - Major changes and balancing to be done during the maintenance downtime. These changes have been made after JP users input

1. The AP costs to daily dungeons will change
   *No specification to how much the cost will be reduced to.
   *Item drops, drop probability, and experience will be adjusted as well. (Not sure if it will be favorable or not)
2. Using same-type units will grant even more experience when upgrading
   *This probably will not apply to upgrade materials since those things already give so much exp.
