Changes to Invocation Card Upgrades & Free Card Compensation

 Greetings from the Cookie Run: OvenBreak team.

In order to alleviate some of the difficulties or confusion in upgrading the newly added Invocation Cards, the team has decided to make some improvements and changes.
Due to some of these changes requiring additional work, we apologize beforehand for not being able to apply all of them immediately.

1. (Planned Changes) Invocation Cards: Alleviated Resources Needed for Promotion
In order to reduce the required resources for promoting an Invocation Card, the following adjustments will be made.

[CHANGES]
    - Planned for July 1.
    - Due to additional development and/or the app review and verification process, it may take more time to apply the changes.

[BEFORE]
- In order to promote an Invocation Card, you need to have an extra copy of the same card.

[AFTER]
- In order to promote an Invocation Card, you need to have an extra copy of the same rarity.2. (Planned Changes) Limitations to Invocation Cards in Breakout
In order to avoid situations where collecting multiple copies of the same Card would be necessary, we are going to limit the max amount of duplicate Invocation Cards that can be used per Breakout run to 1.

[CHANGES]
    - Planned for July 29.
    - Due to additional development and/or the app review and verification process, it may take more time to apply the changes.

[BEFORE]
    - If you have a total of 10 Dark Thunderstorm Invocation Cards, you can use each of those cards once in a single Breakout run.

[AFTER]
    - Even if you have a total of 10 Dark Thunderstorm Invocation Cards, you will be able to use only one of those cards in a single Breakout run.3. (Planned Changes) Adding Information on Maximum Points & Limits for Invocation Cards
Because of some Invocation Cards having a large gap between the minimum and maximum obtainable points, there is an upper limit to those points. However, due to an oversight, the explanation on this limit was missing from the game and will be added in the future. We apologize for this error.

[CHANGES]
    - Planned for July 1.4. (Planned Changes) Adding an Auto-Activation Feature to Invocation Cards
In order to make the usage of Invocation Cards more convenient, we are planning on adding an auto-activation feature to the Invocation Card effects, as well as the ability to turn that feature either on or off. We hope to complete development on this feature by the next update.

[CHANGES]
    - Planned for July 29.
    - Due to additional development and/or the app review and verification process, it may take more time to apply the changes.5. Epic Invocation Cards and Other Compensation
As a token of apology for the confusion caused by the new Invocation Card system, we are planning on giving all players 5 copies of the Dark Thunderstorm Invocation Card, as well as the materials required to upgrade them to the MAX Rank (★5). We will also be giving additional items to provide all players with a more enjoyable gaming experience.[ELIGIBILITY]
    - Every player who logged into the game before July 28, 3 PM (UTC)
    - The compensation will be sent via the in-game mailbox.
