Game support
Since 2015, players must pay more than $50.00 for in-game currency known as gold to be able to submit a support ticket to Kixeye about in game problems without paying $50.00 you are only able to report hackers or harassment.
Forum support is still available for the players who have not spent $50 over the lifetime of gameplay on Kixeye. This includes contact with Moderators (volunteers players who have can contact any of the Kixeye game teams at any time) and Community Managers (CMs) for each game. Many of the game-related issues can be answered by players who have already experienced the issue.
Event
The monthly event consists of attack, defense and now specific faction bases where only certain units from one of the three current factions (See Above) can be used. the completion of these waves grant event exp that can be used to purchase units tech and the bragging right based trophy. Certain waves also grant new release units. The event can be run through 5 times and the player can restart at any time, but additional restarts can be earned by completing the main event track.
Onslaught
The monthly Onslaught event consists of 40 defensive waves which increase in difficulty as the player progresses; this has become less favorable to players due to a decrease in prize value and an increase in difficulty. The onslaught cannot be replayed but in the last couple months has occurred twice. Defending units will instant heal after each wave but only to the health they had at the start of the wave.
Invasion
The monthly Invasion event consists of 10 difficult defensive waves where higher tier players battle to get the fastest time for superior prizes and bragging rights.
