Kick it out! 10.2 will come on october 31st.

It will introduce the following improvements:

• The counter ace specialists will be improved so that they are a good choice in 541/4231 formations, mostly even better than header formations (of course depending on opponent’s setup).
• The clan challenge requirements will depend on the clan’s average position in the 10 last seasons instead of only the last season. This will make the clan championship more interesting because all top clans will have roughly the same requirements in each season.
• The Player Pack will be upgraded on november 1st: It will contain 2 and not only 1 top platinum player. The third player will become a potential gold to platinum (max 81-99) instead of silver to platinum (max strength 61-99).
• The archivist will have a list of the Clan Master Cup winner teams.
• World Cup collectibles can be recycled.
• Other minor improvements and fixes.

Check out the latest version of the game: It brings a new feature to gather ruby for free by watching rewarded ad videos. Open the promotions screen (for example by tapping the ruby display on the main screen) to start this option. We are introducing this explicitely as a test run, so your feedback is important for us. Note that currently you get 2 ruby for watching an ad video, and the usage is limited to 10 times per hour.

Furthermore, this version drops support for the MQTT mode for technical reasons. You don’t need to change anything, and the game will continue to work as before for you.

We just adjusted the maximum strength which the coach consideres improvable from belov 97 to below 95 for the next 4 weeks. This is a test to find out if the automatic coach setup (which by the way occurs in 0,2% of all matches and losses after coach setup are far less likely than by sensations) can reach higher acceptance. This will be reverted if we receive complaints about supposed manipulation (intentionally losses due to setups with strength between 96 and 94).

As announced earlier, the KiO World Cup Qualifiers are going to start on July 7th.

Qualifier tournaments will be held each hour from 15:30 CEST to 22:30 CEST for 16 days. That’s 128 tournaments, and each tournament winner qualifies for one of 32 groups in the next round.

You can play any number of qualifier tournaments until you win one.

Good luck!

Kick it out! 10.0 is scheduled for release on may 27th 2020 which is the 10th birthday of Kick it out! 1.0!

This article explains the changes in KiO 10.

Clan Master Cup

The Clan Master Cup is a totally new Clan tournament which is held each saturday at 19:00 CEST. It’s a one-for-all-tournament which means that each clan can participate with ONE team only. The first team of each clan that joins the tournament will represent the clan. The winner’s clan gets the Clan Master Cup (not the team!) and an entry in the new Clan Master Cup hall of fame.

Other Clan Improvements

Clans are important for our game, so there are even more improvements. Clan admins will be able to make other teams new admin directly in the clan management. No more need to send us a message. Also, clans can be deleted using a new item from the shop. So also no need to send us a message, and, even more important, wait until we execute the change.

And there’s more: Whenever a team above level 30 joins a clan, you will see that in the newsticker.

Help and Support

The Wiki will be integrated directly inside the game on the help screen. We are currently working on improvements in the english version, this will propably not completed when KiO 10 is released but somewhat later. Furthermore, the ingame message system will be replaced by an e-mail system.

Improvements for Beginners

We have many more users since a couple of months, and we found that we should make their KiO lives easier. We are going to remove the strength limitation of player transfers and we will change the player offers in the shop.

Fan Clubs

A completely new feature are the Fan Clubs. Your club can have multiple of these, and you get them when you solve special challenges which show up only once on fridays as you play. Fan Clubs increase the number of stadium visitors, or allow you to increase the ticket prices withoug risking lower number of visitors.

Specialist Eraser

There will be an often-demanded new item in the June Season Pack: The Specialist Eraser. This rare item allows you to make a specialist a „normal“ player, and then to make him a different specialist by using the well known specialist training.

Adjustments

We will do some additional adjustments as follows:

• In the simulation, some parameters will be scaled down for low morale (below 5). This means that losing against a team with morale 0 but surprisingly right counter formation will be much rarer. Also the chances to win against a low morale team with same formations (or even the right counterformation) are even higher than before. No changes for high morale greater than 4!
• Payouts will be adjusted in Universe Cup, Galaxy Cup (higher) and Clan Cup (much lower) as they currently do not match the importance of those tournaments.
• The list of highest or worst results will be removed because it heavily downgraded the server performance.

Please note that there will be no new version of the game for Windows. This means that certain features (those which depend on the app) are not supported on Windows, while server-only changes are.

Thanks for supporting us and for playing our game for more than ten years!
