Hello, players.

Since the unveiling of the Aston Martin collaboration, the third Special Vehicle skins in PUBG, a diverse array of opinions has poured in from players regarding this new addition. We'd like to address some of the key aspects that you've raised, regarding gameplay effects associated with the Aston Martin skins.


1. About the Special Vehicle Skin

The Special Vehicle skin was conceived as a unique type of skin that alters the modeling/form of the vehicle, going beyond the conventional practice of altering textures on existing vehicles.

The first collection of Special Vehicle skins was introduced through the McLaren collaboration in 2022, followed by the Steampunk-themed SUV skin in April of this year. Most recently, the Aston Martin collaboration has brought forth new Special Vehicle skins. When these skins are applied, the existing vehicles - UAZ, Pickup, Zima, and Coupe RB - assume distinct appearances.

In our pursuit of developing Special Vehicle skins, our development team places utmost importance on meticulously preserving the original details. With the transformation of the existing vehicles, our meticulous focus is directed towards encapsulating the unique characteristics of the real vehicles within the Special Vehicle skins. Particularly in the case of collaborations with other brands, our focal point is meticulously integrating the 3D modeling of the actual vehicle to grant players a sensation of owning the virtual representation of the vehicle within the game space. Simultaneously, we made sure that the pre-existing vehicle specifications are maintained even after applying the Special Vehicle skins.

With regard to the Aston Martin skins, our efforts were dedicated to maximizing the intricate details inherent in the original vehicle's design, with a special emphasis on replicating the interior design and mesh components as faithfully as possible. However, in the course of this implementation, certain aspects of the skins exhibited some in-game effects that were not originally intended by us.

In the case of Special Vehicle Skins, the modeling changes can lead to unintended advantages or disadvantages depending on the situation. Our development team is considering and developing the skins with the perspective that it's acceptable to encounter a minor disadvantage, when using a skin. However, we have reviewed the feedback from many players and would like to provide a more detailed explanation regarding the current situation.


2. Regarding Specific Gameplay Effects of Aston Martin Skins

The current discourse within the community revolves around two primary issues:
1) the damage radius of grenades and 2) the obstruction of headshots due to elevated vehicle seats.

1) Addressing Grenade Damage Radius

To comprehensively elucidate the grenade damage radius associated with the Aston Martin skins, it is essential to clarify the prevailing grenade damage structure in PUBG.

When a grenade is hurled in-game, its damage is inflicted upon characters within the grenade's blast radius, with the extent of the damage varying based on distance. If there exists a form of cover, such as a building, within the radius of grenade damage, the design ensures that no damage is inflicted on the side opposite to the point of the throw. This mechanism is devised to consider not only structural components like buildings, but also objects such as iron gates with narrow cracks and vehicles with lower profiles.

The "V12 Vantage Roadster" Sports Car skin, one of the Aston Martin skins currently under scrutiny, was designed as a low-profile vehicle aimed to faithfully mirror the real vehicle model. This inadvertently led to situations where characters do not receive damage from grenades detonated on the opposite side.

Merging the structure of the original content with the new content unfortunately has produced unexpected outcomes. Our development team is currently discussing solutions for these improvements. To address the issue of not taking damage from grenades in certain situations, it may be more necessary to revalidate and modify the grenade damage structure rather than modifying certain vehicles or Special Vehicles Skins. However, if the grenade damage structure is modified, it could significantly influence the overall grenade gameplay experience that players are used to. Therefore, due to the need for extensive discussions and verification steps, we hope you understand that we cannot immediately promise a fix.

2) Headshot Obstruction Due to Elevated Vehicle Seats

The issue surrounding Aston Martin's "elevated vehicle seats obstructing headshots", which has garnered substantial feedback, also stems from the faithful integration of one of the distinctive features of the original Aston Martin vehicles – the elevated vehicle seats. In PUBG, vehicles adhere to a system where damage assessment is contingent on their visual attributes. This principle equally applies to Special Vehicle skins with altered modeling. As a result, the elevated vehicle seats (specifically the headrest portion) of the Aston martin skins happened to become a barrier against incoming hits to the head.

While the consistent application of these rules to all vehicles initially seemed unproblematic, this inadvertently rendered the head – a crucial vulnerability in PUBG – impervious to damage.

After deliberate consideration of player feedback, our development team arrived at a decision to amend the Aston Martin skins, enabling headshots to penetrate the headrest portion of vehicle seats in the forthcoming #25.1 live server update.

This modification is achieved while retaining the visual integrity of the original Aston Martin vehicles, thereby eliminating the need for additional modeling adjustments. To elaborate further, this modification enables penetration of the headrest portion, distinguishing it from other vehicles. Admittedly, this deviation from the established PUBG norms might appear visually unconventional, yet this choice was prompted by a belief in the paramount importance of mitigating the advantages arising from the skin's application.


3. Conclusion

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for sharing your invaluable insights concerning the Aston Martin Special Vehicle skins. We warmly encourage you to sustain your interest and active involvement on the test server, as we remain committed to diligently assessing and integrating your feedback.

While we pledged to enhance our communication methods, we acknowledge that there are still aspects that require attention. This experience has spurred us to explore more effective means of engagement than our current approach. Your unwavering affection for PUBG does not go unnoticed, and we sincerely request your continued enthusiasm and support as we continue on this journey together.

Thank you.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Team

Hello players,

Today, we are here to reach out and connect with our global community of fans to address certain aspects of the recently released Update 25.1 and the feedback you have shared. Further, we wish to propose a new initiative that will weave your invaluable feedback and suggestions into the game development process.

In Patch Notes - Update 25.1, we presented Dragunov, an innovative firearm featuring a unique probabilistic damage system. Following this announcement, we've monitored your responses and carefully analyzed the Test Server data. Considering your feedback and the concerns brought to light, we've made the decision to suspend the release of Dragunov on the Live Server.

Our primary motive behind introducing Dragunov was to enrich gameplay variety and add an element of delightful unpredictability. However, we wholeheartedly recognize that our players are the ones who must adapt to these updates, and that such modifications can substantially alter the core gameplay that we collectively treasure. Furthermore, we acknowledge that the probabilistic damage system introduced by Dragunov creates variables beyond players' control, possibly deviating from the intended gameplay experience.

Not only that, your comments on the performance of the AUG, as conveyed in our recent Dev Letter, have been noted.

We concur there's room for more immediate player engagement beyond our conventional approach to updates - announcements, community monitoring, and feedback collection - as we agree that each update could potentially profoundly influence gameplay experience.

Thus, with all these in mind, we are ready to go beyond our internal dialogues and testing processes by integrating your feedback directly into our development process. We aim to establish a more thorough player validation and feedback mechanism during content creation and rollout.

In accordance with our commitment to nurturing a more intimate connection with our community, we're preparing to launch a survey concerning modifications to Dragunov and AUG.

Let us know your perspectives regarding the Dragunov and AUG.
- https://surveymonkey.com/r/FQJM5BK?lang=en
- UTC: August 8, 7 AM ~ August 15, 2:59 PM

Today, we are introducing this proposal as an innovative approach to foster a more engaged relationship with our community. Our goal is to move beyond conventional update surveys and to delve deeper into your thoughts and ideas, fostering an exchange that we can translate into tangible improvements within the game - our initial step will be to gather feedback on specific aspects of gunplay, and subsequently, announce the results through a more direct communication method and apply these changes to the game.

We acknowledge that not all of our players will be able to participate in this survey. However, we assure you that we will continue to closely monitor global communities beyond the survey, with an aim to ensure that every player's voice is heard.

This is our initial venture into such a method of communication, and while there may be room for improvements, we are optimistic that if this initiative proves to be beneficial for our game environment and community, we will actively incorporate this communication approach for future updates.

Thank you.

Introducing the world's first designated marksman rifle, the Dragunov, to PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, complete with its potent, lethal firepower. This new addition to the arsenal utilizes 7.62mm ammunition and is recognized for its potential to inflict high damage akin to a sniper rifle. With a bit of luck, you can take down an enemy in a single shot, adding a thrilling element of unpredictability to both Solo and Squad encounters. However, the Dragunov is not without its challenges: its hefty recoil and slower firing rate require a steady hand and quick reflexes. If you're a player confident in your ability to master these traits, we highly recommend stepping up to the challenge!

Dev's Comment: Greetings, players! We're excited to officially unveil the Dragunov, as recently previewed in our last Dev Letter. In general terms, the Dragunov boasts performance akin to other designated marksman rifles but has been uniquely engineered to deliver potentially high damage at a given probability, but also presenting risks in terms of recoil and firing rate, commensurate with its potential for high damage output.

Our dev team aspires to break away from updating with similar weapons, and instead, introduce weaponry embodying unique concepts to foster distinct gameplay experiences. We are hopeful that the Dragunov, with its new position in the weaponry arsenal, will offer an exciting, fresh dynamic for our players.

As we are introducing a novel system that expands on the existing mechanics of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, we will be intensively monitoring both community feedback and vital gameplay statistics. Your thoughts and comments are not only welcome but crucial to us. Through these kinds of innovations, we aim to go beyond basic game balancing - our goal is to stimulate a rich tapestry of scenarios, augment the thrill of strategic gameplay, and establish a dynamic environment where our players can continuously evolve and improve their skills. The Dragunov, readily available as a world spawn weapon, is something we hope all players will have the opportunity to experience. We aspire for it to become a versatile and impactful choice across the board, in both Normal Matches and Ranked. We invite you to encounter the Dragunov in our Test Server today!

Experience unparalleled sophistication with the three exclusive Aston Martin special vehicle skins, which promise to elevate your in-game and out-of-game experience to a level of luxury that only Aston Martin can provide!

- An exclusive Aston Martin container is available in the starting areas of the Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi, Taego, and Deston.
- The container can only be unlocked by players who own the Aston Martin skin.
ㅤㅤ- If multiple Aston Martin skins are concurrently equipped, the system will randomly select one to display.
- Only the player who unlocks the container and their teammates can operate or ride in the Aston Martin vehicle.
- This feature can be utilized from the start of the match until players board the plane; once they do, the previously positioned container and the Aston Martin vehicle will disappear.
- Available in Normal Match, Ranked, Casual Mode, and Custom Match - Normal Match.
- The Aston Martin containers are available to use for two months.

- Customize - Vehicle - Special Skins - Edit Skin
ㅤㅤ- Even after the conclusion of the sales/rewards period, items unacquired will remain visible, distinguished by a lock icon.
- Stay tuned for an array of exciting updates related to our collaboration with Aston Martin! Be sure to check out the Aston Martin announcement to learn how you can obtain the exquisite Aston Martin skins, explore the new Crafter Pass: Aston Martin, navigate the fresh Aston Martin Crafting page at the Workshop, participate in events, and much more!

※ The following updates apply to every mode.
- Partona

- A lively hustle and bustle of markets and plazas, Partona is a circular village alive with a festival that harmoniously blends indigenous practices and traditions.
- Partona replaces the previous area, Los Higos.
- Added a new style of house sets.
- Dev's comment: Partona has been meticulously crafted to offer a looting efficiency similar to that of Los Higos. To provide a seamless navigation process for players, a bridge has also been constructed for easier access from the southern island.

- Resort

- Conceptualized from an abandoned retreat, the Resort is majestically perched on a hill overlooking the sweeping southern seascape.
- Adjusted the locations of house sets and roadways.
- Dev's comment: The previous terrain, densely filled with housing sets, offered suboptimal looting efficiency and the rough fields posed a challenging landscape for players, particularly when the Blue Zone shifted to this area. To enhance gameplay, we've removed the paddy fields, transforming the space into the Resort - a thrilling new locale for looting.

- Truck Stop

- An oasis for trucks laden with materials to take a much-needed break.
- The Truck Stop replaces the previous Junkyard area.
- The redesigned layout includes a main road, secondary roads, and rustic dirt paths for improved navigation and engagement.
- Improvements have been made to the surrounding terrain.
- Dev's comment: The Truck Stop introduces a unique visual theme and emphasizes a distinctive battle experience. With the integration of these new elements, we aspire to facilitate a different combat dynamic, distinguishing it from the other Miramar areas.


Presenting a vigorous wind of sand that traverses across the desert-like map - the Sandstorm. The Sandstorm...
- replaces Miramar's existing Red Zone.
- gradually depletes the health of players inside, regardless of their location - be it within a vehicle or inside a building.
- obstructs visibility to a certain extent.
- slightly slows down movement speed.
- extinguishes Smoke Grenades and Molotovs.
- generates static electricity due to the intense friction from the swirling sands, rendering electronic equipment such as Jammer Packs, Drones, Spotter Scopes, Blue Chip Towers, and Blue Chip Transmitters inoperable.
- subsides after some time.
- does not form over the sea.
- displays a warning message during the match and its activated area UI on the world map.



Introducing the new Zipline, enabling fluid navigation across various locations.
- Every Zipline is equipped with two ropes.
- Ziplines can be used using the Interaction key.
- You can then embark with the forward direction key.
- Ziplines allow straight-line movement only; reverse traversal is not an option.
- Multiple players can use the Zipline simultaneously, but simultaneous boarding per rope is not possible prior to departure.
ㅤㅤ- When players share the same starting point of a single rope, players can use the Zipline sequentially, following the departure of the preceding player.
- Once players reach the opposite side, they are automatically unhooked from the Zipline.
- Mid-journey release can be initiated by hitting the Interaction key again, leading to a fall.
- In case of a fall, players can deploy their Utility Parachute depending on the fall's height.
- SMGs or Handguns can be used while riding the Zipline, but reloading is disabled.
- Ziplines are marked on the map.

Dev's Comment: With the introduction of Ziplines, players can strategically navigate through the islands and various ridges of Miramar at a brisk pace. Difficult-to-access spots, like enemy-guarded areas, can be breached swiftly and stealthily via Ziplines. The feature not only adds an exciting layer to combat dynamics but also aims to mitigate the challenging terrain of Miramar.


- Alcantara
ㅤㅤ- Removed the Trailer Park and Ruins, and in its place, repositioned Alcantara to be slightly closer to the heart of the map.
ㅤㅤ- Removed main roads that meandered around the outskirts.
ㅤㅤ- Inserted a main road coursing through the town.
ㅤㅤ- Tidied up nearby terrain and roads.
ㅤㅤ- Placed new buildings and removed certain others in the vicinity of the newly positioned Alcantara.
ㅤㅤ- Dev's comment: By moving Alcantara closer to the center of the map, our goal is to retain its original charm while increasing its efficiency, and making it a more appealing location for players.
- Brick Yard
ㅤㅤ- The area formerly known as Ladrillera has been rebranded as the Brick Yard.
ㅤㅤ- This area holds the concept of a brick production site that caters to the brick usage in Miramar.
ㅤㅤ- Revamped the entire layout, introducing new structures and looting spots.
ㅤㅤ- The surrounding landscape has been enhanced for better accessibility.
ㅤㅤ- Dev's comment: Despite its unique theme, Ladrillera wasn't utilized as a looting spot as much as we hoped. We have therefore enhanced its looting capabilities and reinforced its brick factory artistic concept.
- Campo Militar
ㅤㅤ- Removed Torre Ahumada, and in its place, repositioned Campo Militar.
ㅤㅤ- Improved the general layout.
ㅤㅤ- A shooting range and additional roads have been added.
ㅤㅤ- The terrain has been modified.
ㅤㅤ- The former location of Campo Militar now features house sets.
ㅤㅤ- Dev's comment: By removing certain less favored areas from the outskirts, and maintaining the original Campo Militar concept while moving it nearer to the map's center, we're striving to make it more accessible for players.
- Cantera
ㅤㅤ- Transformed the artistic concept of Cantera, reimagining it as a facility that processes, stores, and manages resources required for the construction of other buildings and factories.
ㅤㅤ- The entire layout has been reconfigured and the terrain enhanced.
ㅤㅤ- Dev's comment: We removed the current concept of ruined buildings used in La Bendita, and replaced it with a new concept featuring warehouses that promise efficient looting.

ㅤㅤ- Certain objects have been modified or removed.

- Pecado
ㅤㅤ- The surrounding terrain has been improved.
ㅤㅤ- Dev's comment: The firing range from atop the cliff has been limited. Skillful use of cover below now makes it harder to fire from the cliff's edge. The environment now resembles a valley, offering sufficient cover for players and their vehicles.
- Power Grid
ㅤㅤ- Cliffs have been added and certain current ones removed.
ㅤㅤ- The size of cliffs has been adjusted.
ㅤㅤ- Dirt roads and more cover have been added.

ㅤㅤ- Surrounding cliffs have been removed and the terrain modified.
ㅤㅤ- Roads have been added.
ㅤㅤ- The former location of the Prison now features a set of houses.
ㅤㅤ- Dev's comment: The previous location of the Prison was situated on the peripheral parts of the island, rarely attracting players for initial looting. To address this, we removed Minas del Sur and redesigned the Prison, now nestled within a natural enclosure of ridges.
- Water Treatment
ㅤㅤ- Loot-rich buildings have been placed.
ㅤㅤ- The general layout, surrounding terrain, and cliffs have been improved.
ㅤㅤ- Entrance routes have been tidied up.

ㅤㅤ- The positioning of house sets has been modified, with more being added.
ㅤㅤ- Surrounding cliffs have been improved for easier access.

- Certain fences have been removed, and others replaced with more fitting designs.

Dev's comment: In our latest update for Miramar, our primary focus has been on fine-tuning and enhancing existing features, rather than implementing a large-scale overhaul.

Historically, Miramar presented players with numerous challenges: navigating difficult terrain, engaging in complex ridge combat, and strategizing around challenging landscapes. With this update, our aim is to diversify the gameplay experience by introducing various visual enhancements and incorporating new content. All the while, we've made every effort to maintain the core elements that define Miramar's unique gameplay.

We have worked to improve the Miramar terrain, merging a wider range of strategic routes to alleviate difficulties related to player movement, all while preserving Miramar's hardcore ethos. In our first step towards this goal, we have simplified or entirely removed certain areas of the map that were underutilized or somewhat isolated, thereby streamlining the gameplay for our players.

For this update, we have meticulously reworked elements of the map that were inconsistent with accumulated gameplay data and player feedback. Our aim is to broaden the spectrum of possibilities for players within the visually enhanced map environment.

We hope that, through these changes, we can increase the variety of viable looting spots available to players during the initial phases. In turn, this should enrich both movement patterns and strategic decision-making within the game. Our ongoing mission is to continue enhancing the game, maintaining balanced map environments and fostering gameplay diversity. Our goal is to refresh established patterns and ensure that Miramar becomes an even more engaging and accessible map for all players.

- The Emergency Pickup plane is replaced by a helicopter.
- Sound effects adjusted accordingly.
- The helicopter's flight altitude has been reduced.

Dev's comment: We've been closely tracking your comments regarding the Emergency Pickup, including concerns about the plane's altitude making it difficult to spot, the confusion caused by the similar sound effects it shares with Care Packages, and its frequent drop-offs to inaccessible areas. To address these issues, we have implemented balance modifications to the Emergency Pickup.
- The zeroing adjustment feature, which was previously accessible only on the 8x and 15x Scopes, is now available on the 6x Scope as well.
- Zeroing adjustment: 100m~500m.

※ The following updates apply to Custom Match - Team Deathmatch as well.

- New Map: Boardwalkㅤㅤ- Introducing Boardwalk, our latest map exclusively designed for Team Deathmatch! Designed to promote diverse combat opportunities, Boardwalk caters to an array of gunplay styles. Players will encounter a complex network of intersecting routes, bridging varied locations such as the Beach, Parking Lot, Plaza, Midway, and more. Explore, adapt, and conquer your enemies on Boardwalk!
ㅤㅤ- Certain areas, including most rooftops and higher up areas, are inaccessible.

- The Campo Militar map, subject to significant modifications in line with the Miramar update, has been removed.
- The probabilities for map selection have been readjusted.

- FPP mode has been added.
ㅤㅤ- TPP mode has been removed.

Dev's comment: Following the initial release of Intense Battle Royale, we've observed its widespread popularity among our fans, and at the same time, also noted a steady stream of feedback expressing a desire for the availability of FPP mode, with many opinions voicing that the pulsating late-game scenarios inherent to the Intense Battle Royale experience could be more immersive if experienced through FPP. Acknowledging this, we've shifted the gameplay perspective from TPP to FPP.

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the gaming experience, we've been exploring various improvements up to this point, such as the addition of new areas, and believe this change can further elevate the immersive qualities of Intense Battle Royale.

While TPP has been phased out of live matches, players can still enjoy TPP in Custom Matches!
- In accordance with the Miramar update, the previous version of the Miramar map has been removed.
ㅤㅤ- Team Deathmatch - Campo Militar
ㅤㅤ- War Mode - Default Settings, Abandoned Village, Bomb Kit (Dodgebomb), VSS Kit, Overpower Kit (Desert Knights), Sniper Kit (One Shot One Kill)
ㅤㅤ- War Mode: Conquest - Default Settings
- Sosnovka Military Base has been removed from Team Deathmatch.


- A new Team Suggest feature has been added.
- Focuses on recommending online players from a pool of your PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS friends, affiliated Clan members, and 30 players you've recently played with through the lobby UI.
- There is a priority in player suggestion:
ㅤㅤ- Players who have played more than five matches with you as a team are suggested as first priority. Among these players, suggestions are made based on the number of matches played, and in the case of a tie, recent matches are prioritized.
ㅤㅤ- Players who have played between 1 to 4 matches with you as a team are suggested as the second priority, with a preference for recent matches.
ㅤㅤ- After the above priorities are considered, if there are still open slots, logged-in friends or Clan members are suggested in the order of their most recent login.
ㅤㅤ- In the event of completely identical priorities, a random recommendation will be made.
- You can do the following actions depending on your current status:
ㅤㅤ- If you are alone in the lobby:
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ- If the suggested player is your friend/Clan member and alone in the lobby, they can join your party (You can invite if joining is not permitted).
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ- If the suggested player is your friend/Clan member and part of a team or currently playing, they can join.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ- If the suggested player is not your friend/Clan member and alone in the lobby, they can be invited.
ㅤㅤ- If you are in the lobby as part of a team:
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ- If the suggested player is your friend/Clan member/etc. and alone in the lobby, they can be invited.
- Up to 3 players can be suggested. When an action is taken, the players with the next priority are displayed sequentially. If all suggested players have been actioned and are no longer on the list, no more players will remain on the list.
- However, there may be instances when a player may be suggested for team play but may not be able to join due to certain conditions.
ㅤㅤ- For example, when the status of a player who has been proposed does not meet the required conditions before a lobby restart (switching between Normal Match and Ranked, re-entering the lobby after accessing the Social page, or restarting the lobby via settings), a system error message will be displayed.

Dev's Comment: We've identified a need for a system that continuously suggests potential team members. In response to this requirement, we're introducing the Team Suggest feature that recommends familiar players to those who show a preference for team play. We're hopeful that this initiative will incentivize the formation of teams and heighten the enjoyment of matches with suggested players!
- The Team Up feature has been removed.
ㅤㅤ- Every in-game and out-game UI has been removed.

Dev's Comment: The Team Up feature was developed to facilitate immediate team formation among players who found synergy with randomly encountered teammates. However, not all team members finish the match simultaneously, as they might be engaged in other activities such as watching their Death Cam or spectating. This circumstance necessitated the consideration of numerous exceptional cases when forming teams, subsequently complicating the development and maintenance of fundamental team features.

Furthermore, the Team Up feature has been found to be seldomly utilized by our players. While it has potential value for a subset of our player base, the high maintenance cost combined with the introduction of the new Team Suggest feature have led to our decision to discontinue this feature.

Although we acknowledge the Team Suggest feature can't completely replace all functionalities of Team Up, it provides a variety of viable alternatives, as players can now transparently monitor the status of other players in the lobby and dispatch invites or friend requests. Additionally, the forthcoming Team Suggest feature will further assist in addressing a shortage of team members.

- Clan Tags are now visible in the following in-game areas as well:
ㅤㅤ- Blue Chip and Blue Chip interaction UI
ㅤㅤ- Drone interaction UI
ㅤㅤ- Training Mode - 1v1 Arena - round start, match results screen
ㅤㅤ- Team Deathmatch - scoreboard, match results screen
ㅤㅤ- Bluebomb Rush - scoreboard, match results screen
ㅤㅤ- (PC) Replay - Highlight View and Highlight View interaction key
ㅤㅤ- (Console) Team list on the bottom left of the screen

- You can now recognize the distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters - therefore, you'll now be able to modify the capitalization of your Clan Name using the Clan Name Change.

- If you are kicked from a Clan, the duration of the cooldown period for rejoining or forming a new Clan will be communicated via the Notification Center.
