I missed only 1 day (12 invasions) and still no new 5* either.

Now about PoC, seems nothing really changed for me, still got in my usual 2%. The thing is now instead of continuous rests and climbing from stage 1 everyday, I do some extra tries to pass my cap stage.
And rewards didn't change as much imo:
estimated for 2 weeks, for 0-1% cores - 200 vs 196, candies - 100 vs 98; for 2-10% cores - 160 vs 154, candies - 80 vs 77.
Blueprints income has been cut by half, but that means my oil consumption on PoC now also twice less and i can do all invasions and progress through story maps.

Seems like a good patch for casual players with strong teams, but bad for dedicated players with weaker teams.
