💥 Company Updates 💥
Tuesday Release Update with Investygator
Daily Focus Re-Focused
We have changed the daily focus reset to be at midnight UTC.
The focus timer is now a fixed period, so if you wait to claim then the countdown for the next day will already be in progress. If you wait until 4 hours after reset, you’ll have 20 hours to earn points towards your next focus rewards.
Resetting a focus no longer resets the timer.
The intent of this change is to remove the advantage automated accounts have in being able to reliably claim rewards immediately at their reset time each day, while human players tend to fall behind and feel unduly pressured to try to be online to claim as soon as their focus expires.
Gameplay Updates
An issue where expired rentals and cancelled delegations would not always disappear from the Team Creation selection has been addressed. This should hopefully cut down on issues where this would cause surrenders due to the team being considered invalid.
The Brawl team selection timer has been extended to a full 3 minutes.
Stunned monsters will only become unstunned on a later round than they were stunned. There were some odd situations with retaliate and Stuns where a Stun could effectively clear during the same round.
Monsters with Life Leech and Dispel will no longer gain life that was removed due to Dispel removing bonus health.
Monsters with Double Strike that die and return to play via Rebirth or Resurrect during their first attack will now skip making a second attack on that turn.
As part of creating a human only league, battle operations submitted on-chain will no longer be processed. Almost no one submits on-chain anymore already, due to issues where your team can potentially be seen in advance.
Tech Modernization
Added the missing Terms of Service link and Copyright information to the footer of the Tech Modernization pages.
Added a warning on purchasing DEC/SPS pages when Transak is selected, that it is not available for all countries - namely the U.S.
General Updates
Fixed an issue with the UI display of estimated reward calculations, where league limits for rating points used in the reward calculations were not being enforced.
Delegated cards now appear as available sooner. Previously, if you were currently doing battles when they were delegated out then there might be some delay before they appeared.
Added the ability to delegate Tokens via delegation authority.
Updated the WAX wallet version we are using to address problems being able to talk to the WAX Cloud wallets.
Fixed an issue with the DEC supply failing to include the amount of DEC held in escrow for rentals.
Gold foil summoners will now have their level and star icon display in gold text on the battle display.
Tokens have been split into active and archived tokens, for tokens we issued that essentially had a limited life span - like Splinterfest tickets (SLFEST_2022_GA) or Halfling Alchemist redemption tokens (ALCHEMIST). Essentially anything that no longer has any in-game purpose has been moved to the archived list. These can still be see by querying a new API players/archived_balances, which behaves the same as players/balances except that it returns these archived tokens. The players/balances API will now only return active tokens.
Updated some Splinter Bites to remove incorrect information.
Updated the public facing API documentation.
Items Hotfixed into the Game Prior to the Release
Fixed an issue with SPS rewards not displaying on the mobile version of the site (shortly after the last update).
Fixed an issue where the Locked icon was incorrectly not enabled for some cards.
Fixed an issue with the market volume not being updated on the metrics data used by some third party sites.
