🤝 Tentative Release Notes 🤝
- Tech Modernization:
- Second attempt at rolling this out
- Last week's release found some issues in the Production environment
- Team fixed these Production issues and are looking to roll these changes out again
- Changes being applied mainly affect the following pages
- Registration Page
- Affiliate Program Page
- Login Page
- Settings Page
- Profile Page
- Request Keys Page
- Currency Activity Page
- Second attempt at rolling this out
- Bug Fixes:
- Updating Thorns, Magic Reflect & Return Fire ruleset names
- "Thorns" --> "Briar Patch"
- "Magic Reflect" --> "Counterspell"
- "Return Fire" --> "Fire & Regret"
- New rulesets (Thorns, Magic Reflect & Return Fire) not showing ability bubble in battle
- These bubbles indicate that the ruleset is adding the ability to each card
- Adding a hard cap of 100 Rounds before the battle resolves into a Draw automatically
- There were rare occasions where two teams could out-heal the Fatigue damage
- System did not properly handle this before and would result in the next two battles auto-surrendering
- Transak is fixed and should be able to support new transactions/swaps
- Updating Thorns, Magic Reflect & Return Fire ruleset names
- Big Features:

- Kain Hace Riftwatchers First Legendary Airdrop

⚡️ Q&A Summary ⚡️
Guild Store:
- Team plans on introducing new items into the Guild Store soon
Rating System:
- Team would like to revisit the Rating System and how it currently functions
- The team hears the complaints from the community and will address them as soon as time allows!
Botting:
- Bot services are starting to get their hands into Tournametns and Brawls
- From the team perspective, it is very difficult to determine what is a bot account
- Some people use bots to analyze the rulesets and mana caps to determine the best lineup and submit the lineup automatically
- Some people use bots to generate the best lineup and then the player submits manually
- This problem of allowing bots in Tournaments & Brawls is not as simple as allowing vs not allowing bots
- Ideally, the team wants to remain decentralized and not gatekeep what account can play and what account can't play
- The team wants to build an environment where bots are allowed, but they just don't have an advantage over actual players
Splinterlands Business:
- Splinterlands is growing in the bear market
- Market obviously impacts revenue overall, but Splinterlands remains strong
- There should be no concerns with company revenue and if it will impact the team's development roadmap
Land Workers:
- The same Reward Point bonuses that are applied during Ranked Rewards will more than likely apply to the Land Worker bonuses as well
- Gold Foil
- Alpha/Beta
- Promo
