🤝 Tentative Release Notes 🤝

** Subject to change prior to actual release! **

• 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
• Bug Fixes:
  • Updating Thorns, Magic Reflect & Return Fire ruleset names

    • "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

⚡️ 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
