Welcome to another update.
Some updates today include:
A significant update to the Charts that track team progress. This now uses a formula that will give a more accurate depiction of your form. (which is based on where you end up on the grid and the number and quality of your competitors).
Due to the nature of this new code, it means the charts are all now reset. This data will also soon form part of the computation of skill level.
Which means we will most likely soon see the reintroduction of an Elite skill level to help balance things out at the top.
This will open up some new gameplay options, tracks and features. Some of which will be talked about later in the month.
Bugs & fixes:
- Fixed a bug with Competition ending messages say things like “Competition 3 has ended.”
- Made some changes to the shoutbox to help eliminate lag. This will be introduced over the next few days so that the shoutbox stops using the database.
- Removed unnecessary alert pages when you delete messages. (More may follow over time).
- Fixed a few minor bugs with academies.
- Updates for contracts & sponsorship now only happen at 4am GMT. (there was a way to possibly update some items by just viewing the sponsor page – which may have cause some problems)
- Fixed many minor bugs and reduced some more server load.
- Fixed game blog and changed the news tab to include feed from the game blog. complete with RSS link.
- Fixed some issues with Boacompra payment mode
To clarify some of the questions about Birthday bonuses and Supporter bonuses:
- You get 10% bonus credits per year you since you have registered for the game (up to 4 years).
- Supporters get 15% bonus credits, which is independent (eg. cumulative).
