Platinum and Offline Fetching

update main image

Platinum Changes

Almost every single platinum purchase from the shop (cosmetics, tokens, icons) have been made significantly cheaper with an emphasis on primarily allowing you to buy multiple things even with the smallest platinum package.

This change is most noticeable for the expensive items, with cheaper items either being untouched or 100-200 platinum less.

Additionally, platinum buffs have been 10x cheaper. Previously it was 10 plat per minute of buff, now it's 1 minute per plat. The minimum buff length has been increased to an hour (60 plat) to so that people don't just spam 10 minute quick buffs though. The buff upgrade system (the longer the length the higher the strength becomes) is unchanged, so this is overall just making the entire plat buff system massively cheaper and more accessible.

Vacation tokens have been deprecated (still functional, just no longer buyable) because they're finnicky and not explained super well.

Offline Fetching Changes

We've completely overhauled how Offline Fetching (restarting sessions after a server crash or server restart/update) works to be a lot faster and robust.

This essentially boils down to session restarting much faster after a reboot, so there's less weird lag after a reboot and hopefully less instances of sessions not restarting fully.

Catch-up time has been removed since this new system should have people up and running with minimum downtime; this should hopefully fix a lot of issues that will inconsistently pop up whenever there's server lag or connection issues.
