Well what an exciting 24 hours...
This post is going to cover things in a little more technical manner on things we have been fixing.
1: Rankings (server 500 error)
We know exactly how this happened and our rewriting code to prevent it. However if you see it again before we get the new code rolled out let us know in discord and we can fix it
2: Holybread.io (unavailable)
I was setting up our website to send traffic through Cloudflare and broke the DNS & SSL.
They are both working and holybread.io is working with steem-connect again.
This might be on the list of why do this? Well Cloudflare is going to give us better security/encryption, bot tracking and will allow us to Cache traffic closer to our user base.
Many users want the game to run faster. This is one way for us to monitor traffic and make these changes. In the last 24 hours we had players from over 41 different countries.
3: Recruit Page (new hero's) / Item store
The recruit page was broken for so long players were not even clicking on it. The item store was producing "double items"
This was caused by the random generator coded by the previous game devs was using a single random.seed() that was pulling from the blockchain for the transaction ID as the random.seed
So if items were refreshed on the same block the same items would appear.
@holger80 just built into BEEM a random.seed that has a more advanced version of this, that will prevent this. We are not sure if we are going to use that, but did change our random.seed up to keep these errors from occuring.
EVENTS
The breadcrumb exchange is currently closed! Thank you to all the players who took advantage of this.
Breadcrumbs are off of SE now. As far as we are concerned at this point SE doesn't exist anymore. So don't message us about it.
Now why do I need that bread? Well, we are going to be running an event very very soon with something interesting.
Check out this picture.
Take a good look. As a 1st release of some new content. Our Hero's no longer have static abilities of 5%, 10%, etc...
So you have to ask yourself. My lvl 90 Hero with only 10% more damage is good but what if I can get one with 12% more damage.
During our event the recruit page will update every hour. Yes 1 hour and then new hero's spawn. So if you see someone you like you better get them quick.
After some feedback we are changing the date of the Hero Event to 6/5 - 6/7. This will give players more time to decided if they want to get some more bread.
On that note. If you want to use HIVE to get some bread.
Send HIVE to @simplgame memo: Bread
EVERY 1 hive is 2 bread or 0.5 hive per Bread.
Looking forward to some new hero's with newer abilites showing up in game.
As always "SMASH" the upvote for us! It helps fund our development costs.
