Words from Wizards/Tuesday Release Update: InvestyGator

Market Listing Fees & Expiration

Market items will now expire after 30 days. For rentals, they will only expire if they are not rented out for a period of 30 days.
Listing a card for sale or rent will now cost a 1 DEC or Credit fee. Changing the price on a market item will also incur this same fee.
- Sets of items will only cost 1 DEC or Credit to list or update.
- Listing or updating multiple items will cost 1 DEC or Credit per market entry being updated.

For third party developers, any operations to list items for sale or update prices will need to include a “list_fee_token” and “list_fee” value. The list_fee should be a numeric value that is the number of market items being impacted, while the list fee token should be “DEC” or “CREDITS” respectively.

Tech Modernization

Fixed an issue on mobile devices where you could not drag and drop packs to open them on the Mana Well.
Fixed an issue where a link to External Wallets was available for free-to-play, non-Hive, accounts.

General Updates

Fixed an issue where the Season Rental days would incorrectly round down the number of days remaining if there was less than 12 hours left in a day. It will now always round up the calculated days until end of season.
Added functionality to distribute Chaos Legion packs from a secondary account when the store is sold out, to meet the passed Proposal where we pulled some packs from the store to continue having a reward supply.
When packs run out, if a Pack would have been awarded and none are available, it will now use reward card(s) instead of a DEC amount as previous releases.
Fixed an issue where the Divine Shield icon would not display immediately after a monster with that ability was resurrected.
Fixed the display of the renter name on the card info:
Important Note for Third Party developers: typing validation was added to most Market transactions. Where previously we would often accept a string of “100” as a numeric 100 for say a price, it will now instead reject the transaction as being invalid.

Items Hotfixed into the Game Prior to the Release

Fixed “rental_type” not showing up on the market\active_rentals API results.
Fixed an issue with updating the price causing issues with rentals, by incorrectly clearing the “rental_type” value from our cached market data.
Added filtering by “rental_type” to the market\for_rent_by_card API.
Fixed an issue with the SPS reward calculation for accounts that had never claimed before.
Fixed some issues with Mana Well display at certain screen resolutions.
Fixed the link on Mana Well for Gladiator packs, so it properly directs you to the Guild store.
Fixed an incorrect link of where to purchase Dice packs on the Hive Engine market.
