The league competition is definitely hotting up, with players gaining world rankings already. We had tons of feedback and discussions on the Chaos Reborn forums over the last week, so we have been hard at work fixing a number of bugs and figuring out how to improve the ranked game system. So here are the changes in detail:
- Ranked game settings are now ‘survivors draw’, 2 minute turns, with 20 turns for a two-player game, 23 turns for a three-player game and 26 turns for a four-player game.
- If a 3 or 4 player ranked game is drawn, the surviving players will get a star for each wizard killed.
- There are no longer any restrictions on starting asynch ranked games during a season.
- Fixed a problem with close deployment positions in one of the new 2 player maps. Added a couple of new 2 player maps.
- Fixed a bug that caused a phantom async match request to appear in players' async games list.
- Rank titles are displayed with the rank icon.
- ‘Grand Wizard’ rank is now ‘Mighty Wizard’ rank.
- Fixed a bug that caused subversion to be impossible to cast on creatures in a blob.
- Fixed a bug that caused a riding wizard to be able to move out of a blob if somebody kills his mount.
- Fixed some positional problems with the battle chat control
- Event log no longer displays "Pegasus sacrificed..." message when an adjacent real ally is paralysed.
- Fountain of Life now displays number of uses remaining in info window.
- The pink lollipop trees are fixed.
- Fixed a bug with the user interface scaling incorrectly in battles.
- Fixed a bug causing the server to crash in certain 2v2 games.
- Added icons for leap and sacrifice ability in the creature info screen.
