[h1]Rebound v0.71.1 is now live[/h1]
This patch is mostly fixes, quality of life and setting us up for future updates.
We've been a bit preoccupied making sure all our systems could handle the increased player count and provide support in a timely manner. Thank you so much for all your support and just for playing the game. It's so awesome to see so many people enjoying the game!
[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
[h3]Fixes[/h3]
- Fixed an issue in replay state handling that could rarely cause a player to be stuck in replay cam during gameplay
- Tweaked the latency simulator to be more accurate to a real scenario
- Fixed the stick highlight for the Bowie knife
- Fixed saving of the 'simulate last game' setting for non-premium players
- Fixed hovering over the rank tooltip while a scene changed happened causing the tooltip to stay there during gameplay
- Fixed the puck spawn location not working on open obstacle practices
- Fixed some head overriding cosmetics causing other slots to show an invisible head sometimes
- Re-enabled the league and premium showcases
[h3]Quality of Life[/h3]
- Added a mercy rule setting to bot matches (player requested)
- Removed the pond preview button because we moved it to the arena system so our artists can work on it better
--> Yes this means you can access it with the 'arena pond' command but it's still WIP and will be overhauled completely.
- Added links to our Discord and socials on the main menu for easy access
- Changed the icon for party indicators, it's now more clear that it means they're in a party together
- Changed the league section in the esports tab to include a short video to showcase the skill ceiling
- (Dev) Changed how we handle logging to be able to act on issues faster and proactively
[h3]Cosmetics[/h3]
- Added new variants for Turtle Shell, Edge LED (these launch later today)
- Added Fish Head, Father's Day cosmetic (for this Sunday), USA Stick (for 4th of July)
- Added new hairstyles: Top Knot, Afro, Halfie, Slick, Lawyer
[h2]Request for Feedback[/h2]
There's some things we're thinking of adding based on player feedback and we'd love to know if our solutions are what you'd like to see. Let us know if we're heading in the right direction!
[h3]Career[/h3]
Players have been wanting more insight into their rank and when they will promote/demote. To tackle this we came up with a 'career' page that would be accessible from the 'Player' tab, showing you your rank, specific rating and how far you are from promoting/demoting as well as a short history of the matches you have recently played. Is this something you want? Should it contain more/different information?
