This patch is devoted to minor fixes as well as some tweaks and optimizations that we believe are necessary.
We also want to share that we’ve received a lot of feedback from our players on the Arena feature - we’ve taken the suggestions on board and are working on implementing some of these changes and also some fine-tuning that is needed. One of the features (queue size) is already dropping in this patch! The Global Arena queue and Team Arenas are in development (no ETA at the moment, but we will keep you up-to-date!).
We’ve also added additional logging and debugging into the code, to be better able to track and check a guild’s rating calculation algorithm. We want to make sure that guild ratings are as close to the real value of the guild as possible.
And lastly, we’ve also introduced a rather major optimization to the server side calculations; the results should be quite noticeable in crowded battles! But the fight is not over yet - the process of optimization is a constant and endless process that we’re continually working hard on.
