Splinterlands Release Notes

2025-01-07

Winterfest Ends

• Holiday art is once again gone from the site!

Custom Challenges

• A new set of options are now available for challenges. For a small fee of 10 Dark Energy Crystals, or Credits, you can customize the rules and available elements on a challenge. Note: If you own a Runi, or have over 50K Staked SPS, then the fee when issuing custom challenges is waived.

  

Gameplay Updates

• Burning, Fatigue, and Poison effects will now happen to all monsters at the same time.

• Added a button to skip ahead to the next round on the battle replay.

  
• The battle replay speeds can now be set using a detailed speed selection. This option needs to be enabled in the settings.

• Added the ability to play/pause battles using the space bar. A new option controls if this is enabled, as some other extensions use keyboard shortcuts and may conflict.

  

General Updates

• Added additional tooltips for the first time a user earns more than 1,050 Glint or 2,000 Merits.

• Tooltips will no longer display if you are not logged in.

• Added a new setting to disable being invited to guilds.

• Novice League has been renamed to Wood league.

• Challenges and Tournaments no longer use league naming for level caps. A new series of Novice, Adept, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert level cap namings have been put in their place.

  
• The indicator that an Academy Panel has not been read has been made more visible.

• More settings have been removed from the frequently polled data and moved off to separate infrequently called APIs:

  • Tournament prize types have been moved to a tournaments/tournament_prize_types call.

  • Reward chest information has been moved to market/loot_chests.

  • Card set information, mainly about old air drops, has been moved to cards/card_set_info.

• Skip and Mute buttons have been added to opening reward chests and their replays.

• The Regional Production Claim screen will no longer show an option to automatically buy Grain with DEC (at a 1:1 rate) when you have insufficient Grain to harvest. It will now show you a Get More button that links to the Grain-DEC Trade Hub.

• A number of shop/market pages will now show a Get More button if you have insufficent Credits/DEC for your chosen purchase.

• The Exclusive shop page has been updated to show the total amount of Vouchers spent on the current card and all cards.

• The Voucher owned count has been removed from the majority of the shop pages, as they no longer apply to most purchases.

• The New Player Quests section can now be collapsed into a smaller bar.

• Fixed an issue with the avatar and title in the navigation bar not updating immediately on the display when they were changed in the profile options.

• The share battles link on the main battle history has been changed to only require one click to copy the link.

• A confirmation prompt has been added when Surrender is clicked on Brawl battles.

• Fixed the sorting options on the Items → Other page.

• Fixed one outstanding battle notification that had a bad link, and went to the About page instead of the Battle History page.

• Several pages had small adjustments made for smaller Mobile devices to make sure information is legible and critical items appear on the initial display - like the Battle button.

• Made some changes to try to improve the new battle replay performance under certain conditions where it would lag out on certain hardware.
