- 0.10.4 - Better Feedbacks, Survey Event - 30 April 2021
In the last few patches, we introduced the reputation system and tried to give players the experience of continued growth by showing change indicators on the top bar. However, we realized that players found the constant rise and fall of reputation stressing and distracting. This, coupled with the lack of proper feedback on exactly what had gone wrong during the player's evaluation of the item, has led only to frustration. This patch tries to fix this issue. First, we improved the way the customer gives feedback to the player so that the player can focus more naturally on the experience in a relaxed manner. The specificity of customer feedbacks will provide players with more straightforward hints on where they can improve, while point in time for the indication of changes in the reputation has been altered to be less distracting and more acceptable. - Release Notes New Features ✨ Custome…
