Game Update

A game update for Bconomy has been released.

Changelog

Specials

  • Specials are a brand new asset class in the world of Bconomy!
    • Unlike Items, each Special is represented as an individual entity internally
    • As a result, Specials are unstackable, as each can contain unique attributes
    • The introduction of the Specials system will play a big role in the uniqueness of Bconomy gameplay in future updates – for ex. being able to add enchants to gear & weapons, finding truly unique loot, and getting seasonal Special rewards that can’t be obtained once an event ends
    • Specials currently can’t be sold or transferred to other users
  • Calibrated, Arbitrary, and Mercurial Amplifiers
    • These Specials broadcast a global Action Boost for all online players!
    • Each Amplifier type has specific properties that affect the way it functions in-game
    • Amplifier multipliers can stack if more than one is active at once for a certain Action
    • Can be obtained from daily Burn leaderboard rewards (see below)
  • Noetic Pulsator
    • A Special that resets all Action cooldowns fully for all players when activated!
    • A global cooldown of 5 minutes is incurred before another Pulsator can be used
    • Can be obtained from daily Burn leaderboard rewards (see below)

Items

  • Lunar Shard can now be used to unlock a Rare Item, consuming the Shard in the process
    • Rare Item roll probabilities are weighted by the rare item’s base cost

Burn

  • Burn Rewards: Earn Rare Loot and Specials by burning the most BC per day!
    • Eligibility for who wins each Burn reward is displayed on both Web Client and Discord Bot
      • Some rewards are guaranteed for those in certain leaderboard positions, while some are distributed randomly!
    • Specials earned through daily Burn rewards have an expiration time of 7 days

  • Action Boosts (Global Random Events) have been removed
    • Functionally replaced by Amplifier specials
  • High Personal Boost activation probability has been decreased

Other

  • Game Log now tracks Burn Reward distribution, Egg create/abandon/transfer/locate/hatch, Pet transfer/release, and Special use

  • Leaderboards on Web Client and Discord Bot now use monospace fonts when applicable for readability
