Changelog

Web Client

• Introducing Hotkeys! Configure Bconomy to run any game command or navigate to a UI element when a specific key is pressed

A game update for Bconomy has been released.

Changelog

Items

• New method for calculating loot item drops has been implemented, resulting in a 9x+ speedup (!) measured for item drop calculations on benchmarks!
  • An unoptimized algorithm for calculating random item drops that I wrote way back when Items were first introduced (~3 years ago) has been used for Loot Action and Fancy Crate calculations before this point
    • You might notice that Loot Actions, claiming Pet items and opening Crates feels more responsive
      • The new algorithm should resolve situations where players with extremely high multipliers could lock up the entire game for periods of time when they attempted to use Loot Actions
      • I can now look toward re-introducing higher multipliers or adding more Boost sources if this new item drop calculation method proves to be fast enough to support them
  • Item drop distribution for every Action has been altered with the new algorithm (due to changes in how calculations are performed, along some manual adjustments for consistency)
    • Some Items have had their base worth changed slightly
    • Some Items now drop from different Loot Action sources
    • Generated item fetch Quests have been updated to reflect this new item drop distribution (and should be more “accurate to reality” than the previous iteration)
• Bounty items (obtained from attacking Bosses) are now useable

Pets

• Energy required to find an Item decreased to 75 (from 100)

Bosses

• Boss random spawn chance has been increased
