In a few weeks we will come up with a major update of the game, for which we provide some details below. Before that, we would like to apologize for the recent “geomagnetic storms” that have disrupted the championship. There has been actually two different technical causes for this problem. One was a connectivity problem, fixed a few weeks ago by moving a server to a new datacenter. The other was a bug in our code, for which we rushed a fix on saturday. Since saturday, “only” 2 matches had to be cancelled, for which we are still investigating (the server runs thousands of matches every day). We keep monitoring the situation, but we think the main problem should now be behind us.
We have credited all teams with 20 free fast charges to compensate for these problems. The charges are immediately available on your account, all you need is log in and play!
Now a few words on the upcoming update: we do not want to tell too much about it yet, but we would like you to know that you will soon be able to develop new capabilities for your team, allowing you:
To gain more credits from matches
To manufacture fast charges on your own
To manufacture new types of Neurons with specific capabilities
To enhance the capacity of your batteries
To restore more health from boosters
(...)
In a recent quick fix, we have restricted the use of low level batteries and we reduced the capacity of the Br-Ba batteries. This was done mainly to prevent a few players from using auto-playing scripts. While scripting is still technically possible (and will always be), it is now far less productive. Also scripting is prohibited by the NWL and teams using scripts will be subject to arbitrary sanctions to our sole discretion.
We wish you good luck for the championship!
