Editing The Quests Update: A Cold Start (section)

=== Changelog ===

==== Quests ====

* Another long-awaited Bconomy feature revamp has arrived with the Quests rework and (re-) introduction of Seasons!
** Seasons are in-game events that persist for several months, accompanied by themed limited-time loot, event-related gameplay changes and UI decor
** The Winter 2024 Season – “A Cold Start” – has begun as soon as this update changelog is published! Log in and check it out!
* Quests now come in sets – each Quest in a set must be fully completed before rewards can be claimed
** Quests no longer require a cooldown for rerolling, and more quests are available to complete immediately once you claim rewards for a set
** Progress through each Season by successfully completing Quests to increase your Quest Level!
** Higher Quest Levels improve the Item, Special and Trophy rewards you receive for submitting each set of quests, but Quest difficulty will increase with Quest Level as well
** Quest Level is now displayed on your Profile and is tracked on the Quest leaderboard
** Quest rewards for each Level are displayed on the in-game interface
* Veteran players will remember Campaigns, a similar, previous gameplay element that Seasons aims to serve as the spiritual successor to. I hope Seasons brings back the excitement of a limited time in-game event while building on that system with improvements!

==== Titles ====

* Each player can now set a fixed Title independent of their current Rank
** Players can use any Rank Title they have previously achieved
* Trophies have been reworked so that each in-game Trophy now has a Title associated with it
** Once a Trophy has been achieved, you can use that Trophy as your in-game Title for bragging rights!
** Trophies can no longer be displayed on the “Triumphs” section of your profile
** Some Legacy trophies were not migrated to the new system and have been removed
* Several Rank Title names have been changed to be more gender-neutral
** “Prefer Feminine Title” setting has been removed in favor of unified, gender-neutral Rank titles

==== Pets ====

* Buddy contribution to current Action multiplier decreased to +0.01x per 5 levels (from 4 levels)
* Significant improvements to Pets overview on Web Client

==== Items ====

* New: Eternal Snowflake
** A seasonal Item that, on use, resets all Action cooldowns fully! 10 minutes must pass before this item can be used again
* New: DX Coolant
** A seasonal Item that prevents Generator overheat when applied! As Generator overclocking is still in development, this item can’t actually be used for now
* Removed: Hearty Loaf, Seasoned Potato

==== Actions ====

* Each Tool level now grants +0.10x multiplier (from +0.15x)
* Random Personal Boost durations are now 5min for low, 15min for high boosts
* Random Personal Boost hit rates have been increased significantly

==== Specials ====

* New: Forbidden Modifier
** A cursed Special that allow you to permanently add a Level to a Tool of your choice, even if it would surpass that Tool’s normal leveling limit
* All Global Action Boost-bearing Amplifiers now grant a 5x Action Boost on use (from 3x)
* Only 1 Calibrated Amplifier or 2 Calibrated or Arbitrary Amplifiers can be active at once for an action
* Removed: Mercurial Amplifier

==== Burn ====

* Burn rewards have been adjusted for better gameplay pacing
* Weekly Burn rewards have been implemented in addition to Daily rewards

==== Faction ====

* Faction maximum Boost drain per second increased to 1,000,000 FP/s (from 800,000 FP/s)

==== Game Manual ====

* The Game Manual is a new resource players can reference directly from within the Web Client (and coming soon to Discord Bot)
** As a successor to the classic “bhelp” menu, it aims to provide detailed explanations for Bconomy game mechanics, straight from the developer’s mouth
*** This should serve as a helpful quick start guide for new players, while also including verified, more detailed information even veterans will appreciate
** The actual content within the Game Manual is pretty sparse at the moment but I will be writing more entries between updates
*** Feedback and revision suggestions are appreciated!

==== Other ====

* Ball Pit is now drawn at 00:30 of every hour to prevent issues with not being drawn due to database operation conflicts
** Some leaderboard resets may be staggered to prevent similar issues as well
