The Quests Update: A Cold Start was an update to Bconomy released on December 5, 2024.
Changelog
[edit | edit source]A major game update for Bconomy has been released.
Changelog
[edit | edit source]Quests
[edit | edit source]
- 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
[edit | edit source]
- 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
[edit | edit source]
- 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
[edit | edit source]
- 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
[edit | edit source]
- 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
[edit | edit source]
- 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
[edit | edit source]
- Burn rewards have been adjusted for better gameplay pacing
- Weekly Burn rewards have been implemented in addition to Daily rewards
Faction
[edit | edit source]
- Faction maximum Boost drain per second increased to 1,000,000 FP/s (from 800,000 FP/s)
Game Manual
[edit | edit source]
- 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
[edit | edit source]
- 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
