Changelog

What's next:
Because of the mentioned battle changes above, if everything works out as expected, I'll finally be able to complete what I wanted to finish (and what the players want) for a long time - PvP in AniGame. That'll probably be my next big goal to accomplish.

Support tickets - I'm sorry for the late replies, please PING me in your ticket if you still require assistance. I'll try to finish all of them within a week or two from now. That being said, unfortunately I just don't have the time, effort, and motivation to deal with every single problem in AniGame without developing and improving the game itself.

A list of supported tickets:
-Reports on banning players (evidence has to be very clear and concrete)
-Bugs
-Donation issues
-Appeal requests (will probably be harsher on this and unbanning people less frequently)

Probably some others I forgot to mention too

All player disputes and problems will not be dealt with anymore (e.g, card loaning, borrowing money, etc). Make sure you collect collateral, lend to people you trust, etc to avoid such conflicts.

Thanks to everyone for supporting AniGame. Once I get everything fixed up, I'll be around the community more often to talk to everyone :)

100k gold will be given after update (once it goes well).

New Series:
Well, you guys probably already knew what was happening because I accidentally uploaded some of the data of the cards early 😅 - Shaman King has been added with 1 new skill added.

Talent Fixes:
Forgot to change some talents that I said I buffed in the last update.

Precision 20% -> 23% crit DMG increase
Bloodthirster 15% -> 23% healing increase

Voting Changes:

There's a bit more benefits to voting now. There'll be monthly vote rewards based on how many times you voted in a month!! They'll be collectible cards from RWBY, each spanning 2 month cycles per character, allowing everyone to get a full evo 3 UR for FREE. They'll also start with maxed out levels so it should be much easier to evolve. THE CARDS WILL BE UNTRADEABLE TO PREVENT ABUSE. An image of the rewards will be attached below.

Levels WILL be able to bought with diamonds in the near future (50 diamonds per "vote") for players that wish to support the bot. This just allows them to get the rewards faster - but ultimately everyone will end up getting the same rewards.

@role
First the update - bot will be down anywhere between 20 minutes - 2 hours, to be on the safe side. Unfortunately for the players, this isn't really going to change much in terms of content for AniGame. I had to rewrite a massive part of my code to deal with some infrastructure changes for my discord API library.. and the worst part is, I'll probably need to do this again sometime later (basic gist of it, the original discord.py library owner decided to quit, which means the library has been discontinued so when I see another good python wrapper for discord I'll need to transition to that).

As with all new updates, bugs will probably exist.
A big thank you to the helpers and staffs for testing out the features beforehand; however, there always will be bugs that slip through. As this was a big overhaul for the coding side, the chances of having bugs will be a bit higher. PLEASE notify a staff ASAP, especially if it's something game breaking, it'll be much appreciated.

There's quite a bit of QoL changes.
Reactions have been replaced by buttons. The emotes within the buttons themselves might look a little bit worse right now, but let me know suggestions on what to change it to to make it look better.

Forfeit buttons on certain battles - you can now surrender in the middle of the battle if you feel like you can't win. This will only trigger at the end of the round so you might need to wait a bit until it takes into effect.

Claims have been changed - no need to write in numbers. They'll instead be replaced by claiming buttons. Cards will not be "replaced" in the channel if multiple spawn, they'll all be able to be claimed within a 15 second duration.

Battles now have a confirmation page before battling. This is important - I don't want to get too technical but if it works as intended, this allows the bot to do more work and handle more commands at once.

hi whoops not everythings rdy yet but soon !!

A small fix for daily2 has been applied, and will last another week. daily2 should've been closed awhile back but as it was buggy, all boosters BEFORE yesterday will be able to the command, new boosters will not.

Unfortunately I'm on vacation at the moment, but I've still been working on AniGame; however, I probably wouldn't be able to push the update until I get back home as I don't want to risk having bugs leak as a result of the update as I won't be able to monitor the bot quite as often. I'll be home in a week so update will probably be sometime next week.

Botters/Alters: There are some improved logging to catch them, and I will definitely continue to improve this system so that we can improve the integrity of the players. Unfortunately, it’s things like this that takes away time from allowing me to create more content for AniGame, as I need to manually look through player logs and spend a lot of time digging to verify that a players’ actions are bannable. It’s painfully time consuming, and I’ll probably be a lot less lenient about resets in the future.

I want to also clarify that engaging with alts/botters (holding gold, trading for fodders, etc) is also a bannable offense. Using the excuse “it’s not my alt, it’s my friends” doesn’t make sense - what’s the difference between you having an alt and your “friend” having one if you both benefit from it? If you GENUINELY did not know, and there’s sufficient evidence of that, that’s perfectly fine, but from what I have seen from logs, 99% of the players that are banned claiming to be “innocent” are not. If you do not want to be mistaken for being alongside them, either stay away from those players or report them.

2000g/20 stamina will be added after update.

@role [Please do not vote for 15 minutes before/after the bot is up as it takes some time to load]

Precision (Buff): 20 -> 23% CRIT DMG (+6% UR)
Bloodthirster (Buff): 20 -> 22% Healing Increase (+4% UR)
Recoil (Change/Slight Buff): Recoil cannot be overtaken by other statuses now (e.g, they cannot inflict burn/poison, not even for 1 turn - the sentence still appears though but nothing happens and that is intentional).

I want to clarify that buff/nerfs aren't based on market price - they're mostly based on stats compared to other cards with the same element/talent. For example, some cards are expensive because of the characters and not because of their stats, but they'll still be changed.

Reminders after voting - on default, this would be turned off for older members, turned on for new players. To change your settings, just do .reminder.

Misc/Bug Fixes:
Cl Shop/Daily shop should be consistent now, but I’ll keep an eye on it.

Daily2 is in a weird spot - I’m 99% certain that it has some issues with the command due to caching of boosting users and how my library works, as it works just fine on the test bot. Fortunately or unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be a command that stays for a long time, just a brief reward period so we can retain our vanity tag. I will be leaving it open for a little while longer even though we far surpassed the amount of boosts we needed as it was down for users for quite awhile.

There will be a small balance patch tomorrow, a few new features - including better detection of botters/alters, with some bug fixes.

Raid Event will be taken down during the patch as well, so make sure you have all your fragments redeemed and ready before the update hits.

EVENT IS NOW LIVE!

Get Exclusive Event cards by raiding! It works similarly to the events in the past, but to reiterate for newer players:

-3 Violet Evergarden cards will be available in raids, packs, and drops while the event lasts. Once the event ends, it'll be removed from all of these pools, with a very small chance of getting these cards through .lottery or .rd spawn.

-Using .rd spspawn during the event will always spawn an Event Card. Just like normal spawns, there are 4 difficulties, e/m/h/i, e.g, .rd spspawn h for hard. Note that .rd spspawn and .rd spawn share the same cooldown.

-With every raid that you defeat, you'll receive a summer fragment. Collect 7 of them to redeem a Super Rare Event card with a small chance of it being Ultra Rare using .rd redeem!

-As it is with all events, activity levels often cross the rate limit that Discord sets for bots. Once this happens, the bot gets banned for an hour, and commands cannot be used. To mitigate the chance of this happening, players are stuck with a 2-3 hour raid timeout after completing one. About 50% of the players are faced with this raid timeout when this update releases - this is to stagger the amount of raids happening at once. When the activity levels die down, the raid timeouts will slowly decrease.

Restarting bot to fix some bugs.

Notable Nerf from fix: Unlucky Coin now takes CURRENT HP instead of MAX HP

Level Cap introduced:
TL;DR Ver - Level is now capped at 80 for stamina. There wasn’t a level cap at launch as I didn’t realize how fast stamina would stack and get out of hand, creating a great disparity between passive progression of players.

Long Ver - https://pastebin.com/eGDVhJmr

Bugs/Exploits/Downtimes:
With every update, there’s a chance that a bug leaked through that we didn’t catch. It would be heavily appreciated if they could be reported ASAP. Abusing said bugs can result in bans if serious enough.

There might also be more downtimes for the bot as it receives updates, I hope everyone can understand that.

Once again, thank you to everyone for your patience and I hope I’ll be able to improve AniGame much more.

---------------------------------------------------

AniGame Support Server

AniGame now has a support server that basically allows the admins and staff to answer questions. This helps the AniGame staff away from dealing with AniGame reports in personal DMs. Please take the support server seriously - that means no messing around in there with troll reports, chatting, etc. Keep the server clean and only use it for its intended purpose! Because this is relatively new, please leave any feedback on how it should improve. It might also take some time in the first few days as we get adjusted to this new system, so please be patient.

This also means that unfortunately I will have to close my DMs. It has simply gotten out of control and I don’t have the means to answer every message. The server allows me to answer proper requests instead of dealing with random messages from players, reducing the time spent answering said reports.

New Event - Violet Evergarden

NOTE: THIS EVENT WILL START IN 5 DAYS - THE CARDS WILL BE RELEASED IN PACKS BUT THERE WILL BE NO SPSPAWNS NOR REDEEMS AT THE MOMENT.

This is because I do not want the bot to go over the ratelimit imposed by Discord, when there’s too many active commands going at once. Releasing both raid and new locations would be quite risky so I’ll be staggering the raid release date a bit later.

-------------------------------------------------------
Q+A, timelines and goals for AniGame
Events
Going forward, there will be more interactive and rewarding events; more will be explained once it releases (the current event is the same format as before). I'm kind of excited to test this out as soon as possible and I hope you guys will enjoy it as well.

Skins/Border Art/Gifs?:

Skins - It'll take some time to add them, as I need to find/hire artists to do skins specifically. For the default card art, if the original owner of the artwork contacts me and asks me to remove it, I will do so as soon as I can. However, for skins, removing and replacing the artwork defies the whole purpose of obtaining those skins in the first place - players would purchase skins for the sake of the art itself.

Border Art/Gifs: Not a top priority at the moment as I like to focus on gameplay more, but if heavily requested, I’ll see if I can work on this first. There’s some coding overhaul I have to do if I were to implement these.

New Gameplay Features (e.g, Tower/Dungeons/PvP/Clan Wars?):
I’ve talked about this a couple of times already, but the major issue I’m facing with adding new gameplay features is due to rate limits imposed by Discord. Discord has recently added buttons/slash commands that definitely helps, but unfortunately isn’t fully tested and implemented in my discord library (discord.py). Once they release a stable version, I can heavily start working on new gameplay features.

@role
Thank you all for your patience for updates. As a small token of appreciation, 100,000 Gold has been added to every player (above level 10).

New Cards + Locations
The Quintessential Quintuplets, Bungou Stray Dogs, Psycho Pass, Jujutsu Kaisen, Yu Yu Hakusho are added as locations. 3 new skills have been added.

Happy (Fairy Tail) has been added.

Shop

.buy new legendary pack / .dbuy new legendary pack

There's going to be a new pack added to the shop! It'll exclusively contain only new cards that have been added. This is geared more towards "late game" players and NOT meant to be a replacement value pack for the original Legendary Pack. It'll cost 2.5x more (2x more in dshop) in exchange for only new cards (does NOT include new Event cards).

This means you can buy almost 3x of 1 legendary pack with the price of 1 new legendary pack. This is something that's on trial, so the price will be monitored and modified if necessary.

Holy fragments reduced to 45 per redemption.

.daily2
This command can only be used in the official server (preferably in #channel to not cause distractions) for an additional 1k gold / 20 diamonds every 24 hours, for SERVER BOOSTERS ONLY. This is a small incentive for the server to keep its vanity tag, and will probably be here for a limited time only until Discord finally accepts the partnership server request. Thank you to everyone that boosts the server.

Nerfs/Buffs:

Life Sap (Nerf/Adjustment): 3% -> 2%, and now heals 175% of the damage dealt. Basically at UR, it would be like this:
6% DMG / 6% Heal -> 4% DMG / 7% Heal (2% damage decrease, 1% heal increase)

Soul Stealer (Buff): 3% -> 4%

Bot restarting to make the following changes:

-Stat filter applied to anidex (e.g, .dex -stat atk to show highest to lowest, uhh and there's an annoying message after you use it that'll be removed shortly)
-Raid cd reduced to 0-1 hr
-Hopefully a fix to 1 of the anigame shards not working properly - will still monitor this (this will disable card count for now unfortunately)

Reduced CD to 1-2 hours now, and we'll monitor how it goes (applied on your next raid)

A few minor changes that will be monitored:
-All current raids will be left with a small amount of HP to be finished easily to reduce bot load for now
-3 to 4 hour cd per raid, this will be removed whenever the load is less

If this isn't enough, unfortunately I'll probably have to make more drastic temporary changes, but we'll see as time goes on

Unfortunately due to the influx of players joining in for the event - similar to what happened to when Halloween event was released - Discord ratelimits are being pushed to their boundaries. I'll have to monitor what goes on but hopefully it's enough :/

EDIT: Will need to make some adjustments as theres just way too many command uses atm

Going to fix up Padoru + Gin bug as bot goes down, might take a bit

I'll switch Pandoru into Padoru sometime later 💀

Valentines Event - Gin and Hotaru (from Hotarubi No Mori E)

.val/.valentines for a small reward every 2 hours - with a small chance of getting Gin and Hotaru. Once you’ve used the command once - you’ll get a Valentines badge.

Valentines will also contain another a more exciting 2 day event around Valentines day - don’t miss out on it!

While the event persists, all of the event cards will be obtainable from drops/packs. After the event ends, they’ll be undroppable.

Bug Fixes

Most of them should be fixed. Let me know if any persists in #channel, or any new ones appear with updates.

----------------------
2000g and 2 raid passes will be added to everyone after update.
