FYI: Latest Updates - Page 6

Promotions: A bug in the promotions task which prevented players from receiving Reputation gains upon promotion to new Criminal Rating & Explorer Rating levels has been fixed. Any players who were promoted since those new metrics were added have had their Reputation level adjusted for the missed points.

SparBots: The inscrutable SparBot Omega Eta has been activated.

711 · 05-29-2010, 22:32

Academy: Several new expert-level courses are now being offered at the Phiela Academy.

Site: The Immunity time shown at the top of every page (just below the FinalEscape logo) now includes any minutes of default protection time remaining if your last combat defense was within the last 15 minutes.

Example: You get attacked by another player at 09:15. If you then load a game page at 09:20 (i.e. you still have 10 minutes of the 15 minute default attack protection remaining), you will see Immunity: 10 in the top header info area.

Bribes/Treatments: An error in the recent adjustment to prison bribes & experimental hospital treatments resulted in a nearly 100% rate of succes for almost all players, regardless of skill levels.

The chance of success for bribe/treatment attempts is now calculated correctly, factoring in the relevant skills of the player attempting the action. The absolute maximum attainable success rate is now capped at 95%.

711 · 06-16-2010, 23:00

Site: A new chat bar has been added which allows players to easily communicate with one another. The chat bar appears in the footer of all game pages, and also features some handy buttons linked to key game pages.

The chat bar is enabled by default for all players. If you would like to completely disable the chat bar, this can be done on the Preferences page, under the Profile tab.

Players who have been active within the last 15 minutes (and who have not disabled the chat bar) are displayed in the chat bar's Players Online list. Simply click on a player's name to open up a private message window with another player.

The Options button at the far right of the chat bar allows you to set Available/Busy/Invisible status, as well as an optional status message (for example: "On a crime spree in Kelvin's Outpost!"). Be sure to hit the Enter key on your keyboard after typing the desired status message.

Explorer Rating - A bug in the promotions script was causing Explorer Ratings to be calculated incorrectly. To correct this issue, all players temporarily had there Explorer Ratings reset to 1. The promotions task has now promoted everyone to the correct Explorer Rating level. Everyone's Explorer Rating should now be correct.

Note that alerts were disabled during the recalculation process. Thus, if your Explorer Rating ended up being higher than previously, you will not have received an alert about the promotion(s) (but everyone still received the associated Reputation bonuses).
