    Rainbow's End

    A bug in the ‘Firework Festival’ Treasure Hunter promotion allowed some players to re-roll prizes indefinitely. Upon investigation, we discovered that there was an increased injection of GP into the game during the period the bug was live (approximately double that seen on a typical day). This is not a significant amount in terms of the overall game economy. You can read the full post here.

  • Fixed an issue with Rainbow's End that prevented players from claiming a 1x multiplier unlock if they already had x7 multiplier unlocked.

    Twitch Prime

    On Tuesday, some players were unable to receive their Twitch Prime rewards. We then applied a hotfix to resolve this which accidentally allowed everyone to receive the rewards - which we then hotfixed. Sorry for the confusion!
