Crew Battles were an exciting feature for us to release many months, and in that time we've collected all sorts of data and feedback about the experience. The goal of Battles/Wars is to simulate a real world competition, not unlike a sporting event, where a mixture of skill and luck can win the day, even if you are the underdog. With this goal still in mind, we've made several updates to Battles/Wars to further move towards that goal. There are no longer different types of battles, just "All Around." Points are now scored through a mixture of experience and party sprint-style scoring. The experience battle type was the most popular due to its simplicity, so that is the foundation, but with the excitement/uncertainty of sprints mixed in to take it to the next level. You should now be able to play whatever you enjoy most and still contribute to your team's success.

"Pre-bombing" is now blocked, which means only points from Party Bombs that were dropped after the Battle/War began will count.

Party Bomb points no longer count in the last hour of Battles and the last 3 hours of Wars.

Crews can now only challenge other crews that are 20% smaller than them or larger, rather than a set 5 member difference.

Building doors can now be clicked from any distance, the arrow no longer needs to be visible to enter (the arrow and name card will still show when you get close).

Buildings now highlight when hovering over their door with your mouse.

More updates/improvements to the new player flows.

A few tweaks to the visuals of the janitor job game.

Completely fixed issues with some player avatars not showing (you may have to clear your browser cache if you are still seeing the issue).

Tweak the font size of long crew names in live battle results.
