👋 Hey all! As many of you might know, CryptoFights has hit a sudden and unprecedented surge in popularity in the last few weeks, and we've managed to set new records for the highest amount of transactions on-chain. We can only thank you, the players, for helping us achieve all this! 🎉
The downside to this was that our servers couldn't accommodate all of the new traffic, and many players wanting to log in and experience the game were left high and dry.
We shifted all our focus on coming up with an elegant solution for the issues many of you experienced as a result of this giant traffic increase, and the result is our new in-game functionality called the
Smart Queueing System
Some of you might already know what a login queue is - You start the game, type in your username and password, click "log in" and then you see: "Login Queue, position: x" - we've implemented the same mechanic for CryptoFights.
How it Works:
The new queue system works on a 'first come, first serve' basis - After updating to the newest version of the game, upon logging in you will now see a queue number if the maximum amount of concurrent players has been reached. This number will keep going down as your position in the virtual queue updates, and as soon as it reaches 0, you'll be let in!
Once you've reached the top of the queue, you don't need to take any additional action - the game will load fine, and you will be able to play for as long as you'd like to ( there is no time or activity limit implemented currently ) However, keep in mind that closing the game at any point while waiting in the queue or while already inside of the game will remove you from the pool of active players, and you'll need to queue again.
That's pretty much it! If you've got any feedback about this new feature, we'd LOVE to hear it - so head on over to our discord, telegram or just send a message directly to our friendly folks over at customer support via our chat widget!
Other Notable Updates:
We've added another improvement to compliment this new queuing system and help you play matches quickly and efficiently - the match speed you set when playing will now persist across matches, so you only need to set it once and every match will be played out at the same speed you set - no more having to manually press x2 or x3 each time you enter a dungeon battle!
