OFFICIAL: 4.1.1 Update Notes (LIVE!)

[.Ron]

Since the rift coins that we could get from gifts have been reduced, will you guys provide an updated table on the contents of gifts, similar to the one you guys posted before on twitter?

Secret skeleton????? What’s with that????

 

[Lunix Vandal]

Is anyone gonna ask wth the "Secret skeleton rift battle lobby" is??

Secret skeleton????? What’s with that????

You know how every other game mode has a menu where you pick what story/event/comp queue/prize fight you want to play in? So did Rift:

Of course, since Rift only has one queue, its queue-select menu was removed for being redundant, but its data was still in the game files. Up until now, you could occasionally trick the game into showing you this menu by backing out of Rift mode.

May as well call it the Beta files for a placeholder, security, probably even maybes just the devs trying to improve on it. A Easter Egg in the game we won't see in the future

I'd like this too, please!

I would guess they've been halved? I've gotten 6-packs from some of the gifts post-update, where before the only non-5-multiple number was 12. Also, I've only gotten 25-packs from gold gifts post-update, and haven't gotten any 50s, which used to be the gold-exclusive quantity.

After 15 minutes of waiting for anything happens i think this battle would count as lost. Sadness.

Just farm and found bug lmao ( cerebella daily event)

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with the Devs on reducing the amount of rift coins from gifts.
My main reason is that it actually encourages people to do rift. On first glance it may seem like the opposite, but hear me out. Getting rift coins helps buy good catalysts which are really helpful in rift. For players who aren't really motivated to play rift or those who just don't feel like they can compete (like myself), getting rift coins to boost my base is actually prodding me to try again because I feel like I have a better chance at winning. This is only made possible by the rift coins I receive from gifts. Rift coins from gifts give players who don't feel like they have a fighting chance the boost they need to get back into rift (or get started).
Any other thoughts on the matter?

@Dusty00 Thanks for 21 Gold Gifts btw I don't deserve your friendship ;__;

You deserve an award for making Skullgirls an absolute masterpiece

Would it be possible to update the gifting system so that we get to choose whether to gift a gold or normal gift, instead of gifting all our golds first? As things are now, I find it a bit difficult to reciprocate gold gifts with gold gifts.

Hey everyone!

Our next update is arriving soon, and that update is... 4.1.1!

"But what about 4.2!?"

Although we're still hard at work on some larger features that will be arriving in our 4.2 update, we still wanted to release some improvements and fixes to some of our recent features that were added in 4.1. Rest assured that as soon as 4.2 is ready to go we'll get it in your hands ASAP.

Some of the contents in 4.2 and beyond will be discussed in our 2020 roadmap post, which is arriving sometime next week. (February 10th - 14th)

Social Hub

• The amount of Gifts that you have sent and received to and from a given Friend is now visible. Note that this is a retroactive change. You will be able to see the amount of Gifts sent and received between Friends from the start of 4.1 when the Social Hub was introduced, not the start of 4.1.1.

• Gifts now provide less Rift Coins than they did previously.

Match Challenges

• You can now view your Match Challenge progress on various screens throughout the game to help you keep track of which ones you still need to complete.

OTHER CHANGES

Optimizations

• Improvements were made to reduce memory usage across the app to reduce the chances of crashing. If you're still experiencing crashes on low end devices, we recommend occasionally restarting the app during long play sessions.

​

• Fixed an issue where blank panels could show up in the Friends list of the social hub.
• Getting an XP boost from a Gift or Gold Gift no longer displays the NEW tag.

• Fixed a few lingering Fights where opponent's had less Moves equipped than desired.

Let us know if you have any other questions down below, and we'll get to them when we can.

Is there any Valentine deals on this event up'n'coming to browse at? Like relics 10 +1 for x amount.

Edit: up on sale now! I might have to wait a bit longer - I don't know as of yet?. If I had a hundred I would too guys, your game is brilliant!.

I just noticed, since Dreadlock's reflect damage no longer triggers with blocked hits, would Untouchable's unflinching have the same treatment in the near future?

Notice how her first SA says "includes blocked hits"

Didn't notice that, thought it only says "when Hit" in the description. Thanks for pointing it out.

Can we receive gifts over the 50-gift limit if they’re milestone rewards from the Valentine’s prize fight?

Yes. Only random gifts are restricted now.
