Web alerts is going to be interesting. Default for “tributes off, offers on” earned a glare though. Am I the only one who thinks the board is animating more smoothly now? Have to see more but I bet the freezing issue is gone. ---

Why are the ‘add a gem’ weapon ‘upgrades’ not also going away? Those probably betray more of their own users (especially on doomed blade) than the +10 ones that hardly anyone has. ---

& @awryan. As we support having both 4.1 and 4.2 versions of the game running at once, if the tasks were completed by someone playing on a 4.1 build, the activities wouldn’t be recorded. We are using this as a starting point for the activity log, so please pass on what activities everyone would like to see in there 🙂 ---

The extra bounce animation when gems drop slows down the game unnecessarily. It is especially noticeable on 4x speed where everything else is so quick and clean. Maybe there’s a way to turn off that animation that I haven’t found yet? It’s not a welcome addition, at least not to me.
