I want to know when/if we will get a hotfix to turn the particle effects off and if things like the semi-transparent board and the sidescrolling after battle/treasure hunt in the reward window will still get changed or if all those things will stay with us.

**_EDIT after Salty’s statment about the particles:_ Please check these two questions of mine below for updated questions about the particles. The question about sidescrolling and the transparent background remain.**
