hackSociety news & patch notes

Hello! hackSociety is currently on version 1.2.93. The game build number is now on 1.3 as we get ready for game update 1.3, a big balancing and content update. I've neglected putting update logs here on Steam. To catch you up, here is every single thing we've done since launch. Game Update 1.2.93 + Translated the game in Portuguese! + Updated outdated help button information + Fixed Graveyard pulls not showing in hNFT history + Fixed vouchers not giving a notification when claimed in some cases + Fixed mastery not showing on the initial load of Virus Lab + Fixed live chat translations not showing properly in a certain case + Solved multiple other device specific bugs that I lost track of Game Update 1.2.92 + Improved retry connection button for some devices with issues after the game was put out of focus + Improved log handling for some devices with issues + Fixed deleted/banned accounts clogging up the network + More backend work preventing abuse Game Update 1.2.91 + Fixed chat preview button in mobile home menu not updating sometimes + Fixed chat scrolling back down every new message + Backend work preventing abuse of the account system Game Update 1.2.9 + Added "VIEW OWNERS" button in the details page for a hNFT. It lets you see every owner of every # of that hNFT. The button is next to "MARKET HISTORY". + Added in-game rules you must agree to + Some anti-scripting and multi accounting stuff. Will finish in 1.3 - Bug Fixes + Fixed not being able to claim multiple vouchers in the same log - which apparently happens often wtf + Fixed a issue where double tapping quickly on LOGS in the Terminal can cause a split-screen effect + Fixed a issue where going in and out of a app would make the XP unviewable in the home menu on desktop + Fixed a issue with taskbar apps lagging the more you use them on desktop + Removed a old debug label for consumables on desktop that could appear Major Game Update 1.2.8 + New Contracts app - Claim contracts and complete the task to gain the listed rewards. Involves using Offensive Processing Power to DDoS targets, with difficulties ranging from Easy to Hard. Contracts appear randomly in a shared contract list everyone has, and some contracts can have package rewards + Organization Zero Day Research - Find corporate targets in the wild, and add them as a connection. You'll need to Target Scan them and get a exposed Port. Enter the IP and port of the corporate target into the Organizations app "Research" tab and you and your organization can begin funneling money into researching a zero day on this target. These zero days once completed begin a sponsored zero day your organization and the rest of the player base can participate in to steal hTC + KOTH is back to twice a day, the new KOTH running 12 hours after the current one + Replaced Friend Request mission with a mission to complete a medium or hard contract + New hNFT's - completed allocation effects for Founder & Bug Hunter, and some new hNFT's, one is a consumable! + Added a Close All button for connections in the Terminal app - Bug Fixes + Fixed a issue with logs on some Androids (hopefully) + Fixed hNFT market listings continuing to exist after the hNFT was bought in a separate personal offer + Fixed Target Scanner mastery not showing + Fixed hNFT effects not working immediately after purchase **Major Game Update 1.2.7** + New Notepad app + New Blockchain viewer in the Crypto Wallet app + You now have to double click on AUCTION and MAKE LISTING buttons to use them + Botnet progress past 16gb is possible + Removed IP's from phone notifications - Bug Fixes + Fixed multiple tournament issues + Fixed old daily reset messages + Fixed incorrect access trojan notifications + Connection improvements + Long usernames fixed + Fixed hNFT market visual bugs on desktop & mobile Game Update 1.2.6 + Fixed some apps not allowing other apps to load stats after closing + Fixed the recent bug of the Overview screen appearing in KOTH on desktop + Usernames cannot have special characters now. Names adjusted Game Update 1.2.5 + Your private messages are now sorted by most recent messages, but this is only working AFTER the update, so it will take effect the next time you message someone - Bug Fixes + Fixed stats not updating in some places + Fixed Organizations app lag on some devices + Fixed not being able to check hNFT collection of users with no hNFT equipped on desktop + Connection improvements Game Update 1.2.4 + Fixed Virus Lab not letting you scroll through createable viruses during a Zero Day + Fixed your own username in chat not displaying your proper customizations on your end sometimes on desktop + Fixed multiple tournament bugs + Fixed banners taking way too long to update for people + Fixed the bug of doom that caused the hNFT Collection modal to randomly appear on desktop that I couldn't fix for 9 days + Fixed packs missing some luck information on mobile + Fixed Discord linking flow on desktop Major Game Update 1.2.3 + Brand new RUSH tournament - the RUSH tournament from before has been replaced. When it runs, you'll gain score for running successful access trojans, crypto stealers, and botnet viruses, and also gain double more for using bank fraud. You lose score for being hacked. Vouchers drop during this tournament and it's +1000 score for collecting one. So in this tournament, you're getting the rewards for winning, and getting vouchers. This is a solo per-person tournament, where it's your username on the leaderboard, not your organization. However, the leaderboard for it, is still in the Organizations app. + Brand new Nightshop - the in-game shop is obviously very bad. None of the purchases in there are worth it, really. I want to allow people to support the game and get cool stuff, obviously while not making the game P2W. So if you're a supporter of the game and have VIP, you can do /nightshop to recieve a link to the Nightshop store. You'll find better, fair packages in there to buy. + Changing IP price changed to 1000 hTC + Epic INTERNET hNFT is dropping with -50% Change IP cost + Changing IP disconnects you from a Botnet + 2 hour cooldown on putting specific people into your Botnet. You can spam Botnet virus across multiple people, but if you infect someone specific too quickly, you'll have to wait. + You can link your Discord account in settings. Soon this will be required to access the Discord server! + XP adjusted - Bug Fixes + Fixed red always showing up for segments your organization controls in KOTH Game Update 1.2.2 + Adjusted crypto mining rates + KOTH is once a day at 20:00:00 while we adjust. It will increase to 2 a day in the future + hUSD balance no longer rounds - Bug Fixes + Fixed new KOTH lag problems on mobile Game Update 1.2.1 + Botnet Prices adjusted - Bug Fixes + Fixed issues with executing viruses after you've been disconnected from that connection **Major Update 1.2.0** + KOTH rework - contains 3 layers, with 9 segments each. Green ones are segments your organization controls, red ones are not, and grey is unclaimed. The top middle piece of each 3x3 is a crown piece with a rare pack. The rest have basics. They all contain hTC. This was a heavily suggested community feature all around and I'm glad to bring it out. + Botnet Prices adjusted + Botnet connections are now limited to one person each. Currently it's whoever takes the botnet victim for their own keeps it until someone else takes it back. We'll add a better system to manage this fairly soon. Botnet connections have been reset to accommodate for this change. + More vouchers! + Hold down on a chat message to copy it. Mobile only for now - Bug Fixes + Fixed terminal voucher claim bug In 1.1.8 I added a bunch of hTC changes and increased values. You can find vouchers in logs and get packs, basic rare or even signature if you're really lucky. Game Update 1.1.7 + Crypto Tournament Rewards adjusted and expanded + Improved connection handling and reconnect button - Bug Fixes + Fixed the recently implemented expanded security notifications ignoring settings preferences + Tournament leaderboards should not take so god damn long to update now! Should be updating every 5 secs! + Fixed koth tournament attacker visual bug Major Update 1.1.6 + Botnets can now be toppled by executing a successful Botnet virus on someone. It will clear their botnet connections + Users inside Botnets at 0 power will still mine $100 of crypto every 10 minutes. This should allow new users to gain money quickly, and make crypto tournament more successful + Crypto transactions are restrictive. Once you receive crypto, you cannot send crypto anywhere for 3 hours. Once you send crypto to a person, you and your entire organization cannot steal crypto from them for 24 hours + Crypto cannot be sent during a crypto tournament + You can refresh your crypto wallet address so no one can constantly send you small amounts of crypto and restrict you from ever sending any + Auction alerts now in home menu and in chat! + - Bug Fixes + Fixed terminal scroll fix on mobile for connections + Fixed terminal logs scroll fix on mobile after exiting logs + Fixed packs cash issue on desktop Game Update v1.1.5 + KOTH tournament now happens 4 times a day + KOTH tournament now shows instructions while inactive + KOTH tournament now sends a chat alert ten minutes beforehand + New users start with 30,000 cash - Bug Fixes + Profiles opened in the Rank app are better Game Update v1.1.4 + Fixed zero day virus persistence (for real this time) + Zero day now ends when money pool hits 0 + Fixed desktop rank app only showing LB once + Fixed backend issue that could allow cheaters Game Update v1.1.3 + Added terminal text to make it obvious when you've been detected + /leave is a chat command to leave a organization now - Bug Fixes + Desktop all loading stutter fix + Connection tweaks, still wont be perfect until app update Game Update v1.1.2 + Organization tags can have numbers now - Bug Fixes + Fixed network targets overlapping in some cases + Fixed mission claim button visual issues + Fixed mission reset bug Game Update v1.1.1 + Fixed crypto amount not showing in notifications + Fixed zero day virus persistence (hopefully) + Fixed taskbar being stuck while a app is opened on desktop Major Update v1.1 + Added Missions to the Profile app - Bug Fixes + Wheel Issues on desktop + Firework animation issues + Fixed terminal logs not being able to be closed in some cases + Fixed hNFT market purchase button not working in some cases Game Update v1.0.5 + You can now see your total virus stats WITH mastery buff in Virus Lab + You now get notifications in-game when hacked + You can now see the organization of targets being scanned in the Network Game Update v1.0.4 + Tournament leaderboards overhauled & live - Bug Fixes + Crypto Tournament payout fix + Crypto cannot be stolen among organization members in tournament Game Update v1.0.3 + You can click on user profiles in the Rank app now on mobile - Bug Fixes + Fixed visual bug with base processing power upgrade prices + Fixed botnet power visual bug in terminal when adding a user + Partial low resolution fix for very low resolution computers, will be improved Game Update v1.0.2 + Fixed hNFT's being able to be put up for auction and be on the Blackmarket + Crypto Wallet live update fixes + Fixed Botnet app error handling & truncuated text + Fixed pack openings not updating hTC count stat immediately on desktop + Fixed Zero Day virus persists after event bug Game Update v1.0.1 + Crypto Mining is now per 10 minutes + Lowered botnet compromised cooldown to 5 minutes + Target Scanners can now be recycled - Bug Fixes + Fixed Bank Fraud & Crypto Stealer virus freeze bug on some targets + Connection improvements (more to be done) + Fixed issue with botnet slider on cooldown showing wrong error message + Fixed list of friends not scrolling all the way + Fixed close button on targets not closing the connection until app close + Fixed virus selector in Terminal not working on some desktops + Fixed a bug that made Organization profiles keep reappearing after clicking on profiles + Fixed crypto tournament quirks + Fixed Daily Reward claim button not being up to date on first open
