:wrench: IN 4.29.6 (NEXT CLIENT UPDATE)

The next client release is on its way. Here’s what’s coming and why it matters:

  • Shop v2 :shopping_bags: — A big overhaul to how you find and buy things in Highrise. Redesigned shop tabs, reworked marketplace filters, the ability to go from gold directly into a trade, easier blindbox browsing, and refreshed For You and You Might Like rails that surface items actually worth your attention.

    • Why: Shopping was scattered across too many surfaces and finding a specific item took real work. This is the round where the shop starts feeling like one connected place, tuned to you, instead of a set of disconnected drawers.
  • Refreshed GIF picker :framed_picture: — The in-chat GIF picker moves to a new library provider, with a wider selection and better search.

    • Why: The old library was inconsistent and searches often came back thin. The new provider gives you a much bigger, more relevant pool to pick from, so the reactions you have in your head are the ones you can actually send.
  • Multiple Choice Chests fixes :wrapped_gift: — The picker inside Multiple Choice Chests is getting reliability fixes so selecting and opening a choice container works the way it should every time.

    • Why: Selections have been sticking inconsistently and some chests were opening without honoring your pick. This pass makes it dependable, so what you choose is what you get.

:speech_balloon: YOUR FEEDBACK

  • Grab value and pricing :yellow_heart: — We hear you loud and clear that spins and event items are a big investment, and free-to-play players want a fairer shot at the good stuff. The Bubble Claw Machine going permanent is one step toward more ways to win with the currency you earn in-game, and we’re listening on grab value overall.

  • Event pacing and missions :stopwatch: — Some of you have flagged that event windows feel short while mission chains feel long. We’re watching how the Cottontail Club tracks land and taking your pacing feedback seriously as we tune future events.
