:clapper: LAST THURSDAY: Streetrise — Style Challenge

The streets ran. :cityscape::black_heart::athletic_shoe: Seventy-five community-designed fits, ten sets deep, all crediting the UDC designers who built them. The Block Party brought the layered denim, the statement chains, and the graffiti-alley energy that was promised — and the leaderboard climbed accordingly. The boldest fits won the spotlight, just like they should have. :sparkles::fire::billed_cap:


:dove: THIS THURSDAY: House of Poise — Pool Party Event Format

Welcome to the House of Poise! :dove:

The wait is over. :sparkles: Step into an era of quiet luxury with refined, understated looks, soft neutrals, and structured silhouettes. :coat::briefcase:

With this launch comes an entirely new way to play: the Pool Party Event format. :ocean::tada: This one’s about hanging out and chilling rather than style-scoring. :tropical_drink::beach_umbrella:

How it works:

  • Passive earnings :tickets: — Hang out in the themed event room and earn tickets automatically every 5 seconds, just for being there.

  • Boost your gains :zap: — Tap the boost button to spend energy and accelerate your ticket gain.

  • Interactive vibes :person_swimming: — Jump in the pool and actually swim, use the in-room NPCs to switch between day and night vibes, or change up the radio station.

  • Swim Outfits :one_piece_swimsuit: — New changing rooms let you assign a Swim Outfit that auto-equips when you hit the water.

  • Classic favorites :joystick: — The Lucky Claw, Lucky Tokens, and item boosts are all still in the mix.

Jump into the room, relax with friends, and collect your rewards. :sunglasses::sparkles:

:wrench: IN 4.28.1 (NEXT CLIENT UPDATE)

The next client release is in the pipeline. Here’s what’s coming and why it matters:

  • Crews v2 — layout & membership fixes :house: — Four visual bugs corrected in the new Crews UI: the crew profile panel now hides properly when the side-panel opens, the post button is correctly positioned on desktop and tablet, custom crew backgrounds are no longer misaligned, and the member list no longer breaks when a crew has no regular (non-role) members.

    • Why: Crews v2 shipped with positioning regressions across device form factors. This restores the intended layout everywhere and stabilizes the member list for crews still standing up their roles.
  • Pet preview fix :paw_prints: — Owned pets now render correctly in item previews, showing your pet wearing the item with stackable accessories and markings intact.

    • Why: Players were seeing default pets instead of their owned variants when previewing pet clothing, making it hard to judge fit on their actual pal before buying.
  • Crew description limit raised :pencil: — Crew descriptions can now run longer.

    • Why: The previous cap was clipping mid-sentence for crews trying to communicate their vibe, rules, and recruiting pitch all in one place. More room to say what you’re about.

:speech_balloon: YOUR FEEDBACK

  • Snugglin Merge. The dominant story on Discord this week was a result of the decision made to continue to disallow head and body merging. Our support team is actively processing refund requests, so please reach out and we’ll be happy to address any and all concerns regarding this issue.
