Blood Testament, and one chip for every season

Hunt's new season - Blood Testament - started on 8 September.

From that day every "this season" figure started again from zero: the season boards on the roster, the season view of a dossier, and the season block on the OBS overlay. We also tidied up the season selector a little, since there are three of them now and they had stopped fitting everywhere.

A new Quick Play leaderboard

The Quick Play board used to rank on all-time K/D, and that number barely moved for anyone on the board.

So the Quick Play boards are now seasonal only, ranked by wins: whoever has the most wins in the mode sits higher, and you need 10 wins in the mode to show up. There is no all-time board any more.

A Party Finder without the ghosts

Listings stayed up forever, so a hunter who posted months ago and never came back was still taking up space and still collecting requests nobody would ever answer. When we counted, close to half the listings were dead.

Listings have a shelf life now, along with an activity requirement for whoever posted them.

Yours stays on the board while all three hold: it was published or renewed in the last 30 days, you have been on the site in the last 7, and you have played Hunt in the last 14.

Only the 30-day shelf life needs any action from you, and it is one click: your own listing shows how many days it has left, and an expired one gets a Renew button.

Nothing is deleted: an expired listing is hidden, and we send you a notification on the site when it drops off. Putting it back on the board is one click as well.

Two more things on the same page:

  • The board now loads in parts as you scroll; it used to be one long list.
  • Three new ways to be reached: Lolka, for anyone who can't get to Discord, plus QQ and KOOK for the Chinese audience.

Paying from outside Russia

Our card payments run through a Russian acquirer, so a card issued in another country is usually declined (though sometimes it does go through).

Now, alongside Boosty, there is one more way to pay: Tribute. Tribute takes foreign cards, and also SBP, Telegram Stars, Wallet Pay and more. The button is on the subscription page for everyone except visitors we can confidently place in Russia, whose cards work anyway.

Before you pay:

  • You need a linked Telegram account. Tribute tells us who paid by their Telegram account and by nothing else, so the two have to be linked first, in the "Telegram" section of your account page.
  • It is a one-off payment for a single period. Nothing renews, and the system itself provides no refunds. The button says so before you pay.

Everything else

  • Better validation of the text in the bio editor (Banisher tier and up).
  • On the overlay, the session change beside a goal is now coloured by its direction: green when things are going well, red when they aren't.
  • Discord auto-roles work more reliably, and faster.
  • Many fixes to stat refreshing after the new patch landed.
  • And a great many other odds and ends.
