Patch 0.31.2: Sharper and Louder

The combat replays embedded on the landing page used to run silent. Now, the moment you press begin and start one of those battles, it plays its music and combat sound the same way a full replay does. Nothing autoplays, the sound only comes on once you start the fight yourself, so the page stays quiet until you want it loud.

The pickable Fighter strip in the team draft used to look faintly dimmed, so the cards never quite read at full strength. That is fixed, the strip now shows every card at full opacity with just a soft edge. On top of that, the card preview that pops up on hover now keeps its gold and mythic foil frame instead of dropping it, high-resolution screens pull the right image size so tiles look crisp rather than soft, and freshly rebalanced card art no longer shows up stale for returning players.

The recruiting area on your play deck used to spread a full share console and a standings list across the screen. We trimmed it down to a small chip that shows your rank in the current Recruit Rally at a glance, with a link through to the full recruiting dashboard when you want the details. Less clutter on the deck, the same information one tap away.

The landing page got a small recruiting cleanup. Signed-out visitors now see a compact invite pill tucked over the hero instead of a bulky banner, and the recruit button scrolls you straight to the live-match preview so you land on the game in motion rather than the top of a section.

The Referral Herald, the collectible you earn for topping a Recruit Rally, used to go to first place alone. Now the whole top ten of a rally takes one home. Rank one still claims the fully leveled gold-foil copy, and ranks two through ten each receive a base copy of the card. Bring more pilots into the fight and the reward reaches further down the board.

The music that plays while you wait in queue is now a calmer, ambient space-opera track instead of the old loop, so a longer search sits easier. We also turned down the pick and remove clicks in the team draft, which were louder than they needed to be against everything else.

Players signing in with email could hit a PIN prompt at the wrong moment and get stuck right before the new-pilot welcome ceremony. The welcome step now waves that prompt through, so first sign-in flows straight into the ceremony the way it should.

On the tutorial briefing hub, the right panel used to stop short of the taller left column on desktop, leaving an awkward gap before the honors strip below. The two columns now match height, so the layout reads clean edge to edge.
