Early Access 0.7.3

*Fixes, features, and improvements marked with the 👥 icon are originally suggested, inspired by, or reported by our community in our Forums.*

## Important Notice

* In order to implement the competitive improvements you can find below, and as we announced on our socials, we’ll be resetting all battle boxes with this patch. The tems and gears will remain in your Temdeck and inventory, but the info on your competitive squads will be erased from our server and you’ll have to prepare your battle boxes again. Remember you can do so from any Temdeck.
* This patch represents the last content update in the Cipanku cycle. We may publish additional patches with fixes but there won’t be any new content until we release Arbury.
* This update is fully translated already. Enjoy!

## New Stuff

* In-game **Tournaments** are here.
	+ New Tournaments will be automatically generated weekly, more specifically **3 Tournaments every Sunday**.
	+ Tournaments will be distributed along different time zones so you may join whichever one suits you best (or even all three for all you hardcore gamers!).
	+ Joining a Tournament is free, and you stand to win an exclusive Title (different each month!), Pansuns based on your performance and more top-tier rewards.
	+ You’ll be placed on any of the four leagues according to your TMR and the average TMR of your group. Rewards are better the higher the league, so TMR does matter.
* 👥The game is now playable using only your mouse.
	+ We’ve tried to test every single interaction (there are a lot!) with the mouse but you may find something that doesn’t work. Make sure to report any problem you might encounter here.
* You can now visit the **Crema offices** in Cipanku! You’ll get to help our devs in 4 new quests. Meet part of the team and learn a bit more about us, and get some new Gears in the process.
* We’ve added vibration for controllers and Haptic Feedback for PS5 users.
	+ If you prefer not to use **vibration** or **Haptic Feedback**, you can disable both in your Settings menu.
* 👥PS5 controllers now work on PC as well. Please note vibration doesn’t work for the PS5 controller on PC.
* 👥Competitive Squads now have a separate **Slot for Gears**, so Tamers can use the same Gear in different Competitive squads.
	+ Gears will now be attached to the slot instead of to the Temtem. This will allow for more dynamic team building, and is a change long requested.
	+ Only one copy of each gear can be set per squad, though.
* The spectators’ characters are **now visible** in the Competitive Battlezone!
	+ Spectators can emote and react in real time, so get ready to amp up the spectacle.
	+ Emotes during matches can be disabled from Settings, for those who’d rather focus on the match.
* We’re **splitting Telomere Hacks’** functionality into two new items: Hacks and Hotfixes.
	+ The **Telomere Hacks** you already know will now only work on **regular non-luma Temtem**.
	+ **Telomere Hotfixes**, on the other hand, work on **both non-luma and luma Temtem**.
	+ All of your previously held Telomere Hacks have been converted into Telomere Hotfixes and they’re usable on Luma tems so you won’t lose any functionality or value with this change.
	+ Why are we doing this change now?
		- Over time we’ve seen an increasing worry about using Hacks on anything that isn’t a Luma, because then you wouldn’t be getting the full value of the item.
		- We want to ease up the road to getting perfected Tems for competitive use, but increasing Telomeres’ accessibility wasn’t helping that because of the previous point.
		- Also, with every increase of Telomere access we’ve made, perfected Luma Tems (which should be the maximum end-game goal) have become increasingly more common.
		- Splitting the item into two variants allows us to increment the Hacks drops from all current loot pools while reducing Hotfixes drops too. This allows us to give more tools to create perfect Tems without damaging the Luma economy.
* A new button has been added to the TemDeck that will let you quickly move a Temtem from the Squad to any empty Slot in a box, and vice versa. It will also let you directly assign or remove a Temtem from a Competitive Battlebox.
* A new type of emotes has been added: **instruments**.
	+ The first addition to this family is the **Toy Piano**.
	+ Players will be able to obtain it by finishing the Musical Crystals quest.
	+ You can play actual music with it, and it will be synchronized between all players in the room. We’ll be waiting to hear your mixtapes ?
* Other players’ and NPCs’ Tems will be registered in the Tempedia as seen after interacting with them.
* Added 8 new technique animations.

## Improvements

* We’ve improved the procedures for server connection to avoid some cases where Tamers couldn’t see other Tamers moving in the world.
* Added a new backpack folder for Radars.
* 👥We’ve manually rearranged the Backpack item order to make it more organic and intuitive. For example, Fruits and Candies are now ordered together and according to their stats.
* When trying to equip a gear, all Gears that are already equipped will now appear greyed-out in the Backpack.
* 👥The Spectate Button in the Interact screen will now be updated in real-time. No more closing and reopening the interact screen to refresh it.
* A new Setting has been added: **Show Tutorials**, with three possible choices:
	+ Full, where all tutorials will open automatically. This is the new default.
	+ Notification, where you’ll get the option to open or ignore a tutorial window.
	+ Hide, where the game won’t show you the tutorials at all.
* 👥The Lair Party info and the Lair Map are now visible when you get the Revive Pop-Up in a Lair so players can now make better choices with all the available info.
* The Tamer Info screen has been modified to include the medals earned through Tournaments.
* 👥Free Teleports are now shown at the top of the list for each island. No more scrolling for Uhuru.
* 👥A sign has been added to indicate when a Speed Tie happens and who won it.
* From now on, Loot Pools will show duplicated items with a small number in its icon, instead of showing the item repeated on the UI.
* The audio fauna system will now only spawn the sounds of Temtem you could encounter on the island you’re currently in.
* 👥A new message has been added to warn Tamers when they try to use a Scent while already using one.
* 👥When choosing a quantity (during trades or in a Shop, for example), if you go over the maximum number on the selection it will go back to 0 and vice versa.
* We’ve improved the legibility of the technique and trait details pop-up on the Temtem details screen.
* 👥The running animation of Volgon has been improved.

* Neurotoxins
	+ Will now inflict Doom even upon Toxic Temtem.
* Sepukku
	+ We’ve fixed that this trait was proccing after using Sacrifice or Autodestruction, even if there was no overexertion.
* Tireless
	+ If the Temtem with this trait misses a Technique (due to Evading status or because there aren’t any enemies on the battlefield alive) and it overexerts, Tireless will be activated.

### Gears

* Added 5 new Gears
	+ Fake Beard, Mom’s Lunch, Morale’s Whip, Redirection Device and Gravel’s Bag.

	+ It now only removes negative Status Conditions when applied.

* Hacked Microchip
	+ Will no longer work with multiple target Techniques.

## Other

* From now on, competitive squads won’t allow having both a pre-evolution and the evolved form of the same Temtem at the same time. This is tied to the new locking system in Tournaments. Sorry, Tylo.
* When exiting the game, you’ll now hear the fainting sound of a random Temtem. *Because how dare you.*
