====Recent Maintenance and Downtime====
 +
Today shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end the game began to experience issues including trap setups and hunt results changing. Upon the issue coming to our attention we confirmed there was an issue and decided to put the game into unscheduled maintenance due to the severity of the problem.
  
−
====Updates to Rift Equipment to Address Bugs====
+
The dev team got to work investigating what the cause of problem was. After some time we identified a network configuration issue isolated to a group of servers that were brought online shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end. This network issue caused connectivity problems between the web server and a data server causing the problem with trap setups not saving or changing.
−
Greetings, hunters. We recently discovered two related bugs that were affecting both the Prestige Base as well as the Riftwalker and Riftstalker set bonuses. These bugs were causing the various bonuses involved with the base and sets to be doubled in some cases. The issue affecting the Riftwalker (and later Riftstalker) set bonus appears to have been introduced in February, 2015 when the Taunting Charm was given the relevant rift-set bonus when encountering certain mice. The Prestige Base has been affected since its introduction in October 2019.
 
  
−
After carefully reviewing the cause of the problem we decided to fix the error but also increase the bonuses of the Prestige Base, Riftwalker, and Riftstalker sets to still grant the same increased bonuses. However, these increased bonuses will now correctly appear in your trap stats. Or in other words, instead of lowering the stats, we've adopted these unintended "hidden" bonuses and they will now be displayed.
+
'''We have now removed these faulty servers which appears to have corrected the issue'''
 +
Thanks for your patience and understanding while the team investigated the network issue at our hosting provider. Unfortunately during the period of instability hunters may have experienced strange events or side effects such as their trap setup or hunt results changing. If you experienced a major issue please contact us via support with a screenshot of the issue and description of what you experienced. We appreciate your patience as our response times may be slower due to an increased quantity of support requests.

====Riftwalker and Riftstalker Set Specifics====

'''Glitchpaw Mice on the Loose'''

The bug affecting the Riftwalker and Riftstalker set were doubling the additional ''''Power Bonus''' these sets provide when two pieces of Rift equipment are armed. However, the '''Luck''' of these sets was '''NOT''' affected.

Glitchpaw mice have been spotted on the loose! These computer-snacking, bug-causing, networking-clogging vermin can be encountered in a variety of locations throughout the Kingdom and carry bonus loot! Glitchpaws will go back into hiding on Friday, February 26.
  
−
Therefore, the Riftwalker Set Bonus has been updated to provide a 20% Power Bonus, and the Riftstalker Set bonus updated to provide a 40% Power Bonus. Once again, these additional bonuses were already being applied while hunting, but were previously not visible in your trap's stats.

Therefore, the Prestige Base has been updated to provide 20 Power per highest floor reached during Ultimate Umbra and +2 Luck per Eclipse Floor reached during Ultimate Umbra.

If we were not to adopt the higher stats than hunters who had already utilized these bonuses to reach higher floors within the Valour Rift Gauntlet Tower, or accomplish other difficult feats within the Rift Plane would have had an advantage.

−
Keeping the playing field level feels especially important due to the nature of the Prestige Base. We felt removing bonuses that in some cases have been active for more than five years didn't make sense. By adopting the higher stats the catch rates and expectations hunters have already come to know will remain the same, and future hunters will have an equal opportunity to accomplish the same difficult feats in the Rift Plane.
 
  
−
After getting feedback from a variety of hunters, we realized that no single solution to address the issue would be popular with every group of player. We still welcome continued feedback and are weighing other additions such as new functionality for the Clockwork Base as part of a future patch. Please keep the feedback and suggestions coming!

To lure these quick and athletic mice to your trap, you'll first need to grab hold of some Runny Cheese!

Keep an eye out for the Extreme Everysports Mouse: Should hunters manage to catch it, they may find it drops an occasional Tournament Token that it was hoarding from its many competitive victories!

As of March 2, all of the Lunar New Year mice, rewards, and shop items will be gone until next year.
