Update: Player Satisfaction Survey & Optimizations

Dear community,

We would like to present to you the patchnotes for the upcoming update.

Player satisfaction survey
This update will offer each one of you the chance to share feedback on your gaming experience in Empire directly with our team. TThis will be done through a survey that you will find in your account's inbox once it has been activated, which will focus mostly on game mechanics, performance and features.
What we are interested in is your honest and accurate feedback to have a more precise indication on what really matters to you, so that we can combine it with our vision to better define the development direction of Empire.
Not all players will recieve the survey at the same time, it will be distributed at different intervals. It wil be completely optional and of course all the information given will be used only internally and kept absolutely confidential.
Reward (Decorations) Crediting Rework
As a follow up from our recent Community Bug Prioritization poll, we aim to correct the rewards crediting system that caused some decorations/rewards to be lost during the process of crediting.
As our rewarding system is extremely complex, it’s proving very difficult to reproduce the problems some of you have experienced. In order to further enhance our analysis on this topic, we’ll implement several technical reworks in this update that will not be directly visible to you but should hopefully be a step in the right direction to locating these issues.
Beta Test Server
As previously mentioned, our efforts in the not so distant future are focused on improving the overall quality of Empire, which also means reducing the highest possible amount of bugs and issues before experiencing them in the live environment.
In order to do so, a Beta Test Server will be set up in the upcoming weeks, but first we will need to lay the technical foundations for this, which means that in this update, we’ll start the background preparations.
This is something that won’t be visible to you just yet, but we will share more information on the topic in the following weeks.
Optimizations

• You will now be able to see your equipment and gem storage capacity in various dialogues.
• The construction item crafting window will be optimized to show the upgrade requirements in a much clearer way.
