April 24 Patch Notes: Fresh Updates & QoL Improvements

What's landed

  • Smooth, stage-free login — the loading bar finally acts like one
  • New Waterfront collection: Smuggler's Black Ledger (+3% Heist Payout)
  • Collections reordered to match your progression path through the districts
  • Untouchable Don card in Bloodlines reworded so you know exactly what you're obtaining
  • Your mastery bars now show the truth(5 affected & mailed players) — no more phantom "24/24 Gold"
  • Stats bar UI matches your battle reports. What you see is what you hit with
  • Races you won actually count toward your achievements (Back dating was successful)
  • Family-wide mail — Dons and Underbosses can broadcast to every member at once; Go to Mail > Compose.

Quality of life

  • New drops pop into your inbox the moment they arrive — no more refreshing
  • Countdowns reload the panel when they hit zero, so actions unlock on sight
  • Attack rate limit eased — fewer "slow down" brick-walls mid-fight
  • The Drop caps finally match the displayed rules (100 per day, not 20)
  • Blood Bond perks now surface in your Empire Bonuses breakdown alongside everything else
