Regarding Server Release Notes 2022-08-02 and FBB fix

I'm asuming the wording in this announcement is just confusiong, but I will ask anyway

- Fleet Boss Battles: a change has been implemented to ensure that the traits requirements to unlock nodes only pull from traits from crew available in Crew Retrieval/Time Portal

https://forum.wickedrealmgames.com/stt/discussion/19583/server-release-notes-2022-08-02

Does this mean, literally, that the possible traits are pulled from the pool of trats existing in portal crew? Thus allowing a combination of traits that individually exits in portal crew, but are only present combined in non portal crew? (ie Brutal, Hunter and Crafty are present in portal crew, but the only crew with all 3 is Shroomies https://datacore.app/?search=trait:Brutal+trait:Hunter+trait:Crafty )

Or the fix creates nodes that can always be solved with crew available in the time portal (meaning that the combination, not the traits, is pulled from portal crew)?

Shan

The latter.
The combinations generated will only be for crew that are currently available in Crew Retrieval/Time Portal.

That fix was VERY badly needed, thank you. This morning for example, my fleet began a Nightmare run before the server update and we got to a trait node on the fifth chain that required a card not in the portal. After an hour of asking around in fleet chat we discovered that nobody had the card. Thankfully I filed a CS ticket about it and a faceless "Tribble" solved the node for us in less than an hour, so a HUGE thank you to CS for that timely assist.

But for that hour before we had a solution it was dark times indeed, many of us had worked quite a bit for hours to coordinate, test traits, spent dilithium for more Valor and it was demoralizing to know there was nothing we could do.

Just when I got the Shroomies from the 390 pack for possible busbattle solves, this was announced. I dun mind because this change is purrfect! The Shroomies went into the freezer for good.
