[2020] Temtem 0.5.16 – Ranked Update

• Added Ranked matchmaking. Players will be matched together via their TMR (Tamer Matchmaking Rating) into competitive battles.
  • This is the first iteration of the Ranked battles so it only has the core features for now.
  • Every Temtem is auto-scaled on ranked battles. This means that their level is upped to the current level cap (48) and all their SVs are maxed (50). TVs remain intact.
  • While ranked battles will give pansun rewards, they are currently disabled until the system is fully tested.
• Added the Spectator mode. Players can now spectate others from the Interact menu as long as they’re playing a competitive battle.
  • As with the Ranked matchmaking, this is the first iteration of this feature so it will be improved and worked on in the future.
• Added a new Status condition: Evading. While evading, the Temtem will avoid the next offensive technique directed at it.
• Added a new Status condition: Alerted. While alerted, the Temtem can’t be asleep and after waking up from being asleep, they will automatically be Alerted for one turn.
• Added the Battle Log screen. The Battle Log will summarize every known Temtem in the battle with all the data needed for battles: health, stamina, status conditions and… yeah, stat stages.
  • Please note that by default, the Battle Log is only accessible in competitive battles, but it can be enabled in every battle type from the Settings menu.
• Added player intros and outros on PvP matches.
  • The player intro will display both players and their lead Tems. In the future, this intro will also showcase PVP stats for each player.
  • The outro will only display the winner player and their squad.
• Added 22 new Technique animations (Bamboozle, Chain Lighting, Head Charge, Gamma Burst, Feather Gatling, Urushiol, Narcoleptic Hit, Nicho Sai, Oshi-Dashi, Dust Vortex, Toxic Slime, Awful Song, Crystal Plume Gatling, Crystal Bite, Harmful Lick, Extinction, Rend, Frond Whip, Major Slash, Toxic Plume, Slime and Hyperkinetic Strike).

• The FreeTem foundation now has four different rewards associated with different releases tiers.
  • Please note that this week remains intact so the new configuration will start applying on the next weekly reset.
• The Map now features names for the areas. The names are hidden while zoomed in but they will display on zoomed out configurations.
• The SPATK icon has been replaced with a different one in order to differentiate it better from the ATK icon.
• On PC, right-clicking on an empty space will now act as a cancel/escape action.
• Interiors now match the environment sound of their exterior zones when they don’t have a custom environment sound defined.
• Revisited some interior environment sounds (Konstantino’s Lab, Boutiques, Luisouvenirs, Player’s Home, Accademia, Saipark Caves, and the Commune).
• The Temdeck now features 23 different marks (up from 11). Current marks are still the same and they are maintained in your Temdecks.

• Players now need to be near each other in order to do a trade.
  • We’ve seen multiple cases of abuse with the previous system so we’ve decided to keep long-distance trades reserved for the future Trading House.
• Telomere Hacks now only work on Temtem where the Original Tamer is the Player using the Hack.
  • We like Telomere Hacks as a way to perfect your almost perfect Temtem, but they’ve been the subject for several cases of abuse and scams between players offering them (even though they are non-tradeable). This change will help us to keep the intended feature for legit players without needing to remove the items altogether.
