End-of-Year Updates: Wobble Squabble, BattleBall, and More

[p]We’ve been doing a bit of housekeeping behind the scenes as we wrap up the year, starting with Wobble Squabble.[/p][p]Some players ran into rare edge cases where a match could trigger client-side errors mid-game. Not great timing, and definitely not the kind of wobble anyone signed up for. These issues have now been fixed, and Wobble Squabble should run far more reliably going forward.[/p][p]There are no rule changes or balance tweaks here, just stability improvements where they were needed.[/p][p]Alongside this, we’re introducing three new BattleBall event modes.[/p][p]These modes will appear as rotating, hour-long events via the Casual Lobby, each bringing a bold twist to the classic BattleBall formula:[/p]

[p]BattleBall: Lightcycle - Jump in and carve trails across the arena, but cross the wrong line and you’re done![/p]
[p]BattleBall: Closing In - Stay inside the shrinking zone and hold your ground as the arena closes in around you.[/p]
[p]BattleBall: Crosscut - Dodge sweeping energy beams and fight for fresh ground as the arena keeps resetting.[/p]

[p]Each event takes over the lobby for a limited time before rotating out, keeping BattleBall fast, unpredictable, and worth jumping back into whenever it lights up.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Other bug fixes & improvements[/h2]
