This update introduces scalable hunt difficulty alongside several backend and reliability improvements.

---

✨ New Features​

Hunt Difficulty & Multi-Character Hunts​

• Hunts now support a difficulty setting from 1–5.
• Higher difficulty means:
  • More monsters fought
  • More loot earned
  • Longer cooldown per character
  • Note: If your character dies during the hunt, you will not get loot!

Difficulty breakdown:

• Difficulty 1 (Normal Hunt)
  • 1 mob
  • 1 loot drop
  • 5-minute cooldown
• Difficulty 5
  • 5 mobs
  • 5 loot drops
  • 25-minute cooldown

🎨 Improvements​

API & Backend​

• Hedged Network Requests

  • Implemented hedged requests for AtomicAssets and ContractService.
  • Requests now fan out to multiple endpoints and return the first successful response, improving reliability and reducing latency.

• Build Optimization

  • Source map generation has been disabled in development, local, and production builds.
  • This can lead to smaller deployment sizes and potentially faster builds.

Code & Data Model Cleanup​

• Item Data Type Refinement

  • Introduced a BaseItemData class and now explicitly cast to ItemData where specific item properties are required.
  • This is a step toward a more generalized and maintainable item data hierarchy.

• PlayFab SDK Update

  • Updated to the latest PlayFab SDK, which includes:
    • Changes to authentication contexts (BattleNet, Google Play Games, ServerCustomId).
    • Minor adjustments to Economy and Multiplayer models.

---

🐛 Bug Fixes​

• Various minor fixes and stability improvements related to hunts, networking, and data handling.
• Fixed cooldowns not updating after a hunt.
