Hotfix 1.20.0 - Hotfix #1

This is the first hotfix for the latest 1.20.0 update. We plan to release a few more in the coming week(s). We thank you all for your patience while we address those.

Hotfix #1:
- Re-enabled the Trade Market
- Fixed a bug where Guild HQs and territories would randomly reset themselves
- Fixed a bug where the server would try to teleport players to full servers when starting a war
- Fixed a bug where the Raid Reward chest would be empty upon opening it
- Fixed a bug where quest segments would sometimes continue playing even after a player did /class, causing odd quest bugs
- Improved an issue where random blocks would sometimes spawn randomly on the world, which messed redstone up at times
- Fixed some abusable issues with Build Stands
- Fixed an abusable issue with Guild War attacks
- Fixed various content issues (like the first challenge of Sand-Swept Tomb not working)

The patch will be live to every server within 7 hours or so of this post.

There are more issues we're aware that we want to fix, but we might still have missed some. Feel free to report anything you find here. Especially if the issues stated previously end up coming back


I want to also quickly address a point I've seen around in the community: that the HERO Beta should have lasted longer so we could fix more bugs. I understand why it would make sense to think so, but it's unfortunately not that simple, here's why:
- The beta effectiveness gets exponentially weaker the longer it lasts. People tests less, get used to bugs and don't report them, or just don't bother logging in to the beta anymore
- The scale between beta and live servers is immense. A few hundreds people logged in to beta during its 1+ month of being open, while 50,000 unique players join the live servers every week
- People play differently on beta than on the live servers, leading to behaviours that won't be replicated when the update is out. This makes balancing certain aspect of the game much harder when using beta feedback
- Even when we open beta to everyone to try to test scalability and bugs, only a small % actually join and even less people actually bother reporting bugs. The best bug reporters are often people with HERO as they care a lot about the game
- Many of the new bugs are related to scaling. For example, the bug with raid rewards not giving items was fixed on the last day of beta, but once it was on the live servers our fix wasn't enough to sustain the massive stress added to it, leading to the bug coming back

We're not perfect of course, there are things we could have done to make the release smoother. I just want to highlight that the solution to avoid bugs isn't as simple as it may seem.

See y'all next time for another update!
