Flowers vs. Powers, Audio/Video Rollout, Beta Badges, Verification Badge Update

Attendees: Zach, Meggs

Full Audio/Video System Rollout

• Dropping this Friday
• Slow rollout depending on stability — if everything goes smoothly, everyone will be forced to switch to the new update within a week
• Rollout order will be random

Flowers vs. Powers

• New gifts dropping at 4pm PT
• 4 competing leaderboards: gifter & streamer, each for Flowers and Powers
• You can tell which gift is associated with which track by the icon next to the gift icon
• You can be on both leaderboards
• Will work on beta
• The daily reward will count toward different leaderboards each day
• No 1x multiplier this time — gifts that apply will change each day and won't be limited to unlockables only
• If you have an unlocked gift from a previous season, expect it to apply to next year's event

Beta Badges

• Will be tiered based on streaks during beta + other factors
• Beta program will be renamed to "Tester" program at some point

Verification Badge Update

• Coming to beta next week (hopefully)
• Will make it much easier to see which level you've achieved and which you're currently showing
• Verification is about to matter significantly
• There might be a way to merge accounts in the future — but don't count on it
• Limit of 3 verified accounts coming in the future
• ID submission required for verification — no exceptions

Coming Up

• World Cup activation
• Snipe the Summer — different rules this time, may be tested before launch
• Memorial Day gift

bad_mickeymouse: Can we implement a way to block someone who has blocked you?

• Zach: Working on this

garyguitarnut: When the new audio comes out, will users be able to use an iRig?

• Zach: Believe so — we have them in office that we're testing with

jaequee: Bigger creators are stealing game ideas and getting the credit

• Zach: In the future there will be a system for establishing game modes, but this is a pretty universal problem in social media
