Update 9.6.0

This is a very large update containing a lot of really great changes for users at every skill level. Enjoy!

Streaming Simulator

This feature is meant to start slow, and start snowballing if you keep your streak (and stream) alive long term.

- New pls stream command

- 8 Streaming specific items item:camera: item:microphone: item:mouse: item:keyboard: item:soundcard: item:ringlight: item:greenscreen: item:headphones:

- To start streaming you need to buy two items from the shop: item:keyboard: and a item:mouse:

- rest of the items you can only get from sponsors ('collect donations' action)

--- amount of sponsors is based on your stream streak (stream daily!)

--- Each of these items has its own functionality within the stream command, you must pls use <item> to activate them and they will last 6 hours

- you need to interact with your stream every 10 minutes, your stream will end after 30 minutes without any interaction. Some items change these values.

- Each day a different game is secretly trending (resets 0:00 UTC), guess the trending game to receive 2x money from ads

- Once your stream ends, you will have 30 minutes cooldown to start another stream

- There are 3 actions to run while the stream is live

--- Collect Donations: Ask your sponsors for donations, this is where you get the streaming items. This has a chance to end your stream.

--- Run Ads: Get money based on how many viewers you have, has a chance to end your stream.

--- Read Chat: Keeps your stream going with a much lesser chance to end your stream.

You can run pls tutorial stream to see this again within your server as a refresher

Trade Overhaul

The trade command has finally left beta status and has been completely overhauled. Read carefully!

- Trade command now supports a very flexible system including multiple items on either side.

--- Syntax: pls trade <your offer> , <someone's offer> <@user>

----- Example, I want to trade 500m coins and 5 banknotes for someone's 3 apples and 5 god boxes: pls trade 500m 5 banknote, 3 apple 5 god @user

----- Running trade without args will show you more examples

----- If you're STILL confused on the syntax, we built you a command generator for this: dankmemer.lol/trade

- As mentioned before, now that trade is out of beta, it includes tax (IMPORTANT tax changes also in the section below)

Tax Changes

We've raised the tax amount to further reduce inflation, but more importantly, we've changed how tax works as a whole when sharing and trading, and you need to know about it

- Tax is now automatically taken from the SENDER'S wallet.

--- Example: I want to send @badosz 500k coins. I will now only have to run pls share 500k @badosz and Badosz will get 500k. BUT, it will take 525k from my wallet to include tax. This makes it simpler when not worrying about paying tax.

- We've updated the taxcalc command to show how this works AND we've added a new section to the command to show how to still do it the old way. Try out taxcalc if you haven't already

- Raised tax from 3% to 5%.

- Patrons still don't pay tax, including in the trade command if they're the one sending money

Achievement System

This is a new aspirational system to collect rewards in exchange for doing specific tasks. This has easier things for new users, and harder things for veterans

- New pls achievements command

- There are currently 40 achievements to earn, more could come later

- Achievements don't reset on prestige/omega

- A lot of you will earn a ton of achievements as soon as the update releases, pog!

- Due to conflicting triggers, the pls achievement image command has been temporarily removed and will return in a future update

Pet Prestiges

- Pet prestige resets your whole pet (besides pet type and name) and gives 1 pet prestige level

- Normal prestige and omega reset your pet prestige

- Pets with prestige, after running away, can be found again

--- Depending on prestige level you have x days to find your pet

--- You can find your pet using the search command (it is a low chance)

Other Changes

- Showcase now properly mentions saving items from Omega

- Bot now informs you when double XP weekends start

- When you use an item, the bot now tells you how much of this item you have left

- Prestige doesn't use roman numerals anymore to be less confusing

- New omega & prestige requirements UX

- Bot now reply-pings in rare events (catch the dragon etc)

- Diaper and sand now work as intended

- New "mail" alias to message command

- Changes to Shareable items

--- Now Shareable: Patreon box, new player pack, anti-rob pack, grind pack,

--- Not Shareable anymore: wedding gift, prestige pack

--- These changes are mainly for people that collect items, all items are now obtainable either by trading or playing the bot (marriage, prestige, etc)

- All notifications with server name include now server id as well

- Bigger levels are now properly formatted in profile command (e.g. 1,000)

- Added marriage cooldown to profile command

- Most jobs had their required hours reduced by at least 1 hour, some by more than 1

- Updated some old hidden youtube links, and added a few new ones (the true endgame is finding these obviously)

- Added Patreon badge for $20+ patrons, you'll keep this even past your sub not existing unlike any other perks

- You now get a warning if your pet's love is below 10% (while running commands)

- Pet embed now shows the time remaining of passing out cooldown

- New Gainlog Command

--- Just like losslog command, but for gaining coins

--- Old things won't be there, only new gains as of this update

- New Crime badge

- New collector stats page in profile command. The unobtainable badges (such as dev, tester, etc) are not counted towards your progress on badges.

- TTT now displays which emoji (O or X) you are

- New custom pet ran away messages for different types (example: the rock ROLLS away rather than running)

- Prestige now has an 8-hour cooldown

- Added a more expensive showcase slot, number 6

- Raised the min bet amount to 1k

- Titles in the title command are sorted alphabetically now

- Reduced badge reqs for pet fights and slots

- New Tutorial Command

--- Run it with pls tutorial <command name> to see the "first time running" tutorial again

- Pet XP Tweaks

--- You can interact with your pet once a stat is below 90 (previously 80)

--- Bumped XP for playing with a pet a bit

- If you lose/win in blackjack, the command will show you your winning/losing percentage

- If you update your title now, leveling up will not change it

- Moved around later marriage perks, and added a week 25 perk

- Smarter number parsing

--- Supported "fancy" ways of writing numbers: 1k 5m 5b 5t 1_000_000 1e3

--- Commands affected: buy, sell, trade, deposit, gamble, scratch, share, slots, snakeeyes, taxcalc, withdraw, blackjack, connect4, fight, petfight and tictactoe

- Added back dragon pet availability with some tweaks to what's required

- Changed some shop prices to better suit lower-end players (As far as money availability goes). This includes lowering the price of pepes and pepecoins. These are now more considered flex items for the newer players.

- Added tutorials for the following commands: compare, craft, drop, marriage, redeem, showcase, use, title

- GTN now gives 500 coins on a win instead of 200. Yes, this is still small, it's a GAME command, not a grind command.

- Padlocks no longer are active for a year, only for 30 days. This shouldn't affect most people and will clear up confusion on the expiry of this item.

- When pls shop item doesn't have a buy value, it's not an ugly dash anymore

- Probably some small QoL changes we forgot to write down, this is a large update so things sometimes get missed lol

- Various bug fixes
