This has been a challenging week in which we have achieved a lot, however we're really excited to be releasing an Achievements and Challenges update! :) Introducing new features, menu designs, statistics and much more, you'll love obtaining achievements and challenges in the future, read below and let us know what you think!
We've completely redesigned the entire achievements system. This new system allows us to add a lot more achievements than we were previously capable of handling. All achievements are split up into multiple categories which are able to be navigated around by clicking on the pages in the bottom left of the menu.
New achievements menu.
A new feature which has been added is the fact that you can now track your progress towards completing achievements.
Another neat little feature which we've added is all the achievements now have a difficulty. This is a guide of how hard/long it will take to complete that specific achievement, meaning that if you want to gain some quick achievements you can go for the easier ones, but if you're looking to complete 100% of the achievements, you'll be able to do so by going of some of our ridiculously hard achievements.
New achievement progress bar.
We've added statistics on how many achievements you've completed. Want to compete with your friends to get the most achievements? Want to get 100% of achievements? Well tracking your progress (and boasting how good you are) is much easier! :D

We've also completely reworked our entire challenge system too. But implementing more information about the daily challenges, changing icons and adding so many new features! Yay! :cool:
The new daily challenges show you everything that they used to, but now include a very useful timer, which counts down to tomorrows challenge, so you now know how long is left to complete that daily challenge.
New challenges menu.
We've added some more menus into the challenge system. You can now see a full breakdown of the games that you need to play to complete the challenge. Clicking on these while in a lobby will send you directly into one of these games.
New full breakdown challenge menu.
An awesome new feature added is streaks! You can see how many times you've completed a specific challenge, as well as what your current streak is and what your longest streak is. So if you like to keep your streaks high without breaking them, these new changes are perfect for you. They also help add more challenge into daily challenges, iconic :)
New daily challenge statistics.
Wait?! Did I do the easy daily challenge yesterday!? Well, no worries! You can now check how you performed at the last 30 days of challenges, in our fancy new daily challenge history menu!
New challenge history menu.
We heard you wanted a /challenges and /achievements command... So... We added them! :eek: You can now use those commands in the lobby, in the middle of a game or basically anywhere in the network. The awesome part about it, is that they live update! If you're in-game and you want to see how close you are to an achievement or what challenges you can complete, simply enter the command, the menu will appear and you can browse freely.
As usual, for the past month whilst we've been making awesome changes to the achievements and challenges, we've also been improving the rest of the network. With the help of the bug reporting community, most of our developers have been able to crack down on them pesky bugs. If you know of a bug on our network, report it here.
