Cryptid Hunter Updates

Greetings Cryptid Hunters,

🛠️ I'm excited to share some necessary updates and fixes aimed at enhancing the stability and performance of our bot. Here’s a detailed look at what’s new and what’s changed:

Important Notice: Due to a significant update, I will need to reset user data. This reset is crucial to prevent the bot from crashing. I apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding and support.

Bug Fixes:

-Resolved an issue where long battles overflowed the chat log.
-Corrected a bug where the daily rewards gave excessively high numbers of expedition resets.
-Implemented restrictions to prevent the use of profane language in user nicknames.

Changes and Adjustments:

-Adjusted the effect of fruits to now grant a 1.08% increase to a cryptid’s stats, down from 1.50%.
-Modified the progression of cryptid difficulty in expeditions, ensuring challenges are tough but not impossible at later levels.
-Enhanced the expedition command to allow for retroactive participant selection, making it easier to start expeditions quickly. Commands like !expedition 1 1 and !e 1 1 now auto-select the first participant.
-Introduced a new command, !cooldowns or !coo, to check active cooldowns.
-Merged the !vote and !votec commands into a single streamlined !vote command.

Visual Enhancements:

-Added unique emojis for each expedition type visible in the !expedition view command.
-Revised the display of large numbers, replacing commas with letter suffixes (e.g., 1,000 is now shown as 1K).
-Updated the formatting of the !viewc, !view, and !inventory commands to improve readability and consistency.

I hope these updates improve your experience and make each cryptid hunt even more thrilling. Your feedback is always welcome, as it helps me refine and enhance the bot continuously.

Thank you for your continued support and happy hunting!
