Warning regarding player marks update

Some time ago [url=/forum/topics/721262]we changed the way players' marks (for example the Talent mark) were updated[/url].

Besides the changed talent mark criteria, the mark update now no longer runs as a part of the season update break.

By moving tasks (such as the player marks update) out of the season update, we can reduce the season update duration - and in the longer term eliminate the need for a break altogether.

While the player mark update runs the player marks are removed from all players, new marks are calculated, and hereafter assigned to the right players. Until now, the temporary removal of player marks has not been visible because the update ran during the season update. But last Sunday when the player update ran after the season break (in the background) the led to some confusion when the marks were temporarily removed.

In the coming weeks we work out a new way of assigning the marks so that they will not "disappear" temporarily. Hereafter, we will (if technically possible) setup the player mark update to run daily instead of weekly.

For now, you must all be aware of the fact that the marks will be removed temporarily while the mark update runs. The player mark update starts at 6pm (around 30 minutes after the site has reopened). The update will take around 30-60 minutes.

We will keep you informed about future improvements on this area.

Happy easter to you all :)
