addedIn the last few patches, we introduced the reputation system and tried to give players the experience of continued growth by showing change indicators on the top bar. However, we realized that players found the constant rise and fall of reputation stressing and distracting. This, coupled with the lack of proper feedback on exactly what had gone wrong during the player's evaluation of the item, has led only to frustration. This patch tries to fix this issue.

✨ When a card of an item in the inventory is changed, the card will be highlighted with an icon. A card with persistent effects or one that is potentially subject to change is also highlighted.
