Purpose

To stabilize the newly introduced achievements and reward tier systems with updated parameters, and inconsistencies observed during recent feature expansion.

Key Highlights

🏅 Achievement System Stabilization (Phase 2)

• Backend achievement triggers refined to reduce misfires during edge cases (draws, reconnect wins, forfeits).
• Achievement state persistence improved—users now consistently retain unlocked badges across sessions.
• Event-based triggers (win streaks, comeback scenarios) revalidated against historical match logs.

📊 Stats & Achievement Sync Improvements

• Player dashboard now pulls unified data source for stats + achievements (previous mismatch resolved).
• Background reconciliation job added to correct legacy stat inconsistencies.
• Early-stage caching layer introduced to reduce repeated heavy stat queries.

Why It Matters

• Stabilized achievements improve trust in reward systems and prevent user frustration.
• Improved stat consistency strengthens credibility of rankings and player history.

Open Issues

• Some achievement triggers still delayed under high concurrency conditions.
• XP cap tuning may feel restrictive for highly active users—needs balancing.
• Legacy matches (pre-achievement system) not fully reflected in user progress.

Fixed

• Achievement duplication bug (same badge awarded multiple times) resolved.
• Stats API timeout spikes reduced through partial caching implementation.

Next Steps

• Complete migration of legacy match data into achievement system.
• Fine-tune XP caps and reward pacing based on user activity patterns.

• Expand achievement categories (fair play, tournament performance).
