##### Hey Keepers,

thank you so much for your feedback. I hope you can see that we really value that.
You might have noticed the fast patch pace. It's the weekend, no QA works at the moment. This means i can fix a lot of stuff, but also some things that i break are not caught before they reach you. So i really appreciate your plentiful bug reports. I'm around :)

Two big things are in this patch:

-  assignment challenge mode is easier now, closer to what it was on v4.0.0

-  fonts are not blurry anymore

Here is what's new for **v4.0.3**:

##### Balance and Changes

-  challenge assignments are back to "brutal" difficulty from "YAFI". The impact was too high. Feedback appreciated!

-  lowered assignment difficulty on some assignments

-  lowered final wave strength for most assignments

-  fonts should generally not be blurry anymore

-  changed anti stall mechanic. Instead of restarting the wave, the countdown to the next one will begin.

-  battle grid drones will now spawn even if bought during battle

-  drones can now pick up resources from converter and are a bit hardened against drops that are at invalid positions

##### Bugfixes

-  fixed shopping bag achievement not triggering

-  fixed repellents toxic fumes not dealing damage any more

-  fixed converter achievement not triggering when automated conversion is used
