v0.8.4 Dev Notes

Pushed @ 3:30pm EST 9/28/12

New Bundles

The old Starter bundle has been removed and 2 new bundles have been added: The Bard Bundle and the Dragon Bundle. They can each be purchased once per account.
Bard Bundle
For $10 or 100 Kreds you will receive:
- 3x Core Packs

Heroes

Grovenhold
- Now has 15 HP (was 16) and 1 mana (was 0)

Guilds

Honor
We overcompensated a bit too much on the last update with Honor reward amount on a loss and suffered a decrease in competitiveness as a result. In order to restore that competitiveness, we lowered the loss amount to 50% of what you earned and 100% for a victory. Future guild upgrades may affect these values.
Chat Icons
Now the players in the first place guild will have a special legendary chat guild icon. Players in guilds ranked 2 and 3 will have an epic chat guild icon.

Bugs/Minors

- A deck slot save issue has been fixed where sometimes it overwrites your first slot

v0.8.3 is Live!

v0.8.3 Dev Notes

Currently in development. Scheduled for 9/21/12

Battle Mechanics

Corpses
Corpses now last an additional half turn, meaning each player will have a full turn to try and interact with it. Corpses will clear at the beginning of players turns now instead of after the attack phase.

Guild

- Guild card unlock requirements were reduced a fair amount

Hero Tweaks

Dravkas
- Dravkas is getting a bit of a rework as we found he lead to a pretty narrow (and not the most fun) strategy with the essentially free board wipe (Replicate & Shrapnel blast). We are reworking Replicate and Shrapnel Blast. Current details:
*Re-designed* Replicate:
- new name "Assemble"
Destroy target ally gear; summon an X/X Alchemy Construct in a random ally slot where X is the gear's Mana cost. It gains [1,2,3] random abilities.
- Costs [4,4,4] Charges
*Re-designed* Shrapnel Blast:
- new name "Master Artificer"
Whenever an ally gear with Mana cost [5,4,3] or more enters, Dravkas gains 1 HP, 1 Charge or 1 Mana.
- Passive

Card Tweaks

CORE
Wild Behemoth
This guy got a rather large rework. We felt it was far too punishing and had too much of a random chance, which lead to not seeing much play. The new version is as follows:
This creature can't be set to Defend mode. On attack: deals 1 physical damage to your Hero.
Abilities: Splash, Armor and Unblockable Intimidate and Overrun
EVE
Mage's Ring
Mana costs of your Spell cards is reduced by 1
- Mana cost increased to 3 (was 2)
Glass Sword
On enter/On your turn: your Hero deals 1 physical damage to enemy Hero. Destroy this gear when your Hero is dealt any damage

Bugs/Minors

- Cancel Ability button is now accessible in Advanced Casting Mode
- Baleful Mist - Fixed a few interaction bugs
- Featured pack and cards changed

v0.8.2 is Live!

v0.8.2 Dev Notes

Pushed @ 5:05pm EST on 9/18/12

Guild Honor

We reworked the honor system to be a little more generous. Players will now earn full honor on a guild loss. If a guild is victorious, each member will earn 10% bonus honor. We felt it was too punishing to not give any honor.
With these changes we bumped the honor prices of the uncommon and rares slightly to (300 and 1250 from 250 and 1000 respectively)

First Turn Advantage

We ran some data on first turn advantage, and while it's not as crazy as everyone thinks (56%) we felt a small nudge is needed to get it down to an even 50%. Therefore, the player who goes first will no longer receive Charges on their first turn.

Chat Moderators

We now have chat moderator support. They will be seen with a red M icon. They will be fair and just, and prevent any vulgar/abusive or spam activity and have the ability to disable your chat. Please be respectful to all players and moderators.

Bugs/Minors

- Battle tab now shows who you're battling
- Fixed a bug with Guild point calculation on War win/loss. Should be accurate to the Wiki now.
- Player component got spruced up to show honor and guild rank in it
- You can now private message players across different rooms properly
- Featured pack changed to (Eve - Dark Alliance) Cards changed to (Mage's Mantle, Hero Ring, Omni Cloak)
- New splash screen

v0.8.1 is live!

v0.8.1 Dev Notes

Currently in development.

Guilds

Slots full issue
When a guild sends an invite out to a player, it reserves the slot in their guild. Thats why some guilds say they're full when they have 11/15 members. We have now added the pending members under the membership page. From there, the guild will be able to cancel the request, freeing up the slot.

Bugs/Minors

- 1009 error during guild wars when news lists update is fixed
- Fixed the guild scrolling issue in the leaderboard
- Jorma's Undertow can now target ally creatures as intended
- Guild rank is now shown properly in guild component
- added better error handling for guilds
