Server Maintanance

Hi All,

We will be conducting some long overdue server maintenance and upgrading at 10 Am Easter Standard Time (15:00 Server time) tomorrow Monday the 16th of December.

Downtime is expected to be for several hours, we don't have an exact time when we expect to be back up so we ask you to check in from time to time.  We do not expect any unusual behaviour or loss of progress, but please if you have any issues send a bug report to: support@kingdomsccg.com.

Guild War Fix!

Hi all,

We just fixed the tier issue for all guilds and put guilds back in their proper tiers according to end of the last full season.  We also last night rewarded all those that missed their Gem rewards from the last full season.

There are some know issues with what we did:

1) The guild leader board tier icons will be wrong until the end of this season since that is stored in another piece of data and is hard to change.

2) The guild tier in the guild profile popup will be wrong as well (same reason as above) but will be updated at the end of this season.

3) Your guilds will have the same wars as before the restart to fix the tiers, and will switch to wars with guilds in your tier at the next round (in 10h from this post) start.

4) The aggregate points in each league may be incorrect, but we had to count the current points total for each guild independent on where those points where gained during this season.

12/07/2013

Last Guild War Season

We are fully aware that the recent issues surrounding guild wars has created incorrect demotions and promotions of guilds as well as rewards.   

We are actively looking into a solution to get this resolved but do not at this time have a time frame for when a possible correction will occur.  

At minimum we guarantee that any guild member that was not rewarded gems when he/she should have been will be compensated.  We will update here when we have further news.

Patch v0.9.7 is Live!

v0.9.7* Dev Notes

Hi All!

We've been super busy as of late preparing the iPad version as well as versions for other countries so we apologize for the lack of updates. That said we are thrilled to bring you patch v0.9.7 which includes a LOT of bug fixes, new music and sfx, a VIP system and more!

New Music and SFX

We have finally created new music and sound effects for the game, complete list to come.

VIP System

We have added a VIP system to reward players whom buy gems. First reward is a legendary card and you need to purchase a total of 100 Gems to receive him, and then there is various other unlocks as you spend more. This has been added as a thank you to all our supporters. It will only start counting after the next update.
General Amar - Whenever this creature deals damage to enemy hero: Summons a creature card from your hand into an empty ally slot. If no empty slots, enemy hero loses 2 ^ instead

New 10 Card packs

We have decided to update the packs to now contain 10 cards, this to match draft and sealed packs. So each pack (silver core is excluded) now contains 6 Commons, 3 Uncommon and 1 Guaranteed rare or better card.

New Pack pricing

With the change in Pack composition we also reviewed the cost structure and have decided to now go with the following three price tiers.
Core:
- Single: 10 gems or 5,000 Gold.
- 3 Pack: 25 gems
Older Sets (Currently Eve and Rise):
- Single 15 gems or 7,500 Gold
- 3 Pack: 39 gems
- 10 Pack: 109 Gems
Latest Set:
- Single: 25 gems
- 3 Pack: 69 gems
- 10 Pack: 199 gems

Guild War Battles

Hi all,

Guild War battles should now be fixed, again. We apologize for the inconvenience but the bug was a bit tricky to track down. It should be back up and working as intended.

The current wars will end when the season timer at the top hits 6 days left (as of this post, about 22h left) and we are looking at a permanent fix that would prevent this from happening again.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Happy battling :)

v0.9.6.3 Dev Notes

Pushed @ 5:15PM EST on August 6th, 2013

Progressive Login System

After much debate we decided to remove the previous progressive login system and introduce a new one. The previous system was too much of a double edged sword. People loved when it grew, but hated as soon as they lost it.
The new system is much friendlier and works as follows:
- players now just need to login X times during one month
- 10 times = 20 gems
- 20 times = A random Core Epic

Advanced Tutorials

We have added 7 advanced tutorials, these can be accessed on the world map. Each completed tutorial rewards a core premium pack.

Guild Honor Earn

We have increased the Honor earn for each guild tier as follows.
- Bronze: 2 Honor per win, 2 honor per defense
- Silver: 3 Honor per win, 2 honor per defense
- Gold: 3 Honor per win, 2 Honor per defense
- Epic: 3 Honor per win, 3 Honor per defense

Guild Tier Advancement bonus

We have added a bonus that gets paid to all members of a guild that advances to a higher tier at the end of the season. Payout is as follows.
Bronze to Silver: 1st: 20 Gems per player, 2nd: 15 Gems per player, 3rd: 10 Gems per player
Silver to Gold: 1st: 30 Gems per player, 2nd: 25 Gems per player, 3rd: 20 Gems per player
Gold to Epic: 1st: 40 Gems per player, 2nd: 35 Gems per player, 3rd: 30 Gems per player

Guild EPIC league Gem rewards

We are now rewarding each guild a pot of Gems in EPIC league at the end of season based on placement as follows:
- 1st: 800 Gems
- 2nd: 650 Gems
- 3rd: 500 Gems
- 4th: 400 Gems
- 5th: 350 Gems
- 6th: 300 Gems
- 7th: 250 Gems
- 8-10th: 200 Gems

Patch v0.9.5 is Live! Including New Card Set, Guild Update and much more!

v0.9.5 Dev Notes

Pushed @ 5:15 on 6/19/13

Deck Editor Improvements

- We have added a new feature to the deck editor that will allow you to browse all cards. When in this mode you will be able to add non-lockable cards to your deck to test in a versus mode, and purchase directly from there if satisfied. This will be the true 'try before you buy' model and streamline adding specific cards to your deck
- The filter/searching system has been reworked to be a lot more specific. All the filter buttons at the bottom have been moved to a single filter button that brings up a bunch of checkbox options to allow you to look much more specific for certain cards. You can select multiple sets/abilities/mana costs/types/rarities etc

Tournaments

Schedule Changes
- Credit drafts now start every half hour as opposed to every 10 minutes.
- After this push Tournaments will be disabled for a few hours to make sure the patch went smoothly. They will be re-enabled shortly after.
Time Waster
Added a work in progress mini game to the Tournament panel (once inside a tournament). It should help pass time in between those long rounds :)

Guilds

General
- Fixed bug with member applicant renderer messing up with more than 8 applicants
- Max battles per war per player increased to 30
- Guild news feed formatting cleaned up a little
Fight Everyone
- Players now must battle each member of the opposing guild during a war. Each player will randomly pick people from the opposing member list until they've battled everyone once, then it will reshuffle that list so the order is unknown
Everyone Counts! (to a degree)
Now all players will contribute to the overall score of a guild during a war, however it is weighted based on the position in the war
- Score ranks 1 to 5 contribute 100% of their points earned
- Score ranks 6 to 10 contribute 50% of their points earned
- Score ranks 11 to 15 contribute 20% of their points earned
This will increase the maximum points in a war from 100 to a potential 255
Defense Bonuses!
- Now when players return to the guild screen, if they defended against an opponent they will receive a popup saying how well they did (to a max of the last 100 battles since last check in).
- They will then earn 1 bonus honor per successful defending!
More Stats and War Summary
- You will now be able to view recent wars and the results of them. In addition to this there will also be an offensive/defensive tab on the participants panel which will show how individuals held up in the respective categories. In addition to this there will be two toggles to: Show Attempts as well as Show Enemy. These will show the total tries in addition to the points as well as the opposing guild's scores.
Max 3 Wars
- Max wars was reduced from 4 to 3 to make room in the UI and streamline the system for the upcoming League feature.
Unlock Cards
- Arsenal cards will now be placed under the guild rewards section instead of the dynamic market or crafting, and available for honor. All Rare and Uncommon guild reward cards have also had their Gem prices adjusted to be more in line with other cards in the game. This is the first of MANY guild changes coming in the near future!
- Uncommons will be set at 300 honor or 10 Gems
- Rares will be set at 1250 honor or 30 Gems
(honor prices are subject to change as we review the guild feature as a whole)
- Precious Ring has been added as a guild reward
Guild Leagues!
And so it begins. Guild leagues have been added. Important note: We do not have the resources to fully test the league system, so we are attaching the Beta warning to this feature until all bugs are ironed out. We appreciate your patience. Now onto the good stuff. Much information has been previewed about this, but to recap:

Arena Changes

Match Making
We have switch backed to the 30 second count down match making, and if no opponent it will go directly into an AI fight to streamline the arena battles
Beginner Arena Returns!
We are bringing back the beginner arena, which served as a great stepping stone for new players getting into the pvp arena. It will replace the rotating arena (which served as a placeholder until tournaments arrived). The new beginner arena will be AI only and use the Limited rule set.
