A new rule set, Shades of Gray, will be added. When this rule set is in play, only Neutral units may be selected for battle.
Land Updates
Will add a Regional balance history for land resources.
Tech Modernization
We will make some changes to how the client handles issues connecting to the server. There will be more of a distinction between the game being in maintenance mode versus an error connecting.
General Updates
The holding account for tournament prizes will be moved to a new account, used just for that purpose.
Affiliate Payments and Referrals will be changed to display as a scrolling list, instead of a series of tabs.
The funds burnt for additional energy will be tracked on the balance of the $ENERGY account. We will do our best to back populate the number for funds previously spent.
During team creation, when hovering over units selected for your team the cards will display.
Will remove the “Low Power” icon from displaying when you fall down a league in ranked play.
Will fix an issue with logged out users getting errors if they navigated directly to the battle history page. They will default to the Leaderboard tab, since there is no history of battles when you are not logged in.
Will remove a caching layer from the non-card market that wasn’t really needed to boost performance.
Items Hotfixed into the Game Prior to the Release
Fixed an issue with Kei being findable in packs prior to the end of the Conflict (shortly after the last update).
Updates from Matt
Ranked Reward Changes
Ranked reward changes scheduled to go live April 2nd
Instead of just directly earning chests, you will earn reward points called Glint to be used in the new reward shop
Options in the reward shop will include: reward cards, potions, energy, merits, limited edition titles
Or you can just save your Glint across seasons to make a larger purchase down the road
Will be changing gladiator cards to be burned for merits
Will be removing the focus system with the plan to create something more robust in the future
A post will come out before April 2nd with more details
Overhaul of the Ranked Battle System
It will take some time to settle in
Things will calm down over the next few weeks then we will see what issues need to be addressed
We are listening to the community feedback
Bots and Battle Helpers
The issue is that we have a limited amount of resources on our team
DAO proposals for resources could help to detect bots and battle helpers
As far as the issue of fewer players in modern since bots have been banned
goal is to get more players in the game
another idea is that the DAO votes to increase rewards in modern
another option is the team could create non spell book accounts at different levels and have them operated by bots (they would not take rewards)
Future Updates
One click set rentals
Onboarding experience
Mobile app
Marketing and promotion
April 17th Bitcoin halving promo card event
DAO proposal in the next few days
SPS validators
Starting in Q2 the plan is to put a team together to get validators live
