💥 Key Points 💥
Upcoming Release Notes
Rebellion Reward Cards
The reward cards contained in the Reward section of the shop will be cycled to a new set of Rebellion era reward cards!
The base prices in the shop have will be increased slightly with this new reward set.
A Glint bonus will be added to the lower half of the leagues to make it a better ratio of wins to chests.
Upcoming Conflict
The 8th Conflict will be loaded, which will release the next player designed Summoner, Elias Max Pruitt, into the game.
Voucher Rework, Part 1
All of this section is the initial implementation of changes to vouchers per this passed proposal:
Vouchers will be combined into a single in-game Voucher token.
Vouchers may no longer be transferred out to Hive-Engine, but can still be transferred into the game.
The rewards for the SPS:Voucher pool will be ended.
Due to the nature of how Node License sales work and the removal of Vouchers from being on the SPS Chain, the Voucher discount/cost for purchasing those will be removed.
Land Updates
Will fix an issue with rented cards expiring and causing a forced harvest, when there’s not enough grain to do a harvest. This will now result in the harvest being lost if there is insufficient grain and the card is removed.
General Updates
A new 3-part quest will be presented for new players, to lead them to play the tutorial, do a Modern battle, and buy a spell book.
The Wild format button will be disabled for accounts that do not own spell books, as they have no way of purchasing a Wild Pass.
When changing a Summoner during Team Creation the mana filter will automatically reset.
Will fix an issue with battle results showing up early when Streamer mode is enabled.
Will make some changes/improvements to reminders that you have an outstanding match if you navigate away. You will now get a notification message on most screens, rather than being forced back to battle history.
The ability to list a set of Riftwatchers' cards will be added to the Set rentals. These will not be presented to new players, and have a minimum card level of 3 for common cards, 2 for rare cards, and 1 for epic & legendary cards.
Tournaments will list the results records for up to 1,000 places, instead of only the top 100.
The displayed card on the For Sale and For Rent tabs of card details will sync to the level filter, if a specific level is selected.
Will fix an issue where free-to-play accounts couldn’t be Challenged or issue Challenges.
Will add a notice on Tournaments with custom prizing that the tournament organizer is responsible for prize distribution.
