Legends of Runeterra Dev Tracker

Hi S00pahFr0g! Great name.

I am on the LOR team!

What deck was I playing when we battled?

We'll have to see how the quests we've created for LoR work out. We fully intend to curate them and add more over time.

As a last note, we want there to be non-trivial XP on losses. Right now it's pretty paltry because we don't have protections in to avoid abuse cases, but once we have those, legitimate losses will be a decent source of XP.

Here you go!

Yep, you'll continue to have access for the next one!

Thanks for going into it a bit more!

We definitely don't want people feeling miserable if they didn't play for a day. The current quest system will let you bank up to 3 quests, so you only have to play every three days for totally optimal XP. We have ideas on how we'd take this further in the future if needed.

How much quests warp gameplay and in what ways is something we have thought about a lot. We've tried to make our quests generally aligned with winning, though if you're REALLY min-maxing them, it can still lead to some odd plays. We're trying to strike a balance for the people who love them as inspiration to try something new or only want to play a couple games a day (this is a lot of players), and those who'd rather play their own way no matter what.

While it doesn't totally solve the feeling that there's value on the table, our game-win XP is very high relative to quests compared to genre norms. Hopefully this helps at least a little.

We tried to make it clear in the pop up that happens after the tutorials when you get the wildcards, but I don't think we were explicit enough.

Trying to compensate by working it in where I can answering questions. Apparently in all caps sometimes..

I'm most drawn to Piltover/Zaun, so I end up spending most of my time there (with occasional excursions to other parts of Runeterra.)

Fun story - pastrytime played so much on one of our early iterations that he went went past all the available levels and broke the system.

This team has the most obscure collection of CCGs I've ever seen. I had no idea there were so many.

We have an early roadmap

up on our website, which covers the first two preview patches as well as early 2020!

tl;dr - Our next preview patch will focus on Expeditions, our take on a limited draft mode. Will also include constructed, and everything currently available in this preview as well. Early next year, we'll be back with closed beta, which will include ranked and a new set of boards and guardians.

This is good feedback, and lines up with how a lot of us have felt in testing...we just couldn't get anything done about it in time for this preview patch.

We've got a couple changes designed out already, and I'm sure we'll tweak those based on feedback we get from this preview. No promises on when they make it into the game, but it's something we really want to do.

Yeah, this is something we'll have to address one way or another. It's pretty painful.
