Oh, did the article explaining rotation come out already? I'm gonna be honest, I completely missed it (Age of Wonders 4 and Tears of the Kingdom have been slightly consuming my life). I am still very curious as to why healing was removed from Freijord's identity, as I found cards like Kindly Tavernkeeper to be very healthy for the metagame and not at all problematic.
I totally feel this. I feel like we're living in a golden age of gaming atm, there are so many good games coming out all of the time. Tears of the Kingdom is definitely distracting me and I can't wait for FF16 to finally drop.
On the topic of rotation though... We have an article that is a Live-stream Summary
and although not rotation specific, we do have a r...
I posted some additional context from the design team on the new cards over here if y'all wanna check it out!
We'll also have more info on the subtypes in the patch notes tomorrow :)!
Note: We’ve hit a small malfunction with the billions of porobots that make up our website– we have a localized article with this information coming out soon but wanted to get some important context to you all ASAP-
Check out all of the new cards being added in the upcoming patch. Full Patch Notes can be found here tomorrow, May 23rd with full details of upcoming content and all of the Eternal Balance changes being introduced. As a small exciting addition to this patch we’re introducing four new subtypes. Full details on those can be found in the Full Patch Notes as well!
Also, check out the cards at the following sites:
Read moreThanks for the reply. It's just something I've been looking forward to for a while, because I really want to get my friends into this wonderful game, but I can't in good conscience do that right now. Can I ask: Is 4.5 scheduled for 2 weeks from now? Or a month from now?
If no extenuating circumstances happen, 4.5 is probably roughly a month away!
That's great news. Just to follow up, what about weekly vaults and region track, will they offer mix of Standard and Eternal cards or just Standard?
You can still receive a mix, but it is weighted more heavily towards Standard!
As you get more Standard-legal cards, the rate at which you see Eternal cards will increase.
lol damn, I was gonna try to get some friends into the game with free cards and rotation. Oh well. Another month until the game is playable for new players.
Our hope with having it in the Store in 4.5, is that you can get you can feel empowered to invite your friends, maybe help them along with PoC and teaching them the ropes with the peace of mind knowing we'll get y'all a big influx of play-making capabilities with those free starter decks in the store soon.
Once we have the tutorial updated with the new decks, we'll take them out of the store, but they will be indeed free for all players until then.
"We do still intend to release the Glory in Navori ranked icons before the end of the season--- but we will do it in the next patch notes (Along with Live Balance changes)!"
Does this mean the Ranked season is indeed longer than the in-game calendar that says it ends on April 22nd?
You're totally right!
If you go check in-game now it should have the proper end-date for the ranked season now ( June 28th) .
Wait...is this the first time they released the ranked icon reward beforehand? They usually do it just before ranked reset.
Stepping in here!
We made a small mistake in the Patch Notes and are updating it. The "Letter" themed Icons were actually the rewards for Beta Season. The World Ender icon's are not being distributed again.
We do still intend to release the Glory in Navori ranked icons before the end of the season--- but we will do it in the next patch notes (Along with Live Balance changes)!
Apologies for the confusion.
Stay at max 8, veiled temple doesn't ramp you up I don't see why this should.
You're correct, max mana would stay at 8, this wouldn't ramp you!
As many people have surmised, the coin cost does not increase the higher it stacks.
It stays at 1. So you could theoretically spend all 10 mana, use 1 spell mana to play the '10-stack coin card' in your hand and recover all 10 mana again. Assuming your Coin doesn't get Pranked or have its cost increased another way >_>
I've been saying this since Victor release - Rito need to organize their keywords. Make different categories, like "soup" keywords - i'e' something you can get randomly, "we're to lazy to write it every time" keywords for something like attach and attune, "bad words" for something negative and so on.
We actually did make the distinction internally and published an article on it, but it doesn't seem to be well known. You can check it out here
Read moreWe’ve got several things in the works, much of which is in active development, while others are still being investigated. We can’t go into too much detail at this time, but we’re working on:
Matchmaking Improvements for Rumbles
Free Build and other new formats
Friend Challenge for existing Rumble formats
Updates to Masters Ranked LP Formula
Adding Tournament Style Open Decklists to Best of 3 Rumbles & Opens
Improving ways to show off your collectible rewards
Experimental mystery event
Grassroots Tournament Program
I personally think the LP bugs, especially in APAC, should be the #1 priority being worked on.
After that, the Rumble matchmaking improvements, friend challenges for Rumble formats, and open decklists for Rumbles are features that should have been considered part of the beta and it baffles me that they launched the beta, much less the official release, without these....
We think APAC LP is a major issue too.
Jon Moorman had a really long twitter thread detailing why it was so complicated and the issues we've been running into. (He even predicted/called out the potential downfall of our previous fix attempt)
For full transparency, when we authored the competitive 2.0 article we weren't certain if our proposed solutions would make it in time for the patch.
Good news though, is that the team is confident we'll have a new system in place for LP gain in Masters in the upcoming patch coming out ...
Read moreAs a software dev myself..... how can such a problem be so hard to fix? How can it even exist, since when should LP gaining be regional?! :o
You've uncovered something interesting! That's the stick of it, the system isn't regional- which begs the question why is it only happening in APAC? It's a whole rabbit hole, I received a brief explanation on it and it made me a bit dizzy.
Thankfully though, my job is to chat with y'all and not figure that out!
For context, you can read one of our designers in-depth tweet about it
Ultimately though, we've been working diligently on it and are planning to have a new system in place with the next patch, details to come w...
Read moreAnivia will continue to haunt my dreams.
You're right! This is a bug!
The team is working to fix it, and it should be live in an upcoming patch!
Wanted to document this in hopes of having the team see. It's super minor, but still, worth mentioning.
To Plinq, Brian, and Julian -- thank YOU for an amazing stream <3
Thank -YOU- for tuning in. Stopping in to let you know we see you and the thread! Thanks for having an eagle eye
No mention of what the ranked icons for this season are. Guess we’ll just find out tomorrow. We’ve had less and less advanced notice of that and it’s a real bummer. You can only get one and sometimes, the lower ones are cooler.
This is a good call out and something we can definitely work on. I'll definitely bring this up to the wider team!
Is it me or do these editors notes seem like they're written by an old guy trying to sound cool to teenagers?
Also lol at riot acting like fixing a power that was just straight up broken 100% of the time and did nothing (after over a month?) was worth tooting their own horn for "listening to the community" over. :D
Super excited for path updates though, its nice to see them actually adding and balancing things outside the usual few new champs per set.
