It's been one week since Duelyst II entered public beta, and we're in awe at the number of people who have already started playing! After collecting data, gathering your feedback, and playing alongside you, we've decided to push forward a number of improvements to Duelyst II's progression system, specifically targeting early card acquisition.
In addition, this upcoming patch will resolve a number of high priority bugs, including issues with starter deck unlocks, legacy queue, and more.
Faction Progression
We've increased the number of rewards earned from faction progression and Solo Challenges to provide players with a more consistent stream of resources to expand their collection. As a part of this, you'll be rewarded for each faction level reached. In addition, we're introducing Faction Orbs - a new kind of Spirit Orb earned through leveling up factions.
Existing accounts will be credited with additional rewards according to their current progression, equal to what would have been earned through this new system.
Faction Orbs
Faction Orbs are a new addition to the faction progression system. Unlike regular Core Set Spirit Orbs, which can contain any Core Set card, cards in Faction Orbs are guaranteed to contain only cards from their faction and the neutral card pool.
These won't be available in the Shop, but appear periodically as level up rewards for each faction.
Ranked Specials
We're addressing confusion surrounding the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Ranked Special bundles. These will now always be visible in the shop and be made available for purchase once the respective rank is achieved.
Kickstarter Rewards
We'd like to apologize for the issues around delivering Kickstarter reward codes. We've since upgraded our mailing solution, and were able to confirm all emails were sent by December 20th to backers that had responded to their survey. If you have responded to the survey since then, please contact [email protected]
More details will be coming in the patch notes when we release this patch on December 27th!
