This update brings 27 new cards: 2 legendary, 6 epic, 12 rare and 7 common, a rework of the collection filters, and a new round of card/mechanics reworks and balance changes.
This update will be live on Thursday, March 30th, in the following interval:
- 10 AM - 10:30 AM CET
- 1 AM - 1:30 AM PST
- 4 AM - 4:30 AM EST
- 5 PM - 5:30 PM China Standard Time
One major change we're doing in this update is no longer allowing player activations after the match timer reaches zero.
As players familiar with the game may know, Bonus Shots/Passes generated after the timer reaches zero are not thrown unless the player who generated them activates. Well, we fixed this for internal testing, and it revealed a deeper problem related to activation post final buzzer. In the current state of the game, with Bonus Shots/Passes generated post buzzer not being thrown, we get 0-4 extra post buzzers activation. With the above mentioned fix in, this quickly got out of hand, and we often had games with 5+ post buzzer activations.
With all the extra Bonus Shots/Passes there were more opportunities for steals and offensive rebounds, which generate Turn Meter, which generates activations. Each activation generates more opportunities for generating Turn Meter or Bonus Shots/Passes. The cycle repeats too much for our liking, and just feels uncanny. Due to this interaction, we made the decision to remove post buzzer activations. The match will now end immediately after the final buzzer.

Chriz Paull was all over the place design wise. His attributes were not in line with Will players, and his skill/passive kit was a mix of both buffs and debuffs, but without a clean synergy. These changes focus him on buffing and passing. We expect him to become the build around legendary for buffing decks.
