Heeeeelloooo everyone!
We’ve got some big news for you today! It’s reaaadyyy!! 2v2 is getting (un)released today!! O_O
Why “(un)released” you ask? Good question! We heard from many players that they wanted 2v2 as soon as possible, but we also really want to keep developing this mode with big changes, to make it the best it can possibly be. We think some players wouldn’t like a game mode getting such massive changes, and might get upset if we changed things around too much. So it looked like we could only either: 1) Delay the release, and upset some players, or 2) Throw it out there and keep working on it, which would upset some players. We couldn’t figure out a good way to go about it, until we came up with what we think is the best solution: 3) Give players the choice!
So we are now adding what we call “Unreleased Features”, which you can choose to unlock from the game’s main screen. These are experimental features that are still being heavily worked on, of which 2v2 is the first. These features will start out as fairly unbalanced, they might easily break, and they will keep evolving heavily in upcoming updates. If you don’t like these sorts of things, you can simply ignore the button and keep enjoying the game as before. But if you want to get your hands on these features early, and help us make them even better by giving your thoughts and feedback, you’re just a button click away :)
Another feature being added this update is the new “Refer a friend” system. The idea is to let you easily introduce a friend to the game, and both you and the referred friend gain a nice bonus. The system is set up to be super simple, all you need is to send your friend your friend ID, which they can simply enter on the “Redeem Bonus Code” menu in the shop. This will grant you both some bonus crystals, and your referred friend will also get some premium time and a deck slot to get them going. There is only one requirement, which is that your friend must be level 5 to redeem the referral bonus. Also, to be fair to our veteran players, we have made getting referred available to all legacy accounts as well, so all older accounts will also be able to get referred once.
We’ve also added spawners now creating newly spawned units at the same position they are at, so you can strategically plan your positioning right from the start. Here’s the (short) changelist:
Miscellaneous
- Added refer a friend system
- Made spawners use grid position for positioning when spawning new units
- Added an option to unlock unreleased & experimental features before release
- Added 2v2 in experimental mode, need to unlock experimental features to access
- Added more languages to CrowdIn
We’re super excited to be getting 2v2 out there so early already, and we’re really looking forward to your feedback on it! Our goal is to keep iterating on it until it’s the very best it can be, so please share your ideas and let us know your thoughts!
