Hey everyone,
only one week after the last update, we’re back at it again with another one, just like good ol’ times! This time, we’re adding 2v2 Custom Matches, as well as lots of secondary improvements and fixes that will take us one step closer to release.
Custom 2v2 matches is something many players have asked for, and is now another (un)released feature. Just a reminder: You can access these (un)released features by clicking the big red “Unlock” button on the home screen. We’re also adding better previews for player levels, to give players a bit more long-term motivation and show them what the next level-ups will bring. The Leaderboard have gotten an overhaul, with many more categories, like 2v2 and all the PvE challange modes. These Leaderboards are also now seasonal by month, so if you’ve missed out last month, you can always shoot for the top in the next.
We’ve been listening very intently to player feedback about the game’s unlock progression, and also about the pricing of cards. Based on that feedback and our own testing, we’ve decided to modify the unlock scaling, so progression is more regular and not such a grind. For card pricing, we are raising low level cards’ prices slightly, and lowering high level cards’ prices greatly, by a whopping 50%.
To be fair to our veteran players, we’ll be giving anyone who previously bought high level cards the difference in price back as an instant bonus. We’ll also be deactivating Crystal tier ascension and queues for now, as those modes are going to stay reserved for post-release content. Again, to be fair, anyone who owns a Crystal card already will receive an additional Gold card of that type.
There are lots of other smaller fixes and improvements, as always you can find the full list below:
