Patch Notes V0.15.5

Mythgard - rhino_turbo

Prestige cards are here! Prestige cards are full-art versions of the cards with gold borders and a premium look. Prestige cards appear in card packs and can also be crafted, but they’re rarer than the regular versions of the cards and cost more essence to craft. We’ve also added thirteen new cards to the core set; check out Xelhua The Builder’s effects on artifacts or The Oak of Dodona’s grim foretellings.

Features & Bug Fixes

Prestige cards

Prestige cards are full art versions of regular cards
Each card in a pack has a chance to be upgraded to a prestige card with higher rarities having a higher chance to be upgraded
Prestige cards can be crafted from scratch using essence
Existing non-prestige cards can be upgraded to prestige using mythril
Prestige card text will auto-hide when not in focus (prestige card text can be forced ON with an option in the Game settings menu)
When a prestige card is acquired decks containing the non-prestige version of the card will be automatically updated with the prestige version (this can be disabled with an option in the Game settings menu)
Prestige cards will randomly show up as draft options (probability is dependant on the number of that prestige card in your collection)
Added ‘prestige’ as a card filter term
Future work: We will eventually have a collapsed view mode for both the collection and deck views where all versions of a card are collapsed into a single entry

New cards: Barbed Arrows, Cognate of Eratos, Fossegrim, Canine Cavalry, Pseudonomicon, Salt the Fields, Scourge of Serpents, Serapis False Apostle, Spirit Stones, Stab Crab, Tangleskein, The Oak of Dodona, and Xelhua the Builder
Added portraits
Approximately 70 of the minions now have spoken lines on entry. One (Sweet Spinnerette) has a spoken line on death.
Fixed inconsistent card burning on mobile devices
Improved hit detection for cards in hand
Added matchmaking bias against a rematch against the same player (1v1 modes only)
Matchmaker now adds a bias to players using featured decks to leave some breathing room for early players to queue with self-brewed decks
Improved visibility of action highlights for artifacts
Clipping/tapping on match id in the escape menu copies it to your clipboard (native clients only)
Path art now selectable as deck art
Card Layout section added to in-game guide
Added play time to player profile
Added tooltips to Maat, Kismet, and Favorite Card in player profile
Fixed a bug where banishing a minion while zoomed into both that minion and the lane enchantment that it occupies could leave the enchantment “stuck” on the screen
Fixed bug where music volume was incorrectly boosted after finishing a match
Fixed a bug where unzooming the graveyard while a card is being returned from the graveyard to your hand could cause that card to become “invisible”
Fixed a bug where a zoomed card could become “stuck” when interrupted by a targeted effect
Fixed ‘find player’ issue where exact name matches were not given priority to be in the returned results
Fixed issue where invalid deck names were allowed on deck import
Fixed long player names peeking out into the Vs intro screen on certain resolutions.
Fixed misaligned hit boxes for tab buttons
Fixed a draw-ordering bug between marquee text (targeting instructions) and lane enchantments
Fixed a bug where minions with rush would briefly display the double action icon at the start of their first turn in play
Fixed a bug where a minion with Re:Spawn on Orpheum of Horrors does not trigger the Orpheum when it dies (this should also fix similar interactions between Re:Spawn and Compulsory Curse, Misfortune, Vengeful Heirloom, Vulcan Brand, and Yana Virus)
Fixed a bug where casting Wake the Bones quickly after an attack that would put the only valid target of the spell into the boneyard would prevent the player from casting spells for the rest of the game session
Fixed a bug where minions going to the boneyard while affected by War Fan would erroneously lose their mana cost reduction
Fixed a bug in abilities ordering where stealing a Bela, Witch Queen with Traitorous Murmur that would cause Bela’s energy to be one less than expected
Fixed a bug where activating Ghūl’s boneyard banish ability from the middle lane in 2v2 at the same time as your partner performing an action preventing the ability from resolving would cause the selected card to become “stuck”
Fixed a bug where casting Feng Shui Master on Root of the World could result in the Feng Shui Master not getting Root of the World’s activated ability
Fixed a bug where Xerxian Saboteur could miss damaging some artifacts
The replacement prompt when casting Pillage with all artifact slots already filled is no longer cancellable

Known Issues

The Block feature on the Social panel is NYI
Guilds are NYI
A new bug prevents you from selecting revealed cards in your opponent’s hand - this will get fixed next patch

Paths & Powers/Tuning

Foresight

... or pay 1 life and Divination 2 your own.

Taking a swing against the whole ‘life costs on powers’ pattern.

Reanimate

COST: (2) → (3)
Once per turn, banish the bottom card of your boneyard and pay 1 life to…

See above; life cost, begone!

Cards/Tuning

Blood Moon

2[R]R → 3[R]R
Your minions have Life Tap and 'Demise: Draw a card' until your next turn → end of turn

Dream Weaver

ABILITY COST: (1) → (1)Y

Forlorn Spirit

Deal 1 damage to your opponent → each opponent

Obviously this only matters in 2v2, but giving the intentionally weak spirits a limited context within which to be stronger has interesting implications for them and Melinoë.

Godsbane Transport

(2)▼ → (2)▽

Godspore Mushroom

Mutation outputs adjusted to include some more negative outputs, (like Splicing Lab has) and jackpot into some of the stronger ability combos less frequently.

Pretty self-explanatory, but basically it should be a little less consistent.

Harvester

Awaken: Gain 4 life → 3 life

Howling Abyssal

[Demise]: If your opponent has 6 or more life, deals 3 damage to them → All players discard cards at random until they have five or less cards in hand

Rare and Mythic slots often represent opportunities to define or respond to play patterns within a set. It’s okay to be flavorful and on-theme without impacting the meta, but here’s an opportunity to leverage a slot against a pattern like hoarding draws.
It’s possible that the randomness will turn out to be problematic, but we’re interested in seeing how this effect impacts the game while still in Alpha.

Jin-Sook, Dollmaster

6
P[/strike] → 6
PP[/*][/list]
Misfortune
- Deal 2 damage to a minion. If that minion survives, return this to your hand → Give an enemy minion Fragile 3 and ‘Demise: Deal 3 damage to its controller and return Misfortune from the boneyard to its owner's hand’
Another example of a somewhat loosely flavor-first mechanic that wasn’t really justifying its slotting within the set.

Mothmara
- → Lurker
Root of the World
- Occupying minion has ‘(0): Place this minion…’ → (1)
Sword Saint
- 2
  [/strike] → 2
  P[/*][/list]
  The Recursionist
  - After you play a spell, shuffle it into your deck → After you play a spell, return it to your hand with Ephemeral
  - [Demise]: Shuffle this into your deck → After your opponent plays a spell, shuffle this into its owner’s deck
  Internally, she’s been the subject of countless debates and design discussions; at the end of the day, the desire for a Recursionist that’s more playable in a wider range of situations has won out, but I just use this space to pour one out for all the insane plays and infinite loops.
  
  Twin Blanque
  - 4/4 → 4/5
  Twin Junah
  - 4/4 → 5/4
  White Cadejo
  - 3/4 → 4/3
  Xerxian Saboteur
  - Deal 6 damage to all your opponent’s → enemy artifacts
  Art/VFX
  - Production art updated for several cards, including Juiced, Sniffer, Llort, Racer in Shadow, Pentacle of Flavors, Hoarding hero, Yojimbo, Little Crane Girl, Pocket Instance, Neo Gangnam, Pushy Oni, and Jade Puma.

+1🗲▽: Give another minion Blight 1. → ▽: +1🗲 and give another minion Blight 1.

    Action System
    The action system has been revised. In general, things work like they did before but additional actions interact in more intuitive ways. The most noticeable changes include: the removal of all ‘restore action’ effects (these have been replaced in all cases with ‘grant action’ effects), minions can now have multiple standard actions, and Energy Actions have become Utility Actions, which are now used in a wider variety of places. In addition, abilities that grant specific types of actions (like Swift and Frenzy) have had their functionality standardized. What follows is a detailed description of how all of the actions work and how they are tracked. In general, actions should now work how you expect if you only read the basic tooltips, and feedback on any dissonance between those tooltips and these more detailed action rules would be greatly appreciated.
    
    Overview
    Standard Action (▼)
    Can be used to attack, move, or activate an ability. Usually, minions don’t have one the turn they are summoned, but gain one at the start of their turn.
    Rush Action
    Rush actions are like standard actions and are granted by Rush. Only one can be used per turn and they are used before standard actions.
    Move Action
    Can be used to move and are used before standard actions.
    Swift Action
    Swift actions can also be used to move and are granted by Swift. Only one can be used per turn and they are used before move actions.
    Frenzy Action
    Frenzy actions can be used to attack and are granted by Frenzy after attacking. Only one frenzy action can be used per turn and they are used before standard actions.
    Utility Action (▽)
    Can be used to activate abilities requiring utility actions. Usually, Minions, Artifacts, and Brands get one per turn including the turn they come under your control.
    Action Rules
    General
    Minions get a standard action at the start of their turn.
    Minions, Artifacts, and Brands get a utility action when they come under your control and at the start of their turn.
    Minions can accumulate and spend multiple actions.
    Minions lose all of their actions at the end of their turn.
    Rush
    When a minion with Rush is created or gains Rush on the turn it was created, it gets a Rush Action. If the minion also has Swift, it gets a Swift Action. If the minion has Frenzy and attacks, it gets a Frenzy Action.
    Minions can only use one Rush Action per turn.
    Minions losing Rush also lose their Rush Action.
    If the minion loses Rush on the turn they came under your control, they also lose their Swift and Frenzy Action from Rush.
    Swift
    Minions with Swift get a Swift Action at the start of their turn. A Swift Action can only be used to move.
    A Minion gaining Swift also gets a Swift Action if it was created on a previous turn.
    A Minion gaining Swift also gets a Swift Action if it was created on this turn and has Rush. This Swift Action only can be used while the minion has Rush.
    A Minion can only use one Swift Action per turn.
    Minions losing Swift also lose their Swift Action.
    Frenzy
    When a minion with Frenzy attacks, it gains a Frenzy Action.
    When a minion gains Frenzy and has used a standard action to attack, it gains a Frenzy Action.
    When a minion gains Frenzy and has used a Rush Action to attack and has Rush, it gains a Frenzy Action.
    A Minion can only use one Frenzy Action per turn.
    Frenzy actions gained from attacking with Rush Actions can only be used if the minion has Rush.
    Minions losing Frenzy also lose their Frenzy Action.
    Performing Actions
    Moving a minion will consume one action. The minion will first consume Swift Actions, then other move actions, Rush Actions, and finally standard actions.
    Attacking with a minion will consume one of its actions. The minion will first consume Frenzy Actions, then Rush Actions, and finally standard actions.
    Activating an ability that requires an action will first use Rush Actions, then standard actions.

Patch Notes v0.15

Mythgard - rhino_turbo

This is the Purplest patch we’ve ever done! Purple cards are available to Q-mode testers. Q-mode is a testing-only mode that allows you to build and test decks with cards you do not own. If you were level 15 before this patch deployed, you will automatically be given Q-mode access; you just need to enable it in the Options menu. Other high-level players who have been active in the community can request Q-mode access on Discord from rhino_turbo. Purple cards will be available for all players later this summer.

Features & Bug Fixes

Increased price of starter pack to $10 and increased the number of packs to 10 and the amount of mythril to 1500. Players who already bought the smaller starter pack will receive the new larger starter pack after the wipe
Added “Next Pack” button to pack opening screen
Reduced crafting values for mythic rarity cards to 2400 (make) and 600 (unmake)
Revamped the missions screen to show all rewards, including the daily bonus pool, daily singles, and weekly chest
Changed the way the daily bonus pool works to make coin rewards more clear. The total end of match coin reward is subtracted from the bonus pool, instead of the previous 2/3. The bonus pools have been increased to 1200 coins to compensate
Enabled Gallery in the Collections menu. Use arrow keys or click/touch left and right sides of the screen to advance selected image.
Updated Faction section of the Guide
Matchmaking: Added ability to leave the matchmaking queue screen while remaining in queue. Your current deck when entering the queue is displayed on the matchmaking screen and will be used for the queued match. Changes to the deck while in queue WILL be reflected in the queued match (deleting or otherwise invalidating the queued deck is not allowed while in queue). A matchmaking status notification will be shown on screen while in queue and clicking the glowing ‘match ready’ notification will bring you back to the appropriate matchmaking screen to begin the match.
A ‘Requeue’ button is now shown at the end of the match for all game modes unless the player was added to the match via a challenge (we plan on enabling this for challenges in the future).
Increased card art texture quality on Android and Web builds
Added turn timer warning tones
New music stinger when starting Mythgard
Key music stingers, e.g. drums at the start of a match, now play on the sounds effects channel (instead of the music channel)
Fixed issue with audio skipping in the story sequences
Added ability to sort decks in deck manager by name, last modified, or last played (see icon in the top-right of the deck manager UI)
Path icon now visible in 1v1 games
New tooltip system shows modifier breakdown, extended tags, and overflow card text

Tooltips are now scrollable in full zoom
Toggle keyword display from the guide
Click on individual modifier lines to see cards

Visual History now shows interaction target (combat participants, target of spells, etc)
Deck tracker now tracks cards for all players and sports a variety of sorting styles
Added a Depletion (AKA fatigue) card to better illustrate fatigue damage. You can now hover over an empty deck to see the current fatigue level
Repaired the Virus card type string for display
Minions with Bulwark on them now display the Armor ability icon
Removed targeting line option (it is now always on)
Fixed a few causes of game desync (fade to black reload loop).
Fixed issue where Weekly Chest occasionally gave out no rewards.
Gauntlet expiration is now displayed in the Gauntlet status window; expiration is also now extended upon playing a match.
Fix for card collection count and phantom state not always updating when crafting/uncrafting cards in deck editor.
Fixed power drag targeting issue on touch devices.
Fixed bug where collection card counts would be incorrect if the crafting panel or auto-unmake ui was closed during the animation.
Capped auto-unmake time when a large number of cards are being unmade.
Fixed bugs in making/unmaking with wildcards.
Fixed wildcard graphics when opened in a pack.
Fixed graphic artifacts on card text when zoomed close to the camera.

Known Issues

The block feature on the Social panel doesn’t work yet
Vengeful Heirloom cast on an ally’s minion in 2v2 will not return to your hand
When you Impel a minion, the free move action is not displayed on the second turn of Impel’s effect

Patch Notes v0.14.2

Mythgard - rhino_turbo

Patch 0.14.2 is primarily a balance tuning patch.

Features & Bug Fixes

Resizable window on standalone PC clients.
Music and ambient sounds are now muted when the game client loses focus.
Replay speed controls are now functional. Added controls to jump forward and back 15s.
Change replay / spectator point of view.
Spectate live ranked games is now accessible from ranked action menu.
Removed unintended solutions to puzzles “Needlepoint”, “Hell Hounds”, and “The Wall” ...Let’s see if you can solve them now!
‘Highest Rank’ in player profile is now functional.
Fixed an issue where some missions would not remove themselves from the mission list.
Fixed a bug where level rewards would sometimes not get credited to your account.
Fixed an issue where the AI makes poor choices when killing itself is an option
Ongoing updates of various card text.
Fixed a bug that would leave a card “stuck” in the air when summoning a minion while an impending divination is being queued.
Fixed Yahui and Chort Stag from blocking all overrun damage.
Fixed an issue with the Fragile from Turn of Seasons winter not updating when minions changed controllers.
Fixed an issue where Root of the World would not draw a minion when returning the last minion back to your deck.
Fixed an issue where you couldn’t attack with Panic Raider when on Stairway to Hades if doing so would cause its Breach effect to kill it.
Vengeful Heirloom now returns to your hand regardless of who is controlling the target minion.
Added a tension music clip when a turn timer has nearly expired. This is still a work in progress.
Mythril packages in the store have all been rounded up to multiples of 150.
Fixed handling of credit card chargebacks on Steam. If your account has chargebacks, those purchases will now be canceled and the mythril deducted from your account. Accounts with a negative mythril will not be able to earn coin rewards. You can rebuy mythril to bring your account back into good standing. Tsk tsk.
