Recent updates focused on bringing bigger changes and even new content in form of a new game mode to the game. We also overhauled player lobbies and the in-game shop. Today, we want to focus on Quality of Life features such as deck naming, more deck slots, an emote selector, reworked skyboxes, and lighting while we prepare for the Discord launch.
We also want to let you know that the server downtime will be a bit longer than usual, as we have to run, update & upgrade quite a few things to prepare for a stress test on Sunday, September 30th starting at 16:00 UTC, as well as the Discord launch later on. Unfortunately, we do not have any estimated downtime at this moment. For more information about the stress test, please see our latest blog post.
Deck naming
Deck naming is here! You can now give your decks a name of up to 16 characters, and get organized. Try new tactics, have a deck for each day, you do you! It is now more convenient than ever to take advantage of all the deck slots you have.
Note: Only you can see your deck name.
Emote selection
- New Emote Selection tool! Select up to 8 emotes to have on hand at any time in a game. This should help with the issue of our towering emote box.
- To select your emotes, go to the Master select screen under the “emotes” tab to edit your new emote wheel.
- We’ve also enabled a Hotkey for this new system you can use in-game - Just press Y and try it out!
Better skyboxes
- Improved skyboxes and lighting! We’ve touched up the existing effects you see in-game to make them that much nicer.
Misc
- We’ve added deck slots to the shop rotation. You can buy 6 slots (one page) for 1.200 Rubies, but you can expect juicy discounts! While you can only buy a single offer once, you can buy deck slot offers repeatedly as they occur. There is no limitation to how many deck slots you can have.
- The notification icon has been redone to be more visible and make more sense. Also, you will now get notifications when there’s a new Mayhem available.
- Arenas now have rarities.
