Patch notes: December 21, 2016

This patch introduces some significant new animations and sounds in-game, as well as sets everything up for the holidays. We won’t spoil everything - see for yourself!

##New features

  • Many new exciting in-game animations and sounds have been added to Faeria and the card base. Without spoiling anything more, we want you to discover them on your own!
  • “Rank up” and “League up” animations have been significantly reworked
  • Several Daily Quests have been added to the game, they are non-recurring and their purpose is to introduce to players to important features like the friend list
  • League icons for ranks 0-5 and 5-10 have been swapped (see below)
  • The Holidays are here! New snowing effects have been added to the game, and Holiday Contest card art has been added.

##Holiday costume contest winners

The results from the Holiday Costume Contest are in. Originally we said we’d be selecting up to five community submissions, but we just couldn’t make up our mind on a few of them, so we selected six. Ya, we can do that.

The following cards will have a festive twist applied to their art for a limited time:

  • Battle Toads - by Cromm
  • Windstorm Archer - by Lynzkar
  • Demon Wing - by Tidwell
  • Annoying Gnat - by Kissagram
  • Bomb Slinger - by Aigglo
  • Firestorm - by Tikup
  • Bold Bargainer - We made an extra and threw this one in there. It took Martin about 5 minutes. Why not!

Special thanks to everyone in the community who contributed a submission. If yours wasn’t selected to be put in game - we still enjoyed looking at every single one. These are a lot of fun, and we hope to do more in the future.

##Ranked icon swap

We’ve swapped the Ranked title progression for the two leagues before God in order to be more in line with accepted standards. Ranks 6-10 will now be Platinum league, and 1-5 will be Diamond.

This now makes Ranked league progression as follows:

Bronze -> Silver -> Gold -> Platinum -> Diamond -> God

These changes will have no effect on current player ranks and are entirely cosmetic in nature.

##Card name changes

  • Windborne -> Khalim’s Training
  • Oblivion Knight -> Oblivion Rider

##New card art

  • Malevolent Spirit - by Franck & Jordi
  • Hate Seed - by Franck, Jordi & Andrey
  • Red Devil - by Franck, Jordi & Andrey
  • Choking Sand - by Franck, Jordi & Vitaliy
  • Khalim’s Training - by Franck, Jordi & Vitaliy
  • Oblivion Rider - by Yuan

##Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where some players on slower PCs sometimes experienced having their first game cancelled.
  • Game invites now appear above “Recently played” friend suggestions

Congrats everyone on the Costume Contest!

Also really enjoying the new art, hoping to get a jump in later tonight or tomorrow to really get into the Holiday Spirit! Happy Holidays everyone! May your trees be filled with Santa Gnats and Gift Slingers!

There is a known issue with rerolling cards in packs where the card you reroll is not displayed correctly. This sometimes can occur after completing one of the new quests that rewards crafting material. It is a display issue only, and you are awarded the rerolled card to your library, you just won’t be able to see what the result was from your rerolling until after this bug is fixed.
