Another build packed with features.

Highlights:

  1. Game logs for every game you play. Logs can be accessed from the victory screen or the player profile. Logs are stored in JSON format in your application data (your last 50 logs are saved, but if you copy-paste the file, you could manually go back and look at old logs).

  2. Emotes for each avatar (click your portrait to emote, or your opponent's portrait to squelch; Esc or the middle left button brings up the menu)

  3. Much-improved display of prizes & other game end rewards

  4. More AI decks (unlocked at ranks 28-20)

  5. Higher threshold for fallback to AI play (up to rank 18) while player pop is low

Feature Improvements

  • Client defaults to the "desktop" arena display.

  • Powers stick around longer now, so you've got more time to read them

  • Rank required to unlock draft lowered to 28 (from 25)

  • Free draft granted when you unlock draft (if you're already above rank 28, you'll get the free draft too)

  • Targeting arrows stick around a little longer, and fade out smoothly

  • Dead cards now indicate that they're dead

  • Month of Packs/Credits/NanoBots now tells you what day you're on when you collect it.

  • Tutorial rewards are now granted after each tutorial game

  • You now get your first daily login reward at the end of the last tutorial

  • "Trash" button added to deck list decks, for easier list management

  • Achievements now give you 10 credits per level gained, if they don't give any other rewards.

  • Keywords have less chance of overlapping the card you're looking at in the arena

  • Servers can now refresh game data without a restart; lets us patch cards or text with 0 downtime.

  • Matchmaker server now automatically stands itself back up if it falls over

Bug fixes

  • Lots of flickering removed from UI panel animations

  • Tutorial cards no longer become unplayable after waiting a long time

  • Removed some menu hints that weren't playing well with the UI

  • Primal Hunter no longer loses Evade when it fights something else.

  • Ethereal Devourer now actually has unblockable

  • when a bomb explodes in your hand, it can't leave an insert hovered.

  • Queen Ordelia can no longer crash the game by running you out of Arena inserts

Known Issues:

  • If you get "Client Out of Date. Please Update", you'll need to restart your Steam client to force it to download the update.

  • There's still some failure states with Friends that we haven't tracked down. If you find a Friends bug, let us know, please!
