addedWe've made some fairly large changes to the first time user experience (FTUX) in this patch. When you start the game with a new account, you unlock the Tech starter. You'll play through the tutorial with this starter. Once you complete the tutorial, you'll start gaining quests to unlock the other four decks. Your fifth quest will unlock Draft mode and give you a free draft. After that, you'll be given one quest per day. The first four quests can be completed in Practice or Casual play. All later quests can only be completed in Casual play. When you complete a quest, you'll see a timer showing you how long until your next quest unlocks (it unlocks at midnight PST/1am Pacific Daylight Savings Time)
addedFeature Improvements:Daily Quests replace automatic logon rewards. You'll have a new daily quest automatically, and you get a new one at midnight server time (if you completed your previous one).
changedFeature Improvements:Server Time is now PST, not UTC.
changedFeature Improvements:Pack creation tables have been improved & pack creation data storage has been re-done. The first Basic, Smart, or Mega pack you open is now guaranteed to have a Legendary in it (and combined with the data storage change, the next pack you open will also be guaranteed a Legendary).
changedFeature Improvements:Prizes for draft have been reworked to include NanoBots as part of the prize pool
changedFeature Improvements:The "Practice" button has been moved to the deck stats view (click the deck name in the top right). This allows you to practice directly from the deck builder. More importantly, it also allows you to play practice games with your draft deck (against regular AI decks)

Feature Improvements:

  • Daily Quests replace automatic logon rewards. You'll have a new daily quest automatically, and you get a new one at midnight server time (if you completed your previous one).

  • Server Time is now PST, not UTC.

  • Pack creation tables have been improved & pack creation data storage has been re-done. The first Basic, Smart, or Mega pack you open is now guaranteed to have a Legendary in it (and combined with the data storage change, the next pack you open will also be guaranteed a Legendary).

  • Prizes for casual play and draft have some variation now

  • Prizes for draft have been reworked to include NanoBots as part of the prize pool

  • The "Practice" button has been moved to the deck stats view (click the deck name in the top right). This allows you to practice directly from the deck builder. More importantly, it also allows you to play practice games with your draft deck (against regular AI decks)

  • Improved some Achievement rewards

  • Improved the behaviour of the zoomed hand a little more

  • The game can now connect over an ipv6 network.

  • The animation for gaining a new rank is now much more prominent (it's still not enough, but it's better!)

Bug Fixes:

  • Draft play will no longer auto-pair you against SARAH (but see above - you can now play practice games with your draft decks)

  • Trash display works better now

  • Lots of bug fixes to make sure that we can turn on Leagues in the future

  • When you steal a unit that the AI had decided not to attack with again, it clears the AI's "skipped" flag, so you can still attack with it.

  • About seven different deck renaming bugs fixed

  • About twelve different Achievement-related bugs & glitches fixed
