Patch Notes 0.7.17-EarlyAccess!

0.7.17-EarlyAccess! Build Change Notes - September 3, 2024

**NEW** All players now have Rank Points! Rank Points (RP) are a way for you and other players to see how good you are at the game. Every player starts at 1200 Rank Points. Players will always try to be matched against someone near their own RP so that the game feels fair.

When you win or lose a match, you'll receive or lose RP according to whether the match "expected" you to win or lose (based on your Rank Points) and the actual outcome.

Examples: - Player 1 has 1400 RP and loses vs Player 2 who has 1500 RP. Player 1 only loses 15 RP and Player 2 gains 14 RP. - Player 1 has 1400 RP and wins vs Player 2 who has 1500 RP. Player 1 gains 33 RP and Player 2 loses 27 RP. - Player 1 has 1800 RP and wins vs Player 2 who has 1300 RP. Player 1 gains 8 RP and Player 2 loses 7 RP. - Player 1 has 1800 RP and loses vs Player 2 who has 1300 RP. Player 1 loses 78 RP and Player 2 gains 96 RP.

Rank Points Tiers:

• Above 2100 - Ultimate

• 1850-2100 - Master

• 1500-1850 - Apprentice

• 1200-1500 - Trainee

• Under 1200 - Novice

The RP system is to promote a healthy competitive edge to World of Grimm. You'll never be able to buy anything that boosts or modifies your RP and your RP will reset slightly each season.

NEW CARD

• Headless Prince - 3 Mana 1/4 - Abandon: A random opponent's Character here takes 1 Damage.

NEW REALM

• Bears Den

NEW ART

• Ferdinand the Faithful - Original Art

• Ferdinand the Unfaithful - Original Art

• Long Lawrence - Original Art

• Simpleton - Original Art

BALANCE CHANGES SEAME

• Old -> 3 Mana 1/1 - After this moves, give all other Characters here -1 Attack Power.

• New -> 3 Mana 1/1 - After this moves, give all other Characters here -1 Attack Power and -1 Health. Seame was not even remotely being considered in Move decks. This change should make him feel like a more versatile Dark Omen. We're going to monitor this, as this may create a new Move/Fury combo deck.

CARD TIER UPDATES: The following cards have moved down to Tier 2 from Tiers 3 and 4. They will be unlockable earlier in the CCL track (roughly between CCL 100 & 350), this is to create more exciting deckbuilding as well as give players more of a choice for what they want to do and build.

• Uele

• Erlking

• Ferdinand the Faithful

• Hoopoe

• Maid Maleen

• Mr. Korbes

• Clever Elsie

• Stepsister Lucinda

• Sister Kasetraut

ADDITIONS:

• Some more new quests have been added to the daily rotation.

CHANGES:

• Updated the speed and distance how a Card flips so it doesn't seem as disjointed.

• Added clarity for The Battlefield and Hornet's Nest.

• Updated the wording for Gnat Spy for clarity.

• Updated the wording for Forced Gale for clarity. (This card still does not resolve properly, we're looking into this fix still.)

FIXES:

• Fixed an issue with Mr. Korbes not triggering his ability.

• Fixed an issue with Seame not triggering his ability to all cards at Realm.

• Fixed an issue with Bittern's ability not working.

• Fixed an issue with cards obtained with Young Mr. Fox where they would play inconsistently.

• The tutorial can now be completed again.

• Fixed an issue with Ceasefire softlocking on card draw.

• Fixed an issue with Infestation softlocking on ability reveal.

• Fixed an issue where Grimoire Groves would softlock the game.

• Fixed a softlock issue where a Fury card would proc when it could not lose Health.

• Any avatars that were not fixed on the first pass are now fixed.
