We are one week out from the launch of Claws & Chaos, and the game’s first post-launch update has just gone live. We’ve been reviewing player data, watching streams, and reading your reviews - we think you’ll be happy to read that most of this patch is about matchmaking and unit balancing.
We’ve adjusted matchmaking to make matchups a bit more fair, added a combat timeout timer, added a Damage Dealt/Taken tracker to the combat screen, nerfed a few creatures, and buffed a few more.
But that’s just the start. Read on for everything new, changed, and updated in Claws & Chaos v1.01.17.
And THANK YOU for playing our game, and giving us your feedback!
Systems
- Matchmaking adjustment to make matchups feel more winnable. Note that with this patch, the matchmaking teams currently populated will also reset.
- Rapture Leaderboard Reset will occur during this maintenance.
- Login Retry button added to maintenance popup. Under unstable internet connections, we’ve noticed players fail the login despite Servers being up. Players can retry the login instead of exiting.
- Combat timeout timer for when two units with a beta carotene overload are whacking each other and outhealing. After 1 minute of game time a burst of damage will kill everyone on field!
UI/UX Adjustments
- Added Damage Dealt/Taken tracker UI in combat.
- Adjusted Campaign screen to always scroll to the right to show the latest chapter unlock.
- ESC key should open up Settings menu in combat or main menu.
- ESC key will close other popups in the main menu.
- Fixed Rapture card history (deck in top left) to show proper activation phase.
- Added Fine Threads to the main menu resource list.
- Clarified tooltips for the main menu resource list to show where to acquire/spend.
- Additional stat rows added in unit detail window (Phys Resist, Mag Resist, HP Regen).
- Leaderboard rewards now display in the leaderboard window so you know what you’re placing for!
Bug Fixes
- Twitch Integration !cc join command should now persist between waves.
- Fixed bug in which in Profile’s Latest Campaign tracker wasn’t updating right.
- Username creation’s word filter was being overzealous and preventing all caps names. This is now allowed again. Reasonable Username change requests can be made by opening a Discord ticket.
