Today's patch is a big one!
Our most requested feature, Ranked, is now here! Read all about how it works and the design philosophy behind it in our Ranked Announcement!
Also, this patch contains Emotes! Click your portrait to send an emote to the opponent mid game and let them know how you really feel. Every account starts with 4 default emotes, and we'll be adding the ability to buy more with gems soon.
We're also pleased to announce that the Matched Court queue will now be available at all times.
Last but certainly not least, the Untamed Faction Update is here! 8 new cards have been released for the stout Untamed.
Other Changes
Added new graphics and feedback that make it more obvious which player has the Initiative.
A common feedback we've gotten is that it's too subtle who has the initiative in-game, something which can drastically effect how a turn plays out. We've upped the graphics to make it more obvious who has the Initiative, which can be disabled in the Settings if you prefer the older version.
The campaign now points out the Campaign-specific effects in the first scenario of the Campaign.
A common confusion of players playing the Campaign is that healing effects are reduced. We've added this so that players can understand better that the Eye of Insight is reducing their healing.
Custom and VS CPU games now give less dust drops. Campaign now gives as much dust as PvP games.
Games against CPU opponents have always given less dust at the end of the game, but the in-game dust drops weren't being affected, the in-game dust drops have now been aligned. We've also revised how much dust was being given in the campaign: we want Campaign and PvP to be equally viable ways to play the game and build a collection, so they now give the same amount of dust per minute.
Ingenuity now places the named card on top of your deck after it's shuffled, if you have an effect that lets you see the top card of your deck and shuffles it each turn, such as in the Campaign or Augur Orb.
Ingenuity wasn't working anymore in decks where the deck is shuffled each turn, such as the Campaign.
The Sticker Reward display now has instructions that explains how to rotate and scale stickers.
It's now possible to disable camera screen shake in the Settings.
Added some checks for profanity in usernames on creation.
Increased the full-refund window on rebalanced cards to 8 days, up from 7.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where the Home Page wouldn't fully load in the positions of the popup items on the page, causing them to clip into each other when clicked.
The Uniter now reveals the Increasing Desperations' created.
Fixed an issue where the Sticker Reward screen would cause the Collection Page to become unresponsive.
After completing the campaign, the sticker display screen is now properly displayed.
