🥳 Patch Update - Free-to-Play Experience Revamp and Quality-of-Life Improvements!🥳
Today’s patch introduces exciting updates, including a total revamp of the free-to-play experience! Now, new players can try out more features, earn glint, and build their collections with account-bound cards before purchasing a Spellbook! Here’s a look at the improvements:
✨Free-To-Play experience improvements! ✨
🔹 All players can now earn Glint from their Ranked victories starting in Bronze league!
🔹The base “modifier” for Glint is now 1x, even with no $SPS staked.
🔹The Starter Card penalty for earning Glint has been removed.
🔹All players can now earn League advancement rewards.
🔹A Spellbook is no longer required: to join a guild, earn Glint from ranked play, purchase Credits, purchase cards, receive gifts of packs or cards, receive card delegations, participate in Brawls and earn Merits, rent cards seasonally, combine cards, open packs, or purchase Rewards from the shop with Glint
🔹A Spellbook is still required to: sell cards, transfer cards, delegate cards, list cards for rent, hold Dark Energy Crystals (DEC) or Splintershards ($SPS), enter a Tournament, create or own a guild, hit Jackpot rewards, access Land, access Soulkeep, and earn $SPS rewards.
🔹To simplify the Starter Card selection, it is now only the oldest cards from the two sets currently in the Modern format - currently Chaos Legion. 🚨
🔹New users can now pick a name as long as it does not conflict with an existing account. It will get suffixed with _lite, which can be removed when a Spellbook is purchased.
🎮Gameplay Updates 🎮
🔹Updated most of the ruleset descriptions to be more detailed.
🔹The FabFour ruleset has been renamed to Four’s A Crowd.
🔹The FiveAlive ruleset has been renamed to High Five.
🔹Fixed an issue where Hide Starter Cards checkbox was incorrectly appearing during team creation for Open/Ghost Card battles.
🏝️Land Updates 🏝️
🔹Power Cores and Time Crystals can now be bought with Credits. (Dark Energy Crystals will be burned by the company whenever Credits are used for these purchases.)
