You will earn Boards that will be filled with cosmetic items. As you play the game, you will earn the opportunity to spin a board and earn free cosmetics. We will also unviel some new cosmetics available in special boards.

When we release that patch we will also be including 5 new cards and shortly after go to full release (exit Early Access) with significant marketing campaigns.

Due to the significant changes we've made with this patch all players will receive a respec - all cards, decks and cosmetics will be wiped and any currency spent on them refunded. Additionally, any gems spent on the big brawls board have been refunded.

OVERVIEW:

We identified some problems with our previous progression. Unlocking cards was too random and too slow. We also realized that having access to over 85 cards right out of the gate might have complicated the playing field. To address these issues we have removed the Big Brawls Board as the primary method for receiving cards. Instead, you can now directly unlock cards with Valor (earned through playing) and Gems (real money). We also increased the value of the rewards for playing so that you can acquire cards faster. We also added in account leveling. With account levels you will receive additional rewards as well as access to unlock cards. 3-6 cards will become available with each level but will still require Valor or Gems to unlock. Quests have been introduced to game. These give bite size tasks for players to achieve that will jumpstart their Valor to give additional options for card unlocking. This is especially true early in a player’s career.

VALOR:

Each Seal (tower destroyed) is rewarded with 20 Valor Successfully defending your Throne is rewarded with 30 Valor *note: these changes include Conquest games *note 2: the first 25 games played are given double valor bonus

LEVELING :

Each game played results in experience earned. Experience is used to level up your account. For each level gained you are given rewards and new cards available to unlock. There is a max level of 15 (all cards available at that time) and infinite ‘Prestige Levels’ beyond that.

LEVELING REWARDS:

Level 1: Starting Level Level 2: 1500 Valor, 25 Coins, 1 BBB Spin Cards:

QUESTS:

We have added Quests to the game. This is version 1 of a system we hope to continue to add to. The main purpose of Quests is to give players small tasks to achieve that will result in a significant gain of Valor to give initial card unlocking a boost.

BIG BRAWLS BOARD:

The BBB is no longer the main source for unlocking cards. We will use this mechanism in the future for other content. It is still used, with a single quality spin, for additional Conquest rewards and Club rewards. The BBB still gives a random amount of Card Pieces to a random card. Pieces can be sold for Valor. The ability to purchase spins with Gems has been temporarily removed. *note: all previous spins purchased with Gems have been refunded.

CARD UNLOCKING:

As before, cards can be unlocked directly with Valor. You may now unlock cards directly with Gems as well. Unlocking cards with gems is now also much better value.

CLUB REWARDS:

Progression Changes Coming Soon

Our current top priority is improving card acquisition and our progression systems. We decided, based on community feedback, that a larger overhaul was needed than we had initially planned, and so it's going to take a little longer. We think you will be pleased with the improvements!

General Changes and Additions

Conquest is now unlocked after playing 25 Standard matches. As conquest uses win-based matchmaking (instead of skill-rating based like Standard) we want players to gain at least a little experience before diving into what can be wildly varying match-ups.

Balance

• Cyclone, Meteor, and Blazer no longer stun when they push
• All bashes changed from 20% to 17% chance
  • This changes Blademasters, Brawler Gaurds, Demon Tower, Lexikhan, Shank, Vermillion, and Rat Pack.
• All Totems have had their health increased from 1000 to 2000 and their decay rate increased from 100/s to 200/s
  • This gives totems some added health to withstand attacks and nukes, but doesn't increase their normal lifetime at all

Arcane Larceny

• Mana cost decreased from 8 to 7

Blademasters

• Mana cost decreased from 8 to 7

Brawler Bomb

• Projectile speed increased from 7 to 8.5 t/s

Brawler Guards

• Now spawns 3 units, down from 4

Flak

• Fixed not dropping her target if it dies between volleys

Mana Crystal

• Duration decreased from 20s to 15s
• Aura now grants +2 Mana for every 8 Mana spent, up from every 7

Meteor

• Mana cost increased from 5 to 6

Missile

• Projectile speed decreased from 12 to 10.5 t/s

Shadow Walkers

• Mana cost decreased from 12 to 11

Steel Golems

• Mana cost decreased from 12 to 11

Tempest

• Mana cost increased from 6 to 7

The Rat Pack

• Deploy Time increased from 1 to 2 seconds

Witches

• Base damage increased from 35 to 65

Bug Fixes

• Fixing broken card previews
• Fixed showing gearset colors that do not exist

What Are We Doing?

• Fixing bugs!
• Working on improving card acquisition and progression.
• Working on 2 new game modes.

Hey everyone, we have been collecting a lot data and received plenty of feedback. Both the numbers and the opinions have had us busy over the last few days making some design changes to how players progress through the content of the game. Our motivation in our progression is to drive player defined goals related to the collection of cards. We feel our current system is deficient in 2 key segments: 1.) Pace - currently it is too slow. The changes we will make will increase the speed you gain cards. 2.) Choice - we are unhappy with the ability of our players to get the content they want without being heavily penalized. You will have direct control over what content you acquire. We also identified that a successful defense of your Throne (your main tower) is deserving of match rewards. This will help assist the pace of progression. Content acquisition will not be limited to the Big Brawls Board (BBB). We will change its core functionality. BBB will still be used for certain rewards but not the main aspect of the acquisition of cards. Money spent will also be more direct and give you better value and more control over how those gems affect your progress. We are working feverishly to deliver these changes as soon as we can. Look for a patch soon that will create much more "feelsgoodman" moments :)

General Changes and Additions

Conquest tickets are now also purchasable with Valor. The daily free entry and gem entries still exist as before. Gold and Diamond boards may now be unlocked with Seals. These higher rarity boards are ideal for targeting Epic and Legendary cards. *This ability becomes unlocked after a player's first 20 Silver boards You can now click a Club in the finder or ladder to view their roster. You can now also see full clubs and invite-only clubs in the finder (if you want to).

Bug Fixes

Numerous fixes were made to Clubs and Club related activities. Spectating another player now allows you to move your camera freely (as it does when you are playing).

What Are We Doing?

• Fixing bugs!
• Working on 2 new game modes.

Wipe

Due to significant changes to our progression systems we are going to perform a complete wipe. This will include matches played, Medals, decks, Conquests, cosmetics, and all card progress & ownership. In order to give fair value for the matches you have played so far in the beta we are awarding the following:

• 25 Valor per seal
• 75 valor per conquest win

There will be some down time while we perform this wipe.

Progression Changes

Card Piece distribution is now in larger sums and will feel more impactful. Valor is now a possible prize tile on the Big Brawls Board and has a significant chance to be won. Valor can be used to complete a card with already contained Pieces at the corresponding Valor Value (Card Piece % remaining multiplied total Valor cost of card). Overall card progression should feel less grindy and more fulfilling. It will also take significantly less time to obtain your collection.

Wipe

Due to significant changes to our progression systems we are going to perform a complete wipe. This will include matches played, Medals, decks, Conquests, cosmetics, and all card progress & ownership.

• Cards are now easier to unlock via both Boards and Valor

It is very important for us to get good data from these new progression changes. Therefore, the previous 201,337 valor that was given to help us test the balance of the game & certain card mechanics has been removed. You will now have to play to get those cards you want :) *note: Gem purchasing is still disabled. This can drastically increase the speed of card collection. We will enable Gem purchasing for cosmetics and the Big Brawls Board once we have sufficient data on the new progression systems.

New Camera Modes

Because we use a sophisticated 3D engine that renders beautiful graphics we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to take advantage of that. You can now play in locked horizontal view (our current and default mode), vertical mode (more similar to other games in the genre where you play up and down) and a free camera mode which allows you to adjust the camera however you would like (inc. zooming in and out).
