Get out your digital sewing kit and show us your best Faeria costume this weekend. It's also time to announce our first Monthly Cup guest!

Costume Contest

From now until the end of Monday, October 31st, we want you to transform the creatures and denizens of Faeria into their spookier counterparts. How can I participate?

• Decide which card deserves a costume the most
• Browse through our public library of card art to find your canvas
• Apply your costume gently, using the image editing program of your choice
• Use a tool like GameShark's Community Card Creator to give life to your frightening creation
• Tweet out your costume and mention @EnterFaeria in the description
• We'll be awarding the creators of our five favorite submissions with an Egg avatar!

Here's an example to get you started. Don't laugh please, I spent a lot of time on it:
Your costumes don't need to have abilities, but you can add them if you like.

October Monthly Cup special guest

We’re happy to have JoyfulRogue joining the competition in the next Monthly Cup on November 12th! If you're not familiar with JoyfulRogue, he was one of the original players and streamers of Faeria, all the way back in the 2013 alpha version. He has a long history with the game, and he's going to be gearing back up to see how he squares up in the new competitive scene. Do not be surprised if he uses a yak or two in his decks.

Hotfix round-up

We've had a couple updates to the game this week that dealt with several issues. Make sure to check them out on our forums if you haven't already.

• October 27th Patch notes
• October 28th Patch notes
• Emote setting changes clarification

Note on the latest version: To make a long story short, there is a pretty severe crash bug that we are having difficulty smoothing out. It affects a large enough portion of players that we need to take drastic measures to try and fix it before the weekend. The latest client version will temporarily no longer display animations for experience gained at the end of each match. You will still gain the proper amount of experience - you just won't be able to see it. This change should fix a lot of the crashes for now, and we will work on preparing a more suitable fix next week. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Community survey

We have another routine community survey for you to fill out, if you should find the time.
As always, thank you very much for your thoughts and consideration.

When will the current season reset?

As always, the end of the season occurs on the first Monday of each month at 12:00pm Noon CEST - which puts this season's end date on November 7th. Now that we have proper Pandora seasonal rewards, this is the date both Ranked and Pandora seasons will be resetting.
