CP Inflation!

Post by Vontre »

We are going to be inflating all CP values in the game, INCLUDING CP currently owned by players, by a uniform multiplier. We are doing this because we need a higher CP scale in order to create a more fair and fun randomization table for multiplayer wins and losses. There should be no loss or gain of value with this change.

We will be shutting down the gameplay servers for a brief window late tonight in order to apply these changes and increase all player's CP totals. Thank you for your understanding!

Servers Back Up!

Post by Vontre »

The CP adjustment process is complete! You may need to restart the app to sync your increased CP count. We have also launched our planned Warlock Academy pricing stratification for shard costs at this time. Thank you!

WA Release Details!

Post by Vontre »

Warlock Academy is releasing this Thursday, and we are ready to reveal exactly what you should expect when you log in to play!

The Warlock Academy is a set of 18 new cards that are EXCLUSIVELY collected through scenario campaigns: these cards will never appear in boosters or a daily deal and cannot be crafted! The set includes 6 legendaries and miscellaneous common, rare and epic cards from all factions. There are 6 campaigns, each contains 1 legendary and 2 copies of 2 other cards.

The first campaign features Professor Headwood as its legendary reward and is FREE FOR ALL PLAYERS! The remaining 5 campaigns will each cost the equivalent of 25 booster packs worth of CP (that's 50,000 card points each, but remember that CP rewards have just been drastically increased). If you are mainly looking to collect legendaries, this is a very good deal! However, our silver points offering will be an even better deal; just 100 silver points for each campaign, or 350 silver points for ALL campaigns! The full campaigns bundle includes an EXCLUSIVE Warlock Academy custom castle as well! In addition, the price of the bundle reduces proportionally based on what you've already acquired: so if you buy 1 campaign with CP, you can acquire the rest in the bundle for 280 silver points!

To help players get ready for Warlock Academy we are launching TOURNAMENT WEEK! From now until WA launch the SILVER POINT price for tournament entires will be 33% off! If you need to close the gap on some CP to buy a campaign, consider trying your luck with a tournament entry!

That's all, and don't forget to check our PATCH NOTES thread here for the substantial changes coming to existing cards and the legendary system. Get hype! viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3942

Warlock Academy Short Delay

Post by Vontre »

Due to unexpected issues with the Apple update review process, we will be unable to release the Warlock Academy changes and content at midnight tonight. We expect the changes will launch at some point during the day on Thursday. A new post will be made when the expansion is ready. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Price Reductions

Post by Vontre »

The holiday season is upon us and we're getting in the spirit. It's early, but we wanted to say thanks for supporting Cards and Castles! We have some great things planned for you this year. In addition to the recent crafting revisions, starting today we'll be changing our prices on all campaigns. All campaigns, including each Warlock Academy campaign, will now have a standard price of 14,000 card points or 70 silver points. This include the previously free campaigns, which will now hold the same low price as the others. In addition, the BUNDLE price for Warlock Academy is being reduced to 240 silver points for all 6 campaigns. This price reduces proportionally with each campaign already owned.

This change is permanent and will go into effect tonight! Thanks for playing and stay tuned for more!

Steam Launch Progress

Post by Vontre »

We wanted to inform players of our progress towards our full launch on Steam! Achievements, Async Notifications, Rank Leaderboards and Trading Cards have all been added, and we've made a number of improvements to the UI specifically for PCs. We still have a general visual upgrade to do as well as a polish pass and tournament pricing update. We're hoping to release pretty soon and will post again when we have a confirmed release date!

We also wanted to remind players that the Early Access card bundle, including the limited edition STEAMPUNK CASTLE, will be gone after the launch! If you are an ANDROID or IOS player, you can link your account with the Steam early access purchase and receive a huge pile of rewards including 20 card packs plus bonus epic and legendary packs for only $10!

THE AGE OF DRAGONS BEGINS

Post by Vontre »

We are proud to announce our next major expansion set, titled AGE OF DRAGONS, is launching on January 22nd! The intrepid explorer Loremaster Tarius juuuust might have unwittingly opened the Tomb of Eternity, unleashing the Age of Dragons upon the world! But what do these beasts of legend want, and who will they work for? That's for you to decide!

Age of Dragons will be a traditional booster pack set like Tournament of Champions, except this time with DRAGONS! Collect rare and legendary dragons of all factions along with a ton of other fantastic new and unique cards. Age of Dragons may not release until January, but you can get the new DRAGON'S ROOST CASTLE right now by purchasing the Age of Dragons preorder bundle! Buying the bundle will get you 50 Age of Dragons packs for 33% off the total price, so they can sit in your inventory and taunt you until they are openable on the 22nd! Head to the shop to secure your order at this low price and start using your new Dragon's Roost Castle immediately!

We've also made some important changes to our release model for the previous expansion, The Warlock Academy: Warlock Academy campaigns have been greatly reduced in price, but they NO LONGER reward exclusive cards.
