Conquest of Champions
Upcoming Downtime and Expansion 1 Launch
We expect downtime to be up to 2 hours. Patch notes will be provided during the downtime.
Expansion 1 Update
The current plan is to share what we have now to the design committee (this is comprised of those who backed us at Design Committee level and those who applied to be MODS). With their help we will continue running QA and bug fixing and balancing for at least a week and then hopefully be able to kick this out the door.
Its going to be a pretty epic expansion combined with major bug fixes and new features. We can't wait to share it. Please hang in there! We appreciate your patience and continued support!
Status Update - May 23rd
1. Expansion Content. 70 new cards. We have been playing games internally to work out the balancing and it has been a blast.... We can't wait to share!
2. Multiple Decks per Hero Support. I've been itching for this one since alpha as its going to really open doors as far as customization and exploring the new combos with the expansion content. Along with this support we also revamped our deck editor to make it easier to use (more PC friendly rather than trying to design for Cross-Platform).
3. All 3 starter heroes will be accessible via gold purchases. This was a big request from the Early Access players and we have been eager to address it. Now players will be able to access all three factions without ever making a purchase. It also makes the initial faction selection less critical.
4. Tons of bug fixes. We've been monitoring everything being brought up in the forums and have a slew of fixes ready... especially for quick matches. Much needed as we prepare for this next tournament!
5. A handful of other improvements such as being able to view your graveyard and being able to send direct challenges to players in the lobby chat even if you aren't friends.
The tentative target date for this update is June 5th though it may slide depending on QA. We'll provide a detailed change log at that time. In the meantime, thank you for your patience as we iron out the kinks. We greatly appreciate your support during the beta in helping us identify bugs and guiding us to make this a better game.
Cheers!
