We're planning on pushing an important change to the way mulligans work next week.
When we apply the patch, cards that are chosen to be discarded in the starting hand will no longer be able to reappear.
Normally, Faeria has always worked like many other card games in real life. Cards you mulligan would be placed back into your deck, shuffled, then you draw an equal number of cards back. You could potentially draw the same card again.
With this change, it will be as if you set the cards to the side and drew an equal amount off the top of your deck.
We recognize this can be a pretty dangerous change, and have long been hesitant to make this adjustment. Rush and combo decks that must have that "perfect starting hand" suddenly will have a slightly better chance of obtaining it. Then again... so will everyone else. Either way, we'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.
What do you think?
64-bit issues
We had some Mac users reporting issues with 64-bit configuration on Steam. We have fixed the problem and it should no longer be happening. Thank you for the reports!
We're aware of some issues being reported over the last couple weeks or so about increased latency, lag, or otherwise slow performance in-game. We're mostly unable to reproduce these issues in-house, but have made some adjustments today that may help things.
If they don't help you, however, we'd love to know more about it.
What's the best way to report a bug?
Now may be a good time to remind everyone the best way to report any bug, including things like this.
Submitting anything via this form will reach us. If we need more amplification, we may reply and ask for further details. Otherwise, we'll do our best to reproduce the problem ourselves and find a fix.
Official Discord
You can also directly message some of us in our Discord channel if that makes it easier for you.
Remember to include this sort of information whenever possible:
- Your SupportID, if the problem is unique to your account - This can be found in your friends list and is a short series of letters and numbers. - Any steps to reproduce the problem reliably - If the problem is a crash, include any relevant crash logs in the report. - Depending on your operating system you can find the file "output_log.txt" at "%APPDATA%/../LocalLow/Abrakam/Faeria." This is what we usually need.
Basically, use any of the above methods that are most convenient for you. We'll do what we can to resolve the problem as fast as we can. Crashes and game disrupting problems take the highest priority.
We know the development news has been a bit slow lately, and you want things to be going faster just like we do - but we're spinning a lot of administrative plates right now involved with console release and... more!
It can be frustrating when we can't talk about some things that are coming along, but we hope you'll be pleasantly surprised when they begin to surface.
