Greetings Skylords!

It's been two weeks already since our last community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

Test Server Patch
A new patch has hit the test server, including another batch of balance changes and adjustments. This patch contains many balancing changes and experimental changes for both PvE and PvP, with Frost specifically getting some love this time. We have also sent the first reworked versions of the 2vs2 maps to the test server!
Please take a look at the patch notes, test them out on the test server and take part in the discussion.
A detailed list of changes with images will become available in the wiki in the upcoming days.
There have now been a couple of patches to the test server, resulting in a big difference between the current state of the game on the live server and the card adjustments on the test server. Which brings us to:

Upcoming Patch
We are now preparing the next patch for the live servers. It has been a while since our last patch, so expect this to be a big one with tons of balance changes for both PvP and PvE. Because of this, we have quite a bit of work ahead of us and we expect this patch to release in the beginning of August. We hope you are looking forward to a new meta with new strategies to play with. 
We will share more information about the specific changes in our next community update on the 31st of July. 

New Cards development update
To manage expectations: we will not release new cards in this upcoming patch. As mentioned in a previous community update, we are currently creating new cards for Bandits (Fire/Shadow), Amii (Nature/Shadow) and Pure Frost.
New card development is going well, but we are treading new territory here and want to take our time to make sure our first new cards are the best they could be. This still could take quite a while, but please rest assured we are working hard to give you some cool new cards to play with!
Meanwhile we are continuing rolling out balance patches to give underplayed cards some love, and offer you new strategies and options for all the factions in the game. New cards can be tools to help fill these specific roles, but we are also looking at adjusting existing cards to reach the desired result. 
We are also taking a deep dive into each faction separately, spending a lot of time figuring out what makes the faction tick, its strengths and weaknesses and where it could need some help to allow for a more diverse play style. 
 

Deep Dive: Pure Frost
Frost has been our primary focus for the past several months and our team is excited to finally get to share our work with the community. Attached you will find a document exploring the Frost faction in detail, including upcoming changes and a tease of our first new card!
While Frost has been the first faction on our list, in the future other factions will also be receiving major changes. As our focus shifts from one faction to another we will continue to provide insights into our thinking through future documents like this one.
We hope this look into Frost has helped you to understand both the faction better and our reasoning behind the upcoming changes.

Iteration 16
Greetings Skylords, Skyladies and Skyfolk!
Iteration 16 of our test server is here. This patch mainly includes lots of new changes to cards, and an overhaul to the 2vs2 maps!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where are balance changes discussed? 
For now we have a Discord server dedicated for this. An invite link to the server: https://discord.gg/NvSUwpf
How can I join the test server?
To join the test server you simply need to launch LauncherTest.exe located in your BattleForge installation folder. It is important you run the updater first, so you download the latest test server files. In the future we plan to make it easier to join the test server.

Thanks to everyone providing feedback for these Events. Rest assured we are definitly taking this into account, and Hiko is really looking into what works and doesnt. This is only our second official PvE event, so its still a bit trial and error. We hope you are still able to have fun in this one! 

😄 last map missing - time to get running

😄 last map missing - time to get running

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings.
We are back with yet another official PvE event since release.
We hope you will have a lot of fun with this event!
 

What kind of event will it be?
PvE - Slave Master - Advanced Solo or with a teammate

Slave Master on Advanced Difficulty with a twist! Follow all restrictions and requirements to finish this map as fast as possible.
For example, one of the restrictions is you are only allowed to use cards from the First Edition. See below for more information and all restrictions.
There are 5 different submission types, which differentiate between Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Mixed.
Each has their own prize pool.
That's not all! There are other awards like the Quirky Defence, which is a Community Award that we will be voting for live on stream at the end of the event.

When will it start?
We will accept entries starting from 12.07.2021 00:00 CEST.

The event will run for approximately 2 and 1/2 weeks, so you have time until the end of July. To be specific: 28.07.2021 23:59 CEST.
You can send your replays through DM to me on Discord (Minashigo Hiko#1126) or through a PM to me on the forum.

How can I participate?

You just have to send in your fastest replay, including the player names and the submission type. [Note: your entry has to be a victory/in the ranking]
For example: "Hiko,Majora - Pure fire Deck"

Please note: You are allowed to send in three different replays, but not more than one per submission type (this will be counted per player, not per team).

You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays

Nice, but where is the difficulty?

This event will not have a point system, but there will be some requirements/restrictions you have to fulfill to successfully participate in the event.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restrictions:
You may only use First Edition (Twilight Edition) cards. If you participate with a friend, one can only defend the twilight waves, while the other one can only attack (see below for more information). The defender is only allowed to defend and attack the left side of the map. The attacker is only allowed to attack the right side of the map. Players are allowed to cross the line to the other side, but are restricted from attacking or using offensive spells there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
Destroy at least one of the patrolling Battleships on your own. No member of the Treasure fleet can die. Collect all 6 gold chests. You can find the location of these chests at the "Chests" tab above the map: 
https://skylords-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Slave_Master Both players have to use decks of the same type, which means that both of you need to fulfill the submission type or it will be counted,
as a "Mixed" entry. For example, if Player A uses Pure Frost, Player B will also have to use Pure Frost for the run to count toward a Pure Frost run.
If Player B plays a non-frost deck, the run is considered "Mixed" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Sounds fun! What's the prize pool?

There will be several prize pools: Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Mixed. Submissions will be categorized in one of these groups depending on what kind of deck you play and submit (a submission without a submission type will be automatically counted as "Mixed")
Both teams will be rewarded in case of a draw.
Each submission type gets different rewards and all rewards are per player.

Greetings Skylords!

It's been two weeks already since our last community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

New Logo
Already teased in the updated Discord icons and Facebook profile, we also have a new logo! We are very happy with our fresh new look, which inspired us to also take another look at our landing page. Nothing to share yet there, but we are currently in the first stages of a redesign, and hope to share more with you in the future.
We'd also like to take this time to let you know we are going to post these Community Updates on our Reddit as well. Please make sure to follow us there if that is your preferred platform to stay up to date on Skylords Reborn. 

New cards are now in development
As mentioned in the last Community Update, the exciting moment has come to design brand new cards for the game. We will release these new cards in batches, instead of a full expansion. Our plan for the first batch is to create new cards for 3 different factions, with up to 9 cards added in total. We are also planning to add affinities to some, if not all, of these cards.
The past week, patrons with the Moon tier or higher were able to vote for their favorite factions. We are excited to announce the 3 factions that will receive new cards:
- Frost
- Amii (Shadow / Nature)
- Bandits (Shadow / Fire)

Don't worry, we plan to add new cards for each faction over time, the voting only impacted the order of our release. Since this is new territory for us, we are currently not able to say when new cards will be ready, and when the vote for the next batch will be. We will be actively working on this, but we don't want to rush out new cards.
 

Expansion Icon

New cards need a new expansion icon! The community was able to vote for their favorite icon on our social media (Twitter, Discord, Facebook and Reddit). All icons (from left to right: Phoenix, Ouroboros, Triskelion and Lotus) were symbols of Rebirth, which we found fitting for the current stage of the project. The votes were extremely close, with our Discord community heavily leaning towards Ouroboros, while the other media were rallying behind the Phoenix icon. Here is the icon you can expect on our upcoming cards (not just the factions mentioned above):


Until further notice, all upcoming Skylords Reborn cards will have this icon. We are also looking into creating multiple versions of this expansion symbol, depending on the rarity. And of course not all cards will be ultra rare. Please note again: new cards have now started development, but we have no specific cards to share at this moment. 
Thank you all for your votes and comments, and thank you Tweeto for your awesome work!

New Patch on the test server

A lot is happening on the test server as well. A large patch has hit the test server on the 9th of June. 
The patch contains many balancing changes and experimental changes. Please take a look at the patch notes, test them out on the test server and take place in the discussion.
Speaking of discussions, we would like your help in making a decision regarding the card Unity and if it should only effect own units or also allies.
Please check out our Unity poll here.

Upcoming Tournaments
• FINISHED Official PvE Contest#1 Siege of Hope 
The first official PvE contest on Siege of Hope is now finished! We will announce the winners in a stream on the 26th of June at 19:00 CEST.
We will also do some giveaways, so even if you did not participate; we invite you all to join us! 
 
• NEW: Host your own event / tournament
Want to host a tournament or event? Please reach out to our Event Organiser Hiko to have your events prizes sponsored by the Skylords Reborn team. If you got a cool idea for a PvE event, or want to host a PvP tournament, please don't hesitate to reach out to us, we will gladly assist you. 
 
New Art for Firesworn
Besides a new Logo and Icon, our artist Tweeto has been working on adjusting the art of Firesworn. As most would agree, Firesworn always felt a bit off compared to the other fire cards. Tweeto made a few changes to make it feel more in line with the rest of your deck. We hope you like it! 
 
Current Artwork
 
Adjusted Artwork

The artwork has not yet been adjusted in-game yet. We expect to add it in an upcoming content update to the live server. 
There are still some cards we would like to give a slight upgrade, but we will only do so if there are no other tasks with more priority to work on. With new cards in development, new artworks for those cards currently have more priority. 

New Team Members / Team Changes
Our moderation team welcomes a new (old) member! Bradley will be helping us out with moderation again.
We are also happy to announce our first official Map Designer: Hodron! 
Right now he is spending a lot of time on designing the new rPvE presets mentioned in the last community update; specifically what units and or bosses you will encounter. 
Our developer _empty_ stepped down from his position. He worked on creating the installer used by new players to more easily be able to install and play the game. We would to again thank him for his contributions!
Additionally, we will soon be adding at least one new server developer. 
We have also added a new role into our open positions; Marketeer/Outreach Coordinator. As an Outreach Coordinator you are responsible to spread the word and create awareness about Skylords Reborn and to attract veteran and new players alike. This includes actively researching and reaching out to potentially interested influencers, streamers, youtubers, Discord channels, game magazines, among others. 

As always; if you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help. There are still some open positions in our team.
 

In conclusion
Thanks for reading! 
Is there anything you wish us to cover in upcoming community updates? As always, we are open to feedback so please let us know!
Here is a scratch code you can redeem in-game for 100bfp. COMM-UNIT-YUPD-ATE5

For now we have a Discord server dedicated for this. An invite link to the server: https://discord.gg/NvSUwpf
How can I join the test server?
To join the test server you simply need to launch LauncherTest.exe located in your BattleForge installation folder. It is important you run the updater first, so you download the latest test server files. In the future we plan to make it easier to join the test server.

Balancing Changes
Amok: Added green affinity similar to red affinity with increased charges from 4 to 8, increased duration from 15 to 20 seconds and additional damagebuff of 20% to all targets. Bloodthrist: Added green affinity: Will trigger the healing for every 600/500/400/400 damage that the unit dealt, heals 185/185/185/200 for 4 seconds. Core Dredge (blue): Its Shatter Ice effect also affects buildings now. Grim Bahir: Added Knockback resistance to the crawlers and gave them L counter. Ironclad (green & purple): Reduced duration of active from 20 to 15 seconds. Magma Hurler: Now deals +30 more damage per hit, 45 in total. Additionally, now properly displays the mean attack interval of 3.9 seconds and brings its attack value to 1730 instead of 1700 (the miniscule increase is because of the previous value being higher than it should be) Plague (Purple): Changed Orbs from 2 Shadow + 2 Neutral to 3 Shadow + 1 Neutral. Removed the effect on allies and added another spread wave that will infect another 3 targets with the same effect when one unit that is infected by one of the original parasites dies. Changed visual effects. Now the befallen's curse effect will indicate which unit will spread the parasites on death and which won't. QueekQueek (superpig): made attacks consistent with the normal version. Now has the same base attackspeed (3 seconds instead of 4,5) and damage per attack (76 to all targets instead of 106 to units and 70 to buildings and structures) (ofc still has the buff from super powers). Additionally, made the range of the teleport global instead of having a range of 500m. Overall the changes result in a slight buff to super pig. Shatter Ice: Removed the purple affinity and reduced the cooldown of the default version from 30 to 20 seconds to match the removed purple affinity. This was done because of a bug wih the purple affinity where it didn't ignore the 50% damage reduction of frozen targets. Shrine of Martyrs, Embalmer's Shrine, Willzapper, Lost Disruptor: changed it so that the own team and the enemy team can have one each active at the same time Stone Warrior (blue): Made ability usable on frozen buildings. Tempest: Streamlined U3 so that it deals 100% more damage to frozen targets on all upgrades (was only ~92% more for U3, while 100% for U0/1/2). Thugs (red): Removed Looter Void Maw (red and purple): Changed attack from 380 single target to splash with 10 m, 380 single dmg and 420 max dmg. Also increase charges from 8 to 12. Warlock (nature): Now properly ignores the 50% damage reduction of frozen targets and additionally deals 50% increased damage against them White Rangers (no affinity and blue): Home Defense now properly deals 100% damage against units, 50% against buildings and walls and no damage against monuments and wells. Quality of Life Changes
Comet Catcher, Mana Wing, Soul Splicer, Decomposer, Timeless One: removed the min range of 1 Gladiatrix (purple): now does not apply the buff-immunity to allies units the ability was cast on Incredible Mo: Can now be switched back from every mode but the first one (there it is still automatically switched back after the ability is done). Abilities now also use the mode change icon to explain that 100% of the power used is gained as void power (as with all mode changes that cost energy). Adjusted the description accordingly Lifestream: U3 duration buff now won't also increase cooldown of the ability Moon: switched around active abilities on cards and description to fit her hotkeys Northstar (blue): now gives a debuff to hostile units when they will be frozen longer (only visualisation) Overlord: Reduced the hidden unhealability during the cast of Blood Sharing from 5 seconds to only 100 ms (= 0,1 seconds) exactly when the healing takes effect. Resource Booster: Can now be placed like a normal building and is not restricted to own power wells anymore. That was done because the restriction to be played is 15m and the aura is 20m Slaver: now triggers the eruption animation on death as the PvE version does. Stone Warrior: Now shows a debuff for the freeze/paralyze duration increase on attacked target. Voodoo Shack: now shows preview on being built Worldbreaker Gun: removed the min range of 1, changed the icon of the Giant Snowball active ability, made it possible to switch back into the normal mode (on switching into the Gaint Snowball Mode there is a 30 second delay on the active ability to keep the initial cooldown intact (would have been skipped after the second mode change else)) Bug Fixes
Frost Shard (green): Fixed a bug that prevented the interaction with shatter ice on units. Grove Spirit: Fixed a bug with her U2 upgrade description. Infernal Chain: The given ability can now be properly used every 20 seconds. Lost Evocation: The blue affinity now also effects an unlimited amount of targets (like the red one) Mark of the Keeper: Aligned the range for cardplay block and mode change block to the range of the ability/ranged attacks block (30m to 35m) Mindweaver: Couldn't attack walls for whatever reason. Now can Mo (Promo): Fixed a bug where Promo Mo's Better Blues would only buff damage against units and not also against structures Northern Keep (frost): fixed a bug where the damage reduction from the ability was constantly active and not only while activation of the ability. Parasite Swarm, Stonekin Critters (the ones summoned by Deepfang), Twilight Parasite Swarm (PvE): Can now be properly slowed QueekQueek (normal): can now attack buildings (couldn't before for whatever reason) Sandstorm: Aligned card block radius (15) and corruption radius (20) to both 15m now. Also fixed a bug with the purple affinity that let to it not correctly applying the corruption leading to it only being active for 1 second every 6 seconds. Time Vortex: Gave it 40m attack range like every other tower in the game (except the long range ones) WindHunter, LostSpiritShip, Viridya (+ Promo), Shadow Insect (ability), Swamp Drake (+ Promo), Lost Vigil, Grim Bahir, Skycatcher, Twilight Creeper (the Projectile), Ironclad, Satanael, Infected Tower, Bandit Sorceress: Fixed a bug where the damage radius was applied at the center of a squad and not on the unit hit. They would then deal no damage when the targets were split up enough. Most noticably with projectiles that split squads themself (e.g. WindHunter) Winter Witch: fixed a bug where U1 would cast the ability of U2 Descriptive Changes (and changes to U0/1/2)
All Linked Fire cards: Shortend the upgrade description of Linked Fire cards in english and german to better fit the card All Twilight units, Amazon, Nightguard, Mindweaver, MindControl, Parasite Swarm, Lightblade, Bandit Stalker, Corsair, Firesworn, Satanael, Second Chance, Stone Shards, Undead Army, Viridya: Now properly use "unit" instead of "creature" Altar of Chaos: The Nether Bomb is now shadow with 1 orb and not 1 neutral orb anymore Altar of Nihil, Shrine of Greed, Shrine of War, Shrine of Memory, Flame Crystal, Ice Crystal, Dark Crystal, Earth Crystal, Lifestream, Kobold Inc., Fleshbender, Fountain of Rebirth, Healing Gardens, Nox Carrier, all users of Twilight Transformation, Juggernaut, Ice Guardian, Ironclad: Added initial cool-down to the description in some languages Altar of Nihil: added 40 hp to U0/1/2 and reduced the upgrade on U3 to prevent the building from being immediatly destroyed by Kobold Inc. Aura of Corruption: Replaced the word era in english with orb count in the description and added total damage Boom Brothers: now only says Ogre Soldier (like Gunner) because Goblin is not a class in the game Brannoc: removed a star on the ability, because it doesn't actually change Burrow Ritual (both), Dreadnought, Grim Bahir, Lifestream, Shrine of Martyrs: fixed spelling of transferred Death Ray: ability now uses Mode change Icon Dreadnought: Aligned description to the one of Lifestream and changed the Values accordingly Executor: fixed missing %-sign in non-english languages and corrected a russian wording Fallen Skyelf (+ promo): now correctly displays the attack speed of 1,6 instead of 2 and the attack value of 1560 instead of 1400 Fallen Skyelf: the debuff on enemy now has the correct description for U1/2/3 Fire Stalker: Removed unnecessary unit description Firesworn (both): streamlined some formulations in upgrades and base description Fixed the changes to charges on U0/1/2 for: Bandit Lancer, Fallen Skyelf, Fathom Lord, Magma Spore, Mutating Maniac, Sun Reaver, Swamp Drake, Twilight Creeper, Twilight Hag, Unstable Demon, Virtuoso, Vulcan

Hey T1421,

Sorry for answering so late.

I am glad you like the challenge, feel free to give us any feedback you like.


Yes, the Stranglehold purple does include in this.

We are aware, that some towers, that still fall under the "does damage" category, without having the damage number exist, but didnt wanted to write an exception list and therefore kept it wide spread.

You will still get those lovely 200 points, as long as the tower deals damage.

 
Hey Homerun,

This tower only needs to be completely constructed, for the challenge to be achieved.

You can destroy it when you like to or just ignore it.

hi

Greetings Skylords!

It's been two weeks already since our last community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!
Some exciting news to start off this community update: 

New cards development: starting soon

We have reached a great milestone: we are ready to create some new cards! We will release these new cards in batches, instead of a full expansion. Our plan for the first batch is to create new cards for 3 different factions, with up to 9 cards added in total. We are also planning to add affinities to some, if not all, of these cards.
As a thank you to our (Moon and higher) patrons, they will have a chance to vote on the 3 factions which we will create cards for. The two most picked factions will receive new cards. The Skylords Reborn team will then pick the last faction to create new cards for, resulting in a total of up to 9 brand new cards (excluding affinities) for the game! 
Don't worry, we plan to add new cards to each faction over time, the current voting only impacts the order of our release.
A few things to note:
• The poll will be open for one week, until the 11th of June.
• Voting happens on Patreon. Moon tier and higher Patrons will be able to vote. 
• The factions to vote for are: Fire • Frost • Shadow • Nature • Bandits • Stonekin • Lost Souls • Twilight • Amii (Nature/Shadow).
• We are currently not able to add Fire/Frost cards.
• We have not commited to a 3-3-3 split, some factions might get more or less cards, depending on their needs or design space. 
• People vote for the faction, not the actual cards. Our balance and development teams will look at what cards to add, and what role they will play.
• Since this is new territory for us, we are currently not able to say when new cards will be ready, and when the vote for the next batch will be. We will be actively working on this, but we don't want to rush out new cards.

Changes to Patreon benefits
From now on, being subscribed on Patreon with at least the Moon tier will give you a vote for the next poll. Once a new poll is here and you unsubscribed in between, we will reach out to you to ask for your vote. After a poll is done, you will only be allowed to vote in the next poll if you subscribe for at least one month again.
We hope this new flexibility will make it easier to support the project in a way you feel comfortable with.

Fire/Frost cards 
Let's talk about the elephant in the room: Fire/Frost cards. As most of you are aware, EA never released a single Fire/Frost card before the servers got shut down. Because of this, there is no cardframe for a Fire/Frost card in the game, and because of the way the game is written, it's currently not possible to add new cards for this faction.
We are however hard at work to make this possible in the future.

More factions for rPvE (on the test server)
We rolled out a change on the test server which unlocks more factions in rPvE. For example, its now possible to play against Lost Souls in 1 player rPvE. You can read the patch notes that includes this change and how to join the test server here. This is currently still being tested, so please let us know on our rPvE Discord server if you run into anything weird.
Prior to this change you could only receive:
• Luminousland, Jungleland, Winterland and Lavaland in 4 player rPvE
• Bushland, Ghostland and Twilightland in 2 player rPvE
• Greenland, Frostland and Cactusland in 1 player rPvE
We also have plans to add Shadow, Nature, Fire and Frost as enemies in the future, resulting in four more factions you might fight your way through rPvE. It's already possible to test these out in the community map section on both the test and live server. 

We hope you will enjoy this new content on the test server and we hope to bring it to the live servers soon.

New PvE Taskforce


In the last community update we shared our design philosophy. In an effort to gather good PvE feedback for the future, we are happy to announce our newly constituted PvE Taskforce! For now, we have decided to include 5 initial members:

1. Lebovim – Mapmaker, Skylord of Honor, Master of the Skylords Reborn wiki, and one of the game’s top speedrunners.
2. Keksmonsta – Top PvE player with a wide and deep knowledge of the game who has shown his ability to constructively represent the interests of the competitive PvE and speedrunner communities.
3. Volin – Very active and helpful top RPvE player. Volin’s knowledge of PvE and RPvE will help us to have the knowledge to make informed design decisions.
4. Chibiterasu – Our own beloved balancing developer, Chibi has already been partially playing this role in the background, we now want to formalize and expand it.
5. Bini Inibitor – Bini has previously proven himself full of good suggestions, the initial idea to allow heal/rejuvenation stacking should be credited to him, the further development of the idea to Chibi.
As you might have noticed, we tried to include representatives of the different segments of the Skylords community, from average players up to the game’s top speedrunners. In the future, we would like to rotate in guest members as well.
Additionally, in the near future we will be releasing a document detailing our new balancing process. While we are happy with the progress we have made recently, we also think that a more defined process with set deadlines will help us to increase our pace of development, especially as we begin adding new cards to the game. This will also come with larger changes to the balancing discord.

Upcoming Tournaments
As we mentioned in our first community update, you can also check out the new tournaments and events happening in-game. Just click the scroll on the menu and check out the event tab for the upcoming events you can participate in. 
• Official PvE Contest#1 Siege of Hope 
Our first official PvE contest is running! Play Siege of Hope Expert with a twist! Our Event Organizer has created a point system that allows multiple strategies and hopefully rewards for thinking outside of the box. Speedrunning still gets you points, but speedrunning alone won't be enough to win this one! A promo of your choice is one of the prizes, so make sure to check it out!
• Finished: Community Challenge #3: King's Ridge
The King's Ridge PvE contest has finished! Check out the winners here.
 
New Team Members
We mentioned earlier that we are looking into making Fire/Frost cards possible. A key member in this task is Kubik, who has returned to the project as Client/Reverse Engineer Developer.
We are also planning to add more server developers in the very near future to speed up progress. We are still looking for new team members however! If you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help. 

In conclusion
We are very excited to be at a point where we can actively start working towards adding new cards into Skylords Reborn. We hope you will continue to join us on the ride!
Thanks for reading! Here is a scratch code you can redeem in-game for 100bfp. The code is valid till June 19th.

Community Update #1
Community Update #2
Community Update #3

Dear Skylords, Skyladies, and other skyfolk,
As you may know I've been here a long, long time. 12 years ago on the official forums, and pretty much ever since this project started. Over those years a lot has changed, for better and for worse. Both myself and some of the veterans around here have seen the game and its dev team rise and fall more often than we'd all like to admit, but we prevailed and we held on to Nyn and the wonders of this unique RTS/TCG hybrid. BattleForge has always been a great passion of mine, as a player and as a developer.
But times change, and life changes, and as Skylords Reborn grew to the size and state that it is now, my own time had to be more and more divided. Graduation, running a full-time job, major changes in my personal life and thought processes, and the ongoing pandemic have greatly jumbled up my day-to-day life, my mind, and my available time and energy. This has had quite an impact on how well I can contribute to this project right now, and so I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't feel appropriate to be a part of the SR team for as little work as I'm able to get myself to contribute. 
It's with a heavy heart I'm saying I am, on my own accord, stepping down from the SR team for the time being, but I feel that it's necessary. This is purely personal and has nothing to do with the current team, community, or the game itself; after all, we've accomplished so much, all of us! Thanks to all of you we've actually succeeded in what many thought to be utterly impossible; to revive an entire game purely out of passion, figuring out its inner workings, and altering it to make it a 100% free, enjoyable, non-profit game to keep enjoying despite the studio having long been disbanded. I've had the pleasure of working with an already fantastic community and team on a passion project others would dream of, and over time the team's grown so much.
It's been fantastic working on Skylords for so long and the game and project still are very dear to me. Throughout the years I've learnt tremendously much and have helped to keep things afloat in both bright and darker times for the project; it's been a rollercoaster for all of us. But we got there! We got to a fantastic release and have a whole revitalised and excited team ready to support all of you for a long time to come! This project is now in better hands than I could ever have anticipated, and I am happy and confident to leave Skylords Reborn to some of the most capable people I've had the pleasure of meeting.
I'll be stepping down after having been a long-time admin, CM, moderator and designer, and though I will keep providing some advice and help in the background, I will stop being a dev and remain a player. Perhaps I'll return if my personal life allows for it in the future, but as of right now I simply don't think I can contribute enough. 
It's been an absolute honour being a part of BattleForge's development throughout well over a decade, and I want to thank everybody for their continued work, support and belief in the amazing things we've ended up accomplishing. That includes you, no matter how long you're here or if you even know me. We did it! I'm still so proud of all of us, and I am happy to know the project's in great hands. Keep up the amazing work and let the hype train rage ever onward.
Thanks for everything, until next time, and may the Forge be ever with you!
~MrXLink

Greetings Skylords!

It's been two weeks since our first community update so it's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!
PvP Balance Patch 2 (Patch 400028)
We released a patch filled with balance changes this week. You can check out the detailed patch notes on the Wiki.
Some 1vs1 maps have also been changed (no more offensive walling!) and are now added to ranked play as well. 
In the meantime, we are already setting our sights on Balance Patch 3. You can check out the upcoming changes in the document attached to this post. Those changes will hit the test server much earlier than the previous ones. This is an intended move as it allows us to work with more iterations to make sure a lot of fine tuning can be done. This patch is focused more on buffs, and many of the changes will bring some new strategies into the Forge, that require more testing compared to the previous process. On top of that this will also be an opportunity for you to test the changes a little bit longer as well to provide more playtesting feedback, that we can use to reevaluate our proposals. To join the discussion, please check out the balance discord.

PvE: State of PvE

This is the second Balance Patch focused on mostly PvP changes. We understand this might give the impression PvE is less important for us. We would like to take a bit of time to assure you this is not the case and give you an idea of things that are currently being worked on.
First of all, you can expect our Design Philosphy to be shared soon. This document was a bit delayed, but we think it's important to have a clear vision of the PvE scene going forward so everyone knows what to expect and give a better explanation of why we do the things we do.
 Of course you can always share your personal feedback in the balance discord, even if we don't respond immediately, all the feedback is important to us and is discussed. We are also planning to restructure the balance discord, you will hear more on that subject soon.
PvE is a lot harder to balance than PvP, because the playerbase is very divided on what they consider fun, fair, or part of the coregame. We know not everyone will agree with all the changes we will make in the future. We encourage you to provide feedback, but please do so in a constructed manner. We are all fans of the game, and we want what's best for it. 
PvE: Patch
Speaking of changes, there is also a PvE patch coming up. Just like with our PvP patches, we will test those changes out on the Test Server first and make adjustments where necessary. You can find all the upcoming changes in the document attached to this post.

PvE: In Development
Some cool things are also coming to PvE in the future. They are currently in various stages of development.
- Defensive Random PvE mode
Similar to a 4 player Random PvE, but instead of attacking you are defending against random enemies. We hope this will provide a fun twist to the rPvE scene. 

- Random PvE presets rework
We are reworking existing rPvE factions and adding the 4 basic elements as factions. This means in the future you might go up against Harvesters and Fire Dragons. 
- Polishing Battle Arena 
Some of you might already be familiar with Battle Arena, a fun PvP map where you get one random unit and have to score points by killing the other units. Once your unit dies, you get a new one and move slowly up the tiers. 
- New World Map Overview
Still in its early stages, but we are also considering adjusting the world map to include popular PvE community maps. There are some great gems hidden in the community map section and there might be great content waiting for you out there already that you have never discovered. 
Most of those things are not ready to go public yet, and we will use the community updates to keep you up to date on their progress. We found it important to share them with you already to show we have definitely not forgotten the PvE scene. We are always in need of map testers, map artists and map creators however, so if you want to help, please check out our open positions. 

Public Test Server
Some of you might not be aware of how easy it is to play on the test server, so here is a quick reminder. To get to the test server, all you have to do is start "LauncherTest.exe" in you Battleforge folder. On the test server you can check out the new changes that are currently being tested and provide feedback on the balancing discord. To get back to the official server, all you have to do is launch the normal launcher again. 

Upcoming Tournaments

• Skylords Open 7
This sunday (9th of May) you can again battle it out in the Skylords Open #7. A 1vs1 community tournament hosted by Toggy, open for everyone, and with prices! 
• Community Challenge 3
There is also a PvE contest going on until the 31th of May. Try to complete the community map King's Ridge as fast as you can in the Community Challange #3 for a chance to win some prices!
There are also some new events in the works, which brings us to the next point:

New Team Members
We are happy to announce two new team members have joined the Skylords Reborn team. 
First up is Minashigo Hiko, our new Event Organiser. He will be the go-to person for people who want to organize an event in Skylords Reborn. Got a cool PvE contest idea or do you want to host a PvP tournament so Toggy can actually play instead of host? Please contact Hiko and he will help you make it happen! Hiko is also hard at work at creating fun events for you to play, so look forward to that as well. 
We would like to point out that the event organizer role is not exclusive. If you want to help organizing events, you can still apply for this position as well.
We are also very excited to have MarcoMaar join the team as our new Client Developer. He will be responsible for adding new features, modifying user interfaces, or fixing bugs in our game client. Up until recently, he was working on a new ingame section, where you are able to see all of your opened boosters. Below, you can see a sneak peek of this new feature


We are still looking for new team members however! For example, we currently have a lack of Discord Moderators, which actually prevents us from being very active with our marketing (in the current state we would risk being overrun with new players without moderators). If you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help. We will also added new positions: backend web developer, frontend web developer and C# developer.

List of Discord channels
Skylords Reborn is a big project, and it can be tricky to keep track of everything that is going on. To help you with this we have started these very community updates, but if you want to be right there where the discussions are, discord is the place to be. Below you can find a complete list of all Skylords Reborn discords and their roles. If a discord channel is missing, please reach out to @Majora.

Hello Skylords and Skyladies,
Another month, another PvE Contest!
This time it is something special, because we are going to play community maps!

The map this contest is held on is called "King's Ridge". It is a community map made by Spitzkopf and polished by Emmaerzeh.
In order to play the map, you have to go to the community maps section at the very bottom right of the world map and select King's Ridge from the menu.
Emmaerzeh also made a video, in which he shows the map and plays it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcXKP6QsG9o

Due to popular request, here's a short tutorial on how to disable the autojoin chat funciton in Battlefoge:
If you follow the steps you'll be able to disable or enable the autojoin function for every chat individually and don't have to type "/leave XY" every time you start up Battlefoge.
 
1. Open your Battlefoge folder and search for the file config.json

 
2. Open the config.json file with an editor

 
3. Add or edit the highlighted part below.
To disable the autojoin funciton (does not join chat on startup) replace true with false on the corresponding line.
To enable the autojoin function (automaticly joins chat on startup) replace false with true on the corresponding line.
  "chat": {
    "autojoinbeginner": true,
    "autojoinlfg": true,
    "autojoinstrategy": true,
    "autojointrade": true,
    "fontsize": 0
  },

 
4. Save config.json

 
5. Start-up Battleforge and enjoy your new settings
If you have difficulties reply to this thread or directly msg me on the forum.
 
Additional information:
Check out other chat functions ingame by clicking on the speakbouble in the bottom left corner of the chat window.

Helping -> no, you cant change the current price.
But Charts are pretty ?
And you could see easily that Enlightenment is currently falling or that Amii Monument found a nice spot at  1800 - 1900

Hello everyone.
I'll keep it short. Past few months, I've been working on our web API that is completely public and available for everyone to use. I've also created simple, functional (but stylistically not very pretty) user interfaces that visualize and consume the said API.
User interface applications are open-sourced on my GitHub. The repository also contains complete instructions on how to consume the API yourselves, if you were to decide to create your own frontend applications. But, you have to be somewhat profficient in web development to understand and begin doing stuff on your own. 
Issues tab is to be used freely for any and all suggestions and bug reports.
Pull Requests that improve and extend the existing UIs are more than welcome. After manual review, they might get merged into the master branch and appear as a part of the next website update. 
Links:
GitHub repository: https://github.com/fiki574/Skylords-Reborn-API-UI Statistics: https://stats.skylords.eu/ Auctions: https://auctions.skylords.eu/ Leaderboards: https://leaderboards.skylords.eu/ All applications are caching data periodically, so you're actually "querying" the in-memory data, and not the database directly, which does not have any kind of impact on the game servers and database itself. Have in mind these applications are also the first version, they will definetly get improved and extended, as well as the API.
For some of you, these applications and the API open up whole lot of possibilities.
For example, now you could create an application that tracks the average price of every card and makes a nice graph. You could even extend the search options with card orbs, expansion, rarity, etc. 
Or you could create an application that tracks all auctions for a specific card and sends you a mail or push notification when a card appears on the auction house, but is equal or below the specified price.
Average concurrent players/matches graph could be visualized by querying the Statistics API every 2/5/X minutes.
Those of you who understood everything said and know what you're doing, will use this to its maximum potential.
Have fun!

@T1421 Thanks for the report. I have an update ready for tomorrow which will hopefully put an end to these gold chest issues. I will write here once the update goes online, please test afterwards.

Hmmm improve yes, but not solve in my case…
I set all to low / off and still have the skips.
https://gofile.io/?c=iT9hAC

Hey there,
 
I think I can assist at this point, because I notice the same “micro lags”.
(But it thinks they are not as noticeable as the one from EvilCookie)
Here is a Full HD Clip with a countdown to the lags / framers / animations skips:

And here one to the original files:

if you need more information let me know.
