Minashigo Hiko

I'm considering (still) learning nothing about PvP and just participate if I can make the time free.... especially in the Rookie Tournement, there need to be some real Losers 😃

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings.

It has been some time since the last event and now we are back!
Welcome, to our first PvP Rookie Contest, where every participant gets a booster!

What kind of event will it be?

PvP 1vs1 - Rookie - Best of 3 (Bo3) - Double Elimination (format might change if enough participate)
All Rookies from far and wide,
are welcome to join us in a fight!
We want to see you brawl, compete and maul,
live on stage.. Fight them all.
No real restrictions, not many rules.. Show us what you got and claim the pot.

Join Toggy and Hiko this Friday afternoon, to the clashes of swords!

When will it start?

We are accepting entries until the start of the tournament (08.10.2021 18:00 CEST).
We will stream the tournament on the official Twitch channel of Skylords Reborn.
The stream will start 17:30 CEST.

How can I participate?

Since we already have some experience from past tournaments hosted by Toggy, we will also host this tournament on Challonge.
You can register for the tournament there. You will also find the bracket on Challonge at the start of the tournament. Please use the name of your ingame account to speed up communication in finding your opponent

What are the rules?

The access to this tournament will be restricted to players only, who...
... are not pvp gold rank or above
... have a w/l ratio of below 60%
... feel like they are rookies
Please note: this tournament is for our less experienced players, we will personally check the entries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No bug abuse, cheating or insulting other players. Penalties may vary from a warning to default loss.
  Disconnecting during a game results in a default loss. It is possible to have a remake, if both sides agree.
  Not showing up to your match after 15 minutes results in a default loss. The plan is to play a round of matches every ~30 mins.
  After your match, go to Challonge and insert the result. This is done by clicking on your match and selecting the winner/stats . The brackets will be updated automatically.
  Use your account name for the tournament. If your Challonge account differs from your Battleforge account name use the "Sign up with an alternate name" feature or change your name for the tournament in the settings. This will speed up finding your opponent. If you do not register for the tournament with your Battleforge name we can't find you for the prizes! 
   You follow all restrictions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first match of every round will be played on the following fixed maps, after that it is the losers choice.

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!
 

Deep Dive: Rarities
As our development of new cards continues, a frequently asked question is the upcoming rarities. These will be the first brand new cards for Skylords Reborn, so we want to have a system in place to provide insights on what makes a card common, uncommon, rare or ultra rare. We have explored this in a document, providing a deep dive into the rarities EA used in their first edition for the game: the Twilight Edition. Even though these are not always consistent, and expansions have not made things any easier, we still can take some lessons from the current distribution and apply it going forward. 
If you are interested in the thought process behind card rarities and how we will decide them for our new cards, you can read the full document here: Designing_for_Card_Rarity.pdf
And in case you missed them, here are the rarity icons for our new cards:

 
Test Server Patch Notes
Iteration 17 of our test server is here! Check out the patch notes. This patch mainly finalizes the PvP changes which will soon hit the live server. Please keep in mind that these changes are all relative to the previous iteration. The final PvE changes will go live in the next iteration. 
There are also some noteworthy requested general changes in this iteration. We fixed the inventory sorting, which should now properly sort the cards as specified. We also added a power well and a monument for each player in the forge. You can now test out all your damage combo's without the need to find a building that has exactly the same amount of health as these buildings. 
We also made another change to the game that will certainly be the topic of many conversations in the future. We added a preliminary fix so units in PvE maps always have correct orb and power costs. This means that certain abilities, like e.g. Nightguard Swap or Mindcontrol cannot ignore the orb requirements anymore. Please note these changes will not be included in the next live server patch. We want to test and gather feedback before making a change like this, but first had to figure out if it was even possible. You can discuss these and other changes on our balance discord.

Next Live Patch Delayed
Because of a delay of the Test Server Patch we sadly also have to delay the Live Patch we were hoping to release this week. Since this is going to be a big one, we need a little more time to make sure all the bugs (not you Scythe Fiend) are taken care of before we patch to live. Please be patient a bit longer, we are still hoping for a release in August. 



Special Effect Tool
Last Community Update we gave you a sneak peek at our new special effect tool. With the this tool we will be able to create fancy new spells and effects. Even though we are currently not able to add new models to the game, this is a great step in allowing us to create new visually appealing content. 
We are looking for players who are interested in learning how to create special effects and give feedback on how to improve the tool. If you are interested in this, please reach out to Ladadoos on Discord for a quick explanation. We have plans to open source the editor in the future.

Now that we have hosted two official events, we are looking for some feedback regarding both the events and the stream to improve upon them where possible. Feedback is anonymous and can be provided here. Please keep the feedback constructive and understand we do this in our free time. 

• Finished: Community Tournament: Toggy's Tome Invitational
If you played BattleForge back in the day you might remember Tomes. In this gamemode you get a selection of boosters that you have to use to build your deck with, after which you play PvP matches. While Tomes got discontinued around the end of BattleForge and are not available in Skylords Reborn, Toggy hosted a limited-access event last weekend to relive the experience. It was a great success, with crazy off-meta plays and is bound to return. For now you can rewatch the stream in case you missed it. 

• NEW : Community Tournament: Toggy's Tome Tournament - August 22th
A new tome tournament has been announced! This one is open for everyone, but you need to sign up in advance by contacting Toggy. This will be another Tome tournament, meaning you will build a deck with a selection of random cards and play PvP matches with them. Sign up and read the details about it here. 

• Host your own event / tournament
Want to host a tournament or event? Please reach out to our Event Organizer Hiko to have your event prizes sponsored by us. If you have 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 Team Members / Open Positions
We are happy to welcome a new member to the team: Kerkk has joined us as a web developer! 
We could definitely need some more help with the Skylords Reborn project however.
Below are three roles highlighted, but you can find more information, desired traits and all our open positions here. 
Open Position - Map Tester 
As a map tester you get early access to new maps and gamemodes and are responsible to playtest them and provide feedback to the other map developers about possible issues or improvements. This includes check how balanced the map is, how fun it is to play, if there are any exploits, if areas on the map need to be prettified etc. Map developers/designers/artists should be able to rely on you to make sure maps that are released or changed are done so properly.

Open Position - Marketeer / Outreach Coordinator
As a Marketeer / 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 streamers, youtubers, Discord channels, game magazines, among others. You will be responsible for the communication to and from interested parties and for any promotion deals (for example involving scratch codes). Please note that Skylords Reborn cannot do any paid promotions.

Open Position - Artist
As an artist you are responsible to create the visuals required for new content. This is a broad position and there are many areas where you could help in, depending on your skills and interests. Think of loading screen artwork for new maps, card artwork for new cards, visual UI elements for new features that involve adding UI to the game, banners for events/tournaments/community challenges/large game updates etc. Our current artist Tweeto is hard at work on new cards, but he can only do so much. If you have the skills and want to speed up the progress, please reach out to us. 
 

In Conclusion

Another great read! Again, Good job!!!
true true
Thank you again!

Hey Volin, 

We originally planned to stream 19:00 CEST but out of personal reasons I sadly have to move the stream to Monday...
I am currently not feeling that well and do not want to force a stream for you guys, because you deserve a fun stream like last time.

I hope you guys can understand and sorry for moving the date, I will see you all on Monday 19:00 CEST.
Because of this you will need to wait two more days to have the winners announced 😉

 

Sounds amazing, frost was my first color I played in the origional bf and still love it.
One addion what I think would be cool, maybe make winter witch also avaibel for freezing buildings, that would be some nice extra do use her not just passive and makes her more use as also as an offensive force. 
Special with the shattered ice synergy. 

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.

Community Update #6

yeah .... I mean.... why not 😉

Hey all,

as requested, I will now upload all replays 🙂
Official PvE Contest#1 Siege of Hope.zip
I am sorry for the delay, have fun!

In this case,the sole purpose of this card is to deal damage, so an offensive spell.

I am sorry, of course I can do this. I will also upload the replays of the last tournament. I somehow forgot this.
 
My intention never was to have more people win prizes, or to lower the quality of the runs. There are people who would disagree with you and actually like the fact that different decks aren't compared with each other.
You still Can focus on one perfect run, because of the special award. The fastest of all submissions will receive a promo.
I agree, that we went a bit overboard with the amount of possibilities and will defenitly tune this down.
But for now, everything will stay as it is. I do not prefer to change a lot of things afterwards as people are already participating with the current rules.
 
We are still experimenting with all kinda of events and their possible complexity and one or two things we realised for this event are, that there are too many distractions to the main competition.
 
I thank you a lot for your feedback, because with feedback like this we can make future events only better.
 
I hope that we will see a lot of awesome replays and some competition spirit.

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! 

I think there was a little misunderstanding with why I did this.
 
The main reason, why I put these two together, was to prevent the possibilities  that you participate for this challenge and there are not enough competitors to get a reward and therefore just wasted your time.
 
My intention was not to combine them until the end of the event, maybe my disclaimer wasn't clear enough or not clear at all.
I will split these two awards when there are enough participants for splitting.
I will even split them more up (submission type oriented) if there are enough participants for each submission.
 
Please be not scared away of participating by this change.
 
I am well aware, that solo and duo are pretty hard to compare.
 

😄 last map missing - time to get running
