    Hello again Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; The contest is over, and it's time to announce the winners!

    But first, I’d like to thank everyone for making the Crappy Community Contest happen - no matter in what way: participation, sponsoring prizes, spreading the word or helping me to organize it. I received so much support and even more nice words - maybe a small apology for the amount of crappy advertisements is also in order 😉
    In total, we reached a total number of 130 participants, more than double of our goal. Thanks to the Skylords Team for sponsoring the code CRAP-YCMN-TYCO-NTES
     
    Here are the fastest Skylords of the CCC #1:
    1st place          01:27.4       arabika
    2nd place         01:28.0       Damo
    3rd place          01:29.5       Hirooo
    4th place          01:30.4       RadicalX
    5th place          01:32.5       Treim
    6th place          01:34.6       Dolewan
    7th place          01:36.4       THE_BIG_WET
    8th place          01:39.7       Dutchy
    9th place          01:41.5       _empty_
    10th place        01:42.1       Hiko
    11th place        01:44.5       Bini_Inibitor
    12th place        01:45.4       Wanky
    13th place        01:46.3       batika
    14th place        01:47.5       Zorgok
    15th place        01:48.4       Relictook
    16th place        01:48.5       SylarXXI
    Upper 50% share: The split share of the 3000 bfp is only 46 BFP each - the high number of participants takes its toll here.
    Lower 50% draw:
    Draw 1      DeityExcalibur           Enlightenment
    Draw 2      Endimion                  Amii Monument
    Draw 3      Karl_Marx                 Rageflame (B)
    I will send you the prizes as soon as possible through ingame mail.
     
    Replays and Strategy
    Here are the replays of the Top-3 entries - copy them into your Replay folder to watch them:
    CCC1_01-27-4_arabikaa.pmv CCC1_01-28-0_Damo.pmv CCC1_01-29_5_Hirooo.pmv
    For those who just want to quickly know how the time is achieved without watching, here is a short description: 

    With this new knowledge, if you want to try for yourself, please remember that the Map of the Month gets switched pretty soon.
     
    In conclusion
    Thanks again to all who helped to make this happen. What I can tell so far is that the series will continue, CCC-2 has already been discussed with the Event Managers - but before that my guess is that we will see some other contests/events.
    If you have a crappy idea for future CCC's you may share and discuss that with me, maybe you can host your own Crappy Contest! Feel free to contact me. If you want to discuss or host any other kind of contest, contact our Event Managers Hiko and/or Metagross. They are super supportive and will help you to organize your own event!

    Hello everyone 😄
    As the title suggests, I would like to try to accomplish the tutorial deck challenge. For those unfamiliar, the tutorial deck challenge is about completing all expert maps with an upgraded tutorial deck. 

    I think the main challenge of the maps will be the charges. Since I will have only limited time, and I do not want the people watching to wait for charge cooldown, I though I might make my own tutorial deck of 7 cards. 


    I am going to stream my first attempts in the week between Christmas and New Years. Afterwards I will upload the successful runs on YouTube and put the replays in this topic. 
    If you have any tips for me, feel free to put them below.

  9. Dutchy liked a post in a topic by Zyna in Patch #400031 - 18 December 2021   
    Hello everyone, we received a lot of bug reports and suggestions from you in regards to this patch. We were hard at work and are shipping a hotfix patch today! Below you can find the changelist.

    General changes
    - Added a gold penalty for completing advanced and expert campaign maps faster than 10 minutes.
      This affects disenchants and the base reward of 12 player maps, but not treasure chests.
      Maps completed faster than 5 minutes will only yield 25% of the previously earned gold.
      Maps completed between 5 and 10 minutes use a penalty term of (X - 300) / (300) * 0.75 + 0.25,
      where X is the amount of seconds spent in-game. A full gold rework is currently being worked on, so this is intended as a short-term fix.
    - Changed the auction market filter to not display any results if there are no matches to a given filter.
    - Changed the inventory filter to show neutral cards, even if all 4 colors are deselected.

    General fixes
    - Fixed contacts button not aligned properly during in-game matches and replays.
    - Adjusted text about free pvp to say every day instead of every week.
    - Fixed an issue where slow internet connections would cause errors with Reforging.
    - Fixed promos not being announced in the chat.
    - Fixed mails not being returned properly after 30 days.
    - Fixed progression with achievements which require you to play certain factions. They should now work again.
    - Fixed the behaviour of the orb color buttons, they should not include splashes unless specified.
    - Fixed the "Rare" filter in the auction market.
    - Fixed an issue where some orbs and gold chests on Bad Harvest and Gun of Lyr were not working properly.

    Card fixes
    Amii Paladins:
        - Adjusted upgrade formatting to be consistent with other squads.
        - Added hyphen in German cardname.

    Banzai Lord (Both affinities):
        - Added correct spacing in upgrades.

    Banzai Lord (Nature affinity):
        - Removed obsolete sentence from description.

    Battleship:
        - Added correct value for splash range on cannons in the description (5m => 10m).

    Brannoc (player card):
        - Added flame effect for his sword.

    Brannoc (rpve fire boss):
        - Added extra-large-flame effect for his sword.

    Coat of Protection (both affinities):
        - Added new effect.
        - Removed "Activate, to" phrasing in description.
        - Renamed German version to "Mandel des Schutzes", to avoid linebreaks on the card.
        - Fixed english cardname on non-english versions of the game.
        - Added translations for untranslated upgrade descriptions.

    Coat of Protection (Shadow affinity):
        - Fixed wrong affinity color in description.
        - Fixed wrong spell effect name.

    Ice Age (both affinities):
        - Corrected upgrade translations to match the English version.

    Aspect of Summer (fire rPvE):
        - Added missing russian class name.

    Temple of Fire (fire rPvE):
        - Renamed from "Temple Of Fire" to fix capitalization in name.

    That's it for now! We hope you have been enjoying the new content thus far and we are looking forward to your continued bug reports and feedback!

    Best regards
    Zyna

    The contest recieved some donations from generous Skylords, so the price pool has been updated.

    Edit: I am baffled by the amount of additional donations I recieved, and instead of giving everything to the "Top" I added a random draw of two really good cards for the lower half of entries - that seemed more appropriate for a community contest.

    Hello fellow Skyladies and Skylords!
    Another 1on1 tournament, who will take the title this time?
    Since it is on a Wednesday and we have to keep it short: every match will be best of ONE until bracket finals and grand finals.
     

    When?
    On Wednesday 22.12.21 starting on 7pm CET (Berlin time), the stream will start about 30 minutes in advance.
     
    Format
    The tournament will be played as a 1on1 best of 1 double elimination tournament, grand finals and winner/lower-bracket finals will be best of 3.
     
    Prize Pool! (subject to change)
    1st place  - One of every new card.
    2nd place - Banzai Lord + Bandit Minefield
    3rd place - Coat of protection + Amii Paladins

    Bounty: Beat RadicalX in a set to gain 3 extra boosters. (if he participates)
    Big thanks to the devs who sponsor the prizes!
     
    Organisation and sign-up
    The tournament brackets will be on Challonge, so register and join the tournament there.
    Please use your in game account name to make communication and finding your enemy easier.

    The streaming channel that will be covering the tournament is DasToggy on twitch.tv.
    In case of problems contact me or one of my mods via Discord, Battleforge or on twitch.
    Twitch mods: LynnTaki

    Rules (read this!)
    • The Map Pool is: 1st round: Haladur, 2nd round: Simai, 3rd: Elyon, 4th: Lajesh, 5th: Uro and 6th: Yrmia (same pool as in ranked duel).
    The first match of the round will be played on the fixed map, then it is losers choice. The winning player (who won the previous match in the bo3) also has to lock in his deck first. Only the bracketfinals are bo3 rest is bo1!
    • Disconnection during a game results in a default loss. If both sides agree it is possible to have a remake.
    • 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. That is done by clicking on your match and selecting the winner/stats . The brackets will be updated automatically.
    • The brackets for the tournament will be shuffled before the tournament starts.
    • Use your Battleforge 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. Finding your opponent will be a LOT easier this way.

    Questions
    Reply in this thread if you have questions, I will check it out later.

    Greetings Skyfolk!
    This update contains our fourth balance patch for the game, brand new cards, and many other changes, enjoy!
    Check out our recent community update for more information.


    Feedback to these changes can be given on the balancing discord. When you give feedback make sure to properly support your reasoning by including replays or video footage.
    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.

    Changes
    A detailed list of all changes can be found on the wiki. However, since the patch notes are quite long, we prepared a summary document for you! You can find it attached to this post.
