MERRY CHRISTMAS to All Skylords Staffs.... you guys are amazing, especially those who started this....
 

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.

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

Kind reminder to everyone that this is happening today. Sign-up if you want to play! 

CCC#2 is already in the works - the Concept is done but super secret of course 😄

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.

Hey everyone,
we have a stream date!
The winners will be announced on January 2nd, 6pm CET!
I hope to see you all there 🙂

Looks pretty meta to me. Most of strongest commons in game in one deck.

Aiming for 3rd place then! ^^

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.
Best regards,

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. 
Patch_400031_-_December_18_2021.pdf

People, good work. No company stands behind you. You gathered here for the love of the game and after more than 6 years you finally brought this game back and take it to a new level. CONGRATULATIONS !!!🏆🏅💪👏

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; and welcome to CCC #1 - the very first Crappy Community Contest!
 
 
THE CONTEST HAS ENDED.
To see the winners, scroll down below. If you are just here to grab the booster code, there you go:  CRAP-YCMN-TYCO-NTES
 
 
 
What are “Crappy Community Contests”?
This and future CCCs are meant to be super-small-scale contests with weird challenges, hopefully luring you away from well-trodden paths. They are small scale on the organizers side too: there will not be a stream, video or event announcing the winners. What's special about this contest is a participation price for the whole community.
 
What, when, where, how?
There are no special rules for this contest besides one:
rPVE 1 (Map of the Month) - Fastest time wins 

Small groups of bandits escaped from the rPVE9 contest. Kill them fast! 
 
The contest has started already! Submit your replay of your fastest rPVE 1 1-Player MotM run through Discord (DM to Kapo#0116, please include your IGN) or the Skylords Forum (DM to Kapo) until 26.12. 23:59:59 (= 7 days time total).

You can submit multiple times, but only your fastest one will count. Please note that the Top 3 Replays will be posted here in the forums.
You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays
 
What's the prize pool?
Since this is not just a Crappy Contest, but a Crappy Community Contest, you may earn a price for the whole Community. If we reach more than 30 participants (unique players, not entries), you will unlock a Mini-Booster code for the whole Skylords Community. If more than 50 participants enter, it will be upgraded to a Booster instead of a Mini-Booster. So tell your fellow Skylords to do a quick run, rPVE 1 is less than three minutes but it raises our chances to hand out a code for everybody. 
 
The fastest skylords will get small prices too, sponsored by myself and other skylords:
1st place               1000 bfp + Easter Egg + Bandit Minefield + Nether Warp (G)
2nd place              500 bfp + Wheel of Gifts + Matter Mastery (G) + Grinder P
3rd place               250 bfp + Worldbreaker Gun + Rogan Kayle + Grinder P
4rd place               100 bfp + Church of Negation + Bandit Sniper + Grinder R
5rd place               100 bfp + Home Soil  + Bloodhorn (R) + Grinder R
6rd place               100 bfp + Battleship + Matter Mastery (G)
7rd place               100 bfp + Ashbone Pyro + Cultist Master
8rd place               75 bfp + Cultist Master + Ravenheart
9th place                50 bfp + Corsair + Ravenheart
10th place              50 bfp + Ravenheart + Plague
11th place              Crystal Fiend (G) + Aggressor G
12th place              Plague + Frost Crystal
13th place              Amii Paladins + Mountain Rowdy P
14th place              Amii Paladins + Coldsnap +
15th place              Soulhunter B + Soulhunter P
16th place              4 Crystals (Dark/Flame/...) and 2  Amii Phantoms as a Consolation Prize 😉

Upper 50%             Split share of 3000 BFP
Lower 50%             One random Skylord in the lower half recieves Enlightenment, another one Rageflame (B), another one Amii Monument.
Last Place               Juice Tank (x4)
In the unlikely case of a tie, the run that has been submitted earlier gets the higher placement in the ranks.
If one or more mighty Skylords decides to sponsor this event, please contact me, I would be more than happy to upgrade the price pool. My special thanks to the SR Team for supporting a community prize idea. Also a big thanks to the following Skylords for sponsoring cards and/or BFP:
