Can't talk for the whole team but:

Love for the game. Me and most of us were there when the original servers were down, and I was pretty devastated about it, having wonderful memories of playing it with my brother, ex girlfriend and friends. Its quite rare (especially for an online-only game) to be revived, so I personally count my blessing to be able to enjoy it once more. 

Potential. This game is super unique. I have not encountered anything like it. While it has some issues because of this (how on earth do you market this?) I still fully believe in what this game has to offer, and still hold on to hope that sometimes it will be discovered by the right group of people. 

New players. We still have an influx of new players coming in, either returning from the EA days, or finding the game as its own thing. This is not a case of a group of people slowly dwindling, there are people coming in and going out. 

Non-active players. While active players go up and down, there is still a large number of players with warm feelings towards Skylords Reborn, as we tend to see with, f.e. the Yearly Feedback Survey. As was mentioned in this topic already, we also see numbers go down a bit during summer time in general. I also don't expect people to continue playing daily for 2+ years straight. There is only so much content to experience and replay. But most of them keep a close eye on the project and return for big patches or other exciting changes. Leading to:

Upcoming new Campaign Maps. When I joined the team, one of my first pushes was for new cards to enter development. The team achieved bringing back BattleForge into a playable state, but if we wanted it to not face the same fate, we had to keep improving on it, and the easiest way to communicate new stuff is new cards. But new cards only do so much for time spend playing the game; we need people to actually have new content to play. Achievements, rPvE Nature and Fire and the upcoming 9.5 difficulty are good examples of this (and previously mentioned Map Modifiers will also do a ton for replayability) . But the biggest ask from the Community has been New Campaign Maps. We still have this up our sleeve, and I fully expect a lot of those non-active players will return to take a look once we start releasing them. Non-active players need a hook to come back, and I expect this will do the trick.

The Community. Skylords Reborn has an amazing community. Its a bit of a cliché for a Community Manager to say this is the best community to be in, but honestly, the absolute majority of our players are amazing! When things get rough, I sometimes take a look at the kind words our players mention in f.e. the Survey. At the end of the day, everyone is grateful for all the hours we pour into this, and its important to remember this.
Though I will admit, sometimes I wish some players remember a bit more that we do this in our free time as well 😅 There have been a couple of moments where some of our teammembers, myself included, got very demotivated by the way certain players expressed their disagreement. So to everyone reading, if I could ask for a single favor to keep the motivation up for both me and the team; please keep in mind we are all volunteers. We do not get paid, yet we show up day after day, working on the game while we have a lot of things to deal with, both in Skylords Reborn and outside of it. Most of us combine the hours we pour into this game with a job, study, kids, marriage, etc, to the point where we don't even have time to play the game we put so much hours in as much as we would like. We love the game, and want to see it succeed, and for that we absolutely want to hear your feedback, we create this game for our players after all. But be constructive, and be kind. It really goes a long way for our motivation and the health of the project. 
Thank you for being a part of this game. ❤️
 

Hey.

Its been about 12 month since i started playing Skylords Reborn, and ive had a blast playing it everyday. One of the things that has always been a big deal for me, has been the Promo cards. but when i started out as a new player, they just seemed out of reach, because of the exspensive price tag. Looking back there is alot of things i could have done better and more efficiently. But if i could give myself some advice back then it would be this.

Consider selling Boosters.
"I know i know. everybody else is getting Promos in the chat left and right." - Its fake propaganda.
"But, but Demon, if i sell a Booster theres 99% chance of being a top dollar card in it" - Naa its a Mountain Rowdy everytime.

But lets say that the chance for a promo in a booster is around 0.5%
So thats 200 Boosters opened Pr. promo The value range for the Promos vary alot 1200 BFP up to 22000 BFP
Ive now opened 330 Boosters total, and gotten 1 Promo Viridya worth roughly 12000 BFP

So lets say i sold 50% of the boosters 165x420 = 69300 BFP 
69300 BFP thats nearly enough to buy all Promo cards below. or 40 copies of Infect.


 
 


Its commen knowledge. that Promos are stronger than the original version, because it looks cooler.

Thats very kind, thank you so much 🙂

Amazing. Great job again

These updates always makes my day.

On a personal note; it is hard to believe this is Community Update 30 already! Preparing and writing these always takes much more time than expected, but I hope its appreciated by the playerbase.
Community Updates started out as a way to keep the playerbase informed about all the work going on behind the scenes, as we are always working on more content, quality of life fixes or other ways to expand upon Skylords Reborn, even if it can take a while for a new patch to go live. All of this is done by a team of about 35 volunteers working in different departments on their evenings, weekends or holidays, alongside their job, studies and social responsibilities. It's always impressive to me to see how much we get done and are willing to invest into a fan project for no profit. Sometimes the workload can be a lot, but I am extremely grateful for the fact BattleForge was not only resurrected and I get to play it again, but I also get to work with a bunch of talented and passionate people in a great community. 
Lets celebrate another year of Skylords together, and I hope to see you during the stream and in the Forge. 😄

Cool stuff!! 🎃

That new Walker card, walked right into my heart

Great walk

 

That card is awesome! I play it regularly over Motivate in Emberstrike (with nature orb) or Rifle Cultist spam decks. In Deathray decks it shines most though, since it also can replace the need for Healing Gardens.

Yes, for sure a better-Motivate. In the worst case it comes up to the same but you have the healing buff and in the best case you keep even the unit.

Feel a bit bad I did not test it in deep before. But played no Amii-Decks lately

EDIT-PS: Use it in non-bandit Emberstike decks... that is genius!

Great job!

The map is very well made 🎃

Like it - could replace one of my former Amii decks which is not playble anymore due to the Watcher changes
 

Looks like a fun creative deck. I always appreciate seeing our redesigned cards finding their place in people's decks.

Hey
I want to show a deck of mine, the deck is stronger than it looks, It has a ton of dmg, and just melts bosses, i have played all the S tier decks, and this is my most fun deck.


lets go over how it works, and how to approch each tier.

Tier 1 S: 6 Forsaken + Soul Splicer G + Motivate - Remebmer to build Embalmers shrine early, so you dont have to wait for the 60sec CD later
Tier 2 SS: 2-3 Shadow Phoenix + Rescource boosters (you might have to wait with the Resource Boosters depending on how much in a rush your lane mate is in)
Tier 3 SSN: You should have some Forsaken and Shadow Phoenix left, support them with Frenetic Assult and Infect. Use Cultist master with Furnace of Flesh for void Return.
Tier 4 SSNN : Enlightenment into Forest Elder as your first unit. Now you are ready to start clearing, spawn Necrofurys and Voidmaws. The complete army looks like this:

1x Forest Elder
4x Necrofury 
12x Void Maw

Spawning the complete army wont take long, since the units are cheap, and Forest Elder cuts 30% of the cost.

So what makes this deck any good ?
The magic happens with Green Peace, you attack move the camp, cast Green Peace on the camp, and the camp will no longer fight back. So you can basicly stand outside the Green Peace ring, and just Nuke the camp nice and easy. Normally i dont attack with Forest elder i just keep him close to the group, so all units get +25% increased damage. If you are clearing with a teammate, he/she will watch with excitement, while enjoying inner peace.
If theres a Boss in the Camp, you can kill him fast, while the whole camp just watches without fighting back.

Boss Melting Easy mode:
Forest Elder + 25% dmg
Void Maw + 30% dmg taken to target
Long range units, wont get effected by the bosses abilitys like Silence/Freeze/Burn

Utility and damage spells:
The deck has spells for all situations.

Green Peace and Nether Warp are fun spells, that can give your teammates the helping hand, they didnt even know they needed 😇  (💩)

Awesome deck, and great explanation. I would like to add 1 thing. 

For people who will to try out this, or similar kinds of decks:

If you play Resource Booster as you get Tier 2 (or 3) on all your current wells, and you need to enlighten a Tier 4 unit after (Batariel, forest elder, Dreadnough or any other), please avoid building the 2 wells at the tier 4 camp. The initial payment of 200 power for a pay-off in about 3 min is not worth the delay on your units.
When/if you play a buff Batariel deck, never build the 2 wells as you cycle through your power anyways with SoW/cultist+FoF. The chance is very low you actually be spending the 900 power you got when you enter the last few camps.
