    Hello Skyladies and Skylords,
    PvE League is starting soon!

    When?
    Start: February 6, 2023
    End: April 3, 2023
    Duration: 8 weeks
     
    What if I start when the season has already started?
    Please feel free to join us at any time during the season, you will still be eligible for end of season, achievement and bonus challenge prizes. Late participants will not be able to make up for missed challenges.
     
    What is it?
    Compete against other players of similar abilities and ranks in a series of challenges consisting of campaign and rPvE maps. All info about the challenges and rules can be found on our website HERE!
     
    Who can participate?
    We have 4 league divisions, to determine which one suits you best each division is summarized here:
    Rookie League - Restricted to newer players with PVE ranks 10 (gold 2) or below*
    Pro League - Open to everyone PVE rank 11 (gold 3) or above, challenges will be at an expert level.
    Elite League - Open to everyone, PVE rank 13 (platinum 1) or above is recommended, challenges will be at an expert level. Elite league challenges are designed to be difficult; our objectives are designed to block most traditional speed running strategies, players will be required to think outside the box.
    Master League - Open to all, however we highly recommend a minimum PVE rank of 15 (platinum 3) because it requires an in-depth knowledge of all cards & maps. Masters league challenges are the same as Elite League but with an added twist.
    League admins reserve the right to reallocate you to a different division if we feel your capabilities and skills does not fit the division you registered for.

    *deadline is on league start, you're allowed to progress your rank afterwards

    I CANNOT STOP! But truly, already submitted my entries, but my head just wants to keep going 🥲
     
    Name: Possesed Fortress
    Tier & Orbs: T3, Frost, Shadow and Frost/Shadow
    Type: Building
    Power: 175
    Hit points and Size: 3195
    Attack value and Type: 2400
    Passive Abilities: 
    Ghost Turrets - Every 3 seconds, 8 turrets deal 50 damage each to enemies in 5m radius, up to 75 in total. Knocks back small units. Can attack only ground troops.
    Ray of Despair - Every 4 seconds, unit casts an energy lance that deals 110 damage to enemies in a 12m radius around it's target, up to 165 in total. Can only attack airborne entities.
    Cadaver Walls - Possesed Fortress can collect corpses from fallen enemies every 5 seconds, storing the avaible energy. When damaged, the Fortress will use up this stored energy to heal itself, using 1:1 ratio of energy to HP. Maximum storage capacity is 750 lifepoints. Maximum healing is 150 hp every second.
    Uses Stronghold model as a base.
    Explanation of idea behind the card:
    Well, Lost Souls buildings are mostly lackluster. Only faction defense is Lost Launcher, while on higher tiers player has to rely on pure Shadow/Frost cards. Time to change that!
    Possesed Fortress provides that mid-to early late game defense, which can hold its own against both ground and air troops. It can also use the corpses to heal itself, while having only limited storage for balance purposes. Its not meant to be completely sustainable in every situation, but with perfect conditions (or some support) this building can hold the line very well.

    Happy new year, Skylords!
    A new year; a new Community Update! It's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

    • 2nd Anniversary Stream

    The 18th of December marked the 2nd Anniversary of Skylords Reborn! Two years ago, after many years of internal development and open stress tests, BattleForge was playable once again. We are very grateful for all your continued enthusiasm and support! 
    On the anniversary, we hosted a celebration stream. If you missed it, you can view it on our YouTube channel. We will also cover most of the announcements in this Community Update.
    Please note: The Anniversary Card Creation Contest ends today. If you want to participate, do so now! 
     



    • Upcoming Content Patch

    Sadly, our upcoming Content Patch which was planned for December didn't make it in time. The combination of many things to review (including our new feature Cosmetics) and the busy holidays proved to be a bit too ambitious. 
    Since the upcoming patch will break replays due to the many balance changes deployed alongside it, we know it's far from ideal for events to not have a set patch date. We are doing our best to release the patch as soon as possible in early January, but sadly can't lock in a concrete date yet.
    Please keep an eye on the Discord and the forum for more information in the coming days. 


    • Upcoming Feature: Cosmetics

    For our first anniversary patch, we had Reforging as our big new feature, focusing on improving the economy. 
    For our second anniversary, Cosmetics will be introduced as a way to provide more challenges and collectibles. 
    Players will be able to collect new borders, banners and titles, further customizing their experience. Here is a look at the new borders:  
     

     
    Borders are the part of your profile that surround your character portrait. With the patch release, there will be two borders to choose from for each of the different elements/factions in the game. The first border is a simple but clean colour scheme, where the second level expands on the theme of the faction a bit more, like more vines for Nature or infestation for Twilight. 
    Borders can be combined with Banners, here is an example: 
     

     
    Banners, borders, and profile pictures can be freely combined to make unique combinations. There will also be new titles to unlock. An example of a title can be seen in the picture, above the name, in this case "Game Master". 
    Your cosmetics will show up in the lobby, and when hovering over players in the chat list.   
     

     
    Those new banners, borders, titles (and a few new profile pictures), are tied to new Achievements, which provide a variety of new challenges. Some will be rewarded simply by playing games with your favourite action, while others might ask you to complete the campaign using only cards from the Twilight Edition. 
    We hope you are looking forward to a bunch of new challenges to explore, and new bling to show off! 
     
    • Upcoming New Promo: Worldbreaker Gun

    While our new cards Sanctuary and Raven Walker had already been announced in previous Community Updates, we had one more surprise in store in our stream: our next promo card and the first promo building: Worldbreaker Gun! 

    In this year's feedback survey, people let us know loud and clear they would like to see buildings get the promo treatment. The newly buffed Worldbreaker Gun felt like the perfect candidate for being the very first promo building. 

    You will be able to unlock this new promo by completing the upcoming achievement Urban Planner.

    -- Please note: this achievement is not yet live! --
    Urban Planner
    Win the 2-player scenario The Sunbridge and the 1-player scenarios Mo and Ocean on expert difficulty, with all players in your team playing only building and spell cards
    -- Please note: this achievement is not yet live! --
    As with Mana Wing Promo, the promo will not drop from boosters, but will be tradeable. If you don't want to do the challenge yourself, you can buy the card on the market, or trade it with other players. 
     
    • Advanced Filtering

    We greatly expanded the search function in both the inventory and marketplace during the time of our first anniversary, which was probably overlooked by a lot of players in the new-patch-hype. Our developer Kubik wrote an in depth document about the way the new (and old) function worked, with handy shortcuts to find just the cards you need. 
    But even the players who were aware of the new tools at their disposal, had a hard time remembering the search commands. Our UI designer Ult and Skylord of Honour Kapo worked together to provide a handy new ingame tooltip that should make searching for cards a lot easier for everyone. 
     

     
    • Future Development Focus

    We spend the last two years on improving and balancing many, many cards. We currently feel the balance of the game, while not perfect, is in the best place it has ever been. The campaign and rPvE are playable with every faction right now, and while PvE changes will continue, we intend a major pivot next patch cycle to map/game content with many of our balance developers and team members. 
    This means we will put more focus on providing more map-based content, like our alternative Halloween map Spooky Encounters, the upcoming Nature rPvE faction, Defensive rPvE, tweaks to the difficulty levels of rPvE and new campaign maps. Basically, we want to focus on creating content that will lure back old players, and invite new ones in. 
    This has proven challenging. While every player automatically has access to the map editor, map making is a long and patient process. We are very aware people are looking forward to new campaign maps, but their design is a huge undertaking, and due to the volunteer nature of the project, mapmakers don't always stick it out till the end. 
    If you want to help out in the map department, please take a look at our open positions:
    • Map Designer

    I remember when I started playing with Nukie after he asked to have his account reset to do exactly what you described. It was interesting to see him play with weird random decks no void return for a long time because he didn't pull any shrines from boosters or reforging. Considering all expert maps can be beaten with super basic cheap cards, it's not an insanely hard challenge. Tbh I think the novelty wore off very quickly for Nukie 😄

    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. 😄

    Greetings Skylords!
    A new month; a new Community Update! It's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

    • 2nd Anniversary Stream

    The second anniversary of Skylords Reborn is coming up! Two years ago, on the 18th of December 2020, the world of Nyn opened its doors again, allowing more than 100.000 Skylords to re-experience this one-of-a-kind game. Since then, we have been hard at work to bring you even more content, bugfixes, new cards and other features. Skylords Reborn is truly by the fans, for the fans, and we are glad we can celebrate this second anniversary with you. 
    On Sunday the 18th of December at 20:00 CEST*, we will be hosting an anniversary stream on our official Twitch channel. We will look back on another year of Skylords Reborn, show off what will be included in our latest patch, and answer questions from the community. 
    We hope you will be joining us! 

    *Due to the busy December month, this time slot is pending, we will share the final streaming time closer to the anniversary. 
     
    • Upcoming Content Patch

    We are also hard at work to bring you a new content patch, aimed for release in December. It will include various balance changes, new cards, new achievements and a new feature.
    Last year we focused on improving the economy and introduced Reforging; a way to make use of spare cards lying around and to adjust the prices of cards, giving even worthless cards a set minimum value and a creating a soft cap on card prices to prevent runaway inflation among the best ultra rares. We also added more achievements, increasing the number of boosters players can earn to help newer players get started on their collection.
    Achievements are a great way to naturally introduce players to more cards, but also to keep players engaged with fun challenges. However, by rewarding items that interact with the economy (boosters, cards) we see some players get frustrated with achievements that provide challenges they don't enjoy or find too hard, yet feel forced to do because of the rewards.
    So we started to work on an additional reward layer, and we are proud to reveal the new upcoming feature: Cosmetics.
    With our new patch, we are introducing a bunch of new achievements focused on providing fun new challenges for players, while not having to worry about impacting the economy with their rewards. Instead, players will be able to earn special borders, banners and titles, allowing for more expression and fancy bling! Here is a little teaser:  

    Cosmetics will be part of our upcoming patch, and we will share more about it and their connected achievements in the anniversary stream. 


    • New Card Reveal: Sanctuary

    In our Nature Deep Dive back in April, we already mentioned Sanctuary, a card that has been in development ever since. Sanctuary is a new tool for Pure Nature players that provides an effect similar to Mark of the Keeper to a select number of units. 
    Please note: We are still testing the card. While we are generally happy with it, numbers and effects might still change before release. 

    Sanctuary is a new tier 4 spell for pure Nature decks, requiring four Nature orbs. The card will be Rare, and will come in two affinities. The effect of the non-upgraded version is as follows:
     
    Blessed Spellbane
    Up to 4 friendly units in a 25m radius will be wrapped in a countermagical aura. Affected units are surrounded by a spellblocking zone of 20m where enemies can neither use ranged attacks nor special abilities. Hostile players cannot play out cards within that zone. Additionally, affected units take 25% less damage. Lasts for 20 seconds. Reusable every 40 seconds.

    Gifted Spellbane
    Up to 4 friendly units in a 25m radius will be wrapped in a countermagical aura. Affected units are surrounded by a spellblocking zone of 20m where enemies can neither use ranged attacks nor special abilities. Hostile players cannot play out cards within that zone. Additionally, the duration of the immobilizing effects of Freeze and Paralyze is reduced by 75% on all affected targets. Lasts for 20 seconds. Reusable every 40 seconds.

    Sanctuary continues our work on the Nature faction, alongside various balance changes coming to the faction in our upcoming patch. Sanctuary aims to provide Nature players with a reward for playing Pure Nature decks, instead of Enlightenment decks. It is a powerful effect that covers some weaknesses with which the faction struggles.
    Sanctuary is planned to release in our next patch. 
     
    • Art Spotlight

    Work on Sanctuary started back in July, with SpiritAlpha coming up with a few sketches to explore directions. At this point, we weren't sure what the focus point would be of the spell. During design there were versions with non-nature units like the Overlord at the center of the spell. We thought it would be fun to show these very early concepts.


    The art feedback channel was home to many a discussion during the progress, with as many as eight different takes up for discussion. We had versions with the focus on a village (1, 2), a focus on a single unit (Swamp Drake 3, Giant Wyrm 4, Abyssal Warder 6) to Twilight investation around the borders, being held back by the sanctuary (8).

    After voting, the version with two dragons in the sky (5) was used to come to the final design. A big thanks to our artists SpiritAlpha and Tweeto for working on this piece and to our Art Critiques for providing feedback. As you can see, we always put a lot of thought and effort into our artworks, we hope it shows!

  18. nukie liked a post in a topic by Majora in Can we get new achievement-locked avatars?   
    As you probably know, you can select your avatar to have the card art of every card in the game (including the new cards) already. The other artwork (for example, parts of the wallpapers) are mostly used on the small icons that go with Achievements, but are not actually profile avatars. This might be something to look into. 
    While experimenting with achievements in the last patch, we ran into issues that some people really like unique challenges, but if we lock ingame content behind them (for example, boosters), some players feel forced to do things they dont like doing just for the sake of the rewards. Rewarding non-economy rewards is indeed a solution, and something we plan to do more with in the near future.

    Other than looks the cards arent much alike 😛 I think this is what you were more hinting towards 😉 

    Magma Hurler is a much better card in my opinion even as a T3 compared to Aggressor as a T2.

  22. nukie liked a post in a topic by DemonRJ in The Promo Hunt   
    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.
  23. nukie liked a post in a topic by BoltyGER in Skylords Reborn Classic   
    I play since Stress Test and in my eyes i don't know why it is such a problem having bug fixes, balance changes and else, the game has reformed pretty good, new content is what thrived me to have more fun with this game, since if you completed everything theres not much to do then farming gold and bfp. New content with the recent card changes and the new cards itself bring in more farming and more enjoyment to work and test out new deck combinations and as we know the game is actually being worked on, instead of keeping it on one spot all the time. It may be extensions but its still a so called DLC content which gets added to the game. Custom Events or Season Events also give it a nice touch which i really liked already just like as the Special Halloween Event which was very fun to play! It was something new and challenging and i hope you guys never stop,

    Additionally i would like to know what kind of playerbase is leaving and not liking the changes are people from PVE so mad or PVP people? Since i know theres always this huge problem of nerfing/buffing cards since affects PVP and PVE matches.
