My usual nickname (Void) was already taken.. had no idea for a new one. Looked around the screen, saw the Skylo in Skylords and took it.
Haha nice, it has a nice ring to it!
Mine should be obvious for Zelda fans. Im realy curious if Nintendo will ever show is the actual character Majora (the weird dragon from the Manga doesnt count!) but the fact we only know of Majora's Mask and not the actual character kind of has its appeal to. Anyway, I picked the name because it sounds cool, and its easier to announce. Normally I go for MidnaMistfire, but people always have issues with pronouncing it (but hey, Toggy got it right almost right away!) 😄 -

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!
New Logo
Already teased in the updated Discord icons and Facebook profile, we also have a new logo! We are very happy with our fresh new look, which inspired us to also take another look at our landing page. Nothing to share yet there, but we are currently in the first stages of a redesign, and hope to share more with you in the future.
We'd also like to take this time to let you know we are going to post these Community Updates on our Reddit as well. Please make sure to follow us there if that is your preferred platform to stay up to date on Skylords Reborn.
New cards are now in developmentAs mentioned in the last Community Update, the exciting moment has come to design brand new cards for the game. We will release these new cards in batches, instead of a full expansion. Our plan for the first batch is to create new cards for 3 different factions, with up to 9 cards added in total. We are also planning to add affinities to some, if not all, of these cards.
The past week, patrons with the Moon tier or higher were able to vote for their favorite factions. We are excited to announce the 3 factions that will receive new cards:
- Frost
- Amii (Shadow / Nature)
- Bandits (Shadow / Fire)
Don't worry, we plan to add new cards for each faction over time, the voting only impacted the order of our release. Since this is new territory for us, we are currently not able to say when new cards will be ready, and when the vote for the next batch will be. We will be actively working on this, but we don't want to rush out new cards.
Expansion Icon
New cards need a new expansion icon! The community was able to vote for their favorite icon on our social media (Twitter, Discord, Facebook and Reddit). All icons (from left to right: Phoenix, Ouroboros, Triskelion and Lotus) were symbols of Rebirth, which we found fitting for the current stage of the project. The votes were extremely close, with our Discord community heavily leaning towards Ouroboros, while the other media were rallying behind the Phoenix icon. Here is the icon you can expect on our upcoming cards (not just the factions mentioned above):
Until further notice, all upcoming Skylords Reborn cards will have this icon. We are also looking into creating multiple versions of this expansion symbol, depending on the rarity. And of course not all cards will be ultra rare. Please note again: new cards have now started development, but we have no specific cards to share at this moment.
Thank you all for your votes and comments, and thank you Tweeto for your awesome work!
New Patch on the test server
A lot is happening on the test server as well. A large patch has hit the test server on the 9th of June.
The patch contains many balancing changes and experimental changes. Please take a look at the patch notes, test them out on the test server and take place in the discussion.Speaking of discussions, we would like your help in making a decision regarding the card Unity and if it should only effect own units or also allies.
Please check out our Unity poll here.
Upcoming Tournaments
• FINISHED Official PvE Contest#1 Siege of Hope
The first official PvE contest on Siege of Hope is now finished! We will announce the winners in a stream on the 26th of June at 19:00 CEST.
We will also do some giveaways, so even if you did not participate; we invite you all to join us!
• NEW: Host your own event / tournament
Want to host a tournament or event? Please reach out to our Event Organiser Hiko to have your events prizes sponsored by the Skylords Reborn team. If you got 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 Art for Firesworn
Besides a new Logo and Icon, our artist Tweeto has been working on adjusting the art of Firesworn. As most would agree, Firesworn always felt a bit off compared to the other fire cards. Tweeto made a few changes to make it feel more in line with the rest of your deck. We hope you like it!
Current Artwork
Adjusted Artwork
The artwork has not yet been adjusted in-game yet. We expect to add it in an upcoming content update to the live server.
There are still some cards we would like to give a slight upgrade, but we will only do so if there are no other tasks with more priority to work on. With new cards in development, new artworks for those cards currently have more priority.
New Team Members / Team ChangesOur moderation team welcomes a new (old) member! Bradley will be helping us out with moderation again.
We are also happy to announce our first official Map Designer: Hodron!
Right now he is spending a lot of time on designing the new rPvE presets mentioned in the last community update; specifically what units and or bosses you will encounter.Our developer _empty_ stepped down from his position. He worked on creating the installer used by new players to more easily be able to install and play the game. We would to again thank him for his contributions!
Additionally, we will soon be adding at least one new server developer.
We have also added a new role into our open positions; Marketeer/Outreach Coordinator. As an 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 influencers, streamers, youtubers, Discord channels, game magazines, among others.
As always; if you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help. There are still some open positions in our team.
In conclusion
Thanks for reading!Is there anything you wish us to cover in upcoming community updates? As always, we are open to feedback so please let us know!

What about Forgebattle?
Haha touché! By now Google understands Skylords Reborn = Battleforge, so I dont think we will change it again 🙂

Hello,
Sounds like you played during the beta. There was a reset when the game released in December, so everyone lost all their cards and progress. This was the final reset however, and the game is now fully released (and still being developped to add new stuff too, check the community updates 🙂 ) -
The name Battleforge is owned by EA, and the condition was to change it for the project to go forward.
Since we dont own the property, we also cannot release "Battleforge 2"

Unpopular opinion: Fix the existing factions first instead of working on making Fire-Frost cards a thing (or introducing dozens of new cards). No need for more splash cards as long as stonekin are ingame unchanged and bandits suffer from being among the worst pvp decks out there...
We are, and will still be, working on the current factions and cards. We feel, especially given the many requests for new cards, that we are now in a spot where we can, and should, do both.

Will all cards have their unique edition symbol?
I guess you can't add new one to the game.I think it is currently not possible to add a new one, so we will probably just use the latest one (which was a small edition anyway). But maybe during the process we will figure out a way to add a new symbol

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!
Some exciting news to start off this community update:
New cards development: starting soon
We have reached a great milestone: we are ready to create some new cards! We will release these new cards in batches, instead of a full expansion. Our plan for the first batch is to create new cards for 3 different factions, with up to 9 cards added in total. We are also planning to add affinities to some, if not all, of these cards.
As a thank you to our (Moon and higher) patrons, they will have a chance to vote on the 3 factions which we will create cards for. The two most picked factions will receive new cards. The Skylords Reborn team will then pick the last faction to create new cards for, resulting in a total of up to 9 brand new cards (excluding affinities) for the game!
Don't worry, we plan to add new cards to each faction over time, the current voting only impacts the order of our release.
A few things to note:
• The poll will be open for one week, until the 11th of June.
• Voting happens on Patreon. Moon tier and higher Patrons will be able to vote.
• The factions to vote for are: Fire • Frost • Shadow • Nature • Bandits • Stonekin • Lost Souls • Twilight • Amii (Nature/Shadow).
• We are currently not able to add Fire/Frost cards.
• We have not commited to a 3-3-3 split, some factions might get more or less cards, depending on their needs or design space.
• People vote for the faction, not the actual cards. Our balance and development teams will look at what cards to add, and what role they will play.
• Since this is new territory for us, we are currently not able to say when new cards will be ready, and when the vote for the next batch will be. We will be actively working on this, but we don't want to rush out new cards.
Changes to Patreon benefits
From now on, being subscribed on Patreon with at least the Moon tier will give you a vote for the next poll. Once a new poll is here and you unsubscribed in between, we will reach out to you to ask for your vote. After a poll is done, you will only be allowed to vote in the next poll if you subscribe for at least one month again.We hope this new flexibility will make it easier to support the project in a way you feel comfortable with.
Fire/Frost cards
Let's talk about the elephant in the room: Fire/Frost cards. As most of you are aware, EA never released a single Fire/Frost card before the servers got shut down. Because of this, there is no cardframe for a Fire/Frost card in the game, and because of the way the game is written, it's currently not possible to add new cards for this faction.We are however hard at work to make this possible in the future.
More factions for rPvE (on the test server)
We rolled out a change on the test server which unlocks more factions in rPvE. For example, its now possible to play against Lost Souls in 1 player rPvE. You can read the patch notes that includes this change and how to join the test server here. This is currently still being tested, so please let us know on our rPvE Discord server if you run into anything weird.Prior to this change you could only receive:
• Luminousland, Jungleland, Winterland and Lavaland in 4 player rPvE
• Bushland, Ghostland and Twilightland in 2 player rPvE
• Greenland, Frostland and Cactusland in 1 player rPvEWe also have plans to add Shadow, Nature, Fire and Frost as enemies in the future, resulting in four more factions you might fight your way through rPvE. It's already possible to test these out in the community map section on both the test and live server.
We hope you will enjoy this new content on the test server and we hope to bring it to the live servers soon.
New PvE Taskforce
In the last community update we shared our design philosophy. In an effort to gather good PvE feedback for the future, we are happy to announce our newly constituted PvE Taskforce! For now, we have decided to include 5 initial members:
1. Lebovim – Mapmaker, Skylord of Honor, Master of the Skylords Reborn wiki, and one of the game’s top speedrunners.
2. Keksmonsta – Top PvE player with a wide and deep knowledge of the game who has shown his ability to constructively represent the interests of the competitive PvE and speedrunner communities.
3. Volin – Very active and helpful top RPvE player. Volin’s knowledge of PvE and RPvE will help us to have the knowledge to make informed design decisions.
4. Chibiterasu – Our own beloved balancing developer, Chibi has already been partially playing this role in the background, we now want to formalize and expand it.
5. Bini Inibitor – Bini has previously proven himself full of good suggestions, the initial idea to allow heal/rejuvenation stacking should be credited to him, the further development of the idea to Chibi.As you might have noticed, we tried to include representatives of the different segments of the Skylords community, from average players up to the game’s top speedrunners. In the future, we would like to rotate in guest members as well.
Additionally, in the near future we will be releasing a document detailing our new balancing process. While we are happy with the progress we have made recently, we also think that a more defined process with set deadlines will help us to increase our pace of development, especially as we begin adding new cards to the game. This will also come with larger changes to the balancing discord.
Upcoming Tournaments
As we mentioned in our first community update, you can also check out the new tournaments and events happening in-game. Just click the scroll on the menu and check out the event tab for the upcoming events you can participate in.• Official PvE Contest#1 Siege of Hope
Our first official PvE contest is running! Play Siege of Hope Expert with a twist! Our Event Organizer has created a point system that allows multiple strategies and hopefully rewards for thinking outside of the box. Speedrunning still gets you points, but speedrunning alone won't be enough to win this one! A promo of your choice is one of the prizes, so make sure to check it out!• Finished: Community Challenge #3: King's Ridge
The King's Ridge PvE contest has finished! Check out the winners here.New Team Members
We mentioned earlier that we are looking into making Fire/Frost cards possible. A key member in this task is Kubik, who has returned to the project as Client/Reverse Engineer Developer.We are also planning to add more server developers in the very near future to speed up progress. We are still looking for new team members however! If you want to see Skylords Reborn succeed, please take a look at how you can help.
In conclusion
We are very excited to be at a point where we can actively start working towards adding new cards into Skylords Reborn. We hope you will continue to join us on the ride!Thanks for reading! Here is a scratch code you can redeem in-game for 100bfp. The code is valid till June 19th.

If I understood the structure right, "Developers" in this project are people that really drive the project forward. This includes not just working on (a part of) Skylords but also alot of decision making. I dont think you can accomplish anything meaningful in 3 hours/week if you consider that you have to attend team meetings, coordinate with the other developers and communicate with players for their ideas and imput.
Just doing "your own thing" for 3 hours a week could accomplish something like a cool new map or some artwork if you take enough weeks. And my guess is if someone endevours on such a project they wont turn you away, but be happy to use a polished product (whatever it may be). But thats not a developer role inside a project.
Pretty much this. Its not that we are on some high horse deeming 3 hours a week not worthy of our team. Its just like Kapo said, to accomplish anything meanginfull in our teamstructure, and as a developper specificly, would require more than 3 hours to be able to have time for actual development work on top of meetings and coordinating with the other teammembers.
Every member on the team is unpaid. We are also not allowed to make a profit (since EA owns the property) or use patreon to pay teammembers.
It also makes little sense for us to pay other people to help us, since that basicly means we have a job that costs us money (on top of a lot of time).So how can we expect people to work for the project? The same way we do. We all have a passion for the project and want to see it succeed. And as Ladadoos mentioned above, we do understand life comes first, and finding a good balance requires the willingness to work together and a certain time availability. On some roles this wont be as much, but as mentioned before, the developers are a very crucial role in the project that require more time to be effective.
We are not some evil company trying to trick people into working for free. We are a community project that is literally not allowed to pay people or make a profit ourselves. Yet we all pour our heart, soul and time into the project anyway.

@Majora Bring your pure Shadow.
Where were you? :O
I went 0-2, 0-2, so not much you missed, but still

This should be possible, and I agree its a great QoL suggestion. Ill forward it to the devs.

I always thought it was weird that the legendary creatures are neutral cards. Moon is clearly shadow, Viridya is clearly nature, Rogan is pretty much frost, Brannoc is clearly fire, etc. Seeing this guy as neutral instead of fire (or fire shadow I suppose!) again gives me that feeling ''why did the original devs go with the neutral cards for those legendary creatures?''
Not saying we are going to (or should) change that, but it always confused me from a flavor perspective. -
Let me check with the devs if this would be easy to implement
Edit: So its not possible to show live progress because we only update quest progression at the end of the match. It would probably be possible to show the quest you currently have however. We would first need to check if there would be any weird bugs if quests are rerolled and stuff like that however.
Would this feature still be of help to you, or was it mostly about the progression bar (which isnt possible)?

Glad to see more people are signing up in advance. Last time we went from 5 to 16 players in the last hour or so, which is not ideal. If you want to have a fun day playing some PvP, just sign up

So I guess Amii was some now extinct race of beings that were able to weave all kinds of magic. The remnants of their existence are all the walls, monuments, wells etc.
Basically, previously they were like master of all sorts of magic and rituals. Frost, as the most enduring faction, has uncovered/preserved one such ritual because it fit their way of thinking and identity very well. Eventually the Amii were wiped out. Now, with the bodies shaped for themselves, they are kind of alive (nature) but also kind of dead (shadow). They probably still have their unique relationship to magic and power but in the end they are just vessels now.
Arent all the units you spawn in Battleforge things that the people imagine/believe in? So in that sense, do they really need to be alive if the people know the stories?

One question I have regarding the document is if it is settled that Amii will be purely Shadow/Nature. Since there are cards that contradict this atm (Amii-Monument and Amii-Ritual) and their lore contradicts that a little aswell (since they are elemental spirits and the orbs are them or corpses of them). However for the lore part you could argue that you are summoning things through the forge and use the fitting elements for their attributes and not what they are. The life giving/constructing nature (Monuments and Wells are Amii design) and the afterlife nature (Them having a big effect even in death, through the monuments) just fit to nature shadow.
I see the reasons for sticking to Shadow/Nature since that is one big hole that needs to be filled and amii are a low hanging fruit for that, but I am curious as to what will happen to the two other amii cards that currently exist, especially to amii ritual since monument needs a big rework anyways.Nothing official to share on that yet (cause we have not made a decision regarding this) but since people are already calling Nature/Shadow Amii, and the spotlight unit is also Amii, I think it would make sense to move forward with them for the Shadow Nature faction. But thats just me, and im not in charge of that

The Balance Philosophy document was a really interesting read, but I felt like an important piece is missing: in your opinion, how does each faction look like ideally? You briefly mention how "the game helps us by providing clear archetypes via the four elements", so I was really expecting you to follow that up by describing how you see those four elements and how a mix of them is supposed to look like. You later briefly touch on this when discussing the design goal of "Thematic Correctness" by giving the examples of Stonekin and Lost Souls, but I really feel like it would be interesting if you expanded on that.
Hey there, thank you for taking the time to write an in-depth reply.
First let me make one thing clear since I see you asking for my personal opinion: this is not a document written by me, but a document from the whole Skylords Reborn team. This document has been carefully crafted over weeks and proofread by all teammembers that are in one way or another responsible for the game. We have decided to release the document as a team, to not give the wrong idea that one sole member is responsible for the direction we are taking.As for your question regarding how we feel each faction should look like ideally: a very good question and one we will answer in the future! You can expect 9 more documents in the future that dive deeper into the different factions in the game. So fear not, we will definitely expand on this on a faction-by-faction level in the future! For now we have decided to share a general overview of our philosophy, and since that is already quite long (and will no doubt get feedback and questions from the community) we will work on the faction deep dives after.
I hope that answered your questions?
Edit: so basicly what WindHunter said
Rerolled Quests should give 75 BFP

I'm pretty sure this is done for the arguments stated in by Metagross (trying to push you to do the quest, instead of rerolling immediately). There are some games where you actually cant reroll a quest, or its a gamble if the points will go down or up (for example, Magic the Gathering does this).
I havent seen complaints about this before, but if its a big issue I can definitely check with the team.
