Fixed. Rolled out with today's patch 🙂

Nice patch as usual, thank you for all the effort you put into the game 😄
 
Also smaller tunnels would actually be kind of nice, not gonna lie 😄

@T1421 Thanks for the detailed report.
Looks like an easy fix

Name: Scrolling bug in Upgrade Tap
Desc:
When you use the search for upgrades it can happen that you are not at the top of the list but cant scroll up to see the upgrades (See pic)
Reproduc:
In my case:
1. I searched for “sky” (I have 2x Skyelf Commanders, 3x Skyelf Sage and 3x Skyfire Drage)
2. When I´m at the top of the list and add the “F” so the search is “Skyf” all is fine.
3. But when I scroll down, before entering the F, the upgrades are out side of the list and I can´t scroll upwards to see them
When scrolled up:




When scrolled down:


MFG Ultralord

NAME: see title
DESCRIPTION: When browsing through the market for all items, sorted by price, cards that have already been displayed reappear on following pages, usually on more then one following page.
REPRODUCIBILITY: Enter nothing in the search field, sort by price or buyout (this bug occurs on both). Add some items to your watch list. Look at the next page(s), the watched items reappear. Since you have watched that particular item you can be 100% sure its the exact same item, not just another instance of the same card sold.
SCREENSHOT/VIDEO: I wont add a screenshots but I quickly drew up a table in google maps to take a look if there is a pattern. I watched 7 different cards (named A-G) on page one and looked where they reappear. Since there are 25 items on one page, I can just name them position 1-25. It kinda looks like random, but on Page two 6 of the 7 cards I watched reappeared. The only card that was missing appears on the next page, so a full set of them appeared on page 2 and 3.

Since this is totally useless boring stuff, I stopped investigating at this point. I once heard or read somewhere that there is some randomization going on in the order/placement of the items, maybe there is something going wrong with that part of the market?
LOG: None needed.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This bug isnt of any real importance, but I thought I report it anyway, doing my best being a productive member of the community  😉

Honest answer: If we all would live in wonderland with endless ressources, I would say a clock would be more convienient and nicer-looking then timestamps. But I'm perfectly happy to enable timestamps and have the information in the screen, no matter where 😃

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!

This community update is a bit shorter than you have come to expect from us. Every area of development is progressing nicely, but we are currently not in a position where we can share the results just yet. Rest assured new cards are still actively in development, and so are our new game modes. Skylords Reborn is being developed alongside our jobs and studies, and real life can get in the way sometimes. We also don't make any money from the game, since all our Patreon income goes directly toward server upkeep. Some of our team members also struggled with the flood from two weeks ago. We know you are all excited for new content, and we try to provide you with a steady stream of information in these Community Updates, but some tasks might take a bit longer than expected. 

Upcoming Patch
We are still hard at work on our upcoming balance patch to the live servers. Sadly, we are running into some delays because of all the changes that accumulated on the test server and now have to move to the live server. We are now looking at an expected release of mid-august. In our next community update we should be able to provide the patch notes, but you can expect some changes to pure frost (check our deep dive if you haven't already!) and a lot of cool changes for both PvE and PvP. 


Free PvP Decks Adjustments
When Skylords Reborn released in 2020, we introduced our free PvP decks. Every week you can select up to two decks that are fully upgraded and can compete in the PvP meta. For our new players, here is a quick recap:

- Select the sword on the top right of the menu to select your 2 free PvP decks.
- Free PvP decks are fully upgraded decks, that can only be used in PvP. 
- You can select two new decks every week, if you want to switch things up.
- You can freely swap around cards in those decks with cards in your collection to customize the decks to your liking. You can do this by clicking the tab in your inventory on the top left (see the image).

The meta of Skylords Reborn has seen a lot of changes ever since release, with multiple balance patches hitting the live servers. The contents of the free PvP decks did not change with them however. We plan to change that with the next patch*, and will continue to adjust them when new patches hit the server. Below you can find a list of all the changes coming to the free PvP decks. As mentioned above, if you don't want to alter your deck, you can still use your own cards to adjust your list to your liking. Keep in mind some cards might increase in price however, since they will no longer be available in some, or all, of the free PvP decks.

Those changes to the Free PvP decks are planned alongside our new balance patch, planned for release mid-August*. This might give you a bit of a sneak peek at some cards receiving buffs this iteration. We hope you are looking forward to a fresh new meta! 
*We do want to make sure changing those decks will not break the game, so they might release a bit later.

Special Effect Editor
We have made some great progress in the project in a different area: the special effect editor. With this tool we are able to edit the special effects of BattleForge and create new ones from scratch. This is particularly useful for spells, since they are for the majority special effects. Many units also have special effects on their models though, like the flames of Batariel or the frosty cold effect emitted from Frost Mage. We can create complex new effects like Fire Sphere or meteors that leave ice shards on impact. Even though we are currently not able to add new models to the game, this is a great step in allowing us to create new visually appealing content. 
The tool is currently still work in progress. After it matures a little and we gain experience creating new special effects, we should barely be limited anymore for creating new special effects.

Community Update #5
Community Update #6
Community Update #7

Hey everyone,
Please understand this is a passion project that we all work on in our free time, for no profit, alongside our actual jobs. That means both the development, discussions and the moderation. 
I don't want to silence constructive criticism or complaints, but at this point I don't see this going anywhere productive. To conclude, we won't be removing the multi-account ban rule, but we are looking into a more rewarding system for playing past the daily. 
I'm not a moderator but since this threat is turning highly toxic, I will lock it for now until a moderator has time to look at it and decide how to go forward. Please respect each other and stick to a discussion, instead of a flame war. We are all here because we love the game. 

Since at least a month I am working on the same topic. Not an improvement but rather new functionality. Sorry for not being specific but once we get closer to finalizing it you can read about it in our community update. Hope people will like it.

Also I am glad to hear to you enjoy those improvements/changes 🙂

@MarcoMaar Do you happen to have any updates on anything that's currently going on in the background regarding your work? I am always really looking forward to some UI and QoL improvements on the client side of things.

Both suggestions make sense to me.
We discussed already internally that we might rework the auction house workflow at some point.
It's certainly odd that you get those via mail and there are way better ways to creating/re-auctioning/collecting/cancelling auctions.

I think adding some description or maybe even just a plain link to forum posts is certainly possible. Shouldn't be too difficult of a change if we have the content we actually want to put there.

I feel you. I recently also have less time for playing PvP and I am out of shape. I volunteer as cannon fodder for the tournament 😅

Meanwhile I was working on the event tab xD i should get my priorities straight or I'll get eliminated in the first 2 rounds AGAIN.. 

Hello fellow Skyladies and Skylords!

Format?
The tournament will be played as a 1on1 best of 3 double elimination tournament, grand finals will be best of 5, no reset. The grand finalist coming from the winnerbracket will start with  a win (1-0) already.
 
Prize Pool! (subject to change)
1st place  - 4 Booster packs
2nd place - 3 Booster packs
3rd place - 2 Booster pack
4th - 8th place  - 1 Booster pack
+200 BFP for every participant
+ a Juggernaut for ranks 1-8
Big thanks to the devs who sponsor the booster packs!
 
 
When?
On 11.07.21  starting on 3pm CET (Berlin time), the stream will start about 30 minutes in advance.

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.

Rules! (read this)
-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 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 this bo3) also has to lock in his deck first.
-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.
 
 
Reply in this thread if you have questions, I will check it out later.
 
 
Best regards,

Alright! I used the board search and haven't found that thread. Should have looked through the suggestions section, where it's still on the first page...

Hey, this idea was already brought up before.

You can check the thread and comment there to give it more visibility. 

 

This sounds great, for every new player that will encounter this and make it easy for them to progress through their achievements.
Glad i could suggest smth useful

Hey,

Thanks for the suggestions.
Especially spare card filter is something I would also like to see myself.
