  1. Awesome idea! All aboard the hypetrain, let's get that community price!
  2. Just a quick reminder: The event is only running until friday this week, so only a few more days to get in runs. So, if you haven't already, find a team, finish of some amazing runs and send them in! I am happy for every submission I receive 🙂
  3. This is why there is currently an open staff position as "Marketerr / Outreach coordinator": All of those things would be great, but it is a lot of work that someone has to do 🙂
  4. I also hit that limit in the past. If I remember correctly there was once the idea somewhere here in the forums to offer an increase in the max number of decks for Gold/BFP to use it as a currency sink, since mostly experienced players wilk run into the cap.
  5. Some of these points are already being worked on and you can expect something to come your way soon 🙂
  6. For your information: I receive many questions about the rulings and thus update the FAQ regularly. This can even happen multiple times a day, so I won't write a post to this tjread everytime I do. Whenever you have the feeling, that one of the clarifications might be more confusing than it helps or contradicts previous rulings, please contact me so we can talk about it. I try to check the forums and discord regularly to get troubles out of the way as soon as possible to allow for a smooth event.
  7. Great update, I am very excited for the new content and the anniversary! I do not have a definitive name suggestion for the new card yet, but I would rather name it "minefield" instead of "bandit minefield". The word bandit seems a bit redundant in this context. Other cards such as Sandstorm also do not have bandit in their name, so it would be fitting. But there are probably other people out there, who will have some great name suggestions 🙂
  8. I would like to inform you, that the extra bounty for completing the "Christmas Peace" objective has been claimed! You can no longer get the reward for being the first to pull it of, but you can still get the points for your run 🙂
  9. As Wanky already said, you can only play GoL on adv and exp anyways Looking forward to your run 🙂 I wasn't entirely sure, if they can actually die, but if they can't, you are safe anyways 🙂
  10. Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings. Welcome to the fourth official PvE event! We hope you will have a lot of fun with this event! What kind of event will it be? PvE - Advanced - Guns of Lyr with a point system For this challenge, we want to see you succeed in playing the map Guns of Lyr, while accomplishing several winter and christmas themed objectives. The more objectives you accomplish, the more points you get. The team with the highest number of points wins the contest! But there is more! You also get points for speed! The faster you finish the map, the more extra points you get. Thus, you will need to find the right balance between objectives and time and choose your strategy accordingly. So gather a team, polish your strategy and go for the Highscore! When will it start? We will be accepting entries starting today. The event will run for a bit more than 2 weeks, to be specific: 17.12.2021 23:59 CET. You can send your replays through DM to me on Discord (Metagross31#1103) or through a PM to me on the forum. We will announce the winners on stream on the 2nd of January, 6pm CET. How can I participate? Everyone with an ingame account can participate in the event - there is no need to sign up separately. You just have to send in your best replay, including the player names, the time of the replay and what objectives you accomplished. [Note: Your entry has to be a victory] For example: If your team reached a time of 17:23.6, name your replay the following way: "Hiko_Majora_Zyna_Metagross31_17:23.6.pmv" Additionally, send me a list of all objectives. For example: Low points: A, C, D; Total: 900 Mid points: K, L; Total: 1200 High points: all; Total: 4000 Penalty points: S; Total: -1200 Total points: 4900 You can send in your replays until the 17.12.2021. Please note: You are allowed to compete with multiple teams, but only your highest score will determine the rewards you win, meaning you can only get rewards for one submission. You are allowed to compete with a team of less than 4 people or even alone. You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays What are the objectives? This event will have a point system: points will be rewarded by completing the following objectives. The goal is to get as many points as possible! You don't have to complete them all, but of course you should aim for as many points as you can in a single run. It is important however, that your final score from objectives is greater than zero. Runs with a negative score do not qualify. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Low points: A: HoHoHo!: 200p Have one player play out Santa Claus* B: You are not alone: 200p Have one player build a Stronghold next to Rogan's Castle* C : We are many!: 300p Have all players from your team build a Stronghold next to Rogan's Castle* D : Santa's little helper: 400p Have Rogan Kayle (Player's card) within a 25m radius of Santa all the time* E: The Ghost of Christmas Past: 400p As a team, play at least five different frost cards from the twilight edition* F: The Ghost of Christmas Present: 400p Play at least one frost card, that has been buffed by the Skylords Reborn team (See below for a list of cards)* G: The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come: 400p Play at least one frost card, that has proposed buffs for the future (See below for a list of cards)* H: Presents for the Kobolds: 400p Use one of Santa's gifts next to one of the Kobold Engineers* I: Presents for the King: 400p Use one of Santa's gifts next to Rogan's castle --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maximum low points: 3100 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medium points: J: Boxing day: 400p Open all gold chests K: Presents for your neighbors: 600p Use one of Santa's gifts next to one of the big twilight manifestations, before they get destroyed* L: Sitting at the fireplace: 600p Have a unit sit in front of the top fire trap for 3 minutes without dying or walking away* M: Coming down the chimney: 600p Completely destroy all four enemy walls N: First the dinner, then the presents: 600p Destroy all minor twilight infestation camps before destroying the final manifestations* O: A time for modesty: 800p As a team, do not control more than 10 orbs at the same time* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maximum medium points: 3600 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- High points: P: The real deal: 1000p Play the map on Expert difficulty instead of advanced Q: Frosty times: 250p per player, maximum of 1000p Play a pure frost deck* R : Christmas Peace: 1500p (2000p if combined with objective P) Do not kill any enemy units until the final wave spawns* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maximum high points: 4000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maximum Total points: 10700 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Penalty points: S: That's not a Christmas tree!: -1200p Using Amii Monument T: Taking your siblings' presents: -1500p Using Decomposer U: Got the wrong present: -1000p Destroying your starting orb* V: Broken Chimney: -1000p One of the Kobold Engineers dies* W: Blocking the way for Santa: -1500p Construct buildings past the flames near the map border in the top left or bottom right corner* X: Christmas is over: -1500p Santa dies Y: Wrong season, wrong event: -1000p Play out easter Egg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total penalty points: -8700 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Check the FAQ for clarifications. Time Score: There will also be points awarded for time. The faster you finish the map, the more points you will get with a maximum of 1500p. There are no preset timewindows that determine your time score, instead your time is compared to all entries. This means that every second counts when it comes to your time score! However, you can not lose any points by having a slow time. So it is up to you to decide whether you want to go for as many objectives as possible or if you want to leave some out in the hope of getting a better time. You do not have to calculate the time score yourself, we will calculate the time score for every entry. For a detailed explanation on how the time score is calculated, see the FAQ below. FAQ In order to reduce confusion about the objectives, we have precompiled a list of questions you might have and answered them beforehand. If you have any questions about one of the objectives, please check this FAQ first. If your question is not yet answered in the FAQ, feel free to ask the question in this thread. That way it can be clarified and added to the FAQ. List of previously buffed frost cards: List of frost cards with proposed buffs: Questions about specific objectives: Calculation of the time score: Sounds fun! What's the prize pool? The following prize pool will be adjusted according to the amount of participants. If more than 20 teams submit a run, you can still expect the top 50% of runs to win something. The prices are per person. If you compete with multiple teams, only your highest place will be rewarded : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st place 7 Frost and 5 general Booster packs 2nd place 6 Frost and 3 general Booster packs 3rd place 5 Frost and 2 general Booster packs 4th-8th place 2 Frost and 2 general Booster packs 9th-10th place 1 Frost and 1 general Booster pack -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One more extra bounty... - CLAIMED There is one more extra bounty to claim! The first team, which sends me a replay in which they complete the objective R: Christmas Peace on any difficulty will get an additional reward of 3 general boosters. Note, that the replay, you submit for the extra bounty does not have to be counted for the actual run, you can still submit a different replay with a different time and score as your final submission. The extra bounty has already been claimed! You can no longer get the reward for being the first to pull it of, but you can still get the points for your run In conclusion This event focuses on your speed, teamwork and flexibility on these different PvE maps. To summarize the event in simple steps: Look for a team. You can either do this below this topic, on Discord or Ingame. Come up with a strategy for your run. Try to complete the objectives while being as fast as possible. Make sure your score is greater than zero. Calculate your score and determine your final time. Satisfied? Send the replay to me! (Metagross31#1103 on Discord) or PM your best replay to me (in the forum). When will we stream? We will announce the winners on stream.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Best regards, Skylords Reborn Team
  11. There are actually some balancing considerations, especially towards 2v2. Examples for this are the changes of Dryad (b) and Shrine of Greed, which made for some super strong combos, which could even win you the game quite easily at T1, if your opponents did not play accordingly (Dryad + Nox for example). I personally think that balancing in 2v2/3v3 is somewhat important, as in nerfing overpowered and meta-defining strats, such as the ones mentioned, but some things, such as popping an enlightenment->Moloch combo can remain in the game, as long as there is counterplay against the setup, if you play well enough. As you mentioned, this makes for games, which are "broken but in a fun way", which I personally like.
  12. Very interesting 😮 I guess this will not happen in real games due to the global cooldown, but a 🐛 is a 🐛.
  13. It kind of bothers me, that the mailbox ingame has such a limited capacity. You can't even put up the maximum amount of acutions at once and have them all run out without the inbox overflowing, making it impossible for ther players to send you any mail. Thus, I would like to suggest an increase in mailbox size to at least be as big as the maximum amount of auctions plus a bit extra, so you face the situation, where you can't receive any new mail very rarely.
  14. I like the idea of a random "map of the day" thing. Maybe it could be made, so that reserve drains faster or you get more gold from that map.
  15. Depends, maybe you just have 500 sylvan gates/northstars now 😄
  16. This can actually be used to your advantage in rPvE to trap lost dancers/priests and the likes.
  17. I like the idea 😄 But I would either not give a guaranteed promo or make it a much higher count. Maybe something like 3 boosters, so you can get 24 other non-promo cards? 😄
  18. Omg, I am super hyped for the new Bandit card, it looks amazing!! Just a little question about the red affinity: It currently says "adds x% bonus siege damage to allied units...". Does that mean, that only siege units are buffed, or do all units get a siege bonus from the ability, no matter if they have it normally or not?
  19. When I first started, two friends of mine brought me to BF. They told me about all the factions and I was like "holy crap, fire sounds so cool", so for me the thematic fire cards do it. Especially Fire Worm. The reason is, that one of my friends gave me some starting cards (they bought some BFP, while I did not), including a wildfire. I sold that wildfire and bought some other cards from it, sold them again and so on until I was able to buy a Fire Worm, which I remember as the strongest card in my deck back then. Another one is the Promo Jugger, since it has always been - and still is - like that holy grail, super rare, super strong, super cool looking card, which I already knew, that I would never be able to get my hands on. Additionally some of the power houses my friends played are also super nostalgic to me - especially Avatar of Frost, Deepcoil Worm and Wheel of Gifts.
