The 1.6.5 update should be in the iOS App Store for everyone now (I just downloaded and installed it myself). Thank you once again for your patience. We apologize for the longer-than-expected downtime and we hope you enjoy the update!

Hi all. Another quick update. The game is currently live on Android devices. The team are working on getting the iOS build out to players ASAP. We'll provide an additional update as soon as we have it. Thank you for hanging in there with us.

    Cmon not even a patch notes?

    Many cards are broken right now to the point that some are literally unplayable.

    Knowing which ones have been fixed is crucial.

    Hey JC, to give us something to get us excited, could you release some notes about what the patch will be doing?? Or give us some reason that patch notes were not released at this time???

    At least there is no event today and I wasn't planning on playing anyway, it's just funny.
    Next time they will say 8 hours and it will take 12.

    Is this delay *really* about server maintenance? I only ask because the app update isn't available in the iOS App Store yet, and they're notoriously slow to approve updates, sometimes taking days.

    Just a suggestion: maybe it would be a good idea to release app updates that are backward compatible and do it a couple days before the server downtime, rather than add wait time to the users because of the sloth lawyers at Apple.

    It's surprising to me to hear that the issue has ever swung the other way. I suppose things have changed since my days in mobile app development, but it used to be that developers could pretty much just upload their own binaries straight to the android market, while iOS apps had to literally submit their source code to Apple for audit.

    Thanks for working hard on this game with continuous updates and new content this is the only game I play on my phone. I think you have flawlessly translated this game from card version to PQ version. Good job keep up the hard work. I figured you guys could use some encouragement for once. GO DEVS GO!

    Would have been nice to know i had to manually update the game. Instead of opening it and it showing maintainence was still going on. With the message "back up soon"...
