Hi Everyone,

Here are some of the recent updates added to the 2.5 hot-fix patch:

Bug Fixes
  • Tishana, Voice of Thunder now correctly gets buffed, based on each reinforcement
  • Jugan, the Rising Star now correctly converts gems, even if there are no creatures on the battlefield
  • Path of Mettle now correctly deals damage to non-Human creatures
  • Various localization corrections
Changes
  • Lowered Jace, Cunning Castaway's price in Vault to 295
  • Some adjustments were made to the Battle of Four Tribes event:
    • The Immortal Sun will now be awarded to the top 250 coalitions
    • Max Nodes are now set at 5, therefore players now have 24 hrs to complete the first two charges of each node.
    • The Immortal Sun is also awarded at max progression for players in each tier.
    • Progression threshold lowered to 750.
    • All packs given from progression rewards are now RIX packs.
    • Increased Mana Jewel gain by 5 in the regular progression for all tiers on lower ranks
    • Increased Mana Jewel gain by 15 in Coalition progression for all tiers on lower ranks

    I love that they finally fixed Tishana and Path of Mettle. Now if they can just fix Elenda, the Dusk Rose, they will have completed my Support ticket that has been open since RIX dropped...

    @Brigby just to clarify, if you get maxed ribbon progression AND if you get in the top 250 coalitions in ranking, you get two Immortal Sun's?

    If so, that is an exciting reward structure! Casual people not in coalitions get access to it, people in casual coalitions have access to it, and if you already have it, its a decent amount of crafting orbs! This is wonderful!!!

    So when is the next time BoFT will be ran?

    Good to hear the complaints about the Immortal Sun have been heard and now it's more accessible of a card. I salute the decision and am delighted that more players will get access to it. The event needed a patch. Well done Oktagon, nice to hear you're listening and  learning.  ;)

    @GrizzoMtGPQ   Wait...is that... a.... Smile??? you do know you have a reputation to uphold! :o

    hee hee, just ribbin' ya buddy.


    This is an awesome fix. I can play with my Tishana finally and the reward system in place is great, rewards all those super active in competition twice and the more relaxed or those unable to compete at the NFL level will still be rewarded for their efforts. This is a surprise and a happy result. Thank you Oktagon and @Brigby.

    Yeah baby! Thanks for listening. 

    Btw, how about making it so that we can reorder the creatures on the battlefield ?

    Hmm.. That's interesting. Handing out such a card for the top ten only, but only for a limited time before it's available for everyone sounds reasonable and fair - it gives a motivation for competitive players, but those who are unlucky don't get a big disadvantage. I really hope this is the way they'll treat exclusives in the future!

    These are some great fixes, and I'm really looking forward to using Path of Mettle if it indeed does work properly, especially in white decks!

    On a related note, as an iOS player, I'm still having an issue where I have to force quit and reload the game sometimes up to 3-4 times before I can start playing. I saw this noted before, but haven't seen a fix addressed for it yet....

    I think people who are not in coalitions wont be able to participate in coalition events. So they still wont have access to it.

    What about the other effects that don't work properly?  The other dragons?  Savage Stomp?  Emperor's Vanguard?
    Does Dowsing Dagger (and the other buggy converters) convert gems properly now?

    Still, this is a good start.
