At this point, once your main planeswalker is injured and you cannot progress the story, there doesn’t seem to be any point in farming anything except the first level.
“Full release” implies a full game. This feels very unfinished at this point. Campaign is alright, but is that what they want to use to get us hooked? I’d expect a day one event even if it were minor and some sort of reward structure for pvp system.
Current plan is 1.3.0 for both those features (Leaderboard rewards and Events in general). I don’t have a release date with 1.3.0 yet. It’s in heavy development at the moment, and with the holidays around the corner, things could move.
