CHANGELOG

(11/26/19) *Updated Image Overview, Single Player, and Multiplayer.
(12/04/19) *Updated Image Overview, Single Player, Multiplayer, and Duel Decks.
(12/13/19) *Updated Image Overview, Single Player, and Multiplayer.

(12/18/19) *Added a few more events to cover hopefully everything for the rest of the year! (Cthulhu)
(12/24/19) *Updated Image Overview, Single Player, and Multiplayer.

2

*Revisit the 2019 November Sneak Peek HERE

3

No, not The Elderspark again! That event cost us two players last time. Even with the recharge time increased from 6 to 8 hours, it will still be a horrible event. Can you also change the starting charges from 2 to 1, please?

4

(12/04/19) *Updated Image Overview, Single Player, Multiplayer, and Duel Decks.

5

@Brigby no coalition event next weekend?

6

Hmm good question! I’ll ping the rest of our team to inquire about that.

7

@Brigby: FoE event ends today. According to the above schedule, it should run until and including Saturday. I still have a few nodes left to play, which I won’t be able to in the last few hours that are remaining.

8

(12/13/19) *Updated Image Overview, Single Player, and Multiplayer.

9

(12/24/19) *Updated Image Overview, Single Player, and Multiplayer.

10

Was anyone able to complete holiday Showdown? I joined at the beginning and have no losses, but with the 8 hour charge time for fight credits, I am only going to manage half of the event. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like a terrible format regardless for people that celebrate Christmas. Opinions?

11

Now, you see, what I could do is talk about how I communicated this to customer services only to be told I was wrong and didn’t know how the game worked- but I don’t think I’m allowed to discuss conversations had with them here.
