Developer Update: Legendary Rank Season Prizes, Balance Update, Friendly Matches | Forums

[ThatDarnSteve]

Hey everyone, Steve from RedLynx here! I’m back with another Developer Update that should shed a bit of light on the forward progress we’re making with South Park: Phone Destroyer, and the rewards for the upcoming Legendary Reset.

At the moment, we’re currently working on a Big Feature Update for South Park: Phone Destroyer that should release in the near future. I said a little bit about it in the last Dev Update, but I wanted to explain more where I can. We’re also working on a minor update in the interim, a balance update, and the Legendary Rank Reset.
Our Big Feature Update won’t be our very next App Store/Google Play update. Our very next update will be more technical in nature (bug fixes, and other modifications). Those will have their own update notes, but it’s mostly being done for technical reasons, so it won’t have much for you to read.

The Big Feature Update is still a little ways off yet, and I don’t have a precise date, but it’s going to be sweeeet. “Why the wait for the Big Feature Update, my dearest friendo Steve?”, you inquire. “Good question!” I respond, pointing to this awesome quote below ☟:

“The upcoming Big Feature Update is stacked with stuff. BIG stuff. Like Friendly Battles. Yeah, you heard right. Friendly Battles. And that’s just the beginning… So naturally, this will take a bit to develop and test thoroughly.”

So there you have it. There’s big stuff coming! I won’t be going into the details on Friendly Battles yet, but they truly are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Big Feature Update, and they’re going to be pretty damn cool. There’s tons more to that update that I’m sure you’ll love, but you’ll have to wait for more info, as we’re preparing something with a bit more style to give you all the juicy details!

So the next few weeks will look a bit like this:

Legendary Rank Rewards > Legendary Rank Reset > Balance Update > Interim Update > Big Feature Update

That brings me to our next item of business…

🎁 Legendary Rank Rewards

I’ve seen a lot of speculation about what the Legendary Rank Rewards will be, and I’m happy to say I can now confirm the prize tiers! We had a loooong season this time around, and in the future we are aiming for them to be much shorter. Due to the long season, the rewards will be a bit more substantial than what you might see in future seasons, but those will be sure to be awesome as well.

First and foremost, the #1 player in the world will have their New Kid honored on the official South Park: Phone Destroyer Facebook, Twitter, and Official Forums! If they’re a member of the community, we’ll also reach out and potentially offer some other cool benefits. The other prizes can be found in the table below.

🏆 World Rank	🎁 Prizes
#1-10	200 cards, including: 20 Epics, and 3 Legendaries 250 Upgrade items 10,000 PvP tickets
#11-50	150 cards, including: 15 Epics, and 2 Legendaries 175 Upgrade Items 7,000 PvP Tickets
#51-250	125 cards, including: 12 Epics, and 1 Legendary 150 Upgrade Items 5,000 PvP Tickets
#251-500	100 cards, including: At least 10 Epics, and a strong chance for a Legendary 130 Upgrade Items 4,000 PvP Tickets
#501-1,000	85 cards, including: At least 8 Epics, and a 50/50 chance for a Legendary 115 Upgrade Items 3,000 PvP Tickets
#1,001+	70 cards, including: at least 5 Epics, and a fair chance for a Legendary 100 Upgrade Items 2,500 PvP Tickets

Hopefully you’ll dig these prizes! They’ll be handed out in the week leading up to the Legendary Rank Reset February 1st!

⚖️ The Absolutely Epic, Totally Legendary Balance Update

Some players mentioned that Epics and Legendaries didn’t always feel Epic or Legendary, and that they were being outshined in competitive play by Common cards due to the way they scale. We heard this feedback, and decided to make some changes. We’ve always wanted Epics and Legendaries to FEEL every bit as Epic and Legendary as their names suggest, so we’ll be making some balance adjustments (with a particular focus on buffing) that will make it so.

That Balance Update will have its own notes, of course, but I wanted to let you all know that it’s coming down the pipe shortly after our Legendary Rank Reset, so get ready for a general boost to your Epics and Legendaries!

---

During this period, we’ll also continue to have events, and make improvements where we can. Another reminder: there will be a scheduled maintenance on Monday, the 22nd of January that will result in an outage of about 8 hours, starting at 0700 Helsinki time/0500 UTC. This will affect ALL Ubisoft services, so just be aware that you won’t be able to play your favorite game (obviously Phone Destroyer ) at that time!

The whole team here at RedLynx is excited for the rank reset and what the next couple of weeks will bring to Phone Destroyer, and I think you’re going to enjoy it as well. 😻 Until next time, I’ll see you on streets of South Park!

Love,
Steve 🚀

In previous announcement you said that players will get their rank rewards and every rank rewards below. Does that really mean that 1-10 rank will get 730 cards alltogether and so on?

[xelendar]

Will you grant smaller prizes for the rest of the players at lower ranks?

[Chasedanger74]

Ok so no mention here of moving things server side to eliminate the rampant hacking of the energy bar? You're going to make gameplay more imbalanced by making legendaries even stronger whilst people can play with this energy bar toggle they use. Fix that first and foremost. You mentioned something last update then nothing now mentioned.

[rarestep]

its not only the hackers with energy bar but also internet conection sometimes other players charge energy faster then you .... and you can spot it at fights of assasins if one of them kill all others one by one instead draw with some assasin i think....

[HarveyKwan]

Steve can you update us on the PVP server side move what are you guys doing how far you guys have gotten with it. How much longer it might take.

Or maybe Buck our liaison can respond to us.

You love us right?

Cheating should be a priority not prize packs. All the cheaters continue to be rewarded. Every day they continue to pollute the game they gain advanatges over the rest of us. It’s not a coincidence that the cheaters have the best cards in the game. it’s it’s not from micro transactions. It’s from effortlessly winning packs and lockers. Your honest and paying customers and loosing patients and walking away. Shenanigans! Shenanigans!

[TachiKHT]

lol it will be sad if you guys are going to reward hackers.
Also mecha timmy does not deserve the changes. Instead you should probably fix the glitch where he can be stuck in place and abuse his mind control range.

His current ability is complete RNG and does 200+ damage. This kills the majority of characters and is at the fate of RNG. Could his ability be toned down to the 100s region and hit the closest enemy? His ability can change the outcome of any fight if it hits the right enemy, since it'll be able to kill most of his targets.

[Zel4sh]

Yeh, and make Alien clyde hit his own NK and Dwarf king clyde charge himself to balance other Clydes out.
Like really, 100 dmg as an epic? So if you level him up, you can kill MAYBE assassins?
I would say - buff the other Clydes, change their rarities, or make HHC common and then we can balance him in the long run.
