Hey everyone, Steve from RedLynx here! I'm back with another Developer Update for all of you. This week, our team has been incredibly busy. We've tried to respond as quickly as we could to several bugs, and keep you all well-informed. We have completed a hotfix for critical issues introduced by the BFU, and have entered that hotfix into validation. Unfortunately, that process can take up to 48 hours, so this hotfix should be rolling out within the next 24 hours, so long as it passes our final testing phase. We appreciate the patience all of you have shown as we fix these issues.
The issues which should be fixed with the coming hotfix are as follows:
- When some cards are played, they do not appear on the battlefield, but their energy cost is still taken from your energy reserves
- Cards are occasionally drawn into the player’s hand, even when they are already on the battlefield
- Cards skip their Warcry animation, and the effect/damage is immediately applied to an enemy unit/New Kid
- The donation leaderboard sometimes shows incorrect stats
- Negative Phones Destroyed are sometimes displayed
- If players are viewing a specific offer, and the offer available refreshes, they receive the new offer instead of the one they are viewing
- Various performance issues
In addition, as we stated earlier this week, the fix will also contain the new Report Player function. An excerpt from the Monday developer update about this feature is below!
"These fixes will also be bundled together with an all- new Report Player function, which will allow you to report a player/match if some odd behavior was noticed. Many players have requested this feature, and its completion has coincided well with the timing of this hotfix, so they will be released together. The Report Player function will be found in the “Settings” tab of the New Kid’s Phone Menu, and should help us to further root out any oddities or sources of player frustration. "
LEGENDARY SEASON ENDING
Tomorrow, the Legendary season will end, and a new #1 player will be crowned! In our previous communication, I indicated this would happen at 09:00 AM UTC, but that was unfortunately incorrect. The in-game timer displays the actual time the reset will occur. This time should be at 11:00 AM UTC. At this time, we will undergo a period of maintenance that should take approximately 30 minutes. When players return, they will find that 50% of the Legendary Rank players have had their rank reset to 50, and the remainder have had their world rank reset. All players previously in Legendary will receive a reward pack based on their previous rank. This will contain rewards as per the following table.
WORLD RANK LEGENDARY CARDS EPIC CARDS RARE CARDS COMMON CARDS GOLD UPGRADE ITEMS SILVER UPGRADE ITEMS BRONZE UPGRADE ITEMS PVP TICKETS #1-10 1, with a 50% chance for a second 9, with a 50% chance for a 10th 35 54 30 40 50 4500 #11-100 1, with a 20% chance for a second 8, with an 80% chance for a 9th 35 45 27 36 47 4000 #101-500 80% chance 7, with a 20% chance for an 8th 30 37 24 31 40 3500 #501-1,000 60% chance 6, with a 40% chance for a 7th 25 28 21 28 36 2500 #1,001-2,000 40% chance 5, with a 60% chance for a 6th 20 24 18 25 32 2000 #2,001-4,000 30% chance 4, with a 70% chance for a 5th 15 20 15 20 25 1500 #4,001+ 20% chance 3, with an 80% chance for a 4th 10 16 10 10 20 1000
RACE TO LEGENDARY REWARD PACKS
After the season ends, the 50% of players remaining in Legendary will be able to collect their Race to Legendary reward pack. This pack contains a 50% chance to get The Visitors. Players re-joining Legendary Rank within the first 7 days of the new season start will also be permitted to collect this reward pack.
THIS WEEKEND
If everything goes according to plan and our hotfix goes off without a hitch, we will also be rolling out the first ever Team Event this weekend! Players will be able to join their friends in teams in order to earn rewards based on collective event progress throughout the weekend. We will be walking you all through the team event in this week's Developer Stream over on Twitch and Facebook Live! We'll be raffling off sweet loot and other prizes to all of you, including a Legendary card. If we hit 500 simultaneous Twitch viewers, we will also be raffling off a copy of Mecha Timmy! So tell your friends, and join us for some sweet PvP action in this week's stream!
That's all I have for you this week, Phone Destroyers. Until next time, I'll see you on the streets of South Park!
Love,
Steve🚀

Keep it up. The game is getting better and better.
I hope the report player feature works out for you guys. I have to be honest, the level of angry, irrational players on this forum puts Blizzard forum members to shame.
I can see the report feature being abused by players who are just angry that they're losing to stronger opponents, or to players that spam the laugh emoji. Things like that.

Hello,
I also would like if Dwarf King Clyde is fixed, as the "no damage warcry" or "warcry canceled because of body block" is never mentionned in your bug fixes.
Also on monday you said the rewards in PvP lockers would be improved in L league and that we would soon have more informations, that left players both intrigued and excited.
It appears that none of this is detailed in this update, so will there be more communication about it ? Are we going to have it to discover it by ourselves?

Yes please fix dwarf king clyde. It is really sad to loose in legendary because his warcry doesn't proc. Then you just get a crappy stat warrior for 4. Also why is he 4 and not 3 in the first place??? His stats at 40/40 are pretty weak and the warcry is not more powerful than alien clyde or hookhand clyde.

Nice to hear about the team events and looking forward to improved lockers, the season ending reward and the race to legendary pack. But on the negative side? Let's see:
- No news on how Purify and Powerbind will be made playable again. So continuing to fight an uphill battle against Sci-Fi and Adventure with my Mystical deck for who knows how long to come and without knowing if I should still invest in it in the hope that Mystical will be competitive again. Mystical has all the worst spells now. Oh no sorry, Fantasy, the other theme in my deck, has the other crapy ones. So I guess it's another month of being poisoned, mind controlled, eletrocuted and blown up by people 2 levels below me.
- I have the choice between losing a decent reward for the season ending or being forced to to stay in legendary. Rock and a hard plate anyone? Fix the Mystical nerff and give more details on the improved lockers first before you condemn people to make this choice.
- I've had a nice couple of days facing ultra-mega-mega hyperdrived assassins, Mimsys, Big Gay Als and rats. But luckily that got semi-fixed although I understand it is still more powerfull than it used to be? But Sci-Fi was in need of some buffing, so that is just super *sarcastic cough*.
- My believe that the development of this game was about earning some honest money and not trying to rip people off was shattered when I discovered that the amazing daily offers meant being able to buy a legendary for TWO THOUSAND cash, which is about €17 or $20. WHoever came up with that idea should be ashamed. If it xas 100 cash for a legendary, I might even consider it, but this is rediculous.
- More Mecha Timmys being given away. You always give that card as a live stream reward so you obviously know it's the most OP card in the game. Yet you refuse to de anything about it or even mention that you will.
When the new season starts I'll be sandbagging my way to to the bottom of the legendary ranks. Still positive about the potential of this game and hopefull for the future, but unless you love upgrading cards and South Park, I cannot recommend this game to anyone right now.

It's funny how you whine about Purify and Powerbind being unplayable... I still have a very hard time facing mystical players. As soon as i summon Timmy, he is powerbinded for the rest of his life or electrocuted.. Right after as i cast powerbind or poison they get purified, still. Still strong and cheap cards, stop complaining. Mind control is 4 mana, against a 2 mana purify. Purify should cost at least 3 mana. And Zen Cartman, regen, wendy completes the pack. Zen Cartman is really OP for its cost. Very hard to get to the NK against mystical players. And I have 6 cards at level 5 and a level 2 maxed out Mecha Timmy.Originally Posted by Hanmann Go to original post
One thing I agree: some of the daily offers are ridiculously expensive!
