Hey everyone, Buck from RedLynx here!
We didn’t have a Developer Update last week, as there wasn’t a ton of information to pass on to all of you. While we still don’t have too much information set in stone for the next update, we do have a little bit of info for you all.
THIS WEEK
This week, we’ll be having a team event that will be a token collection event - players will be able to collect tokens through PvP packs and lockers to progress through the event and collect prizes. This event will be Poison themed and will have a new sweet outfit to go along with it.
This week, we’ll also be hosting our weekly Developer Live-stream, answering community questions, raffling off sweet loot. We mentioned in our previous stream, that if we hit 1k viewers (on Twitch) on this next stream, we will raffle off 1000 in-game cash and a Legendary card to a few lucky winners, so make sure to set your alarm, tell your teammates, and spread the word in all your Phone Destroyer groups! Tune in on Facebook Live and Twitch this Thursday at 8 PM Pacific/ 11 PM Eastern to hang out with us, ask your questions, and maybe even win some sweet loot!
I’m also excited to announce that Robo Bebe will be making her way into PvP packs and PvP Lockers. This will take place once the event starts on Thursday, May 3rd. This is our first step at trying to get cards into full rotation sooner. We know there are still some cards (Looking at our little friend made of Poo) that haven’t made it to full rotation yet, but we’re working on improving this process.
🔧Tomorrow May 3rd, there will be a short period of server maintenance starting at 8am UTC and is expected to last approximately 30 minutes 🔧
NEXT UPDATE
While we don’t have an exact date for our next update just yet, it will likely be mid to late May. As usual, we want to give you all as much details about bug fixes as possible, so I will be working over the next few weeks to get the major fixes that are coming. A few of the things on the radar so far (Note, these are not confirmations of fixes, but rather some of the things we are working on for this update):
- Pre-battle screen will sometimes not show up before a match start
- Sometimes Legendary Skill Rating (LSR) appears to go down after a win (This is confirmed to be a visual bug only)
- Cards slowed by Towelie remain slowed if mind controlled
- New Kid Zap range will sometimes be shorter than intended
- Sometimes, Headhunter units will continue attacking Zen Cartman after taunt
- Improved targeting for Charge Units (Dwarf King/Hercules Clyde & Space Warrior Token)
We are also looking to add a confirmation button on PvP pack refresh and the “Buy all” option in the shops, to reduce the amount of accidental purchases.
FUTURE
As we have mentioned in a few of the previous live-streams, we are in the early planning phases of a Team Vs Team feature and we think it would be fantastic to include the community in this feature.
The way we envision this feature is as a Team Vs Team feature with no cap. It would run for a specified duration, and teams could continue to compete all the way to the very end! But we want to go beyond just playing matches. We want this new feature to incorporate planning, team-building, and new ways for teams to work together. We also want all team members (regardless of skill) to feel like valued contributors with this feature.
We want to hear your ideas about what a feature like this would look like to you, what you would want it to be and just any general thoughts about the feature. We will be starting a ‘mega-thread’ on the forums for your ideas so that we can truly develop this feature with the community. This will be open to all community members. Share your best ideas, comment on other’s ideas and let us know what you want!
That’s all for this week, but if you have any questions, drop a comment below or pop into this week’s stream!
Love,
-Your Community Team-

Before you do all of that why don’t you fix the hacking in the game. It has gone to whole new level now the have hacked the cards Nathen is throwing double cannon balls. They are throwing down double 7 drops together. No matter what events you have or updates if the hacking isn’t stooped that’s all pointless. Because the only one playing your game are the hackers.

I think you definitely should work on the matchmaking.
Personally, in 80 % of the matches, I meet a player I cannot stand any chance against just because he has got way more lvl 5 and sometimes even lvl 6 cards while I just have got one lvl 5 for now. Whether the matchmaking is based on pvp ranks or player level, none of them seems to work either, I frequently meet players with lower or even higher level (even if the difference is 5 levels, e.g. lvl 16 v. lvl 11) and sometimes players with three or four ranks above mine (I'm stuck between 45 and 47 for now). Momentarily the matchmaking is mostly anything but fair and winning has as good as nothing to do with skill. Not only that you keep losing way too often against relegated players with a much superior deck, it's also not much fun if you mostly win against people who either have got a clearly inferior deck or give up respectively quit. The matchmaking needs to be based primarly (not "only"!) on the average card level of the selected deck in order to make the game fair. And I'm not the only one who has been complaining about it - by far, in fact.
Additionally, I would like so see new cards being released more often. According to data miners and even the SP-Wiki, you got so many of them already in the game files.

I would love to see the Visitors make their way back into the mx of cards before the legendary Mr. Hankey. I'm super excited for Robo Bebe to make her way into the pvp packs.
Otherwise the game is great I have not had much issues with hackers but it is still something that should be taken care of sooner than later to ensure the life span of the game.
If anyone is looking to join a team that likes to play the game and not cheat check us out!
Thanks!

Instead of complaining like everyone about the little glitches or bugs, I thought of adding a new idea to keep people playing and coming back for more. What I thought of is to add another house on the block. Let's says kennys house. It would be a carnival theme were you win kenny tickets for playing mini games. My idea is there would be one maybe two mini games such as spin the wheel for a prize or pick a lucky duck in the pond that you wait 4 hours for like the free packs. Also there could be a random task you have to do each day, lets say you have to get 5 wins today. If you complete the task you can pick a kenny carnival game to play. I feel like this would bring an exciting element to the game. Love the game, keep up the great work.
If anyone thinks this is a good idea, reply to this message.

Not only nathan, this happens in all shooters i see it on mecha timmy too...Originally Posted by Doughboy357 Go to original post
And the acceleration effect only works for walk more fast, the attack speed stay the same because the attack not apply until the attack animation be completed u ruined this with "bug fix"
Another one thing i was seeing the frier jimmy, yes another OP card in mystic deck, not being affected by card poison or poison of clyde alien o red queen poison, was supposed to be healed every sec, but poison is the same condition and still the hp not down because he was healing and the poison damage is more for second than his healing ability for example frier jimmy heal 8 hp by sec and poison does damage 22hp by sec and his hp not down nothing.. i think is a bug

I wildly agree with the wise player Melonenlord. I have already submitted an official complaint about how awful and frustrating the matchmaking has become. I’ve been stuck between levels 43 and 46 for months now because i’m consistently paired with players at levels three to five levels above me. Just last night I was matched with a player whose entire deck seemed to contain cards at levels 5 and 6, and i’m just working my cards up to level 4 (I have I think four or five cards at level 4 now)! It really takes away from any enjoyment or incentive to play when I know I have no chance of progressing past level 45 anymore. I made it to level 46 pretty much by accident, when I got really lucky and matched up with two players in a row who didn’t even try to fight. But then, of course, my next ten matches were against players far more advanced than myself, so now I’m back down to 44.
As for cards, I am very frustrated that Hookhand Clyde’s warcry still doesn’t work half the time. Or, even more frustrating, it “works” and “kills” the card it hits, only for them to magically be fine and keep fighting anyway. When I’m constantly being matched unfairly with super powered players way outside my league, little things like this make a huge difference in whether I have any chance at all of scraping out even one destroyed phone from the match so I can barely earn my PVP pack. Also, I was very discouraged to hear the last update that a lot of the spells were upgraded, because I feel like they are ridiculously overpowered. If I go up against a player with spells in their deck, I feel like I should pretty much accept defeat right there, which doesn’t seem right. I am certainly not looking forward to a poison themed event this weekend. And finally, I was also disappointed to have Calamity Heidi downgraded, as she is one of the cards I have invested time in upgrading. Honestly, sometimes I feel like i’m being punished for having an Adventure theme deck. It seems like i’m always getting sci-fi or fantasy themed upgrade cards or player cards from free decks and PvP packs, but rarely - or definitely not nearly as often - do I get Adventure themed cards. I guess I should just switch themes if Sci-fi is just the “favored” theme, but at this point i’ve put so much time and currency into my deck that I don’t want to switch. Besides, I like my Adventure/Mystical deck, and really would rather not switch! So please, developers, help make this game less unbalanced and unfair, and I will happily continue playing. Thanks!
