Hey everyone, Buck from RedLynx here!
We’ve had a busy week here at RedLynx. We started off the week by releasing an update, which had some bug fixes and technical improvements.
As some of you may have noticed, it also had some unintended card configurations that leaked in from our test servers, for a short period of time. There were a few cards that are being considered for next season’s balance changes, that mistakenly made it into the live build. We want to be clear and say those changes are not final and are only a snippet of some things that are currently being tested (more about that down below). It also had the unintended effect of introducing a bug where card levels are no longer displayed - but fear not! We’re working on that, and it will be fixed in the near future.
We also just finished up our latest 24-hour event, which was Sci-Fi themed. Were you able to finish it? Let us know down below!
THIS WEEK
CHILDREN OF THE BLOOD
This week, we’ll be having a team event that will be a token collection event - players will be able to collect Blood Crystals by opening up lockers, after winning PvP matches and opening PvP packs.
This event will be Fantasy themed and will be featuring a brand new Fantasy card, Blood Elf Bebe.
Blood Elf Bebe has a pretty cool ability - when she defeats an enemy unit, she heals herself and adds to her maximum HP.
All players who complete this week’s solo event are guaranteed at least eight copies of Blood Elf Bebe, and may receive more. There are additional chances throughout the team component of this event, as well. As usual, this weekend’s event will run from Thursday (UTC) to Monday (UTC).
As you collect tokens, you’ll be able to unlock various event card packs. The reward tiers and point values can be found below.
SOLO REWARDS
Reward Tier Points Required 1 15 2 55 3 120 4 225 5 350 6 550 7 800 8 1250
TEAM REWARDS
Reward Tier Points Required 1 450 2 1250 3 5500 4 12000 5 20000 6 30000
DEVELOPER STREAM
There will be no developer stream this week. Friday is a Finnish Holiday, so the office will be closed. Don’t fret though, we’ll be back at it again next week! After further review, we will be continuing our streams at the ‘new’ time 9:15 AM PST/12:15 PM EST. We’ll continue at this time while gathering viewer feedback in order to see which time you all like best, so it may still change in the future, but we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop!
FUTURE
BALANCE CHANGES
So, here’s the news that everyone wants to hear! As mentioned above, when we released our most recent update, a small portion of some of the upcoming balance changes (which are still being tested) were accidentally added into the live game. When we make balance changes, there are multiple rounds of testing - we test via both play-testing (testing for balance) and quality assurance/bug hunting (regular ol’ testing).
As we were only play-testing these (and we play-test a TON of different options before making decisions) this was obviously an unintended change. The changes that were added are not finalized and also only contained a small view of what is being play-tested. Some of them didn’t even contain all the changes for the given units in question. We cannot yet tell you exactly which cards will be balanced, as those are all still being play-tested and no final decision has been made. What I can tell you is we are currently looking at and play-testing roughly 20 cards from both Sci-Fi and Fantasy themes.
It’s important to note, it’s very likely that we won’t make changes on all 20 cards at one time, but this is part of our testing process. There will be some cards that will be slightly brought down and some cards that will be improved. There will be more detailed information on the exact balance changes closer to the season reset, once we have finalized what is to come. We hope you understand, and appreciate your patience.
HOTFIX INCOMING
We also noticed a few little bugs popped up after the last update, so we are currently planning a hotfix to address these issues. We are shooting for next week, but we will update an exact date when we have it.
At the time of writing, these are the things that will be included in the hotfix:
- New Icon
- Enemy unit levels not appear after spawned
- In certain situations, users can become stuck during the tutorial
SERVER MAINTENANCE INCOMING
On June 27th (next Wednesday) we will have a short server maintenance. This will start at 8:30 AM UTC and is expected to last around 45 minutes. During this time the game will be unavailable. The 24 hour event will start a bit sooner on Tuesday in order to finish before the start of the maintenance window.
That’s all we have for you this week. Good luck with the remainder of the Legendary Season! Until next time, we’ll see you on the streets of South Park!
Love,
Your Community Team,
Buck🦌, Steve🚀 and Toller🐶

Hey Thanks for the update.
Can we get some information when the Bugs for DKC will be fixed?
Currently Does not do WarCry Damage to Zen when Zen is using his card. (Tested multiple times since patch)
DKC Targeting issues when he switches to a new target after his WarCry if his WarCry does not kill a unit.
DKC when under MindControl does not do Warcry damage if there are no units on the field and he is headed towards NK if another unit is spawned he does not do his WarCry.
Any updates on the Issues\bug with players leaving games before it starts causing a Drop in Rank which is still happening and its not just visual issue, it results in Drop of Rank\Elo.
Any updates on the Bug of Hits from Gnomes not registering on NK?
And of course, Any chance we can get Team Leader-boards before 2019? I know you guys indicated that team leader-boards could happen at the end of the year but many teams are fearful that the game may be in a "dead slate" before that could even happen. Anyway of doing ANYTHING to help team vs team competition?

"There will be some cards that will be slightly brought down and some cards that will be improved"
Please keep that "slightly" in mind when you actually roll these out. Whatever you are planning too do to any card, cut that reduction in half. Revisit it in a few months time and adjust accordingly and maybe reduce a bit further. Don't kill peoples cards just because a small group of people post 10 times a day on every possible media outlet saying a card should be nerfed. They are not the true voice of your community.
Buff existing cards, and release new ones faster that can counter. You shouldn't be even touching that nerf button. Especially with your track record in this game so far for killing themes.

For starters just like anyone else who’s been playing this game for an extended period of time, have amassed quite a collection of unused epic/ legendary cards. I know that at least half, or more of each class that I have will NEVER get used, and do me nor anyone else any good just sitting in my decks collecting dust. I was thinking either devising either some sort of team trading system, or maybe even a “trade-in” system. Obviously team trading is self explanatory, but to keep people from abusing that, put restrictions on it. Just like after requesting cards, the timer starts, but if you were to request say a legendary, you would be required to wait 30 days before requesting. And epic would require a week or 2 before requesting again. Or whatever the general consensus would be on wait times, just throwing ideas out there. And as for the trade-in system, because I really don’t think the developers would go for the requesting aspect. Allow is to trade in copies of cards we don’t want in exchange for upgrade items of that class. Simple as that. And that would fall into my idea of card downgrading. Probably like most of you, when I first started playing this game I was upgrading every card I had every chance I got. Then once I started focusing on the key cards I would use in my main decks, I was left with these half upgraded cards that would never be used again. So I propose a downgrade system, and it would be nice to get all items back that were used in every upgrade, I don’t see you guys allowing that either. But let’s say one upgrade I used 10 alien hands in a single upgrade, even getting back 5 would be better than nothing, especially when one upgrade to a level 4 epic could cost you 20 of them.

A lot of people have been wanting a trade in for mats option / recycle option for a while. I think being able to request an epic could work if you were only could request one. There would be one person who would be happy to do it as there seems to be standard epics in the shop and others harder to get. We could have a system whereby we could only request 1 epic a week or something. I dont know. I doubt legendary requests would work but epic should be allowed for sure. Please dont nerf fantasy too much. Ive spent a lot of time changing decks and going into this after you nerfed the **** out of mystic, before it changed back and i just dont think i could handle a massive change again. It would kill the game for me once and for all.
