PATCH NOTES V0.15.3


Patch 0.15.3 is primarily a bug-fix patch. The major content change is that Purple cards are moving to Core and Q-mode will be disabled. UI polish is ongoing.

We’re moving ever-closer to Beta and the account wipe! Your assistance in getting the game into the best possible shape is greatly appreciated - we’re incredibly grateful for all of the great bug reports and suggestions that have been submitted in the last few weeks.
