Welcome to the Mythgard Closed Beta! Accounts from the Alpha will be transferred over automatically. This patch “features” our one (and only) planned wipe. It also marks the start of our first transition to a new Ranked Ladder season as the Alpha season ends and the Beta season begins. We’re incredibly excited to have you join us for this new phase of the game!
Wipe
Added 20 basic purple cards to starting collection
Changed starter decks to include purple
Alpha accounts transferred automatically with starter pack and mythril purchases restored (+10%)
Thank you gift of 1 pack per level added to transferred accounts
Decklists transferred as “phantom” decks
Seasonal and ranked card backs carry over
Added 5 uncommon and rare purple cards to tutorial single card rewards
4K Gallery Art
New Ranked Ladder season
New Beta ranked trim rewards
Players who participated in ranked ladder in the Alpha will be set to the bottom of the next lower tier (eg, if you were G07 in Alpha, you’ll be set to S01 in Beta)
Mythril and above tiers will not be able to match with bots or casual players
Added new tier above Mythril - Champions, which uses an entirely different rating system. Champions players have their name colored dark blue in game
Arena Fee/Reward restructure
Players get free Arena entry with a 9 day cooldown
Winning a game reduces the cooldown by 1 day
Losses or ties reduce the cooldown by up to 1 day, depending on game length
Reward coin is now based on PvP rewards, drawing from the bonus pool (thus a typical win will result in ~120 coin)
Entry may be purchased with coin or mythril if the free entry is on cooldown
Entree fees are converted into coins and placed into “escrow” until the end of the run
If two paid players encounter one another, they can win coin from each other’s escrow
The remaining escrow amount is recouped by players at the end of their run if they win at least 5 games
Partner card back & trim
If either is equipped, some of the partner’s cards will be randomly upgraded to prestige for the duration of the game
New crafting undo system
Players may “undo” cards made with essence or unmade within the last few minutes without penalty. This is different from the former system in that the undo buffer now persists even if you close the crafting dialog across multiple different cards
This system will allow players to “undo” crafting actions made within a TBD period if a card is changed for balance reasons in the future
Fixed unmake warning when unmaking a card that is in a featured deck
Fixed issue where unmaking a card in featured deck would mark featured deck phantom
Fixed card completion percentages being wrong when taking into account prestige cards
Fix for client lockup when purchasing from the store while a match is ready
When opening a pack players will no longer be able to open a non-prestige version of a particular mythic if they already own the prestige version (unless they own all of the mythics)
Clicking the glowing match ready notification now auto-readies the match when returning to the menu (ie. auto-click of the match ‘play’ button)
Gallery now shows card art when owning only the prestige version of a card
Players can now see their 2v2 ally’s deck in the card tracker
Fixed issue where player could burn/play cards before a tutorial has started
Fixed twitch overlay showing cards while story cinematic is playing
Fixed error when using Bob “Banzai” Vaquero’s activated ability with an empty deck
