Even during the holiday period, the team is hard at work coming up with new ideas to improve your gaming experience.
Today we are delighted to be able to announce a whole range of changes and updates that we hope you'll enjoy.
Firstly the Survivor mode has finally passed its test period. We've reviewed and increased the Clintz rewards you can win and we’ve added credits for the best players of the day, week, month and Deck format. You can therefore put together series in all the available Deck formats to try and increase your winnings.
We’ve also used this opportunity to increase the prizes awarded in the ELO tournaments: not only for those players who have high scores but cannot get into the top 25, but for everyone else too.
We’ve also decided to apply the challenging rules in Survivor mode to all the other competition modes (daily tournaments, ELO, etc.): visibility and Quick Battle are obligatory, refusals are forbidden.
Another much awaited change is that we've completely updated the ranking system: your rank is now directly linked to the percentage of the collection you own (no more respect points) and we’ve added 4 new grades (Veteran, Hero, Legend and Divinity).

@ tanto and 0-jade:
Yes, 6 straight times of playing different players w/ those same cards in play....Which is why I "choose" my opponents even in tourneys, so that at least I can have a shot or make the battle 50/50 for me to have a chance to win. Now that we can't choose our opponents, think about the people who only have the measley cards out there (including me), who don't have enough resources (And time to earn clintz) to buy the "Decent" cards just to match those cards. Skill isn't the issue because, you can only bluff so much and think so long before you make a move. I'm not saying that I'm picking the weak players during tourneys. How will I know that I'm playing against a weak player if the player's name, guild, and level is written on question marks? Now that my chance of avoiding players with those "banned" cards became very slim, does this meant that I have to wake up on a certain time when the "elite" don't play? (what I meant about the elite, are the players with those said cards and more) It's good to have random and non-random DT but, to take away the right to refuse? I mean, c'mon! I already went through playing the game when I was in the lower levels, having losses for 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS! And that's waaaaayyyy before. Now that I've finally found a way to earn clintz to buy better cards by trying to avoid those so called "high-level" players, it's taken away.........for fairness.........Which leaves me no other choice but to ACCEPT STRAIGHT LOSSES again....

You can always refuse red-face, no matter what.
And.. we dont want a tournament running at the same time with differents rules (random / non random).

@LB DyAbLo:
tourney hours not always means the tourney rooms become no random room
they will switch each time, random, no random, random, and no random again
I think you played when the room is random?
@ Marshall Law
Have you ever thought that those players who now have 'elite' decks started out in your position?
Also, that is just part of life - our task is to make a deck that will be reasonably competitive against most people- but there will always be some deck combos that destroy your perfectly made deck - that is the nature of the game. Just move into Piranas/nightmares or find a way around it like I have had to.
BTW - I dont have those 'elite' cards you talk about - but would love to - part of my aim in this game.

Sometimes quick challegnge jsut stops working, and the only way I can battle is if opponent challenges. The only way to refresh is to close the window, and reenter room but each time i leave room, I realize that I lose points. This has been costing me top ten finishes in the last few days. I didnt see it till now. Please do something about this because I have grown sick of not going anywhere in the freaking dt rankings because of this. Please address this issue as soon as possible. tyvm.

Immortal: we've been working hard to fix all the QB possible problem, but some may remain. If you still have issue *now* (because our last fix was saturday), please contact us with a maximum of details (screenshot, detailed explanation etc..)
. Btw, Have you try restarting a QB to "get back" your challenge (instead of reloading) ?
We indeed added a msg today when you reload to explain what's happening with your points.
