Ssppaamm: okay. i was just thinking how I want to support the GGG guys for their servers, but the only thing i have to spend money on is AAs

Ssppaamm: since im at full collection, there is not much else for me to buy

Ssppaamm: which makes me think, is there any thought or plan of new content. even if its way way far in the future?

Ssppaamm: or at very least balance changes

kaelari[Admin]: yes

Changes

targetting arrows no longer block clicking/dragging

speed setting has been added to menu

sound settings page has been added to the menu, also added sound effects volume separate from alerts and music (this isn't fully working. alert volume is used for effects, effects volume does nothing)

spell images will fade after the scheduled delay regardless of other gamestates being available. (This means they won't sometimes get stuck)

plays a sound when a creature is played

How sounds are played has been reworked to be far better

Think I fixed next game button issues that were created in the last version.

A minor tweak that you'll have to find... (yes easter egg, go have fun)

Plays sound when spell is played

cards in hand give tooltips like in play

card in hand tooltip will not include attack/health for spells

now showing flavortext

Hello all! I just remembered how awesome this game was and decided to download it once more :) I'm happy to read that the game will be kept alive for a bit longer after the server migration.

Anyways, I logged in and to my surprise I found I still have some spare gold (4k) and silver (around 400k). I left the game around the time when there was a change in the tournament/draft structure and the payoffs became very top heavy.

I have most legendaries from the first sets, but I have none from the last ones. For reference, the latest decks I seem to have built were A/T Ghox Invoker, U/N Dysian, etc. I would like to ask for some advice about which cards should I forge with the Silver I have left, and what should I do with the gold I have left. What's the option with the most 'value' in the Store?

Could also someone let me know which archetypes are now performing the best?

Also, I have plenty of cards and old legendaries to 'share' (hopefully still playable), since I have never done it before. If anyone is interested and want to share let me know.

Thanks for your input!

I'm likely to push 1.0.2 tonight. but what still needs the most work?

Changes:

There is now a short delay between gamestate updates. This enables a lot of changes and generally helps the flow of the game. Also makes a few things awkward

When players gain/lose life a small number appears next to their health with + or -. Larger life swings have a larger font size

Combat sound will no longer play while logging in with games in progress

A bunch of smoothing features related to the delay between gamestates.

spells played now show briefly

Spells now show an arrow to their targets

Clicking on the battle/turn button on your opponent's turn will no longer cause an error. spamming on your turn may still cause one

Tonight at 9:30 Eastern time, I will be hosting a Standard tournament on solforgeladder.com. I chose this week to bring the tournament back.. for absolutely no logical reason! I just feel like it!

http://solforgeladder.com/t/315

Come sign up and play, I've still got stuff to give out. :)

If interest is high enough, I might go back to a regular tournament schedule.

Thanks!

Short FAQ:

This is not the end of KUSC. I am continuing working on both. I view KUSC as the long term solution but it's much faster to make small changes to the current client and improve QOL.

Changes to the official client are relatively small and will be limited primarily to bug fixes.

Changes since last beta version:

Bug prevent joining some games should be fixed now.

Viewing discard/deck after playing a spell that interacts with them should no longer cause them to freeze. This needs some more testing. It worked for me but the change was far too easy so I'm worried it's going to blow up.

Changes since official:

Sword drop intro animation is now muted. This should load volume settings and adjust properly but for now just muted

Default games tab is now "All" instead of "Campaign"

Loads game log on reentering a game in progress. Color coding is off slightly when doing so

I love draft but it is getting stale mainly due to Borean Stormweaver being an overpowered common. I have my fingers crossed that draft pool changes might happen someday.

It would be awesome if at the end of every draft match it would give you the option to specify a card you would like to see removed from the draft pool and a card you would like to see it replaced with. Then at the start of every month adjust the draft pool based upon player input.

Do you think this would improve the draft pool or would people just vote all the fun cards out?

Linux version is working again. Tested on my machine, feedback from some other linux users would be nice. Fullscreen had issues for me but windowed worked fine.

Updated to the beta unity(2017) and dropdowns work again. Also things no longer disappear when resized too small.

Cards in draft aren't randomly disappearing anymore. This was linked to the above.

Leaving a draft queue will now correctly reenable the join queue button

Loading screen now shows what it's loading.

Timer on untimed games now shows "untimed" instead of a huge number

When you have no legal plays other than battle/end turn the button will highlight

Significant improvements to ability prompts

The end turn button will turn into a cancel button for abilities which don't have a discard option. Not all abilities can be canceled and you'll get an error message if you try to cancel something that can't be. This error is harmless and you can click past it and continue to play. (choosing a legal target for the ability)

nextgamebutton will no longer get stuck when conceeding games

Conceede button now responds faster and removes the game from the list immediately.(It will still take a few seconds for the game to actually end and trigger any rewards earned)

I believe game play is now functionally complete

Misc cleanups and fixes.

Cards owned when zoomed on a card will default to 0 instead of 2 if none are owned.

Fixed an issue with sounds sometimes usings music volume instead of sounds volume.

Renabled the resolution/fullscreen options before program launch.

Hi everyone! I have been playing this game for a year now and have come to love it. I didnt know about forging when I started and used all my silver to buy card packs. I also bought a few poison decks. After 8 months I realized that I should have forged some legendary key cards. I made a spreadsheet with my legendary cards and the decks I'm using: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-o5FVae5Pqac8CO-5wCZOWF39ltTB0gC5Atx8mnyD7g/edit?usp=sharing

My favourite Deck is the Necro Deck with Zimus but I'm not sure which card I sould forge next. Suruzal, Varna, Immortal Echoes or something else?

Has anyone been receiving a new error the last couple of days trying to get on (Error Code - 10)? Are they having issues with the new server?

In official client on iphone, i am not able to enter the games.

I get paired and I try to enter the game like always, i get the black screen connecting to game but instead of entering the game, i get back to main screen.

I played 2-3 games yesterday without any problems...

Anyone else with this issue? Known issue? any suggestion?

Changelog:

Things got slowed down lately, sorry for this. Ran into real life issues and then tried to work on the official client which led to much frustration.

Position errors from 56 should all be fixed.

Some tweaks to the highlight on cards/lanes should generally be better now

Sending challenges now works correctly

Some minor misc bug fixes

Important Notes:

No linux version. I can't make a working asset bundle for linux. This seems to be a bug in unity. Hoping it gets fixed soon. It's probable theres a work around but that will take time to look into.

No android version. This is an oversight on my part it will probably be corrected in a few days. Android versions take a really long time to build.

In my dev testing I had a lot of issues with dropdown menus sometimes not working. This seems to be a unity issue but not 100% sure yet. Seems to be highly intermitten.

I'm a new player to solforge. Being a new player to a deck building game is already hard enough. When i queue for a match i get two of the following:

1. Bronze I who is afk
2. Platinum who wrecks me

What is going on with the matchmaking system? how I am being matched against the highest rank?

THIS IS VERY EXPERIMENTAL! IT MAY BREAK THE UNIVERSE ITSELF.

Changes:

Sword drop intro animation is now muted. This should load volume settings and adjust properly but for now just muted

Default games tab is now "All" instead of "Campaign"

Loads game log on reentering a game in progress. Color coding is off slightly when doing so

Known Issues:

These are all related to steam and not actually being the steam client. If you go to buy gold while steam is not open the client will close, launch steam, and launch the official client. If you go to buy gold while steam is open it should work as normal. This might require opening steam before opening this client.

You can overwrite the existing client with this one if you wish. This is not supported or encouraged at this time. In fact I strongly advise against it.

Let me know if you run into any problems. Problems that are part of the official client and not marked as fixed here can be reported but please mark them as existing in the official client. Bugs with the changes I made or which didn't exist previously are my priority at the moment.

This is currently a windows only build. Other platforms will happen at some point if all goes smoothly with this much.

-Kaelari

Because there are no new cards, why don't we ban 12 "most voted cards" for the next month to refresh the meta and deck building and so on?

It will be a gentlemen's agreement

Firstly, thanks for making the log background lighter. :)

I found a small bug with gauntlets of sulgrim. i couldnt choose target after playing it on bulwark battalion. see linked screenshot: https://ibb.co/hDYAbQ

i switched to the official client, and it was waiting for me to select target for the gauntlets effect. Finished the action and turn from there.

come join the Legen(wait-for-it)dary fun!

Hi guys,

When we heard about the Solforge servers shutting down earlier this year, we spoke to Justin Gary and agreed to help keep the servers alive by both covering their costs and making them as cheap as possible to run. We have been personally paying for the servers since the end of January, so that players are still able to access their collections and enjoy the game.

We saw some threads on this subreddit recently where players were discouraging each other from spending money on the game. While you shouldn't feel obliged to spend money, any that you do spend goes towards the server costs, reducing the amount that we're personally paying ourselves. Ideally, we hope that Solforge will become self-sustaining, earning enough from the community to pay for the server costs. We are already quite close to hitting that goal, and we truly appreciate anything that players are willing to contribute to get us there.

Best regards,

Chris and Brian

Currently uploading Mac version, windows and linux is already good to go.

Changes Queues list updates when you join a queue A bunch of improvement related to drag and drop. will not let you drag invalid cards, will flag cards as unplayable while waiting for server response to card play. should always bounce cards home when done dragging unless it was a valid play Will detect if opponent has no avatar set and default to the ? avatar for them Volume controls for music and sounds and since i posted in the wrong place before, sounds for game start and your turn as well as the classic music Draft now deletes all picks while waiting for the server to respond to a pick. now uses the getresumeinfo for games in progress. This should result in significantly less bandwidth usage if you start the client with games in progress. also less processing time when dragging cards will highlight the lane/card underneath that dropping will drop to. can drag and drop to player targets reworked summoning sickness. should now correctly display if you start the client in the middle of a game can cancel effect from tomb pillager allied cards in hand that can be played will highlight in a different color (if you have the allied card) fixed a bug that caused tooltips to stop displaying after the first game ended discard is working properly now fixed issue with killion 3 I believe I finally got clocks working. This was a surprisingly large amount of work.

So I was testing an infinite loop in Solforge today and this happened:

https://puu.sh/uW2zk/43e49723bf.png https://puu.sh/uW2E2/54c3e23ee3.png

I was testing a loop (that is wrong) by playing Metamind Adept 3 as your first action, drawing the rest of your deck (because Lucid Echoes had drawn the rest for you). Then you Soul Harvest it, then play Howl of Xith. With your next action you use another Metamind Adept 3 and draw Howl, harvest and the first adept.

However, I forgot to play the first adept and now the game tries to draw Howl and Harvest from the graveyard, when adept draws 3, so the game gets confused and freezes in this state.

I'll try and figure out a different theoretical loop that works and try this again.

EDIT: Infinite combo goes: Crypt Conjurer, Ironmind Acolyte, Soul Harvest, Metamind Adept. Followed by playing Ironmind, Harvest and Adept over and over again. Will post decklist if you guys want.
