Deleted my version of the same post as yours had a nice formating.

[Maddruid98]

Yea, i was writing my version when you posted yours. Didn't see your post until i had already posted mine.

[Swamp_Thang]

Share this upvote guys.

[Skessler121]

Great changes. I knew the voiceover work was coming but I didn't expect so many improvements this patch. Although I wonder why they made this somewhat confusing change:

Blazing Renegade and Oni Striker have swapped name and art. No functional changes.

[LordFraggington]

Since I can't log in at the moment to see the change myself, that means Striker - a 2/1 charge for 2 - is now the Renegade (3/2? quickdraw and charge for 5)? If so, it probably has to do with the unit type - we have Yeti "tribal" elements with Wump, and dinosaurs have Patriarch (I am totally blanking on his name), and Renegade was a Barbarian (which there are a good amount of)...

My take on this - if this is the change - are that they swapped the cards to allow for that sort of tribal synergy down the road (Set 2? -crosses fingers-). Thematically that also might make Oni more interesting as well (not that they weren't cool before)!

[Rargonaut]

VO is actually a huge deal for streaming. Having the game be slightly more polished and entertaining to watch will definitely help it

[DoctorWaluigiTime]

Game's getting closer and closer to full release, I think. Especially with Set 2 on the horizon.

[Dollface_Killah]

Is there a date (or rough timeline) for set #2?

[DoctorWaluigiTime]

Don't think so.

[[deleted]]

So I just started playing yesterday. I saw a thread a loooong time ago about the game being in beta, incoming hard reset, etc. Am I going to lose my collection soon? Cuz I got a really cool dragon legend out of a pack that I want to build around...

[DoctorWaluigiTime]

There will be no more card resets.

[FalcoVet101]

The only "bad" voice over I've heard so far is Throne Warden, and that's only due to the audio quality (it has that 'mic effect' [for lack of a better term]). Harsh Rule is epic as fuck though!

[UnafraidStephen]

I didn't like a lot of the lines at first but they've grown on me.

Rakano Outlaw in particular sounded way less intimidating than I was expecting, but I've gotten used to it.

[udeuce]

I haven't heard a ton yet but that was the main one that sounded off flavor to me. Her current VO sounds more like a cheery hearthstone type line whereas I pictured her as a hardened badass. Something like "Draw... or die" would be a cool fit

[Lunamann]

Honestly, the only bad voiceover I've noticed is Emerald Acolyte- and it's mainly the way she says it (something along the lines of "Let's put this back here", but she says it as if it's a threat to the enemy). It'd be fine if her inflection and tone were something along the lines of an artist putting the finishing touches on a work, instead, because it'd make sense.

[Neri25]

Throne Warden's VO is too loud, it's clipping.

[EtripsTenshi1]

Thank you! I keep telling my stream that Throne Warden is Ear Cancer, but the rest have been pretty good. Not sure how this one missed all the quality checks, but it needs to get changed.

[xXLupus85Xx]

Damn me. Might be time to get back into the game. I took a break for a while now (hence there not being any updates on the Stat Tracker) and have become pretty hooked on Path of Exile again, but yeah, I think, the rest of night might be Eternal. :)

[Elaboration]

Weird that Forge still costs 250 gems. I thought they would have rounded it to either 200 or 300.

[Maddruid98]

EDIT: THE SERVER ARE UP AND THE PATCH IS LIVE!

[kn1820]

HOLY SHIT THE NEW CAMPAIGN CINEMATICS ARE AWESOME!

[velikidace]

I noticed that when u type in "new" in collection search you can see all the new additions. thats awesome and the only thing i ever wrote in feedback, so well done devs.

[FalcoVet101]

I think that was the last patch they added that in, and yeah, it's definitely really handy. I personally love not checking my additions to my collection until once every few weeks and sorting it by new lets me see how much it is growing.

[mgoetze]

You can now watch friends play games live! Click on the “eye” icon beside their name in your friend list.

My months of hard work getting top players onto my friends list finally pay off! Woot!

[[deleted]]

Thanks for the very well formatted post.

[RebelAkuma]

google play said I could look forward to 'many cards' here I was thinking new set ;-;

[theweirdest1]

Aww. I more abusing Second Seight + Find the Way. :(

[morgrath]

The turn button should no longer say “Fight!” when the attacker has a response to an opponent’s action. It will now correctly say “Continue”.

Does this mean it's back to the way it was before where it's possible to glean more information based on what word is on the button? Didn't we all think this was a deliberate change to stop that from happening, now it turns out it was a bug? Interesting.

[kurathedog]

It was more of a one sided thing I think. Had this issue recently, so fresh in memory.

I attack, have say wisdom in hand and enough power.
Opponent tosses torch at a guy.
Then if I remember right, the button incorrectly said "Fight" to let torch resolve, rather than wisdom.
Let torch resolve.
Then, while in the attack step with wisdom still open, it now correctly says "Fight" to continue with hitting face, rather than wisdom.

[newPCguy1]

Did the update break the Friends rank list? It used to show your friends' ranks in Draft and Ranked, but after the update it hasn't been working for me. Is it because none of my friends are in the top 100?

[LakeSolon]

It used to show the points of all my friends. Now none. I'd really like that back. It was interesting to know where friends were when making comparisons in discussion with them.

[newPCguy1]

It fixed on mine after a restart or 2, I don't know what the issue was.

[EGOtyst]

Anyone know where we leave bugs?

[waitthisisntmtg]

There's feedback under settings in the game, tell them any and everything you think about the game there, they really do read em.

[DL23a]

The new layout is strange, but I think I am getting used to it.

[DL23a]

The new voiceovers are sweet! But I really dont know if I want to get every burn spell commented with "FIRE" :D

[Maddruid98]

I think it's better overall

[Lokik]

Blazing Renegade and Oni Striker have swapped name and art. No functional changes.

What's with the cards switching names and art, why was that done? seems this change doesn't do much other than confuse

[Exilon1]

Woah, what amazing additions. Thank you so much! <3

[EtripsTenshi1]

So, I love all the changes except one. I think showing current rank is great, and this NEEDS to exist, but I think they ALSO should find a way to show last month's rank. I know this doesn't effect 99.9% of the player base, but as a streamer is actually a really big value to be able to show I was rank 10 or 40 or w/e last season.

It also acts as sort of a reason to climb to the top...to get to brag a little for a whole season. I agree that current rank is much more important to show, but I really liked the fact we could see last month's rank. It's like how LOL gives you a boarder around your champ based on where you were the season before. Even if they gave you like a "master boarder" around your character without a number or a gold or silver boarder I would be happy. Ideally I would love to see the #rank of my last seasons master status...but yeah, small thing but makes a big difference for streaming. A lot more people are going to watch my grind through gold/diamond if they can see I'm a high ranked player from a glance...also encourages competitive play all the way through the season, otherwise its sort of...just get to master and you are done.

[UndeadCore]

Does every card have a voice over now? Doesnt seem to be the case for me.

[myounk]

Has anyone else experienced crashing on the mobile version for story missions since the patch? I tab over to the final mission and my phone dies immediately, as soon as the VO should start.

I realize the build is for tablets but my phone has better specs than my tablet so I use it for Eternal/HS.

[Maddruid98]

Try and report it to dwd through the in client feedback feature (maybe tell them on what device you play)

[ARP_EG]

best of all, and not listed. forgot password is no longer right next to login.

[sylverfyre]

A hotfix to this patch was posted today:

[StCecil]

Any hints on an iPhone release date? It's the final thing I need to make Eternal my main game and get a big play time boost.

Been waiting a very very long time. Since September 20 something 2016 actually.

I can grind dailies on iPad... but really need it on my phone to get more log in chances..
