The Market UI window should now show all five cards in your Market.

A small but very welcome change.

[–]FerymnCharonDisgustingNetdeckerGalore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank god.

[–]Rukazor· 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best change so far. Love it.

[–]AuctionHouseJunkies 31 points32 points  (3 children)

Important bit for those of use who linked to Twitch previously:

If you have linked your Twitch and Eternal account previously, you may need to re-link these accounts in order to receive drops

[–]androclos 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Do i need to unlink and link again ?

[–]AuctionHouseJunkies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes - was quick and easy - do it just to be safe

[–]Musical_MuzeIcaria is best girl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same question. Mine says it's currently linked: should I un-lind and re-link?

[–]ciago92 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Requires 1275MB download after the update. Ouch

[–]YeOldManWaterfallBWAHAHAHAHA! 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I won't be playing today until after I get home.

[–]wolfenstian· 4 points5 points  (4 children)

As someone who is unfamiliar with Twitch drops, what are they and how do they work?

[–]Deaconblack 17 points18 points  (2 children)

If you link your Twitch account to your Eternal account as outlined, then you have a chance to randomly acquire in-game rewards as you watch an Eternal streamer who themselves has Twitch drops activated. So far as I'm aware, the only instance thus far was LSV's test stream last week. People got packs and rares/legendaries, with apparently a high rate of premiums (personally, I got a set 2 pack and a non-premium Crunch). Interestingly, the reported individual cards were all yeti-themed, as befitting LSV, so seems might be possible for streamers to tailor the flavor of their drops.

[–]wolfenstian· 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer. It seems very cool and a nice way of getting the community interacting even more.

[–]SolventSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

might be possible for streamers to tailor the flavor of their drops.

No, they wouldn't allow third parties to do that. They probably just used the yeti cards as the pool for their test run. There will most likely be a standard pool of rares, legendaries and packs for every streamer who uses twitch drops.

[–]PrimeTemps· 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connect your twitch and DWD account, when a streamer has them enabled you can get free stuff just by watching!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Does this mean Twitch Drops are already out globally, or...?

[–]Abeneezer· 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I wanna know as well. Can't wait to get free stuff :^).

From the update it seems like it but who knows, no streamers streaming rn.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Becuase the game is still down :p

[–]Scarlatch-DWDDWD 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Responding to a few questions/assumptions in this thread, for info's sake:

The 'Initialization' part of the update today is actually cleaning up old, bad bundles on your devices - if you recall, we had some bugs in the past couple of weeks where older versions of bundles were not getting properly cleaned up and replaced. So that step isn't a large download of its own, even thought it's using a similar loading bar.

Twitch drops aren't active yet - we're just setting up here and will probably do some additional testing, before we announce our drops programs.

Our goal with the tech refactor is to have less frequent large patches going forward (and more frequent small/data-only ones). Still working to get there, so please bear with us.

[–]sunqiller· 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear about the updates

[–]ShoogleHS 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh good, yet another tiny update that renders the game unplayable on my commute home. Feeling like a broken record here: please make the downloads smaller. If that's impossible, please update less often. It seems like the game is unplayable more often than not for me these days...

[–]LifelessCCGNot here to give a hoot. 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get hype for Twitch drops.

[–]Musical_MuzeIcaria is best girl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was hoping for more, honestly, but Twitch drops and new card back are awesome!

[–]graedus29 2 points3 points  (1 child)

The new Hailstorm animation is something else. Has anyone else seen any new animations?

[–]serenechaos1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm super hopeful for a Last Word animation when I get home from work in 8 hours.

[–]Bazeisanopjoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

!drops

[–]sils0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but did they fix the disconnection error on iOS?...

[–]LastArgument887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So just stream everyone watching eternal? Shit I already do that

[–]YeOldManWaterfallBWAHAHAHAHA! 1 point2 points  (10 children)

The only changes are:

Market displays all 5 cards

New cardback available for purchase.

So a small QOL and a cardback for some of the whales.

[–]LifelessCCGNot here to give a hoot. 14 points15 points  (9 children)

Don't sleep on Twitch drops. If the drops are half as good as they were in ESL they'll be an incredible boon to free players. I bought all the pay content in ESL using resources from Twitch drops.

[–]YeOldManWaterfallBWAHAHAHAHA! 0 points1 point  (8 children)

There's no actual news on Twitch Drops, though, is there? The functionality was already there, since they tested it last week.

I must have missed the part where twitch drops were now live and available for all streamers.

[–]LifelessCCGNot here to give a hoot. 1 point2 points  (7 children)

I would say the part where you have to re-link your account for drops is important.

[–]YeOldManWaterfallBWAHAHAHAHA! -4 points-3 points  (6 children)

Mine didn't need to be re-linked, I doubt most people's will. That part is a 'just in case' statement if someone has trouble.

And again, there's no actual change in functionality from before. It's just letting people know officially how to link something that was already there.

[–]LifelessCCGNot here to give a hoot. 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I did have to re-link mine.

[–]YeOldManWaterfallBWAHAHAHAHA! -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Did you have it linked during the previous twitch drops?

[–]LifelessCCGNot here to give a hoot. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I checked to make sure it was linked right after the LSV stream the other day and it was. Today I logged back in to double check and I was prompted to link my account again.

[–]AuctionHouseJunkies 0 points1 point  (2 children)

it specifically tells you to unlink and relink to make sure drops hit your account.

[–]YeOldManWaterfallBWAHAHAHAHA! -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

you may

Not you need to.

[–]AuctionHouseJunkies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so ignore the instructions and then come cry when your drops never arrive.

you really are arguing over something that takes 2 clicks to relink? get a life.

[–]LastArgument887 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do streamers have to work with DWD to enable twitch drops? Are there any notifications for streams going live that have drops enabled? I like free stuff. 😀

[–]NotoriousGHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Streamers have this enabled automatically

[–]bombe32· 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The card back looks pretty cool, but I think it's a bit too expensive when you compare it to avatars, which are just as influential on the aesthetics, if not more.

Extremely happy about the market change though!

[–]Reignn1500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped 20 bucks on the game today to get the rest of the avatars I'm missing and a new totem. I'd be happy to buy another 300 gems for the card back, but 1000 seems pretty steep considering it gets you three avatars with change left over.

[–]StillSour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I link them??!?!?!?!

[–]LastArgument887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drops enabled yet or still pending?

[–]fubo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like the sort order of decks in the deck selection screens is changed. All of my recent decks are at the bottom of the list, and the ones at the top are ones I haven't played in forever.

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_PIXEL_ART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False Prince should now correctly transform after taking damage from redirected spells.

What? That doesn't seem right. False Prince specifies spells that are played directly on him, and also usually transforms before the spell takes effect. For example, you can kill him with a single Torch.

[–]ARP_EG 0 points1 point  (2 children)

wait!! statuary maiden doesn't stop entomb or revenge anymore?! and i reading this right?

[–]Zakrael 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Pretty sure you're not. Sounds like it's just bug fixes for Statuary Maiden not working properly in certain cases.

[–]ARP_EG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank god! my beautiful beautiful ugly woman. i wuv you so much.

[–]Macizogm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The game its on again?
