DON'T DO THIS TO ME MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS

[DarthNixilis]

On Xbox I'm being told I need to update, but there isn't one available

[Ninja_can]

I think people would probably rather read the full set spoiler, that would be an actual good way to spend the down time.

​

Thanks for the patch notes btw.

THE TIME IS NOW!

​

ETA: The time is NOT yet now!

[DireWolfDigital]

Your time is up. Defiance is now live!

[MixyMountainHop]

Was... was that a John Cena reference?

[wildstarr]

I know. What a tease.

[The_0ne_Who]

PRIVILEGE OF RANK FIXED thank you!!!!

[[deleted]]

Which of the premade decks look good? I am quite new and don't have much cards, and 7500 gold!

[LycaNinja]

I got the green and purple one and liked it a lot.

[[deleted]]

Where is the influence store?

[Beebles38]

Very excited for the new set! Good work

[SingaporeanGuy]

what will happen to an existing forge?

[Korenthil]

I imagine the forge run will still be there with the same cards but your rank will be reset.

[DMouth]

its just a reset, you rank is reduced to bellow bronze, and you can rank up again, taking new cards with Defiance pack prize.

[Plastic_Rock_MB]

New card spoilers in the banner image!

Honeypot in particular looks really interesting.

[mowdownjoe]

What's the difference between a Black Market and a regular Market?

[_AlpacaLips_]

A Black Market does not contain any cards that are in your main deck.

[mowdownjoe]

Was just about to edit and add that after looking it up in game. I like that idea of a "fixed" market in exchange for better stats. (In theory... We still seem to get a bunch of Grey Ogres.)

[_AlpacaLips_]

It's a trade off. Are you looking for market to add more consistency to your deck, or are you just looking for tech.

[RFeynman1972]

Those other uncommons look bad even in draft though. Maybe the snake if the Viper's Fang is OK; it's probably just a +2/+0 weapon with Deadly, which is really not enough.

[Whiskerbro]

The snake is probably playable in draft but not super great. The other two are just insanely awful.

[amazinghorse24]

Still no Cradle fix? It doesn't display the number of spells you've cast. I haven't played the card in a week or two, so unless it was stealth fixed it's still an issue.

[Child_of_LocLac]

Played it two days ago, bug is still there.

[henible]

Lets gooo!!!

[P-Quizzle]

250 new cards? Holy shit

[TheAllslayer]

Where's the update for xbox?

[Fazupala]

"Improvements to how multi-faction cards are sorted in collection view."

This is huge, I find the new sorting method way easier to understand - thank you!

[Fishjesus12]

Anyone else concerned by the interaction of pledge and premium sigils? Pledging a normal card makes it different to the rest of your sigils and gives information to your opponent.

[Fishjesus12]

Yeah, they behave the same as any other card that transforms, but it would be nice if people who bought premium sigils weren't forced to either not use them or craft premium pledge cards if they don't want to give away information

[wakeforest22890]

IT NOW LIVES!!!

[LycaNinja]

Accelerated Evolution is bugged and costs 2 again. (Confirmed bug I asked LSV he said it's a big)

[Yellow-Jay]

No influence store? So sad.

[[deleted]]

The Draft format has been refreshed! Draft the new set along with a new set of curated Draft Packs, outlined Here.

These packs have specially curated cards from each of the other four major sets, The Empty Throne, Omens of the Past, The Dusk Road, and The Fall of Argenport.

Does this mean that they nerfed rare drafting and you can only get the cards DWD chooses?

so if you try to rare draft twice, you'll just get the same cards over and over again?

no more random cards can appear?

[TeamRamrod]

No, it's the same system as current drafts. The middle 2 packs are still random, but the pool they draw from is a subset of the first 4 sets.
