IWC 0.70 Patch Notes

September 02^th 2022, IWC Version 0.70

Major Features

Move to free to play

We are excited to announce the public early release of Infinity Wars Classic! The game is no longer locked for non-patreons and we have just started the Intrigue set Kickstarter. Play the game now and consider supporting us as we aim to bring innovation to the card game genre.

Complete user interface scaling support

All menu screens in both main menu and in-game now fully support different resolutions including 16:9, 16:10, 12:9, 32:9, 3:2 and more.

Deck Favouriting system

Major improvements have been made to user decks, including "last time played" checks, so that your custom deck list is sorted with your favourited and most recently played ones at the top of the list.

Deck Builder Improvements

The deckbuilder has received another pass of internal improvements, including better performance, better filtering for card types, stats and search functionality. We have also adjusted the size of cards in the deck builder for better visibility.

New Quest System

Gain 3 Quests every day, and lock in your favourites. There are over 30 quests currently implemented, with more coming soon. Be sure to lock in any quests you wish to keep over multiple days, as they refresh every 24 hours.

New Ingame and Menu vfx

A huge new pass has been done to both menus and ingame abilities with dozens of new particles effects.

New sound effects

The menus have received a number of new sound effects to create a better audio experience, with even more on the way.

Faction based Music

When playing games, the music will change based on the purity of your deck.

New Premade decks

12 new premade decks have been added, replacing the old outdated decks. These include decks provided by our amazing community.

Balance Changes

With the public release and the Intrigue Kickstarter happening, balance changes mostly be delayed until after Intrigue's full release in 3 weeks as the team focuses on other areas. However we do have a few small changes of already released intrigue cards:

• Tygris, Politically Inclined: Removed deploy requirement.

The token "Lord" effect we felt was playing out a bit lower impact than expected, and thus wanted to try out Tyrgis as more of a command zone option.

• Carlotta, Queen of Solace: Attack prevention ability now only effects the opponent

The Queen of Solace's ability previously prevented an Overseers deck from fulfilling its own go-wide plans. So we have removed the restriction from yourself.

• Bek: Gains +2/+2

This dragon based Character needs to get onto the battlefield, so we have increased her stats so she can survive their more often.

• Astatoth: Damage trigger changed from an end step trigger -> "When Astatoth is dealt damage for the first time each turn"

This small buff means that Astatoth doesn't need to survive till the end of turn, meaning he no longer is sometimes anti-synergistic with his unstoppable keyword.

September 07^th 2022, IWC Version 0.70.3 - Hotfix

Desyncs

Thanks everyone who has played recently and reported bugs. We are aware of some frequent and annoying desync errors that are occurring. Unfortunatly they are not quite yet fixed, however we have made significant improvements to out logging systems to help capture some information on them that was not available previously. Obviously these types of network dependent errors are slow and difficult to replicate and fix, so thank you for your patience, and we will have another patch as soon as the major issues are resolved.

Vault of the Void

Vault of the Void is doing an amazing cross-promotion with Infinity Wars Classic. A FREE battlefield is available temporarily on the store now to purchase. You can also get some time limited IWC cosmetics on their game right now. Check out their game of Steam and tell them we sent ya!

Sacrifice Mechanics Change

Sacrifice worked incredibly inconsistently in IW1. Causing a lot of confusion to its implementation and previously had some technical limitations. In addition we wanted to try having a greater mechanic difference between the two effects to see it this created new gameplay space. However we are now modifying Sacrifice to the following:

• Sacrifice acts like Kill, but cannot be prevented by indestructible, OnReplaceDeath triggers, or "Immune to Kill" effect.
• Sacrificed Characters don't reduce moral.
• Sacrifice Characters trigger both OnDeath effects such as Splitter Bot, and OnOtherDeath effects such as Verore Death Worshipper.
• Sacrificed Characters don't count as Killed for effects like Nero

This will likely be a significant buff for some cards, so we will be keeping an eye on what follow-on effects this might have in the future.

OnReplaceDeath Triggers mechanics change

Triggers that replace a card's death with something else (like the Avatars) now work a little differently, removing all non-permanent buffs and debuffs. OnReplaceDeath triggers still don't stop sacrifice effects or remove from game effects and don't actually count as the card ever dying for stuff like Verore Death Worshipper. The "Original Stats" text has been removed from all Avatars now, and Spirit of Vengeance now gives a permanent buff to retain its previous effect.

Balance Changes

• Covert Battlesuit: Text changed to: "When Covert Battlesuit enters the deployed area, it gains untouchable and indestructible until it leaves combat with a Character."

This minor change fixes an unwanted interaction with Mutated Dead and makes it a little clearer how it interacts with flicker effects.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed games sometimes saying they are a tie, when one player fast forwards
• Fixed one particular desync caused by inconsistent sorting
