IWC 0.77 Patch Notes

December 14^th 2022, IWC Version 0.77 - Holiday Patch

Major Features

Deck Builder Improvements

A significant number of changes have been made to the deckbuilder to make changing the card cosmetics and deckbuilding in general more satisfying.

• Improved card decoration selection: you can now better select the exact card decoration/cosmetics you want for your deck cards. Clicking to zoom a card in the deck builder, whether that be from the selection grid or the current deck cards will show a list view on the left with the available cosmetic variations you own for that card.
• While hovering over a card display in the deck builder grid, you can cycle between all the available cosmetics for that card. Do this by using W/S keys, UpArrow/DownArrow or by holding Ctrl+Scrolling.
• More customized faction filtering for filtering for specific purities: left clicking on the faction filters now allows cycling between single, dual, or tri purity cards of that faction (right clicking resets faction filter).
• Improved filtering (including search) performance
• Improved deck displays in both the Play menu and Deck Explorer menu uses a slimmer design which allows showing more decks at once.

Finally we have deck "Face Card" selection coming soon, however it didn't quite make it into todays patch.

Minor Features
