Friends vs Friends News

[h2]Letter From the Team[/h2]

Hey friends! Hope you are doing great!

As you may know the game is on sale right now so it’s a perfect moment to recommend it to your friends, in fact we monitor all your conversations in your family groups, so if you don’t recommend the game we are going to put you on a black list.

SO we have kept working on the game and trying to bring you new stuff that will be interesting to play with. It will be out next week but based on our research we found out that you might be interested to know about it TODAY.

So we are going to explain the features but we will only tease the biggest parts of the patch.

[h2]Upcoming Stuff[/h2]

Review of audio (bugged and new): We’ve spent some time working on the sound effects, sounds cool, right? (heh)

Alt+F4 Issue: If you’ve experienced this stuff you know what we are talking about.

Review of daily quests: This is a big change, basically now the quests are going to be infinite, which means that you can keep doing it over and over. More info about this will be dropped with the patch.

A NEW MAP: Ok! Somebody said that we have more characters than maps and that’s true but somehow they are hard to do so we are going to drop a brand new map which is cool tbh.

Here is a couple of cool pics so we can tease it a bit and keep the coolest screens for next week.







A NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTER: Again, we are not going to show everything here so we can have more #engagement next week.



[h2]Reveal of the Week[/h2]

We usually reveal some stuff here but we did above so here is another hint of what’s going to drop next week.



[h2]Community Spotlight[/h2]

While we wait for the next patch here is a pic that you can send to your family groups when you recommend the game to them. It’s made by radiosigint.

Hey folks, it’s me. The Mayor of Friendtown.

Not many people know but I’m a bug, bugs are cool, actually better than the other kind of people or animals. That 's the message. WE ARE BETTER THAN YOU. (Tell to your family in your chat groups)

[h2]Letter from the Team[/h2]

Hey all! We just want to share this new(™) update with a cool intro.

【H】【E】【Y】　

In this update we are going to introduce some new(™) changes that might improve the general flow and specially the queue times. As always nothing is set in stone but we are confident about them and also we are open to reading your feedback

That said, let's check what's new(™).

(sorry in advance for the length of the text but there are a lot of new(™) things)

[h2]New(™) Stuff[/h2]

Cosmetics flexing: Now you can show off your new(™) card backs to other players at the beginning and end of matches, feeling all cool.

Play Button: A new(™) shortcut leading to the mode selection. This will improve the flow, especially for 2v2 matches.

Perk system: We're trying out a new(™) feature to improve the game’s flow, especially the queue times. This system will empower players with lower skill levels to make matches challenging for more experienced players - positively impacting newcomers without negatively affecting veterans. While you grab your torches, remember we can iterate or even revert certain parts of it.

The Perk System is going to kick in when two players with a significant rank difference are matched together. Depending on the difference, the lower-ranked player is going to be randomly given one or several passive cards from a pool that are active throughout the match. If you see this card before a match, it means that this player has a perk!



Please share your feedback and thoughts in the thread below:
Steam Discussion

Keep in mind two things, the system will be seen less the more players there are in game AND FvF is about having fun, not grinding Elo (but you can keep grinding if you don’t mind).

Speed between rounds: We've adjusted the start-of-match and between-round times to a new(™) speed to make everything quicker.

Cosmetic economy: Now completing all daily missions grant 3 new(™) red coins instead of 1, giving you new(™) opportunities to get a skin.

Ranks Progression: Now, the ranking progression will be smoother and less punitive with defeats. In the next update, we'll further improve something new(™) related to this issue.

Card Packs Iteration: Now the card packs available in the store contain one extra card. That's 25% more new(™) cards at no extra cost!

Targets of frustration: If you ever feel like we're doing things you don't like, you can shoot at these targets.They're not great, but they'll serve some purpose and more importantly they are new(™).

[h2]Mayor's Message[/h2]

Hey folks, it’s me. The Mayor of Friendtown.

Big changes are coming, and we believe that change is good. I am the mayor, and I love changes, except when it comes to elections; those changes are more dangerous.

On another note, I would like to use this platform to say that in these times of evolution, understanding and open-mindedness are the path for citizens to play their best role in society.

Without further ado, I hope you all have a good new(™) week.

Heya, friendmigos!

We mentioned in last Friday's Bulletin that we had a new update for y'all, and it's HERE!

It's mostly a bunch of stuff to make the game flow better, but we got a couple other little cool things thrown in.

So here's the stuff that's got all changearoo'd:

[h3]You can now change characters or decks between matches![/h3]

Ever just think you could've won if you just had that one card in that one deck that you just happened to not pick? Well now you don't need to go back to the HUB and change up everything before jumping back into the action!



[h3]You can now have 8 saved deck slots![/h3]

Go ahead and get into deckbuilding something NUTS for us. You've got the space for it now, no excuses!



[h3]PalPrizes will no longer steal your organs![/h3]

Also we're streamlining and reducing the use of PalPrizes so you get a chance for a skin every day alongside maybe getting a keychain, profile pic, or card back.

[h3]All hail Jakob, the Hero![/h3]

We've built a state in the lobby in honor of Jakob, the only player that has won 10,000 matches.



[h3]Cardbacks, Cardbacks, Cardbacks![/h3]

Y'all got NEW CARDBACKS to enjoy! Based off of the tournaments hosted by KTqtpi (the carpet one!), and two other tournaments hosted in our Community Discord server that you should absolutely join and why aren't you there right now?



And I'm OUTIE. Hope y'all have a great time killin' each other and enjoy the new ~*~flow~*~ !

Hello friends!

It's us, the devs, and we're using neuro-marketing tools known as clickbait to announce that next week we're going to launch new things. We've been working on improving the game since we launched Nerdvana.

I'll leave the link down below so the clickbait has an interest funnel that ends in a potential sale ($$).

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2680480/Friends_Vs_Friends_Nerdvana/


After this advertising break, we would like to present the features we're going to launch next week:

Character switching between matches: If you've ever thought about how you could beat your rivals if you changed characters between matches, you're in luck! This feature will make trips back to the HUB less frequent, or so we hope. *people clapping*

Deck switching between matches: Actually, we could have included this feature with the one above, but it gives better formatting to the text and makes it seem like we've done twice as much. *people clapping*

More card decks available: Knowing that the previous feature would be uninteresting if there weren't many possibilities, we've extended the number of saved decks from 4 to 8 (we know that people might need more, but for now, we didn't want to break things in the interface). *people clapping*

PalPrizes will no longer steal your organs: We're going to streamline and reduce the use of PalPrizes so you’ll have the opportunity to win an incredible skin every day, with the risk of getting a (not very exciting) keychain, profile picture, or (more exciting than the other options) card back. *people clapping*

[h2]Reveal of the Week[/h2]

Next week, a new element will appear in the HUB commemorating an achievement by a member of the community, putting an end to an issue that the game has been dealing with since its release. Many of you will be grateful for their sacrifice.

We've blurred the image so that you can speculate on what it is while we have time to finish it for next week.



[h2]Community Spotlight[/h2]

This week's spotlight is on CHILCHUCK who created this incredible fan art based on the character from our latest DLC, NERDVANA. BUY IT NOW!! (If I had put the link here again, it would have been too obvious clickbait)



[h2]Mayor’s Message[/h2]

Hey folks, it’s me. The Mayor of Friendtown.

I'm using this newsletter to tell you to pay attention to the store that opened last month called NERDV-.
