Infinity Wars - Animated Trading Card Game News

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.52.

If it seems that you've missed a few patches, don't worry, we've had some short and hotfix patches recently as we've fixed up issues and made minor fixes here and there, things that weren't worth publishing out to all of our old players. These small patches are always featured in the Patreon area of our Discord, so the people who care the most to know what's happening week to week have access to everything they need, but we wanted to wait until more substantial changes had occurred before telling everyone again. So, these patch notes will include everything from 0.50 and 0.51's hotfix as well as the most recent patch.


[h3]Reminder: Intrigue Sign-up[/h3]
We're nearing our Free to play Beta launch, and joining it is our brand new set release, Intrigue.

[h2]Major Features[/h2]
[h3]Grayscale & Inventory System[/h3]
As part of our move to a Complete Trading Card Game, we have released our Grayscale and card collection systems. All accounts by default will have a copy of every single card available in the deck builder, as a "Grayscale" card, these are in greyscale and non-animated. You don't technically own these, they're just available at all times, and usable in deck builder.

With the first batch of account transfers being processed, and the grayscale system being implemented, players need to be able to see their card and cosmetics collections. We have enabled the Inventory, though please be aware the UI here is very much a work in progress as we have a UI overhaul happening in the background.

[h3]Vanity Improvements[/h3]
Card Cosmetics have received additional improvements, fixing a number of bugs and having far better integration with the deckbuilder. Also deck saves have received some major upgrades to better handle your chosen cosmetics. Note that your old decks will be converted automatically, but set fully to grayscale. So be sure to re-add your cosmetic choices.

[h2]Minor Features[/h2]
[h3]Deckbuilder Fixes and Optimization[/h3]
The deckbuilder has been expanded to allow you to choose what cosmetics you use for each card added, including if your using grayscale cards or not. Options are also available to change card borders, alternate arts, and foiling. However you must have the associated item in your inventory. Additionally, a new asynchronous deckbuilder loader has been added and integrated with the vanity cosmetics of various cards and the inventory to drastically decrease loading times.

[h3]Animation Fixes[/h3]
Nearly 30 cards have received fixes to their animated spritesheets that meant they didn't loop correctly or jittered. We have an additional dozen or so we are still in the process of fixing for next patch.

[h3]Account Transfer Tool - Working and improving[/h3]
Our first account transfers have been a success so far, with plenty more on the way. Improvements have been made to the account transfer system that were causing some cards to go missing, specifically those gotten via trades. These changes have been applied retroactively to old accounts as well. In additionally, the account transfer summary page has been improved to more accurately show the number of cards transferred.

[h3]Vanity Improvements[/h3]
Card Cosmetics have received additional improvements, fixing a number of bugs and having far better integration with the deckbuilder. Also deck saves have received some major upgrades to better handle your chosen cosmetics. Note that your old decks will be converted automatically, but set fully to grayscale. So be sure to re-add your cosmetic choices.

[h3]Store rotation[/h3]
With us re-enabling the store, we have rotated the Profile pictures available for purchasing.
We plan to begin more regularly rotating our store offerings, so be sure to check back regularly.

[h2]Card Changes[/h2]
[h3]New Intrigue Cards[/h3]

Glimpse The Nightmare
Cost:1 (EX x1)
Ability
Discard your left-most card. If you do, draw a card and that card costs 1 less.

[h2]Content[/h2]

We've had two videos to share recently, being the CTCG Explained video, as well as the Community Update which went live the second before these patch notes did, both of which are worth checking out.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.49.

We have a pretty exciting one, as the first functional version of the long-awaited Account Porting tool is finally here. We've got systems on that allow our Patreon supporters to try it out, and we'll hopefully have any bugs or problems ironed out by the time the game's upcoming Beta is finally here. Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to drop your questions over in Discord, where we're always happy to hear what you're most excited for and want to see us work on next.

[h3]Reminder: Intrigue Sign-up[/h3]
We're nearing our Free to play Beta launch, and joining it is our brand new set release, Intrigue. If you're interested in jumping into the game's Beta the second it's ready, or if you're more concerned with getting some sweet early bird perks, exclusive cards and platinum pre-order cards, sign up today HERE, or head to bit.ly/iwcintrigue to be added to our pre-launch page.



[h2]Major Features[/h2]
[h3]IWC Account Transfer System[/h3]
The long awaited ability to transfer your account data from Infinity Wars 1 to Infinity Wars Classic is now ready!
This will allow players access to their old collections, including cards, profile pictures, titles, cosmetics, battlefields, and more! Note however that some of these will come into effect next week as we enable card collections and our grayscaling plans.
This feature is currently available to all patreon members of the game.
To access this feature, open up the account pane and go to the account transfer tab.
This process will require you to verify the email attached to both accounts, if you are unable to remember old account name or no longer have access to your old email account, we have a backup manual form where you can request access by providing the team with additional details.
A normal account transfer will take about 48 business hours to complete, while a manual transfer may take up to a week as we go through internal verification steps.
We are very excited to finally roll out this feature, if you have any questions or issues please let us know.

[h3]Major External Passive Fixes[/h3]
Extension to the external passive system that handles effects like "All Characters you control get +1/+1" now allows for more flexible and consistent cost reduction and keyword granting effects, especially when used by Artifacts or Locations, which previously behaved different to character cards. This has also fixed a number of very rare desync issues.

[h2]Minor Features[/h2]
[h3]Tooltip improvements[/h3]
Some cards that need to refer to specific keywords but don't have that keyword now will show them on tooltips, also we are able to have more complex tooltips for missions or other cards that need to display additional information.

[h3]More IWC Redesigns[/h3]
Some IWC cards have been modified to be closer to their original functionality. See IWC Redesigns section for details.

[h3]Revamped Deck Importer[/h3]
The ability to import and export decks has been greatly improved, giving better feedback if there are any errors detected, and working now with cosmetics and other elements.
Post your decklists in our discord and share your creations!

[h2]Card Changes[/h2]
[h3]New Intrigue Cards[/h3]

Overlapping Force
Cost:4 (DoDx2)
Ability
Characters you control have their power become equal to their health until end of turn.

[h3]IWC Redesigns[/h3]

Demon of Fear - Text reverted to:
"Flying
When you deploy Demon of Fear, you may pay X. Return X Characters to their controller's Support Zone."
With the addition of multitargetting that works with costs, we have reverted this card in the same way we reverted Nix last patch.

Evellee - Gains an additional activated ability:
"Pay 2, Exhaust: Recruit a Character that costs 1 or less."
With consultation of the community, we have identified that the major use case for Evellee's X cost ability was getting 0 or 1 cost cards, thus allowing us to have the card play closer to its original design despite not supporting non-multi-targetting X costs at this time.

Grave Rob - Reverted Text to:
"Preemptive
Remove up to 5 target cards in an opponent's graveyard."
Another card made possible with the addition of multitargetting. This may prove useful as a sideboard tool if graveyard decks are getting too powerful.

Inevitable Dead - Now can trigger from the Command Zone
A big part of Inevitable Dead's design is the ability to gain additional card advantage turn 1 to help Sleeper's swarm style.
This is once again possible, but requires a command slot to be used.

Aleta, Immortal Traveller - Now drafts an Unlimited Card to your hand
Immortal Traveller no longer requires you to have unlimited cards in your deck, making it closer to the original design, however as we cannot support a choice from every unlimited card, we give options each turn via a draft, similiar to Medi.

[h3]New Cards But Restricted to Devs only for testing:[/h3]
- Saber-Toothed Snail
- Vesta, Firebrand Commander
- Exalted Firebrand

[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]
Scarab Spybug - Gains Flying, Stats reduced to 2/2, Activated Ability costs 1 more but no longer only lasts for a single turn.
We are revisiting some Phase 1 Intrigue cards that have not been playing as well in practice as we'd like.
While the ability to take advantage of the sleeper's ability to deal lots of small amounts of damage via zombie hordes or acid effects is something we liked being rewarded, the timing of having to reactivate the ability each turn made it really hard to use well. Reworking the ability as well as adding the utility of a small flier we hope will make this an interesting option for the

Mountain Giant - Gains +2/+2
Jungle Giant - Gains +2/+2
Tusked Behemoth - Gains +2/+2
The size of high cost "vanilla" cards, especially in Warpath has for a long time been relatively small in Infinity Wars, so while we don't expect these changes to have any impact on competitive play, it helps better set the bar of what size is normal at these costs so we are not restricted in future designs.
Depending on how these play, we may look at other expensive cards to buff this way in the future.



[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed Intervention (IH) causing a game freeze
  
• Fixed Blood Crazed is killed transforming all copies of itself
  
• Fixed Omnimind's Cost reduction
  
• Fixed VFX self node is overriding other targetting filters, leading to some unintended behaviours on some cards
  
• Fixed Nix's text not being updated
  
• Fixed Trickster monkey special effect is not working.
  
• Fixed Daclarius the law special ability is not working
  
• The game froze when my opponant played intervention. I dont know if its a scam method to get me to resign or just a bug. the music still plays and the graphics move but nothing happens.
  
• Fixed Blood-Crazed Initiate Dead Token not correctly gaining bloodthirst
  
• Fixed Enemy AI somtime soft locking the
  
• Fixed Quests and battlepass progress not getting reset correctly when logging in or out
  
• Fixed "Malignant" Not only begin couning characters killed once it is in the grave yard.
  
• Fixed Overcharge storm doesn't cause you to rovercharge if there are no valid targets
  
• Fixed some overcharge cards not working correctly when having no targets

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.48.

Our patch was slightly delayed from last week due to the Steam Servers being on fire for no particular reason.... ahem, Elden Ring... Anyway, our patch has gone out, and we've got a series of fixes and updates for IWC, and IH. Read on to see what we have specifically going on, or join us on Discord where we're always happy to hear what you're most excited for and want to see us work on next.

[h3]Reminder: Intrigue Sign-up[/h3]
We're nearing our Free to play Beta launch, and joining it is our brand new set release, Intrigue.

[h2]Major Features[/h2]

New Tutorial System
A system for making tutorials and other singleplayer content has been implemented. This will allow us to make and edit single player experiences relatively quickly now and in the future.
These systems also include an overhaul of how we handle player rewards, which will be important as we shift to our new future model layed out in the "Future of Infinity Wars Classic" video.
The first test case for many of these systems is a set of tutorials for Infinity Heroes, there are still some minor changes we wish to make to these tutorials to make them a smoother learning experience, but we wanted to showcase them to get your feedback.
You can play these tutorials via the Tutorial button in the top-left of the main menu.
We also have a series of tutorial missions in development for Infinity Wars Classic, however these are not yet ready. As always, stay tuned for more.


[h2]Minor Features[/h2]

Restored IWC Artwork
Early versions of Infinity Wars 1 have not been very well documented, meaning we have had some cards without working spritesheets.
These have now been found and added back into the game, fixing the animations for the following cards:

• Zealous Protector
  
• One of Many
  
• Verore Brute
  
• Vanguard Knight
  
• Aerial Commando
  
• Martyr of Death
  
• Armored Landcrawler
  
• Fight!
  
• The Hellmouth
  
• Guns of Goliath
  
• Kinetically Overloaded Drone
  
• Glorious Warrior
  
• Firebolt
  
• Genesis Construct
  
• Drone
  
• Demon of Fear
  
• Beast of Burden
  
• Bad Bot
  

Improved External Passive system
Extension to the external passive system that handles effects like "All Characters you control get +1/+1" now allows for more flexible and consistent cost reduction and keyword granting effects, especially when used by Artifacts or Locations, which previously behaved different to character cards. This has also fixed a number of very rare desync issues.

Improved stat-tracking
Cards now have a flexible stat tracking system that allows us to better create Effect Nodes. This also allows us to potentially expand it in the future to use stat tracking to inform possible balance issues.

[h2]New IWC Cards[/h2]

Profane Critter Cost:3 Morale:1 (EX x2)
Character - Beast Demon
Whenever this deals combat damage to a character while attacking, excess damage will be dealt to the next defender.
13/4
< Click to reveal Artwork

[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]

Some IWC cards have been modified to be closer to their original functionality.

Shikana, Who Demands Tribute
Changed from random sacrifice to:
"Activate: Sacrifice another Character. At the end of turn, If Shikana didn't sacrifice a creature, Shikana is removed from the game and kills all Characters on the Battlefield."
This design brings Shikana closer to its original design, replacing the start of turn effect that we don't currently support with an activated ability, this is similar to how we redesigned Bomb-Bot.
NOTE: This card's text currently reads as their old version, while they function to the new version. As a result, we're probably going to put them on the ban list to avoid confusion, with a patch fixing them up will be on the way in a minor upcoming patch, or we wait for the next big one.

Champions Herald
Change to bounce back to hand rather than sacrifice

Demon of Dark Bargains
Fixed External Passive to work on the turn you play it
As part of the change to the external passive system, you can now immediately gain value from this card, bringing it closer to its IW1 version.

Omnimind
Fixed External Passive.
As part of the change to the external passive system, you can now immediately gain value from this card, bringing it closer to its IW1 version.

Nix
X cost targetting implemented.
The multitargetting system has been modified to allow costs to be assigned per additional target chosen. Allowing us to make Nix's flexibility return.

Explore
Change to original functionality.
Due to this card being implemented very early on, before Locations and deck searching were even implemented the design got changed, this was overlooked and so now has been reimplimented to its original text.

[h2]Bugfixes[/h2]

• Quests and battlepass progress may not reset when logging out.
  
• Fixed Blood crazed initate When in command blood crazed initate fails to transform when units die.
  
• Fixed IH card dragging breaking if moving cards offscreen when timer runs out
  
• Fixed The Victory Screen never plays the intro to the victory/defeat music, was getting instantly overriden with the loop version
  
• Fixed Overcharge storm not causing you to overcharge if there are no valid targets
  
• Fixed Overcharged Storm causing you to overcharge twice as many cards in hand
  
• Fixed Verore Worshipper sometimes surviving combat due to initiative
  
• Fixed set numbers missing from some Intrigue cards
  
• Fixed Karckk Haste
  
• Fixed new releases deck having banned cards
  
• Fixed Pacifying winds overcharge

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.47.

Following The Future of IWC video's extremely positive response, as well as a lot of detailed feedback from some of our most passionate players, we've been motivated and in very high spirits in the office. So much so, that these patch notes are technically arriving on Steam late, as the patch itself is almost a week old at this point, having been on Discord since the patch's deployment.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Alpha version 0.46.

We started 2022 in a big way with our new video, The Future of IWC (which we do discuss below). And, so far, it's been extremely well received by our players. So first off, thankyou, we're so glad the majority of you are excited by this direction, and your on-going support means the world to us. Following on from that, we've also got some new content for IH, as well as bug fixes for IWC while we continue to work on account porting, which remains our largest road block currently.

[h3]Reminder: Intrigue Sign-up[/h3]
We're nearing our Free to play Beta launch, and joining it is our brand new set release, Intrigue. If you're interested in jumping into the game's Beta the second it's ready, or if you're more concerned with getting some sweet early bird perks, exclusive cards and platinum pre-order cards, sign up today HERE, or head to bit.ly/iwcintrigue to be added to our pre-launch page..



[h2]Major Features[/h2]

The Future of Infinity Wars Classic
At the start of 2022, we announced something we had been working on behind the scenes for quite some time, and that is the future of Infinity Wars Classic. We’re pushing forward with the “CTCG” (Complete Trading Card Game) model, where we’re giving people access to ALL Infinity Wars cards instantly, without paying a cent. This will make the game easier to get into than ever!

For a full breakdown, check our deep dive video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQdLfnTzJzs

Two New Infinity Heroes
Two new pre-made Infinity Heroes decks have been added to the roster.
Cathleen, a powerful aggressive value-driven character, who has a flexible array of tools for beast and men alike.
Vis, the only important point of health is your last, damage yourself and your opponent and live life on the edge.

[h2]Minor Features[/h2]

IWC Porting Framework
We are working hard to lay the foundations of account transfers to IWC from the original game. This included moving every single vanity item, card, and alternate art. Some of these can be already found in the deckbuilder, and profile pages, available to everyone until the systems are complete.

Tutorial Framework
While not quite yet ready, we are working on a series of single player missions for both IH and IWC to help players join the game, and learn the rules. This will also act as the foundation for any future single player campaigns we add.
More on this soon.

Drason, Armory Keeper Cost:7 Morale:8 (GENx1)
Unique Character - Human
When Drason enters the Deployed Area, create an Upgrade in your hand.
