Hello Glassbreakers!

We have made the following changes:


[h2]Lobby Tutorial[/h2]
We’ve added some tutorial features to help new players navigate around the Attic. Let us know what you think in the Glassbreakers Discord!

• We have resolved an issue for the Daily Quest Countdown timer displaying the wrong time depending on when and where you complete a quest.
  
• We have resolved an issue where the Daily Quest for breaking Glass only credits for two when breaking all three in an AI match.
  
• (Steam) We have resolved an issue impacting in-app purchasing.
  
• We have resolved an issue impacting Champion stats not appearing correct at the end of matches.
  

Hello Glassbreakers!

We have made the following changes:


[h2]Champions[/h2]
[h3]Gwendoline[/h3]
While Gwendoline has great survivability on her own, we're not seeing her ability have as much of an impact as we hoped it would. We're increasing both her starting redirection amount and the amount she redirects at max level. Our hope is this gives her team a bit more lasting power in team fights.

• Significantly increased the amount of damage redirected from allies while King's Protection is active.
  

[h3]Barnard[/h3]
Last balance patch we increased Barnard's starting health to give him better survivability in the early game. We knew we needed to do more to make him feel like he can compete with Brel but needed more time to find the right change. In the end we found that both Radiant Blast and Barnard's attack needed a bit of love. Our hope is that these increases in damage will help Barnard compete with Brel for a spot when you are composing your squad.

• Slightly increased starting attack damage.
  
• Slightly increased attack damage gained per level.
  
• Increased Radiant Blast's starting damage and damage gained per level.
  

• Players should no longer have the wrong name highlighted on the Leaderboard if you have a tied score.
  
• Steam players should no longer be offset.

[h2]Leaderboards Are Here[/h2]
Player Ranks are on the way, but in the mean time we are bringing leaderboards to Glassbreakers! You can now see how you stack up against other players. To access the Leaderboard, open the System Menu while in the Attic.


[h2]Smarter AI[/h2]
In this update, Skynet is taking over! One of the most requested features is more engaging matches with our AI. While we still have a lot of work to do, our first improvements are going into this update. The AI will now have profiles: for newer players, the starting AI will not get harder, while for more advanced players, the AI should no longer allow you to simply walk right into their base and get their Glass. Along with this change, we have reduced the time it takes for idle Champions to attack nearby enemy targets. Overall we have found this makes the game feel smoother in several areas.
[h2]Quests[/h2]
In their current state, quests can feel a little confusing. We wanted to have a concept for “normal” and “hard” quests but this is not coming across as well as we hoped. For now, we are going to pare down the quests to provide more consistency. Look for more, exciting quests being implemented in the future!

• Fixed an issue where Default Dye was not being applied properly in the Lobby.
