• BUGFIX: Under certain situations would allow heroes to advance stats one level past their maximum. All Heroes that had benefited from this bug have been returned to their correct stats and it is no longer possible to go past the limit.
• An “Explain” button has been added when zoomed in on a card that shows what all the fields on the card mean.

• BUGFIX: It was possible for a rare glitch to lock up Locations so that all messages about that location were not correctly being delivered. There is now a work around in place to correct the glitch if it happens.
• BUGFIX: After registering a new player if you have an old logon with saved password ticked then it tried to use the saved old password not the new one to log in
• BUGFIX: If zooming on on a card in certain situations the card would keep moving relative to the pages so the card ends up in the wrong position. That no longer happens.
• The server now has a proper shutdown sequence with people logging in being warned of the pending shutdown. The server also starts up in a “closed” mode to allow startup to complete and tests to be run before it is opened to players.
• The buttons under a zoomed-in card have been changed to be much more obviously buttons.
• When using the deck builder if you add an equipment card to the deck but no Actions that it can be used with then a warning is now displayed when you save the deck.
• More titles have been added for the champions in the Colloseum, additionally Bosses and Pickpockets each have their own set of titles distinct from those used for the other underworld NPCs.

The new features and changes are designed to make it easy for players to find fun things to do quickly once they enter the game.

• BUGFIX: If the list of turns had scrolled in a match then it was still scrolled in the next match even though the number of turns had reset. It is now reset correctly.
• BUGFIX: When opening a package the last possible portrait choice was not being shown.
• BUGFIX: The warning about minimising heroes no longer appears when opening the deck builder.
• BUGFIX: One of the possible Fighter portraits was not being shown when selecting the Portraits for your Hero.
• Changed the what-counters-what reminder panel to use blue rather than red so that the button seems more scary. Also added some white to the writing to make it easier to read.
• The New Player Experience has been extensively revamped, with the tutorial matches trimmed and new Catacombs sections added.
• A new district has been added, you can now venture into the Kobold-Infested Catacombs beneath Osburg.
• The first and fourth tutorial opponents no longer block the way forward.
• The Hero and Package stacks on the Player Screen have had their positions swapped so that they stacks correspond with the location of the unstacked cards.
• Changed the message by the first Catacombs to encourage people to enter it.
• The download button for the mac version on the downloads page has been replaced with "Mac version coming soon"
• The defences bar now goes red if you completely empty your deck of defences.
• On the player screen the list of heroes/packages now automatically stacks and unstacks as you enter and leave the deck builder.
