    This build fixes some important account/registration issues, such as pointing to the game client via http instead of https (which fixes this issue).

    There are also some battle UI tweaks including more animations being controllable by the animation speed slider and the ability to cancel half-played cards by clicking another card (instead of pressing the cancel button).

    Optimisation
    • Dev console memory use optimisation - using less memory when not open. Hopefully fixing cycle-the-console-to-regain-memory.
    Story
    • Added GM dialogue to Throne of Strench and Stafford's Treasure;
    • Fixed typos and corrections from the forum;
    • Changed Hand of Melvelous and White Star Diamond to Rare.
    • Minor typo change to Slub Gut briefing.
    Boards
    • fixed terrain in Wizard's Workshop board 3
    • Fixed facings in White Star battle 1
    Cards
    • Fixed capitalization on Talented Healer Phrase builder tag
    • Fixed typo on Help the Weak
    • Fixed broken gender tags in card play text (still requires code fix)
    Accounts
    • Use local logo.png instead of the one from www.cardhunter.com to prevent SSL warnings about mixed content.
    • Fix bad registration/forgot password links inside the game client.
    • Clarified user warning in case of verifying when registration attempt has expired.
    • Point game to http instead of https as cloudfront SSL cert causes problems otherwise.
    Pizza
    • Promotion award doesn't fail if user isn't online.
    Audio
    • Added audio for plus button, paypal button and radio boxes.
    • Added club menu display audio.
    • Added club purchase audio.
    • Made die roll bonus and penalty dynamic audio.
    • updated get xp sound, boosted volume for club join sound
    • Replaced Penalty sound
    Battle UI
    • Player can click on another card to cancel current action and swap to new card while choosing targets.
    • Changed a whole bunch of tweens to be affected by animation speed settings.
    Hints
    • Added some game play hints.
    Monsters
    • Added audio tag to Ornithopters.
    Internal stuf

    All awesome stuff but what does this mean?

    One person missed out on his promotional figure because he wasn't online when his pizza arrived. That should be fixed now.

    Can you use another card to cancel a move card now? (Using the click on a different card method.)
    It always seemed weird that I could cancel an attack card but not a move card.

    Nope, just tested it.

    I found that a item that worth 400 gold now cost 100, is that right? because nothing is about items price in the patch

    Which item was it Raising?

    I presume you are talking about items IN the store, not items you're selling TO the store. In that case, the difference is likely that you leveled-up: if you try to buy things that are beyond your level, prices get multiplied by the level difference. Like so.

    Also, having played more recently since the audio change, I can say I'm less bothered by the loot noises. They are no longer pitch-shifted compression errors. Instead they are classic mystery movie noises. (Or, you know, those sound effects in Resident Evil and other games that emulate the classic mystery movie era.) This is an improvement, though still a little unexpected.

    Well, when they replace all game sounds with guitar and castanets, it will be hard to miss.

    I just beat Melvelous and when Hand Of Melvelous dropped it was still an Epic item. The Club reward was likewise Epic. Might want to take a second pass at that?

    While I'm on the topic... you removed a map from the Melvelous adventure? Aww... :(

    The Hand of Melvelous used to be legendary, hence forcing a legendary club drop. I think Epic's acceptable.

    Really? It's always had three to my knowledge. Are you seeing something else Zoorland?

    I distinctly remember a map with primarily imps that isn't there anymore. Now there's just the single imp on the last map. Before, didn't it go orcs -> imps -> whatever you call the mimics -> final map? That's what I remember from when it was first released before the reset. :/

    the item is Focused_Healer but the leveling up makes sense
