    Things to test in this build:
    • Closing your client should cause a battle loss and no longer is a way to cheat around the limited number of losses per adventure or quest.
    • Dev cheats should no longer show up in your console.
    • Buying chests from the new style chest store.
    • All the new items (boots and arcane items, if you can find them).
    • Adventures using the tree monsters.
    • Unlocking all Treasure Hunts at once using pizza.
    • Various card fixes.
    One thing we've noted is that the new client builds can take a minute or so to get pushed out via Amazon's content delivery network. What this means is that you might get a client version error if you try to login immediately after the new build goes out. If this happens, just wait a minute and try again.

    May I make a small suggestion for future changelogs?

    Split the huge patch into cards, items, UI, adventure, MP etc sections. It would really help readability, thanks ! :)

    Having problems here.. just got the key and when i try to register on the client is says it "Incorrect Client version, please reload". I've updated the flash player and reloaded a few dozen times.

    *EDIT*

    Also this message at random:
    Connection failed. The server or your internet connection may be down. Please refresh the page and try to login again.

    I checked my connection and it's working as intended

    *AND ANOTHER EDIT*
    Seems that when i fill in the fields in the registration part and click Register, I get the incorrect client message, then if the fields stay filled and I click Register again it gives me the incorrect client message and immediately afterwards tells me that the connection may be down.

    *AND ANOTHER :O*
    Tried it on Chrome, Firefox and IE. Same messages across the board. No firewalls are active.

    I am excited to get home and play today. :D

    PS How much is a raft of boots? Is that like... as many boots as one can fit on a raft?

    Nice boot items art, I found some on the market.

    I love the Frenzy Aura art!
    But I liked more the previous art of telekinesis.

    Wozarg Thaumaturge

    Buying all remaining as i already had a few worked perfectly

    also big fan of all the new art especially the all out attack the new art is so fitting

    Not sure if this is even a bug but it seams to do no harm. When you buy a chest and then leave the chest will change name from the specific chest to just chest once you get back.

    I just wish there were more boots.

    I think this update went waaaaay too light on the boots....

    i will pile my 100 different boots on top of you and burn you with them!

    Well done Roshirai! I can't wait to get my BOOTs on. Er...you know what I mean.

    Can't really do much more "unlocking" testing as I purchased all premium adventures already, but I like the looks of the new treasure chest setup (with the premium chest lurking there). I'll try it out once I'm done with my current adventuring.

    Shunted new boots/arcane items on to the wiki (provided they're less than level 20). So many boots!
