    Another new build! The big new features in this are a better introduction to multiplayer including a free starter pack when you play through the tutorial. In addition, we've bumped up the rewards for playing ranked games.

    There are a bunch of bug fixes, we're trying to correct a lot of the hangs while in battles. In particular, bugs to do with Festering Guts, Mindless Battlerage and Memory Loss should be fixed now. Also, the crash when targeting two targets on opposite sides should be corrected. Please keep reporting any more of these you see so we can flush them all out.

    As always, there's a whole bunch of new items and a few new cards as well. Enjoy!

    It might be a problem that will get smaller and smaller as more people join but i really think Gary should have a cap in the 15 minute area as i have ques that are just horrible. Since i can't do anything at all while waiting it makes it even worse if i could at least tinker with my pvp builds or anything like that it would be acceptable but as it is currently its eating my enjoyment.

    OK, I'll add a safety check to remove Gary's MP nagging after you visit the lobby. Not sure how you got into this state.

    You might not see the tutorial unless you are starting the game afresh.

    If at all helpful, I'm currently in the same state; I don't see a tutorial option either. Thanks.

    Jon Blue Manchu Staff Member

    There won't be an option. If you start the game fresh, the MP tutorial should kick in at the time the Compass of Xorr adventure is revealed.

    I hope for campaign co op :D
     
  13. Kodi, that would be awesome. It would be as close to tabletop gaming online as we could get without just opening a chat room.
