Update 0.79 is Now Live!

 

It's that time again - update time!  0.79 brings a huge laundry list of goodies to the table for everyone to sink their teeth into.  What changes?  Let's not waste any time, and dive right in!

 Features

  • We’ve changed the way we rate your progress. Your existing ELO value is still used for matchmaking, but each player has a separate rating which is displayed in-game. The new rating starts at 0 and builds up to your ELO value as you play ranked games. We haven’t reset anyone’s existing ELO value. It sounds confusing, but you don’t need to worry about it – that’s Jakob’s job. =).
  • To compliment the ranking system, we’ve improved the way we search for opponents. Ranked and Quick matches will now try to match you with a similarly skilled opponent before expanding the search range over time.
  • Gold rewards have been revamped. The bonus pool has been eliminated, rewards have been tweaked, and you get extra gold for destroying idols.
  • We’ve added a new splash screen! Rejoice!

 

Scrolls

  • Blind Rage (Energy) has been added. Target creature deals damage equal to its countdown to adjacent units. Its countdown is then increased by 1. It costs 4 Energy..
  • God Hand (Growth) now gives +2 attack instead of +3.
  • Quake (Growth) now deals 3 damage to structures and 2 damage to creatures. Cost has been reduced to 6.
  • Eternal Statue’s (Growth) health has been reduced to 4.
  • Kinfolk Veteran’s (Growth) health has been reduced to 4.
  • Proximity charge now summons a copy of itself on a random adjacent tile when it comes into play. It now costs 4.
  • Inferno Blast (Energy) has been changed from rarity 1 to rarity 0 (common).

 

Miscellaneous

  • The popup system has been reworked. Popups now scale properly with resolution. We’ve also improved the way some of them work.

 

Bug Fixes

  • Fertile Soil now works as intended (it can only target creatures).

 

Known issues

  • It’s not possible to login when Avast (anti-virus software) is running with the current version. Sorry Avast users! To get around this problem you can add Scrolls to Avast’s excluded processes list. Here’s how to do it: open the Avast interface, click Real-Time Shields, then click Web Shield. Open Expert Settings followed by Exclusions. Under Processes to Exclude, click Add, then find your Scrolls.exe. Select it and click OK.
