Patch Notes – January 31, 2023

PLEASE NOTE: If you haven’t updated your game yet, get the latest in the app store!

 

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

  • NEW FEATURE: Friendly Battles! You can now play against friends via an in-game code. Tap the new “Game Modes” icon on the navigation bar and then tap “Friendly Battle” to get started!

 

GENERAL UPDATES

  • You can now change your name within the Avatar menu once every 30 days.
  • Zabu has been added to Series 5 in the Token Shop.
  • Updated Player Support conversations now have a red dot notification to let you know a response is waiting.

 

AUDIO

  • A Voice Over Volume slider has been added to the settings menu.

 

ART & VISUAL EFFECTS

  • Added new effects for Ghost Rider when there’s no card to play.

 

BALANCE UPDATES

CARD UPDATES

  • Leader: [6/7] On Reveal: Copy all cards your opponent played to the location to the right, but on your side.
  • Dev Note: Leader is a prominent “finisher” in the current Snap meta, and we’re not happy with some of the card choices and play patterns he encourages, especially his strength against other cool 6-cost cards. We’re changing Leader to only copy cards played at the location to his right, with more base Power to compensate. We hope that this change will reward clever predictions and reduce the frustration of playing against him.
  • Wolverine: [2/2] When this is discarded or destroyed, regenerate it at a random location with +2 Power.
  • Dev Note: Wolverine sees virtually no play at the moment, which is a bummer given how iconic he is. We’re giving him a substantial buff to reward players for activating his effect and create new deckbuilding options at both low and high collection levels.
  • Note: We have updated his text from “play” to “regenerate” to better reflect his gameplay functionality. This is purely a flavor and clarity choice.
  • Text-Only Updates:
  • In addition to Wolverine, a few cards use the word “play” in their text but don’t actually play anything. This small update aims to avoid players misinterpreting how these cards interact with triggers that specify playing a card:
    • Hela
    • Jubilee
  • Sentry: Using more consistent language for similar effects.

LOCATION UPDATES

  • Text-Only Updates to:
  • The Raft: Removing the word “draw” for accuracy.
  • Vibranium Mines: Removing “a card” for brevity.

  • Taking no action at the end of a Friendly Battle and expiring the timer can cause the game to freeze.
  • Sometimes there’s overlapping/duplicate text on the End Turn button in a Friendly Battle.
  • The prompt for inputting an incorrect code for Friendly Battle is not descriptive enough.

  • Two players snapping on the same turn in a Friendly Battle can cause the health bar colors to show incorrectly.
  • Chibi Spider-Man from the Line In the Sand bundle doesn’t animate enough at higher rarities.

  • Disconnecting from a Friendly Battle and connecting to a new game with a new code puts you in the previous Battle.

Battle Mode 1.0 is coming soon!

MARVEL SNAP will release version 1.0 of its brand-new competitive mode in just a few weeks. As we put the final touches on this beta feature, here’s deeper insight from Associate Design Director at Second Dinner, Kent-Erik Hagman.   

 

Introducing Battle Mode

When designing MARVEL SNAP, it was absolutely critical to us to make the most fun, accessible card battler ever. We wanted a card battler anyone could get into so that more people than ever before could experience just how fun card games are! But that was just the beginning.  We also wanted an ultra-competitive way to play against friends. Something that takes the gameplay, bluffing, and mind games to the next level.

Enter our newest game mode: Battle Mode. It’s the most fun, competitive way to play MARVEL SNAP.

 

Great, but what is Battle Mode?

Battle Mode pits two opponents against each other through multiple rounds. Each player starts with 10 health. Instead of Cubes, what’s at stake is the amount of damage the winner will deal to the loser. If you can deplete your opponent’s health to zero, you win!

In Battle Mode, the stakes become front and center. Every SNAP and Retreat takes extra meaning, as every point of health is critical to remaining alive.

Further, each player’s deck is locked for the duration of the Battle. This means you’ll quickly learn what cards are in their deck, and your opponent might be aware of what sneaky tricks you’re hiding.  Keeping track of what cards in your deck haven’t been seen by your opponent can make all the difference in whether you can squeeze out an extra SNAP.

It’s turn 3, Bar Sinister just appeared. Your opponent SNAPs… you know they’re playing Green Goblin since you saw it last round. If you stick around another turn, you’ll lose 2 health! But if you retreat now, you’ll only lose 1! But you have Nightcrawler in hand, which your opponent has NOT seen yet, and your cards flip first…so you SNAP back and hope your opponent takes the bait!

 

Design Philosophy

When coming up with a more competitive, head-to-head format for MARVEL SNAP, it was critical to us that we kept the ability to bluff and tactically retreat. If anything, it was important we bring those elements to the forefront.

We also knew that over a series of games, the mind games of learning and anticipating what was in your opponent’s deck and their specific playstyle was something that would add a ton of fun. There’s pure joy in knowing what your opponent wants to do and trying to guess if they’ll do it or if they’ll feint in another direction.

Finally, it was really important to have a mode where it was clear who the winner and loser was. In a normal match, there’s a lot of wiggle room for just how many Cubes you win or lose by, and we wanted a definitive winner. There are no ties in Battle Mode!  Aside from proving who is best among your friends, this will unlock the ability for the community to run MARVEL SNAP tournaments!

 

Mistakes Along the Way

While developing Battle Mode, we tried some things that ended up not quite working. We tried a bunch of different Health values. We tried a mode where the Reality Stone transformed cards in your hand before each game. Developing in Unity, it was super easy to jump in and try out wild new ideas.

Early on, we saw players playing no cards in games 1 and 2 to scout their opponent’s decks, paying a couple of Health to gain critical information. Back then, Heath Pools were much larger so a couple Health meant very little, and as we lowered total Health, those first couple games could make all the difference

Battle Mode takes about 20 minutes, but in early playtests between two players who retreat back and forth for a series of 1 Health games, it took much longer.  To keep Battles around 20 minutes, we added “High Stakes Rounds” which kick in starting on Round 5.  High Stakes Rounds start with the stakes at 2 Damage, so it’s much more deadly.

Another thing we learned was that if players took some early beats and were 1 game away from running out of Health, they could SNAP with impunity since it doesn’t matter if they end up at zero or negative 6; death is death. We wanted to reward players for early victories, so now, you cannot deal more damage than you have Health remaining. It means that coming from behind is possible, but those early victories don’t become irrelevant. And the “bluffing” aspect of the Snap remains intact as your opponent cannot risk health they do not have.

 

Wrapping It Up

We’re very excited to get Battle Mode out to everyone as soon as we can. This has truly been a labor of love, and we can’t wait to see how players enjoy this first cut of Battle Mode!!

 

Get Ready For The Drop

 

It’s been a couple months since we introduced Series 4 and Series 5 cards, and we’re excited about our first-ever Series Drop! With every Series Drop, some Series 5 cards will move to Series 4, and some Series 4 cards will move to Series 3.

Series 5 cards that will move to Series 4:

  • Valkyrie
  • Super-Skrull
  • Bast
  • Shuri
  • Black Panther

Series 4 cards that will move to Series 3:

  • Luke Cage
  • Absorbing Man
  • She-Hulk
  • Titania

 

When cards drop Series, they become 10x more common in Collector’s Reserves, and much cheaper in the Token Shop.

We look forward to doing a Series Drop every month!  Series Drops currently require a patch, so the exact date and time may vary.  The patch with this Series Drop (and the ability to Battle friends!) is currently planned for January 31st, though if we run into last minute issues we may choose to delay for a little longer to make sure things work correctly.

When choosing which cards to drop, we will often start with some of the ones that have been in that Series the longest.  That is, except for…

 

The Big Bads

All cards will eventually become easy to obtain through enough Series Drops. However, there are currently two cards that we do not plan to drop down a series: Our favorite 6-Cost supervillains, Thanos and Galactus. They’re just too dang epic.

 

Introducing “First Edition”

We’re excited to announce a new feature that we’re working on: First Edition Badges!  If you acquire a Series 5 card before it moves down a Series, that card will show a “First Edition Badge” when you inspect it. It’s a way to show that you got the card when it was brand new.  This feature will take us some time to build, but our goals are to retroactively apply First Edition Badges to cards earned before the feature comes online AND to show the Badge on all variants and Infinity Splits of the card!

 

Token Shop Improvements

The Token Shop has been live for a little while and we’ve had some time to experience what we like and don’t like about it.  We love how it allows players to make progress towards the cards they want most.  We don’t love that the hottest, newest cards don’t feel very accessible to players who haven’t completed Series 3.  Once players complete Series 3, they start earning 500% more Tokens on the Collection Track, but before then, Series 4 and 5 can feel out of reach.  We are starting to experiment with changes we could make to let players who are still progressing through Series 3 feel quicker progress towards the new hotness.  It’s going to take us a little time to make these changes, but our goal is to make the experience of earning Series 4 and 5 feel much better for folks who haven’t completed Series 3.

With so many new cards dropping to Series 3 and 4 and more dropping every month, things are about to get spicy!  We can’t wait to see what wild new decks everyone will build!

Patch Notes – January 10, 2023

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you haven’t updated your game yet, get the latest in the app store!

 

Patch Highlights

  • NEW FEATURE: Artist Credits! You can now tap the Variant Label above the card in your collection to see information about who the illustrators are!

 

General Updates

  • The collection view automatically filters to your favorite variants when editing a deck.
  • When cards trigger each other in a loop that lasts too long, the game will now “fast forward” to the end of the loop. We’re looking at you, Wong-Onslaught-Mystique-Ironheart!
  • Orka’s issue has been fixed, and the card is now in Series 4.
  • Russian language support
  • For new players who want to jump right in, we’re releasing a one-time purchase, ‘Pro Bundle’ with 12,500 Credits and enough boosters to upgrade 8 cards from common to Infinity.
  • Reserves now reward different amounts of Collectors Tokens once you collect all Series 3 Cards. The individual amounts vary from 200-600 instead of only 400. However, the token earning rate remains the same.

 

Audio

  • New Location Sounds: Asgard and Daily Bugle
  • New Card Sounds: Aero and Polaris

 

Art & Visual Effects

  • New Visual Effects for Aero and Polaris

 

Balance Updates

CARD UPDATES

  • Aero 5/8 -> 5/7

Developer Comment: Aero’s effect can be a very powerful disruption and control tool. While previously, we buffed Aero up to her current statline, players have since learned to utilize her to great effect, so we think it’s appropriate to reduce her Power a bit.

  • Galactus 6/3 -> 6/2

Developer Comment: Even at the highest ranks of play, Galactus and decks using him are demonstrating concerningly high cube-gain and win rates. Not all of these decks overtly herald his approach, and the range of cards that can complement him has proven wide and difficult for some decks to counter. We’re taking one Power away from Galactus now and evaluating whether or not we should make more meaningful changes to his design in the future.

  • Leader 6/4 -> 6/3

Developer Comment: Leader’s effect is proving to be very frustrating to many players and polarizing in its ability to lock down games and discourage playing some other 6-Cost cards. We are taking a bit of power away from him for now and exploring further changes to the card in the future.

  • Nova 1/2 -> 1/1

Developer Comment: Nova’s effect makes him much stronger than an average 1-Cost card, so we don’t think it’s appropriate that he has the stats of an average 1-Cost card.

  • Drax 4/4 On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +4 Power. -> 4/5 On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +3 Power.
  • Groot 3/3 On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +3 Power. -> 3/4 On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +2 Power.

Developer Comment: We believe the Guardians’ effects create fun moments, but they can feel too sink or swim. We’re giving Drax and Groot a small buff to their baselines to make them less risky to play and hopefully open them up as more viable contenders in the 3 and 4-Cost slots.

  • Hazmat 2/1 -> 2/2

Developer Comment: While we are aware of the Hazmat combo decks that may feel strong, Hazmat is actually doing fairly poorly overall. We’re giving the decks she enables a small buff with this update.

  • Black Cat 3/6 -> 3/7

Developer Comment: Black Cat sees virtually no play, so we’re giving her an extra Power to make running her more worthwhile.

  • Nakia 3/1 -> 3/2

Developer Comment: We think Nakia’s effect is a fun mechanic to play with, but she’s currently seeing very little success. We’re hoping a small buff will make her a more appealing option.

  • Oscorp Tower will no longer swap card sides if Professor X is there
  • Raft and Vibranium Mines text-only updates

  • Lockjaw doesn’t always interact with Leader properly.
  • Vault doesn’t let Multiple Man back in if he moves from the location on turn 6.
  • Arnim Zola’s copied cards can be added to locations locked by Professor X.
  • Switching into TVA on turn 4 or away from Limbo on turn 6 causes the wrong text for “Next Turn” cubes won/lost.

  • Several text elements are too small in Thai.

Goodbye 2022, Hello 2023!

It’s hard to believe that we launched MARVEL SNAP globally just a little under two months ago! And since then, thanks to YOU, we’ve won multiple awards, including Best Mobile Game at the Game Awards, and released a fun animated cinematic ‘HERO’ with some of our favorite musicians.

We’ve always said that Global Launch is the beginning of our journey together, and we weren’t kidding. Your feedback (in places like our discord community) impacts what we prioritize, focus on, or change. We’re excited about what the future holds; let’s talk a bit about that future.

Let’s jump in, shall we?

Coming Soon

Items listed here are in the final phase of development, and these features are almost ready to release to players! We’re cleaning up, polishing art, and squashing bugs. Our Quality Assurance teams scrape over all the little details to ensure we have as smooth an experience for players as possible. Once features are “Coming Soon,” we can start to plan release dates, timelines and share some insight with players.

The team is hard at work putting the finishing touches on a few much-anticipated features:

  • Battle Mode vs Friends
  • Name Change
  • Artist Credits
  • Russian and Vietnamese Language Support
  • Infinity Split Mod Details

What’s Battle Mode vs Friends?

Battle Mode is a new way to play MARVEL SNAP. In Battle Mode, each player starts with 10 health, and the winning player deals damage to their opponent equal to the stakes of the game. If you doubled down and SNAPPED, you’ll do 4 damage to your opponent instead of 2 – or retreat early and only lose 1 health! Players will play a series of games against each other with their same deck until one player has no health left.

The way it works is simple. You either CREATE a match or JOIN a match. The player that creates a match gets a code they’ll need to share with their friend.

We’re aiming to release this in the next month or two and hope you’re as excited as we are to play vs your friends or organize fun community competitions!

What’s Name Change?

You’ll finally be able to correct that poor decision you made when choosing a username. Looking at you PineappleOnPizzaStinks. I mean, really? Who HATES Pineapple on Pizza??? Not I, that’s for sure.

What are Artist Credits and Infinity Split Mod Details?

When you’re looking at a card in its detailed view, you’ll be able to tap the nameplate at the top to see Artist Credits and what Infinity Split Mods are on that card.

Russian and Vietnamese Language Support

We’re adding these two languages to the list you can select.

 

In Development

Game features in this section are actively being developed, iterated, and improved upon. Our production team dedicates team resources, generates tasks/timelines, and ensures we’re moving forward. Features and systems in this bucket can change dramatically – we might find our initial idea wasn’t fun OR we might discover we can achieve our goals in an unexpected way!

In Development

  • PC Widescreen UI
  • Smart Decks
  • Unranked Mode
  • New Competitive Modes

What are Smart Decks?

Creating a new deck can be so much fun. Sometimes you might know precisely what 12 cards you want to play; other times, a few cards work together, but you’re unsure what to add. That’s where smart decks come in. Maybe you’re unsure how to finish that ‘move deck’ you’ve wanted to play. No problem. You’ll be able to finish your new deck with the tap of a button. More details to come as we get closer to releasing this feature.

What’s Unranked Mode?

In Unranked Mode, players face off against other players without the risk of losing Ranks or Cubes while still making progress on their Missions. This is the perfect place to test new decks and strategies.

What’s Competitive Mode?

We’re looking to use Battle Mode in fun new ways. More details will come in the future as we make progress on this.

 

In Concept

We have BIG dreams about what we’d like to bring to the future of MARVEL SNAP! The first step towards these dreams is turning ideas into concepts through discussion, documentation, and planning. Features currently in the “In Concept” phase have been initially scoped out and given shape but have not yet had any engineering or development work done in the game itself.

This is where we’d love your feedback the most! Concepts listed in this section may be elevated in priority, rescoped, or scrapped entirely… or we might hear something completely new from the community!

Here are some of the future concepts we’re thinking about for MARVEL SNAP:

  • Guilds (Social Systems)
  • Infinity Rank Leaderboard
  • Collectible Emotes & Card Emojis
  • Mythic Variants
  • Booster Magnets
  • Avatars & Titles by Deck
  • PC Controller Support
  • Season Cache Improvements
  • In-Game Events

Let us know what you think, and please continue to share your ideas for the future of MARVEL SNAP! Thank you again for your feedback and for making 2022 truly Legendary!

BRAND NEW LOCATIONS

It wouldn’t be a new month without new locations from the MARVEL multiverse. The Power Cosmic introduces some truly extraterrestrial locations that will be sure to shake up your matches.

  • Lamentis-1: Draw 3 cards. Destroy both decks.
  • Klyntar: After turn 4, merge your cards here into a Symbiote.
  • Vormir: The first card you play here is destroyed.
  • Morag: You can’t play your first card here each turn.

 

 

BRAND NEW VARIANTS

From Knullified, Winter-themed, to Cosmic-inspired — December brings 20+ new variants to the game! Choose your favorites and flex your style.

 

 

WHEW! That’s a lot of new content — and there’s even more! Keep an eye out on social media for more details about a special project and a Winter-themed celebration later this month!

Compensation Details – December 2, 2022

We recently resolved an ongoing issue with Collector’s Caches & Collector’s Reserves that resulted in some players receiving incorrect or missing rewards. Thank you for your patience while we worked through this problem!

 

To apologize for any inconvenience, we are sending the following compensation:

  • ALL players will receive 200 Gold via the Inbox. This is available to collect for the next two weeks.
  • Impacted players (those who didn’t receive rewards or received boosters in new Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserves earned since the patch) will be able to re-open caches/reserves which were incorrectly filled.

 

We know this was a frustrating issue on the heels of a new patch, and we’re thankful for your support and patience. Cheers, and best of luck with your games!
