Dev Diary: Spring into Summer 2021

Greetings Summoners,

After what feels like an Age of Ultron since we last sat down for a homely fireside chat about The Contest. In that time, the team has been busy delivering on the majority of the awesome things we announced last year. From new Act content, a succession of Back Issues, Alliance tools, node improvements, undo button, a bonanza of Champion Updates, selling from stash, a raft of Incursions updates, and so much more in between.

We didn’t deliver on everything though (Summer of Pain, *cough* *cough*). Development priorities change, YOUR priorities change, and we evolve with The Contest as it grows. However, some things haven’t changed, and we’re still hard at work on some of the awesome things we announced last time, many of which are that much closer to being in your hands.

Last time out, we waxed lyrical about our vision and goals, this time, we’re getting straight to the meat. So without further ado, let’s dive into the first Dev Diary of 2021!

Read all about it here!

Really excited to see the arena revamp. So many promises makes me both excited and nervous at the same time.

Summer of Pain will start early June

H3t3r

I'm honestly super excited about the genesis part. Revamping the ui and such. As well mastery changes. Yes!!

StevieManWonder

Looks dope! Very happy to the amount of units went up and the amount of arenas went down! I love the mastery changes, but I didn’t see anything about removing the unit cost of respeccing them, is that finally gonna be a thing or no?

Qacob

6 star arenas!!

Hoitado

Now we know how long “Soon” is

The_Sentry06

Really excited but I just hope that my device still supports mcoc after "Project Genessis" lol.

Raganator

Wow. Just wow. Most of it looks great. Some makes me skeptical. But overall - excited.

IKON

I have some major concerns about Relics, but everything else seems very nice.

The_Sentry06

EXCITED FOR DRAFT BATTLES!

Need more info on Relics as this sounds like another way to milk the whales and screw over anyone not willing to spend

MBogusz

No to relics. Just no

Seems like you’re writing yourself a story there

SwarmOfRavens

My unit stash is in shambles looking at what's dropping.
Looks like I can't avoid arena hell any longer

Rasilover

Are 5 star basic champions finally coming?

BuffBeast

LETS GOOOOO MASTERY LOADOUTS

Kabam Miike

5-Star AND 6-Star Basic Arena.

TrashyPanda

A lot of nice potential developments, and a few scary ones.

SwarmOfRavens

Also, I beg to whoever designed grandmaster gauntlet.
Do Not include hit count cap/damage caps, if you want us to test our r3s don't put a damper on it

nameplas

Really like the mastery loadouts, everything sounds great if delivered well

Colinwhitworth69
