Update Log
+ V. 1.3.8 - What's New in Highgrounds
Text: Big update this week! We've revamped and streamlined the game interface around a new location, the base camp, added four new units, and a new "skill rating" leader-board, balance changes, and lots more! See the forums for more detail.
Update: Added Four new units, added base camp, added avatar change (from Groff to Tydus
Bugs: You go super fast when moving around base camp.
Other: You always challenge yourself in the original challenge line.
From the Forum:
- UI refresh. Will hopefully feel cleaner to everybody. Key feature is a new ‘basecamp’ that proposes untimed matches for you to start as well as shows your existing matches.
- New “skill rating” system in place. Formula: skill rating = weeklyBountyTotal * (PvPwins / PvPwins&losses). Note that weeklyBountyTotal excludes bounty gained via single player matches. We’re going to try this out for a week or two and then tweak the formula as needed.

- Skillrank is used to determine the potential matches that the basecamp promotes.
- We have a new skillrank leaderboard. Once we’re happy with the formula, we may start awarding additional rewards to top skillrank players. * We may also eventually change matchmaking so that it is based on skillrank instead of tournament rank.

- Fixes to prevent players from getting the same ghost match opponent dozens of times.
- Power booster pack and ultra booster pack are now locked, so new users cannot purchase them until they have played the game for a bit and hopefully bought a few value packs, which they really need to flesh out their library.
- Your 4k bounty ghost match allotment is now a daily thing (6 per day) instead of a weekly thing. If you play all the ghost matches every day, you’ll get more 4k bounties than you previously did under the weekly system.
- “Starter” boosters have been renamed to <Faction> boosters (i.e. “Gold booster”) and now contain 5 guaranteed commons and 4 guaranteed uncommons, with a low chance of rare, for 250 gems instead of the previous 550. This should make them much more affordable and useful to new players.
- Four new units:
