Good glorious Tuesday morning everyone! Here are some things that are coming up soon... *** # Event Reward Updates The new event reward updates will start going out tomorrow. Any events currently in progress will not experience any changes in rewards. This reward update also includes Rumbles - so the next Rumble will also have updated rewards. # Rumble Matchmaking Updates We will be updating Rumbles to include an inactivity check. If a guild (meaning all players) have been inactive for 14 days, they will not be included in Rumble battles. This update may be released as early as this week's Rumble (after final testing). # SFC Updates We've released some improvements to SFC that we hope further negates the 'Leap Frogging' strategy. We are not getting specific on the updates, but the team is aware of the concern from the community and will continue to review and update SFC as needed. *** - ShinyMetalMod

**If I was the despot running AT, I might like to do the following concerning leapfrogging and SFC in general:** **1. **I would take all accounts with SFC scores more than a couple standard deviations above the mean and as a one time parity action, reset them to the average SFC score. I would not further penalize players who did not technically cheat regardless of people's moral arguements about the matter. This is a fairer action than resetting just some people to 0 or everyone for that matter. **2. **I would do away with the current SFC matchmaking script completely. I would have the game asign a point vallue to the users active deck that could be as simple as the total gwatt value of the deck (gwatts spent to bring deck cards to their current level, (top 25 cards scored only of course). Mythics would be scored at 15-0 gwatts per mythic shard. The point is that every deck would have a quantified "power" value. matchmaking then would select a deck in plus/minus 20-30% range and the challenge coins awarded would re reflective in part of where in that spectrum of difficulty you fell as it does now. This woulld destroy any incentive to leapfrog with decks comprised of common/rare/epic cards. This score would also be displayed in the players inventory as they build decks. Perhaps BGE bonuses could be included as a multiplier to each card's "value". **3. ** I would either: set a token level in SFC (say 1500 tokens) where the challenge coins awarded remains constant for every win instead of continuing to climb indefiinitly or do away with the challenge token award and award tokens based on the scoring system in item 2 above normalized to a maxiumum score that would result from a deck of 20 max quad legendaries and 5 max quad mythics. You score/lose tokens and trophies based on where on that score spectrum the deck you just played is. **4. ** Given the proposed changes above, I would no longer hide the guild and user name in SFC load screen. Alot of people like to play folks they know if they can. Thank you so much for your consideration of these thoughts.

Are the reward changes more appealing for F2Ps?

Lol those 10 top 18k pvp, most have now just corrected hero to zapp... It was just coincidence! they were making experiences... All at same time

Staying toxic I see. It should be "Not this, You're stupid." It's fine. We are all stupid, in our time. Some for more time than others. Yes, the lower tiers got a relatively bigger increase than the higher ones.

I am very excited about how these changes might work out. Especially happy with anything that might fix SFC, and Rumble matchmaking. *crosses fingers*

So F2P players which generally are in the lower tiers will see better rewards which in turn will be more appealing. I'm not sure of the brain malfunction this toon was having.

I thought rewards were suppose to update today with artsy butts challenge.
