Since the start of November, Shardmoon has moved to a painted Moonglass look throughout the game, picked up a shorter tutorial, rooms to play with friends, a statistics page and a few changes to cards. Here is what changed, grouped together instead of patch by patch.
A new look: painted Moonglass
Buttons, windows, medallions, the shop, the quest book and your profile plate now use a painted Moonglass style instead of flat panels. The Shardmoon logo and 59 card pictures show the moon as it really broke: four pieces and a small shard drifting away. The match table was rebuilt with floating islands as game pieces, the game now fills your screen instead of keeping a black border, and on a slow phone connection the first menu picture and board load sooner.
Faster into your first match
The tutorial is shorter: a note beside the table guides each step instead of a popup, a won match ends on a painted victory screen with your result, and the starting hand is easier to read on small screens. Outside the main tutorial, Tactics now teaches each of its 13 tactics as its own short tutorial, with two or three scenarios to solve for every tactic.
Play with friends
Play Online now has rooms: create one and share its six-character code or a link, and whoever joins plays you in the room's lobby, where you also pick your deck. Challenge a player from the room's list or press Start game, and talk in the room's own chat channel; outside a room, World and Friends are still their own chat tabs.
Your progress
The quest book was rebuilt with daily and weekly quests on one page: rewards are bigger (a daily quest now gives 20 Silver and 50 XP, a weekly quest 100 Silver and 250 XP), you can swap one daily quest a day for free, and collecting a quest on 5 of the 7 days in a quest week earns an extra free Base Set pack. A new statistics page, opened from the symbol next to your name, shows your games, win rate and streaks for Lifetime, Ranked, Quick Games, Local and games against friends, together with the decks you played and your last games.
Cards, easier to read
Every Stage 2 and Stage 3 Shardling again shows which Shardling it evolves from on the small card, hovering over a card in your hand shows it enlarged with its full text, Shardlings that give life or let you draw a card carry a painted symbol instead of a placeholder, and the card filter in the collection and deck builder can now filter by phase: Base, Stage 2, Stage 3 or Shardlings without stages.
