January Report 2024

Welcome, Deviants!

This new year started off with a bang! We've been working tirelessly backstage, introducing new features, new cards and new mechanichs, all in search of a better gaming experience..

Play-2-Airdrop

In preparation for it, we have been working on strengthening the experience of our new players and today we want them to be able to experience Deviants Factions fully.

The first step for this was the reformulation of Starters decks. Starting January, players arriving to Deviants Factions receive 4 decks instead of 12, to make it easier to learn and not feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available. In addition, common and uncommon EC1 cards have been released for free use (rare and legendary EC1 cards still require the NFT).

The second step was to better the rewards for new player according to this new road we've set for them by providing Echoes 1 boosters through the Rewards system.

Finally, the arrival in the Unlocked card universe of 10 level 2 cards: the common and uncommon cards of Echoes 1 have now reached a new level.

On-boarding Revamp

We’ve revamped the onboarding process. We understand that navigating a new game and its ecosystem can be challenging, and we want to ensure that every player feels supported and engaged.

We introduced new achievements tailored to guide new players, streamline their experience and introduce them to exciting new dynamics, such as receiving a Deviants Factions NFT card for free, and giving them the posibility of crafting their first ULK card with only a few wins.

Here are some key updates:

New NFT Card Requirements: Entry requirements for tournaments are evolving. Players will now need 1 NFT to enter Playground Tournaments and 2 NFTs for Street Tournaments at minimum. Both used to require 0.

Aligned Tournaments, leagues and crafting rounds:

Midway and Monthly tournaments will now take place on the 15th and the last day of each month, both for Playground and Street Tournaments. Faction tournaments will now synchronize with each month, changing faction on the 1st day. Leagues will also be synchronized with each month, ending the cycle on the last day of the month and starting somewhere in the first week. New crafting recipes will be released monthly before the league ends. This will give between 7 and 10 days to craft and test new cards for the next league.

Deviants League

Deviants League is going for it's fourth run!

This fourth edition starts on Feb 5 and ends on Feb 29, tracking and tallying all your listed tournament results. At the end of this period, +1500 USD in prizes will be distributed to the firs 100 postions and scores will be reset for the next league.
