As most of you know, currently, BGE’s are on a 6 week cycle with some overlapping. Our plan is to adjust the cycle so that BGE’s will now run for 3 weeks with only a single BGE active at a time. We are confident this more dynamic cycle will help keep things exciting by allowing players more opportunities to show off their deck building skills! Our plan is to have the ongoing Animal BGE be the last 6 week long BGE and roll out the first 3 week long BGE for the final 3 weeks of the Animal BGE. Both BGE’s will end on the same date and will also mark the last time 2 BGE’s will run simultaneously. The more consistent schedule of a single BGE every 3 weeks will then begin. We are making this change so that Rumbles will always align with the last week of the BGE, which will unify the guild Rumble and BGE cycle. Rumbles are slotted to run on the 3rd week of each BGE to help avoid any confusion as to which BGE will be active. Clashes will also be receiving a change to their scheduling. Rather than being every other week, Clash events will now be back-to-back for 2 weeks straight but then absent from the third week. _Clash events will still have there own individual BGE and not be affected by the world BGE buffs._ For a more visual representation of what the planned transition into this new schedule will look like please see below: ![](https://cdn1.kongcdn.com/assets/files/0002/6707/BGECYCLE2019-08-22_111342.png) Please feel free to share any questions or feedback you may have. metadata Thanks for the information - looks nice, especially the fact that clashes will be more often. But the "only one BGE at a time"-policy will make it harder for players with only several good cards to build a competative deck. The times with two active BGEs made it easier to build a deck with many object-cards that recieved a bonus. metadata What's the plan for releasing new cards under ths new schedule? Adding a new cycle of cards every 3 weeks will flood the game with new cards, making it even more difficult to get copies to fuse up. I'm all for the new schedule, but it needs to be implimented properly. metadata Good news metadata Can we please have a moment of silence for the Dual BGE? Never again will we see the likes of them. metadata I would prefer a 4 week overlapping BGE. The week after rumble being the transition week. I like the other changes. Will clash still be Mondays on and rumbles Thursdays on? metadata > *Originally posted by **[MunkehWildfire](/forums/727066/topics/1854754?page=1#13217266)**:* > What's the plan for releasing new cards under ths new schedule?

I'm all for the new schedule, but it needs to be implimented properly. I would think at the very least they cut down on the number of cards released each BGE. they would only have 3 tier boxes, so only room for three legendary metadata How far ahead of time can we expect to find out what the BGE's will be? Currently we usually get around 10 days notice. metadata I like these changes. metadata > *Originally posted by **[MunkehWildfire](/forums/727066/topics/1854754?page=1#13217266)**:* > What's the plan for releasing new cards under ths new schedule?

I'm all for the new schedule, but it needs to be implimented properly. Will we be seeing the same numbers of new cards every BGE? That would result in 33% more cards rolling out. Also, will we be seeing any increase in GT prizes?

Kong finally nails it! And on a major change no less! Shorter bge cycles means more variety and keeping it fresh. More clashes means more rewards. And syncing cycles means theres always a special event on in any given week. Kudos kong!! metadata Currently, rumbles reward a card for an active BGE. With the new schedule, will the reward card be for the next BGE instead? It would be disappointing to get a card that you likely won't use until that BGE returns months later. metadata > _Originally posted by **[NathanV417](/forums/726779/topics/1854754?page=1#13217281):**_ > > *Originally posted by **[MunkehWildfire](/forums/727066/topics/1854754?page=1#13217266)**:* > > What's the plan for releasing new cards under ths new schedule?

I too would like to hear how this change affects GT packs and new BGE card releases. metadata > _Originally posted by **[NathanV417](/forums/726779/topics/1854754?page=1#13217268):**_ > Can we please have a moment of silence for the Dual BGE?

Rumble should reward a card for the following BGE under this new schedule. metadata > _Originally posted by **[MunkehWildfire](/forums/726779/topics/1854754?page=1#13217291):**_ > > *Originally posted by **[Isol](/forums/727066/topics/1854754?page=1#13217283)**:* > > Currently, rumbles reward a card for an active BGE.

Rumble should reward a card for the following BGE under this new schedule. I like that idea!! It would seem counter intuitive to reward a card for a different bge, but it would be more practical since you can use the card right away ! metadata The one downside I see is the lack of lead time for integrating new cards (both from GT packs and rumble rewards). With the current system, the two weeks of BGE overlap allows time to acquire and research more item cards for the new BGE, while the old BGE carries the load, so to speak. With this new setup, you'd need your new deck to already be setup as soon as the new BGE starts. Not a big deal for veterans, but problematic for newer players seeing a BGE for the first time. Research speedups just got more valuable. metadata Oh, it's good news. Thanks, it will be great metadata If the New BGE ends concluding with the rumble then i would suggest that the new BGE goes into effect the second the rumble ends. Doing that would give the maximum time for the BGE. By starting a new BGE on a Thursday, there are two dead days of the old BGE metadata A lot of this is good but the lose of the overlap bges is a major lose to deck builders and trying to work out how to get best value on multitrait cards. Some combos only get played due to its friend combo in the other bge making the chat viable and I think finding those compromises adds a lot to the deck building skill rather than working out best combo for 1 bge and playing as much as you can. So lots good but some multi bges would still add value metadata > *Originally posted by **[mkesaber](/forums/727066/topics/1854754?page=1#13217295)**:* > > _Originally posted by **[MunkehWildfire](/forums/726779/topics/1854754?page=1#13217291):**_ > > > *Originally posted by **[Isol](/forums/727066/topics/1854754?page=1#13217283)**:* > > > Currently, rumbles reward a card for an active BGE.

It would seem counter intuitive to reward a card for a different bge, but it would be more practical since you can use the card right away ! I also like this idea. They would need to implement this right away, starting with the Animal-only rumble next week though. I hope they anticipated this. Oh wait, they haven't given us an animal card for this BGE yet. It's already too late to implement this idea without skipping a BGE. The only other alternative would be to postpone the next BGE until the end of animal, not concurrent with the last 3 weeks of animal. metadata > _Originally posted by **[Pepelepue](/forums/726779/topics/1854754?page=1#13217279):**_ > I like these changes. Me too! Love dropping the bge time from 6 to 3 weeks! metadata So basicly a push to force spending ,because 3 weeks isn't enough time to gather items for a bge unless you spend. If your new to a bge you will have to spend out the ass to not only get the items needed, but to research them as well. Or just suck at the bge. Ftp is a thing of the past ,if it ever was a thing. metadata I would love to have a Week 4 overlap with Week 1. metadata > *Originally posted by **[1legamer](/forums/727066/topics/1854754?page=1#13217337)**:* > I would love to have a Week 4 overlap with Week 1. +1 « Prev
