HEX Update – Auction House and More

Hi HEXers! We successfully launched a patch last week that included some quality-of-life updates, as well as multiple new features! Let’s take a look at how things are running.

Patch Zoltog

Like Zoltog spawns out near infinite Savage Raiders, this patch seemed to have near infinite features. The first one was the Auction House. Yup, you can now buy and sell all your cards, packs, and more. Thanks again for your patience when we rescheduled the patch. It’s obviously important to get something like the Auction House right the first time. Players need to be able to use the feature and trust that their cards, currencies are safe. So far, it’s going great. By every measure, you love it. You really love it! If you’ve been looking for a few specific cards or hoping to cash in some of your existing cards for draft platinum, now’s the time to log in. Of course, we aren’t done yet. We’re gathering and evaluating enhancements that you, the players, want in the Auction House. Make sure to hit the link at the end of this article and post any ideas you have. We’re also continuing to looking at implementing ways to transfer cards without the Auction House, as well as the ability to trade cards.

We also launched Starter Trials this week. This feature allows players to fight the AI and learn about their deck while earning additional cards that they can add to their deck. So, it’s a great way for players to familiarize themselves with different strategies and earn more free cards. Players can enter a Starter Trial for each Starter Deck they have on their account. So far that one has been a great success too.

Finally, we launched large-scale tournaments with swiss pairings. Last week, Chark was kind enough to write-up an article on that feature. They worked well for the most part and the queues reached capacity well before the individual tournaments began, but we did detect a few issues that were disrupting the game as a whole. We’ve taken the tournaments down for now as our engineers and QA team work to improve that feature. You’ll see big tournaments come back in a future patch.

Starving For Set 2

Our friends at TenTonHammer published their E3 feature for HEX and show off Starving Lich, a card you’ll see in Shattered Destiny. Take a look!
