HEX Update – Pack Crackin

Hi HEXers! It’s Weekly Update with your favorite game development team! We have an update on patch v825, pack opening, treasure chests, and a message from Shaggy to our community.

Exterminators

In testing patch v825, our team encountered a bug that they are currently tracking down. Therefore, we are not patching this week as our team dedicates their time to fixing that issue. Once we have that problem identified and fixed, we will release v825 that includes some new cards, stability fixes, and more. Update: We will be patching today at 4 PM Pacific (12:00 GMT) with v825. Servers will be down for 2 hours.

Pack Cracking

Yesterday, Cory revealed the progress our artists have made on the pack opening and treasure chests. Congratulations, art team! Please keep in mind that these are in-progress so they’ll be even better when they’re done!

When you open a pack, it goes into an altar that’s in the form of Kismet, the primal of fate. Your cards come out of her magical waters and turn over, revealing the contents of that pack. Your final card, either rare or legendary, will glow and you’ll click on that card to reveal it. Watch the video below to see the animation.

If you’re worried that opening all your packs would take too long, we will have a feature where you can open multiple packs at once.

Each booster pack comes with a treasure chest that’s one of four quality level: common, uncommon, rare, or legendary. You can open the treasure chest for your reward at any time. But, what about that gold you’ve been earning from completing quests and clearing dungeons? You can spend some gold and spin the Wheels of Fate to win other rewards, plus potentially upgrade the quality level of your treasure chest. Check out the video below for the Wheels of Fate preview.

What items can be found in treasure chests? Players will find a variety of items in chests from gold to booster packs! Exclusive alternate art cards can also be found in treasure chests, and you can see HEX Engine below.

Community Manager

Hey HEXers Shaggy here,

I am sad to say that my time as the community manager for HEX is coming to an end. I have had an amazing time interacting with the community each day, it has literally been a dream come true. However, my fiancé and I have been offered a wonderful opportunity back home and after much consideration we have decided it’s the best option for our family. This was an unbelievably hard decision for us to make, I have made so many friends during my short time at Cryptozoic and let me say there is no better team of people to work with. Their dedication to not only HEX but its community is second to none, this game is in great hands and I for one can’t wait to see where it goes as a player.

While I will no longer be the CM for HEX, I will continue to be a part of the community and help with any community function I can. We will be looking for a new community manager soon, with such an amazing pool of players to choose from, it will be easy finding that great person to give the community the attention it deserves. Thank you all for making my time here magnificent; it has truly been a blessing to be your player representative!

We’re looking for a Community Manager to continue the Patch Breakdowns, create a weekly HEX stream, help our teams communicate with HEX fans, and be a representative for the players. You can see the job listing here and if you applied last year, we still have your application on file.

That’s all from us this week. Thanks again for your continued support of HEX. Please leave any questions or comments in the forums linked below, and don’t forget to Like us on Facebook, Follow us on Twitch, register on our forums, and Follow us on Twitter.
