We’ll have more details to share about these skills as early as next month. **Mythic Buffs & New Legendary Versions of Characters** Check out our [earlier post](https://www.kongregate.com/forums/727066-general/topics/1843916-official-mythic-buffs-new-legendaries-are-coming-soon), outlining the upcoming buffs for older Mythics and the new Legendary versions of characters. We have also announced details about the soon to come buffs for [Stewie and Louise](http://www.kongregate.com/forums/727066-general/topics/1844695-official-coming-soon-buffs-to-mythic-stewie-and-louise). # Future *Features or fixes we have discussed implementing but need more time to plan, design, and/or implement.* **Daily Quest Update** We are working on a new system to improve daily quests. In the new system, completing quests will earn progress towards bigger rewards. There will also be a greater variety of quests and new weekly quests. **Challenge Updates** We aren’t happy with the current state of Challenges and are looking to replace them with a more engaging and rewarding system. This update is early in the design process and we will share more news about it soon. **Buyback System & Card Buffs** We shared details about a Buyback System and Card Buffs [earlier this year](https://www.kongregate.com/forums/727066-general/topics/1795373): > Originally posted by *[ModchiKopi](/forums/727066/topics/1795373?page=1#13007485)**:* > #### Buyback System > > A buyback system would allow players to purchase previously recycled cards with giggitywatts. In turn, we would be able to buff older cards without the recycle regret and influx of support tickets asking for cards to be restored. It will also help players get a faster resolution if a card was accidentally recycled. > > #### Card Buff Cycles > > For those of you who play Spellstone, you may be familiar with the concept of [card buffs](https://www.kongregate.com/pages/spellstone-card-updates-january-2019-angels): previously released cards are reviewed and some have their stats permanently increased. > > Once we release the buyback system, we are able to do card buffs in Throwdown, in order to increase the number of viable cards and strategies. Card Buffs would be announced from time to time and would include both premium and standard cards. This is one potential approach to addressing concerns about the current card pools. Additionally, event boxes in the shop may offer recently buffed cards so that newer players also have access to them. These changes are still planned, but we don’t currently have an ETA. # Other / FAQ > **How does Clash matchmaking work and are there any changes in the works? ** Clash Matchmaking currently pairs you with an opponent based on the level of the Clash you are in. The higher level you go in Clash, the higher SFC ranked opponents you will face. The match is made based off of current SFC ranks, not where players stood at the time the Clash started. We are reviewing matchmaking and player feedback and may make some adjustments. At this early stage, there isn’t more to share, but we will make an official post announcing any changes, if needed. > **Are there any plans to update card/stone pools?** We are aware that Legendary duals and quads are increasingly difficult to get as the pool expands and have future plans to address the issue. At this time, we don’t have additional details to share. If you have any additional questions or comments, please let us know here. Thanks! metadata Looks promising, most interested in the buy back and buffs. Seems like that has been planned for awhile now metadata Most interesting is the new skills are you kidding metadata Any updates to Combo Mastery? That was mentioned to receive an overhaul back in January. metadata > *Originally posted by **[me3said2](/forums/727066/topics/1844696?page=1#13179372)**:* > Most interesting is the new skills are you kidding It's been in the code for a long time, and not much you can do about it other than buy more cards: burn random enemy, bunker/shield self, and craze ally The buy back gives me more options and something I have some control over metadata Looks awesome may I suggest a fast forward button on the challenges in the challenge island. Every 4 or 5 days you start over and its time consuming having to play the lower levels to get up to the higher levels. metadata Hey B.Orange, These updates sound great, looking forward to them. Please can you add to the Combo Mastery Filter a way where I can see which combos I have got 3/2/1 crowns of, in your upcoming update of interacting and viewing CM? Currently arranged alphabetically, it would also be useful if you could view them according to levels. Also would be great if you could look into expanding the PC stones pool. Thanks metadata Everything looks great!! My only concern is the buyback and legendary buffs should go together. If the buffs come before buyback, it’ll be kinda moot considering those are more than likely the cards that got recycled. The buffs won’t help us if all the cards being buffed are sitting in the recycle box lol metadata Also will the mythic buff affect cards that have been upgraded? Or just the mentioned level metadata Are there still plans to expand the number of combo masteries offered per day? I recall modchi saying they were considering as many as 10 total (5 gems, 5 stones perday). metadata buff old crappy combos like louise scissor hands and linda mermaid. add the new skills to some of those old combos too metadata > *Originally posted by **[CollinB189](/forums/727066/topics/1844696?page=1#13179408)**:* > Are there still plans to expand the number of combo masteries offered per day? I recall modchi saying they were considering as many as 10 total (5 gems, 5 stones perday). Agreed metadata Hopefully buyback system will get an ETA soon. Desperately needed. But a note issue is the need another card slot expansion with all these mythics and new cards coming there is no room despite multiple slot purchases. metadata **New skills!?!

Something similar to Unity when duplicate cards are played? ¡Fast! [They don't seem to fit the pictures very well?] > *Originally posted by **[wantsdough](/forums/727066/topics/1844696?page=1#13179413)**:* > buff old crappy combos like louise scissor hands and linda mermaid. add the new skills to some of those old combos too +1 Swap out some old skills with some new ones. **Double the payout of Mythic Stones for daily logins.** Attainment of one of the 5 mythics in the Mythic Stone pool should precede reaching the SFC. No need to be a skinflint. metadata One day I accidentally recycled a quad legendary card. It was so painful. It's good to know that if that happen again we will get it back. metadata > _Originally posted by **[Lorzdom](/forums/726779/topics/1844696?page=1#13180101):**_ > One day I accidentally recycled a quad legendary card. It was so painful. It's good to know that if that happen again we will get it back. You could have gotten that card back already if you submitted a ticket to kong. I couldn’t find my QF wingnut once; ticketed Kong and it turned out I’d recycled it without any knowledge. They were able to tell me exactly what date I recycled it, what other cards I did as well, and gave me the card back (minus it’s gwatts worth) as a courtesy. metadata > _Originally posted by **[IndustryDarling](/forums/726779/topics/1844696?page=1#13180311):**_ > > _Originally posted by **[Lorzdom](/forums/726779/topics/1844696?page=1#13180101):**_ > > One day I accidentally recycled a quad legendary card.

Along with many others... Most improvements that can be made are obvious metadata Are any of the "new" legendary character cards going to be available through the stone pool? metadata > *Originally posted by **[ErnieDgiantchkn](/forums/727066/topics/1844696?page=1#13181629)**:* > Are any of the "new" legendary character cards going to be available through the stone pool?
