HEX Update – Your Destiny is Here

Lots of tournaments this weekend!

Hi HEXers. Shattered Destiny is out! Let’s talk about how the release has gone so far.

We launched the new content on Tuesday and it’s been relatively stable since. We feel it’s been a successful launch and players are very happy with the game so far. Some players experienced a “black loader” problem that was solved within a day, and we did have a bug pop up that resulted in some server downtime. That issue was fixed Thursday night. Thanks to the efforts of our QA team and you players, we’ve identified various bugs that we’re targeting for a Tuesday fix. That includes Subterranean Spy ability to… well… spy, some booster draft deckbuiding hiccups, and some very rare match loss glitches. Overall, our goal with that patch is to fix problems that can be solved without introducing any big changes to the game that could introduce systemic bugs. We want a solid game up for players as we move into the holiday break.

You can see the entire set in the game, or you can browse the webpage. While you’re at it, you’ll want to download the set FAQ for all the new keywords and specific rules for card interactions. If you missed any of the hype, you can read the articles on this site and head to our YouTube channel to see the new set highlights.

Release Celebration Weekend

Log in and play special all-Shattered-Destiny tournaments this weekend in both Booster Draft and Sealed Deck. Players get the Darkspire Punisher alternate art for participation in those special tournaments, and the winner of each gets the Filk Ape alternate art. These are only available during this weekend, so make sure to get yours!

VIP Alternate Art Cards Retired this January

December 26th, 27th, and 28th will be your last chance to win alternate art Xentoth’s Inquisitor AA and Menacing Gralk AA. Those two cards are being retired, and there will be two new alternate art cards from Shattered Destiny available starting with the January VIP weekend. If you need a few more copies of either card to finish off your set, don’t miss out on this month’s Sealed Deck VIP events!
