> Quick update… we’re splitting 1.0.9 into 2 parts - the main reason is because Andrew, our tech superstar, is taking a break for a few weeks due to the birth of his son (congrats Andrew!) We need his crazy tech skills to polish up the new PvP stuff we’ve got planned.
> 
> The GOOD news is you’ll get the REST of 109 a little bit sooner because we’ve pushed the PvP back to 110, including a major rework to Heroes, and a bunch of other cool stuff.

> Regarding True Shot. We’ll have some improvements in place there, but I don’t want to give too much away yet.

> One thing we DO have in 109 is a Refund feature for Troops. Any time we reduce stats/spells on a troop for balance, we will be able to offer Traitstone & Soul refunds for a week afterwards on that Troop. This will allow us much more flexibility in balancing things.

1. Please dont change the ranking system itself. Thx. I realy like the fact, that any player with patience might be able to reach a nice rank.
2. “Any time we reduce stats/spells on a troop for balance”. Please consider some buffs (increases stats) as well, coz recent changes in the last patches simply let some cards fell behind:
