Game Hive DevUpdate #161: Forbidden Fortune
Click here for the GameHive blog version with the pretty images
Hey everyone, lemmingllama here. Today we’ll start to look at a couple of the changes coming in the 8.2 update. Today we’ll be looking at an improvement to solo raid rewards with a new way of acquiring cards, and some visual improvements. Let’s get into it!
With the introduction of the 8.0 update and the Raid Crystal, it has become more efficient for players to focus on their highest level cards with their wildcards. However, this focusing can mean that their other cards can fall behind, and this can slow down unlocking additional slots in the Raid Crystal. To help with this, as well as to help new players with acquiring all the raid cards, we’re introducing a new type of card reward: Fortune Raid Cards. Fortune raid cards will be an additional reward available in solo raid rewards on top of the existing resources, and will always give card fragments for your lowest level cards. This will help when new cards are added to ensure that players can unlock them quickly and level them up, and also to help keep your lower level cards at decent levels to help unlock your Raid Crystal slots sooner.
In addition to this change, we’re also adding some new visual settings around Forbidden Contract and Royal Contract. The effects of Forbidden Contract adds a shadow over the Sword Master, which can obscure your equipment visuals. In the 8.2 update, we’ll add a toggle to disable the silhouette, allowing you to show off your equipment and their transmogs at all times.
Thank you for reading! As a reminder, you can view our web store for some free diamonds, raid cards, and good deals on various bundles.
Happy Tapping!

The Progress Bundle in the shop, when will it become available for purchase again? If it becomes available, I’d like to purchase it.

Progression bundles are occasionally reset for special occasions such as Black Friday. It has happened in the past, but only every 1-2 years.
We'll typically announce in the patch notes if we are resetting bundles as part of an update, so be sure to look at the patch notes we release on Fridays!

There are cards that I never really use, ever. With Fortune Cards, those unused cards will level up, which means using resources that could have been spent on cards I actually use.
Can we have an option to opt out of this feature? It would be great to have the choice between ordinary Wild Cards and Fortune Cards as our reward.
I don't really care much about other cards falling behind, I deliberately chose it to be that way.

It’s an additional reward system. What resources are you losing? You don’t have to level the cards if you don’t want to if you want to opt out.
It will help Raid Research and power related to total raid card levels.

What they say it will be for now, does not mean it will always be that way. Naive to think that once this resource in the game that they aren't going to use it elsewhere (eventually).
I give it less then 6 months before you're getting fortune cards in other places besides the daily solo raid portal, meaning it replaced wild cards or fragments in that reward, both of which have higher value.
Leveling cards should be the player choice, whether they are doing "optimal" things or not. It's their choice whether to ignore cards completely (to their determent) or hyper focus a single card to 100 or 150 (to their determent) simply because they want to.
GameHive should not be adding features that give them the ability to take away our "choice".

Wildcards will still exist as the primary method of player choice for levelling up your cards. Fortune cards are simply being added as additional rewards to help with edge cases where wildcards cannot help (card unlocking for example) or cases where players are willfully playing unoptimally with their wildcards (choosing to not level up their lower level cards when it would be optimal to do so).
There currently aren't any plans to add fortune cards outside of solo raids, but even if they were implemented in places such as the Hive and Seek shop, they would not be replacing wildcards but instead be an additional option.
Random cards existing does not take away from the choices that players have with their wildcards as-is, and fortune cards are simply a more focused resource than random cards. Often fortune cards will be more optimal relative to random cards, as in cases like when a new card is released, the fortune cards could replace that of your wildcards to level the new cards to an optimal level.

It's roughly optimal to keep your unused cards at half the level of your primary cards, as you get raid XP, raid research points, and cheaper card levels for unlocking additional raid crystal slots. Fortune cards will partially exist to help keep players cards in line with this, even if they are not actively choosing to invest wildcards in their lower level cards.
Also to mention, the fortune cards are being added on top of existing solo raid rewards, so they will not replace rewards that would be spent on cards that you actually use. And with the fact that they'll help you unlock additional raid crystal slots, you will actually be helping "level up" more of your used cards if they would need to be in the raid crystal to be at a usable level.

The fortune cards are literally just free cards. It doesn’t impact the rewards you already get. They’re not replacing wildcards.

It currently seems to be Heavenly Strike and Dagger, but all builds are still viable to play.

Can I reset my solo raid level to zero so I can take advantage of these new upgrades?

u/lemmingllama Message me for TT2 Help 11d ago
It'll be in the daily portals, so there would be no need to reset your solo raid world.

You guys should rework all solo raid itself, or implement a way to "skip" worlds. There's a lot of players with power enough to go up 40-50 worlds, but it's incredibly TEDIOUS, to do it manually 1 world by 1 world, 10 raids in every single world. A lot of players simply prefer to not up the raid world, and just stay behind.
