A New Era

https://cdn.shadowera.com/news3_newera.png

We're pleased to announce that Shadow Era has found a new owner, and we're in the final stages of completing the agreement and asset transfer.

Under the terms of the agreement:

Servers will remain operational.
All player accounts and items will remain intact.
Blockchain features will be removed, and SHDW refunds paid out to current owners of pets/blockchain cards (but they will still get to keep them in-game!) Pets and super foils will return in the future for sale in sc or $ (tbd by new owners)
Profit share from the sale will be distributed to token holders as of August 31, 2022 through PayPal transfer requests. If you have your tokens in your own wallet, be sure that your account is linked and shows up at https://shadowtoken.io/account
After that date, SHDW will no longer be associated with Shadow Era, although tokens can still be bought and sold on the exchanges.

Good news that the game won't be going away after all. Would be interested in a bit of information on the new owners, just for sake of transparency.

Happy ;)

This is awesome!! Long live Shadow Era!! I hope I get to teach this game to my son when he grows older (2 more years probably at age 7)

Might I suggest listing Shadow Era on EpicGames? We could give like a Welcome Starter Pack or something and be in the weekly free games, like what Idle Champions Of Forgotten Realms is doing, it will give Shadow Era some great exposure.

This is amazing! Thank you to our new owner! Respect!

Hopefully they can bring back the physical game too. I just hope it doesn't go freemium.

:D H o o r a y :D

I am so happy to hear, this awesome game will continue to exist. I thank to the original developers, producers and crew again for everything they have given to the players; for all their efforts and passion. My prayers are with you, always. Also I would like to say hello to the new owner and the team. I wish you all the best.

I can't post new Announcement threads yet - so I thought I'd put this question here.

What game play function would you guys like to see added to the game most?

My thoughts were:

1) in game tournament system
2) referral system for rewarding players with SC for recruiting new players
3) Guild chats in-game
4) Guild restricted deck libraries on the website

Any chance the physical cards will ever come back?

You never know. I have produced 7 commercial card game products in the past with varying success. The most successful was probably Battlecards World Conflict. I know the card printers and I love promoting card games on the convention scene. But SE is much better as an online card game. I could however see a board game that uses Shadow Era cards fand terrain tiles. Kind of like a tabletop version of a Heroes of Might and Magic III (there's a call back to an old great one) - but with an SE theme. "Battles of Balor" perhaps?

Never say never about the physical cards though.

The in game tournament mode for sure. That has the best potential to increase the active players.

Are there more details around the SHDW refunds and profit transfers?

Great news the game will still be going.
Will redownload and start playing again
Would be great to see a guild base in Game where you can see which guild members are online and sort practice matches easier and from there you could guild wars.

Would also love a way to just see cards I need in merchant so I don't need to go though them all or know the name

I personally believe this game started to go downhill with the addition of seek and land cards. Both types of cards were rarely made in other card games because free cards and picking cards creates poor conditions especially in top tier play. They both give too much advantage by allowing no cost plays which actually affects the field and allowing people to hand choose their cards. Other games avoided this knowing the trouble it causes. Shadowera seemed to revel in the disfunction of it all. I would love to see both land cards and seek removed from the game, or at the very least weaken the effects of land cards or put a very large downside to them, and drastically increase the cost to seek cards.

would a system to reduce misfortune be too OP? thinking of either a mulligan system, or the ability to have one specific card in your deck be in your first draw every game (this one might be a little too much)

Good ideas. The only needed cards filter should be easy to do.

The seek abilities could be nerfed, but but they do add an element as long as they are limited. For instance There is a Human ally that seeks an attachment "that can't be attached to a hero". Not broken. The ally costs 5 and has a minor effect on most games. However the wulven card thar costs 2 and can draw ANY attachment is a bit broken.

I could see specific cards drawn by seek abilities too. For instance a Krugal ally that seeks a boomerang when it is summoned, or a Mage ally that seeks a familiar, or a Rogue Ally that seeks a backstab card. Essentially, the card realistically includes the specific sought card. Of course you Hage to build that extra value into the cost of the card.

I appreciate the move away from crypto/nft type stuff - I think the top 2 priorities should be tournament integration and possible development of a mulligan system.

After that, a plan for expansion schedules and (possibly) a retirement system for old cards to avoid the bloat - generally I prefer "modern vs expanded" type approaches (ie "modern" being the current tournament sets, expanded allowing all sets, but not in normal tournaments)

Thank you.

Hi there am i allowed to Stream this game on my twitch? Don't have a huge following but maybe some incentives for people to watch like twitch drops could help get people coming to check it out.

Yes please.... :)

Maybe it would be a good idea to have a dedicated subforum for streams and youtube videos, kinda like content creator type. What do you guys think?

The camera work creates an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're right there with them! You'll feel like you're part of the story because of how well they capture everything on camera!

Hello there,

with the patch v4.60 I saw, that my Shadow Tokens are completely gone now (had 1.266 SHDW total). Am I about to receive something for that? Or are they just gone without any compensation?

Cheers
MrNice

Glad to hear we have new ownership! People need to come back to deck discussions. That was very helpful.

Am I the only one with this issue?

Nr. 1.

I also have the same problem bro

This thread gives me life! Respek to all the new management!!

I suggest that you add new hero cards to Shadowera, heroes that utilize passive abilities when being attacked and can only receive a maximum of 4 damage per hit. This would nullify many of the current strategies. The game has become tedious because everyone is using the same decks of cards. It's boring to see the same thing over and over again.

Thanks Boss.
