Is Tales of Tribute Done? No New Deck in Update 46.

Dominoid

Pretty much the title. Is Tales of Tribute in maintenance mode? I would have expected a Tales deck with Update 46. Don't see anything on the roadmap either.

No new companions this year either. When asked, they said it's not on this year's plan, but that doesn't mean it's gone forever. Same probably goes for ToT.

How can they have major annual features that they just decide to opt out of without so much as an explanation?

They should spend less time meaninglessly telling us how “excited” they are in their presentations and more time going through aspect by aspect of the game and sharing what the plan is for the coming year.

The banter and speeches full of platitudes need to go especially in this “transition period” when players need information on the changes taking place.

The same goes for Scribing Grimoires. We would've expected a new one in Update 46, given that Banner Bearer was added two updates after the first batch of Grimoires were added, but it's been two updates since Banner Bearer and there's nothing. We could hope for a new set of Grimoires in Update 48, but maybe that isn't a priority this year.

I wonder, with Tales of Tribute specifically, if it might not be better now to focus on adding new cards / functions to existing decks. We already have now A LOT of decks and some of them really don't play well with others.

Especially considering scribing coming to the base game. One would hope the devs wouldn’t abandon it when giving it to everyone.

If so it's not a big deal. Chess has been in maintenance mode like forever and people still play it.

I believe they added some new rewards to it in the past year, which is nice. I think it could use some new system features instead of new patrons. (Then again, I haven't enjoyed the recent patrons despite being excited for having new things to earn and try out, so maybe that's just me.)

As someone who has enjoyed Tribute a lot, I think adding more patrons too frequently can cause balance issues or make the game harder to jump into for new players. I think it might be better if they started adding systems like a weekend "tournament" (without actual brackets) where you play 5 random matches and get rewards based on it. It can include modifiers like only certain patrons can be used, for some play variety (like set rotations in regular card games, but just for this weekend event).

It would help if it was added to the basegame like battlegrounds, but the tutorial and everything are totally based in Gonfalon.
