🎉 Release Notes - Version 11.2.20

Main updates

• ✨ (PREMIUM) Your Profile page now contains all-time stats for BG heroes, packs, and achievement information. Once all the data and look and feel is finalized on the website, I will be looking at adding the information on the app itself (with the caveat that it can only be shared from the website). You can see the current state of the page here: Profile Page. Let me know what you would like to see there!

• ✨ Add a Lightray counter to count the number of paladin cards you have played this match.
• ✨ Molten Pick of ROCK now shows in the decklist its bonus damage, so that you can keep track of it more easily.
• 📂 Add card highlights and oracles for Jade Stash (the split version of Jade Idol), Revive Pet, Hagatha's Embrace, Meek Mastery.

Battlegrounds 🌟

• ✨ The simulator now fully supports Choral Mrrrglr (even when the opponent has it on their board).
• 🐛 Fix a visual glitch in the simulation replays when summoning a minion with Bassgill (the issue was only visual).

Firestone 11.1.6

Download Firestone at https://www.firestoneapp.com

Installation instructions for beta builds are at https://github.com/Zero-to-Heroes/firestone/blob/master/beta-test.md

Version 11.1.6 🚀

Minor updates 🛠️

Decktracker 🃏

• 🐛 Fix an issue where decks with ETC Band Manager would sometimes not track properly.
• 🐛 Fix an issue where discarded cards were grouped with cards on board in the Other zone.
• 🐛 Fix an issue where the turn counter would give incorrect results when going second.

Battlegrounds 🌟

• ✨ Sort the strategy tips to put the most recent (so hopefully the most relevant ones) first.
• 🐛 Fix a sim issue with Venomous minions not being registered as Venomous if they were part of the initial board.
• 🐛 Fix a sim issue where Flourishing Frostling and Scourfin were not implemented.
• 🐛 Fix an issue the simulator would sometime not return anything.
• 🐛 Fix an issue where the "Buddies" tier was shown in the minions list even when Buddies were not in the game.

Arena 🏟️

• 🐛 Fix an issue where signature cards would not always appear in the deck list.
• 🐛 Improve detection of the total wins/losses of a run when some games are not tracked by the app.

App 🌐

• 🐛 (Beta version only): Mods are once again operational. However, I've noticed that the game regularly crashes when all mods are enabled, so I suspect that at least one of them is causing this. If you experience crashes, please disable all mods and re-enable them one by one to find the culprit, and let me know on Discord so that I can fix it. Thanks!

Note: The app is now usable again, and you can track your games, see your stats, and use the deck tracker in all game modes. Some work is still needed to support all the new content from 26.2, and that will arrive in the coming days. Thanks for your patience! 🎉

Firestone 11.0.10

Download Firestone at https://www.firestoneapp.com

Installation instructions for beta builds are at https://github.com/Zero-to-Heroes/firestone/blob/master/beta-test.md

This version introduces the Firestone Premium Users rework. You can read all the details (including the list of features that are Premium-exclusive) [on the wiki] (https://github.com/Zero-to-Heroes/firestone/wiki/Premium-vs-ads), but the TL;DR is:

• The Premium subscription is now $5 / month
• There is a new ad space for free users
• A few of the app's features are now premium-exclusive

While I would have loved to keep everything free and continue with the previous business model, I think that the current compromise is not too bad. Most of the information that used to be available for free can still be seen it via other (though less convenient) means directly from the app as well. As for the information that is now exclusive to premium users, I feel that it's usually not vital information, but rather nice-to-have bonuses (like the cards history).

As usual, I'm open to feedback, so let me know what you think on Discord!

New stuff!

• [Battlegrounds] You can now see the strategy tips for each hero by mousing over the "click to view the tips" text in the BG window.
• [Battlegrounds] (PREMIUM) Premium users can also see this information directly in the overlay.
• [Battlegrounds] Your own buddy now appears in the minions list. This lets you check out its golden version easily.
• [Battlegrounds] If you're playing ETC Band Manager, a new "Buds" tier will appear in the bottom row of the minions list with all the Buddies that they can discover from.
• [Battlegrounds] If you're playing Tess or Scabbs, a new "Buds" tier will appear in the bottom row of the minions list with the buddies from all the players in the lobby.
• [Battlegrounds] The "Simulate" button now changes text while the simulation is ongoing.
• [Duels] Duels now has real tier lists for Heroes, Hero Powers, Signature Treasures, and Active and Passive Treasures.

Bug fixes

• [Streams] Fix the missing scrollbar in the Streams tab.

Firestone 10.3.7

Download Firestone at https://www.firestoneapp.com

Installation instructions for beta builds are at https://github.com/Zero-to-Heroes/firestone/blob/master/beta-test.md

I am considering changes to the Premium accounts, and move some features to be premium-only. You can read more about it on the wiki (https://github.com/Zero-to-Heroes/firestone/wiki/Premium-vs-ads), the TL;DR is:

• The ads business model is showing its limits, and I need to change how the app generates revenues to be able to continue doing this full-time
• Premium will move from $3-remove-the-ads to $5-remove-the-ads-and-get-more-features
• As much as possible, pure / low-processed data will be free. Premium features will be QoL and high-processing stuff

This is still experimental, so let me know what you think!

New stuff!

• [Battlegrounds] Strategy tips are here! Thanks to RDU and the BG Curvesheet for writing and sharing these tips! You can access them from the app's main window, or from the BG window while in-game
• [Battlegrounds] [Premium] The strategy tips are now directly displayed when mousing over the hero portrait on the hero selection screen.
• [Battlegrounds] IMPORTANT: mousing over the hero portrait in the hero selection screen to show that hero's stats is now a premium-only feature. If you're not a Premium user, you can still bring up that data with the BG window (Alt + B).
• [Battlegrounds] IMPORTANT: same thing for showing the hero tier and average placement (and again, the info is available on the BG window).
• [Battlegrounds] The MMR graph (in the Rating tab) now doesn't always start at 0, and focuses more on the current rank.
• [App] You can now download your full game history from the Settings > General > Data tab, as well as modify how far back you wish the app to load your games. Beware though that loading your full history might take a while, depending on the amount of games you have.
• [App] Your game history (as well as other data) is now cached on your disk, under %localAppData%\Roaming\Overwolf\lnknbakkpommmjjdnelmfbjjdbocfpnpbkijjnob.
• [Decktracker] Add an icon to merge deck versions together. This is not a functional change, but it should make the deck merge feature easier to discover and understand.
• [Decktracker] Show the Volatile Skeleton counter in some cases when Xyrella is in the deck.
• [Decktracker] Secrets created by Tear Reality now exclude Standard secrets.
• [App] You can now reset the main window positions from the system tray icon. This should help for the rare case where some of these windows get moved outside of the screens.

Bug fixes

• [Decktracker] Fix an issue where Sir Finley would not remove cards at the bottom of the opponent's deck.
• [Decktracker] The +X modifiers (for cards like Ignite) are now hidden when using the Legacy display mode (when Modern Tracker is turned off). They will be reintroduced later on once I'm able to properly do it in that display mode.
• [Battlegrounds] Fix a simulation issue where Teron's Hero Power could cause the first attacker to be recomputed.
• [Battlegrounds] Fix a simulation issue where Amber Guardian could sometimes apply its buff twice.

New stuff!

• [App] Mods support is almost ready! I have added more visual feedback, and a way to automatically update the mods from the Mods screen in the settings. If you'd like to give it a try before it hits the live build (and help me make sure everything works properly ^^), please let me know on Discord.
• [Battlegrounds] The Heroes tab now contains Meta stats (in addition to your own stats), to let you know how each hero performs for the player base, depending on the rank and available tribes. Let me know what you think :)

Bug fixes

• [Battlegrounds] Fix a sim issues where divine shields would sometimes not be removed after taking non-attack damage (eg from Kaboom Bot).
• [Battlegrounds] Fix a sim issues where Denathrius quests would be ignored.

• [Duels] Fix an issue where some passive treasures could appear as Signature Treasure for high-win runs. This fix is however not retroactive (so existing runs can still be buggy).

Firestone 10.1.1

Download Firestone at https://www.firestoneapp.com

Installation instructions for beta builds are at https://github.com/Zero-to-Heroes/firestone/blob/master/beta-test.md

New stuff!

• [Decktracker] The "show gifts separately" option now puts gifts at the very bottom of the deck when using the Legacy display mode.

When you concede a game this early, HS chooses a hero for you to get 8th place with, which distorts statistics. If this change bothers you (and you'd like an option to revert it), please ping me on Discord.
• [App] The "Flash HS window when it's your turn" will now also flash the window when the game is over.

Bug fixes
