Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

important news-1.0.84 Build Notes | January 16, 2013

Actually, there are very accurate records kept of all volunteer staff at US Nats and Worlds.

Randy has made a great program that tracks hours, packs earned and whether a Staff card(s) were earned. This program is used by Ronae and Joanne to 'payout' the volunteers at the end of those events as well as justify to TPCi who earned staff cards. And the volunteer is required to sign for their payout.

Those are tracked pretty closely.
 
Awesome to hear! So yeah, there's that list to follow too. Maybe it's not as easily correlated to PTCGO usernames, but it would be a starting point.
 
new information added

In addition to the new features added yesterday, I wanted to call out some bug fixes and known issues with this build.

Unobtainable Cards Removed
When Show All was selected in the card filter, a number of unobtainable cards were displayed to the player. The bulk of these cards fell into one of two categories; either no code exists which unlocks that card or that version of the card does not actually exist (for example, a parallel Holo version of Celebi-EX). The inclusion of these cards in the game prevented players from reaching 100% completion status for some expansions, even though all of the obtainable cards from those expansions were present in the player’s collection. Thanks to the efforts of a member of the community, we were able to identify all of these cards and remove from the game during yesterday’s maintenance.

Players were able to obtain a handful of these cards through various means. When we removed them from the game, we ran a script that replaced them with correct version of the card. This script took several hours to run. Alter the contents of custom decks would have added many more hours to this process, so we felt it best to omit this step. Unfortunately, this means that some players may find that they have to manually add the replaced cards back into their decks before they can be used.

NOTE: The non-holo Venomoth from the Verdant Frost theme deck was mistakenly removed from the game, making that deck ineligible for every Play Type. We are working to correct the issue.

Missing Beta Rewards
As discussed in this thread, players who had participated in the web-based version of the game were eligible to receive the first round of Beta Rewards. With the help of reports from the community, we were able to identify a common link between accounts that were eligible but never received these items. We addressed the error in the script and ran it again yesterday, excluding accounts that received the initial wave of Beta Rewards.

Printable Decklist
The initial implementation of the Print Decklist feature has plenty of opportunity for improvement. We’ve already provided the following feedback to the development team.


The expansion abbreviation to the right of a Pokémon’s name does not match the official expansion abbreviation.
Spacing on the numbers in the Coll. # column is too cramped.
The decklist cannot scale to accommodate more than 15 unique Pokémon or Trainer cards, or 7 unique Energy cards.
Functionally identical cards with different collector numbers are not combined into a single entry.
The Basic/Special designation in the Energy section should be a check mark, rather than a Yes/No.
The decklist cannot be printed while fewer than 60 cards are in the deck, preventing players from printing a partially completed decklist and manually filling in cards which are not present in the online game.


Other Bug Fixes
The Known Card Bugs and Known Game Bugs threads have been updated to reflect the bug fixes for this build. Be sure to swing by and check them out!

EDIT:
New info from my own experience:
all cards you get in the packs you get from the starting cycle are untradable.

Does anyone else have to uninstall and reinstall completely the game with every new patch?
I had the same problem, but it's not too big of deal for all the great changes that were made to TCGO. I'm very happy about the additions made to help new players, despite the fact that I've stocked up on Catchers to trade. :tongue:
