==Cycle Mechanic Changes==
Today we made an update to Clash that affects how Cycle Decks work in extreme cases. This change was required because in these cases, these decks could negatively affect the entire server for a small amount of time and potentially eventually crash it.
Basically, the update today stops deplete effects from working after that player has accumulated over 1000 deplete effects in a single attack. We think that the limit of 1000 will fix the issue, there is a chance we might have to make this limit lower (500 for example) in the future.
Let me try to explain it in bullet point format:
*This is a single attack, not a single turn. Its just the result from 1 card being played.
*This isnt for any cards depleted, its only cards with deplete effects (like potions). Its basically any card that has an "On Deplete, ..." effect.
*Once a player has accumulated over 1000 deplete effects in a single attack (either as attacker or defender), the deplete effects of any further cards depleted will be ignored.
This change should not have a negative impact on the vast majority of our players, even the ones that use cycle decks. Hundreds of thousands of battles are done every day, a scenario where this change would take affect would likely only happen once or twice a day.
We hope this helps answer any questions about anything weird you might see and save any bug reports. This change was absolutely required for the health of the game, we felt this had the smallest negative impact giving the possible solutions. As always, please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
