    Hi Capronissimo, just in case this is still a problem, the purchase button on iPhone is badly positioned and cropped in v2.01, but you can get it to work by tapping directly in the top and centre of the word "Purchase". Aim your finger at the top of the "ch" and with a bit of practice you can get it.

    Sorry about that, a very annoying bug!

    It is fixed for the next update yes :)

    Probably mentioned already, but since there's been some updates already, maybe not.
    The card Giant Urchin has text "Gains gains 1 health when another minion dies."
    Need to drop one of the "gains"

    Also, I think I've noticed a funny use by the AI of cards that give an extra power when activated such as Shimmerpearl "sacrifice to recharge one power". Sometimes, it looks to me like the AI goes about its turn, and then say uses up all it's power, plays a Shimmerpearl and activates it (to get back one point), but then does nothing with the point and hands over the turn, basically wasting the card. I'm fairly sure I've seen this happen a bit. I've seen the AI use such cards correctly, but I'm sure I've seen it waste them too.
    Also, it will play them out onto the board, but then not use it until another turn (this is sometimes). I'd only do this if I had too many cards, why play it but not use it straight away? Your opponent gets a better chance to swipe it if u do that. If you've got too many cards then fair enough, but otherwise, just keep it in hand until ready to use.
    This last bit isn't so bad, but I'm still quite sure things like Shimmerpearl get wasted for no reason sometimes.

    I've seen it do that too, we'll take a look.

    Btw, am I right in thinking that Spellcraft has the best AI compared to other iOS CCGs? Or am I just being totally biased? ;)

    We do have an advantage though - our Goblin Steve is a genius and as well as designing almost all of the game and cards also designed a full AI to go with it - when it first "opened its eyes" it thrashed me in its first game ever and I had a brief moment of panic during the game when I thought it had become self-aware and started taking over my laptop!
    (Too much sci-fi as a kid? Probably ;))

    Hopefully the new version will be out in about 7 days as we have submitted to apple. Here's some new art and some reworked ones.

    This is the first forum I've posted on. I've read thousands of course. I always tired of those comments where people were yelling....READ THE THREAD FOR YOUR ANSWER :D

    Syncing issues, page 52 and 63.
    Any other problems, email via website.

    Yup.

    Also, I wanted to say I updated my iPad 3 to 6.1 today and all is working well.

    Downloading now, curious to see if that will improve my crappy Wifi connection. Didn't find anything in the changelog, but you never know...

    I thought ios 6.0.2 was meant to have a crack at fixing the wifi. I'm still on ios 6.0.1, but pretty sure that was the story.
    Ios 6.1 should obviously cover 6.0.2 as well, so that should definitely help.

    UPDATE: First Wifi test with iOS 6.1 was rather negative:
    With iOS 5.x , I always had a Wifi connection at my desk and in our smokers' room.
    5 tries each: At my desk, I do not get a connection at all (that was actually better with 6.0.1 , I upgraded iOS over Wifi). In the smokers' room, it worked on the fifth try, but with only 1 bar = bad connection quality (slightly better than with 6.0.1).

    Will check at home - where it is worst - in the evening.

    This is pretty much always true; whenever a game offers both single- and multi-player, the vast majority of the player base only plays solo. People don't expect this because the most vocal customers are nearly always multi-player, and they tend to dominate the forums (e.g. this one), but every breakdown of player data I've ever seen shows the same result.

    Does the amount of gold you get for winning a solo match ever change, or is it 5 gold regardless of level? I seem to remember someone at the start of this thread saying they were swimming in gold by level 15, but I'm 10 or 11 and still getting 5 gold each. I also remember reading the achievements were generous with gold, but I'm barely getting anything from them.

    Gold

    Hi Bullwinkle,
    yep I read this also before playing... but I can tell you I do not swim in Goblin Gold though lvl 50... you get some bonuses for level-up (20) and achievements as well as for winning 2-player-matches but watch out not to buy too many single rare cards ( which was my fault :-( )..I've had some IAP as well also to support this very nice game ...still many cards missing...guess they changed this a little during the time.

    best

    Gee

    I honestly cannot remember where I got all my gold from, except buying the biggest gold pack once (9€, 2500 gold) to show my support for the awesome work of the Goblins.
    And as you two put it so nicely, I am "swimming in gold" indeed. Specifially 21.000, and that is after a shopping spree of a few thousand gold.

    And I have all cards of all factions; and those that I use I normally have 4 of.

    Goblins, maybe you can shed some light here, if you changed the gold rewards with one of the updates (not that I can remember) ?

    hmm 60 per level (9x5+15...not 20 as I said before ) makes it 3000 plus 2500 for one big IAP plus some additional small wins for achievements and the few 2-player-matches I won...lets say 6000 in total....and : 5 more gold per game if you continue playing vs. AI...not yet enough for me to have the complete range of cards....far away from this - especially considering there will be more in the future.
