Neraren posted:It depends on the card. The Ancestor Spirits only cost 1 and give you a card draw when played, so you aren't losing out on the card you would have drawn without it. At the start of your turn, create two [Ancestral Specters](just a bear at 2/2) and shuffle them into your deck.

Korak posted:One guy streaming and apparently only 4-20 people on the server right now. Interesting Blood/Sapphire deck. Yeah, you don't actually lose a draw, you just get a 2/2 flyer for 1. It's fantastic. If the spirits didn't have the draw attached, yes, you'd be right.

Biggest issue I see is misclicking priority will be common if it stays where it is. Probably needs to be moved to right or left hand side completely out of the way of clicking on it by accident going for a card.

Still downloading. Just finished Warmachine Wednesday, so here's hoping that the DL will resume from 85% instead of starting over when I get home. I asked my wife to start the install on my desktop 4 hours ago, so hopefully when I get home at midnight, that will be done.

Finally finished the download and was getting crashes immediately when trying to launch the game. Did the repair thing and it downloaded another 250 files, but now it just loads up a planet spinning and sits there. Welcome to alpha! The first 70% took me like 20 minutes to download and then someone posted the dl link here and presumably everywhere and the last 30% took me like 4 hours so that was great.

Just got home to download and gently caress everyone who is ruining this for me with no benefit to themselves. After 5 minutes I'm downloading 7 of 3376 files which appear to be individual card texts. But most importantly gently caress Cryptzoic for not planning around this. I'll stop being salty when I can play and am just venting, but I'm hoping they show more foresight into the realities of internet game communities and don't continue to rely on the good intentions of their userbase. It would be kinda terrifying if they took the same "eh they probably will respect the privacy of this e-mail and not share the unprotected link with every website on earth" naivety to their game security.

While it was pretty bad idea to release the download to everyone instead of just to those with access, it does seem Crypto's announced they're going to try and have the poor download speeds fixed by tomorrow's update I believe. What I'm worried about is that without enough people on to do the proper server stress tests quite yet, it'll slow down the releases for the next wave of entries. But I really can't complain that much. This is an alpha which we're lucky to have access to in the first place and having a full set to fool around with is worth the wait. Plus I'm at the DC tier so I should be in the next wave but curious how long for all the King backers to fully get in.

gently caress these assholes who are delaying their own access to the alpha. I just got home and I'm at 71% here. Thankfully my wife was good enough to start this download 7 hours ago for me.

Thankfully my wife was good enough to start this download 7 hours ago for me. Honestly, the people doing it are not the people are worried about testing an alpha product, but the snivelling sperglords who are expecting a polished gem as soon as they can download a client. I have a group of friends who all backed Hex (though none at GK like me), and despite them knowing I have a DL link [which I wouldn't pass on], they're not asking because they know they'll get their turn and that delays in testing mean delays in them getting to test. There's folks out there who aren't assholes, but we've got an over-abundance of the opposite when it comes to stuff like this. And I know this comes across a little pious, but it's because I recognize that every delay in testing has a downstream effect. Delays today, mean delays tomorrow, and so forth, and it just annoys me that a little patience would go a long way.

I was trying to confirm the game is actually running and I found someone streaming, he was trying to find someone to play and apparently there are only 3 people online total  . Meanwhile being stuck on this spinning planet screen taunts my soul.My only consolation for alpha not working for me is I did get a hearthstone invite a few hours ago so I guess I'll play that until things get sorted out.

Some Numbers posted:I wasn't expecting to get in before the weekend. At this point, if I get in before next Thursday, I'll be very surprised. I would assume it's a ways out. Right now the 1200 people or so who are in right now can't play. I imagine the $250 tiers are going to go in in 1-2 chunks unless they figure out how to get way more people in. King is coming after all of that. A couple weeks wouldn't surprise me. Hopefully it's not to long because a lot of my friends are at king, but I'm dubious.

Well, while everyone's waiting, there's a deck in the alpha client just called "Alpha Collection", and, well... It contains 4 of every single alpha card and 40 of every resource. It might make for a pretty hilarious mirror match.

 One of the streamers is talking about his download folder was only about 100mb up to 80% and then the next 1.9gb+ was done in the last 20%.

Yeah, I created a mono wild deck and played against AI, but it's not really smart. On one hand, I have already found a couple of bugs (Crossposting from bug forum) 1) Crash of Beasts does not create a rhino, but it does escalate! 2) Lifedrain doesn't work, seemingly at all. On the other hand, the following does work (and is awesome) 1) The 3/3 speed for 2 creature that shuffles back into your deck does become a 6/6 speed for 2 when you redraw it 2) Crazed Squirrel Titan is a cool card. 3) The ramp you can put out is pretty insane. You can go T2 Chloroblast or whatever and have 5 W threshold and 5 resources at the start of turn 3. This is not that difficult to do.

I'm trying to figure out a deck based around the 5 cost BB 3/3 that destroys all of your resources when he enters play, but my deckbuilding skills are pretty bad. Would he make more sense in an aggro deck to make sure you hit gas, or in a control deck? If control, I assume we'd need a good amount of ramp. Luckily, there is artifact ramp and Wild ramp.
