Cynic Jester posted:I just hit 500 ELO with my necro deck, a few games before hitting level 6. I've lost one(1) games so far. And I'm not very good. I keep making obvious play errors and still winning. The amount of damage I've missed out on is pretty absurd. Meh, they are useful for defense. Someone dropped some pod that gives a 2 poison counter if a melee attacks, that sucks. Then again, they also kept dropping something that kept me from targetting their creatures in the row, not attacking them—lols. Then somehow I lost a match with 8 hp left, which was frustrating because I was starting to gain the upper hand.

Wow my Sharr stronghold deck finally worked right, 2 of those orcs that hit twice doing 16 dmg was sweet. I wish it could happen before I'm down to 1 hp though. And, people who don't even hit you when you have a stone shield up aren't so bright.

I know you're not supposed to use seals for consumables, but I'm impatient and do. If you activate 10 of them you get 10 free.

Does Stronhold have another way of dispelling magic besides the Spellsmasher creature? The hero I'm using has access to Earth, Fire, and the Air magic.

Placed third (err by 1 break point) in my first Swiss tournament and got an Emilio's... I think it just made me 10x better at the game though, I was turtling too much before.

Just had a match where I couldn't draw cards after a certain point, neither could my opponent, and celebrations also did nothing. And I would've won, because I would've likely got something useful in those 4 cards I didn't get.

Nebiros posted:I'm actually liking some of the interplay on the Stronghold deck. It's kind of funny torching my own creatures, throwing kitten warriors at blocks of HP after dropping Blood of my Tribe to make it easier to sneak some magic levels in. Also, the strike anywhere creatures really seem to gently caress with other newbies and Immolate just makes people panic I'm finding. I accidently put a contagion against someone playing with mostly enrage creatures last night. Oops. I'm still trying to make my Shaar deck work.

ApplesandOranges posted:Shaar is just really weird since Earth doesn't really contribute that much to the Air/Fire playstyle (Insect Swarm is kinda nice I guess). Kelthor just feels like a better fit. Yeah, I just looked at decks that use her and I'm not doing it right. They're all spells and fortunes with maybe one or two creatures. I think it's time I give up losing over and over again with her until I can build the right kind of deck. Starting with 0 might doesn't help in a non-completely spells deck.

Mr.48 posted:So are there many other goons who like me migrated to MMDOC from Solforge? If so, what were you reasons? For me personally it wasnt that there was anything wrong with Solforge, but its so far from completion, and missing many planned features. Meanwhile MMDOC is already feature complete, and feels like they really have their poo poo sorted. I might pick up Solforge again when its finally done, but for now MMDOC offers the superior experience. Yeah, I was playing Solforge. But the way the timers spazz out all the time just made me mad. It's like the programmers can't figure out how to make a timer that compensates for lag in the system. I was browsing Steam the day after MMDOC arrived and have been happy since, except I'm terrible at the game.

Nebiros posted:You know, there's something about using a Fireball to both clear a lane and kill off your own creature so you have just enough damage to kill the enemy player thanks to Enrage. I'm looking forward to unlocking the Stronghold card that turns any creature in your hand into a Deathseeker for 5 cost too.  Kat's Grand Finale is pretty sweet. You can also buff this thing with a blood shaman hut and have a reusable death seeker... (until the opponent figures out they should kill it.)

Finally broke 500 after playing since the steam release (3-4 weeks?) Building (throwing together what cards I had) a sanctuary deck instead of being fixated on only play stronghold sure helped. Just had a match where opponent played Immoliation and I played Monsoon, then I won with 1 hp remaing after saving myself with Avalanche + crushing victory with hero'd up cards + Icy Weapon. Even had to Blizzard one of my cards that he put Cursed Chains on after he stolemy Kiren and Blind Brother when I had 3 hp left. unbuttonedclone fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Nov 28, 2013 |

ApplesandOranges posted:Without getting too much into Heroes 6, the actual combat was pretty tactical and balance was alright, in comparison to Heroes 3 where it was basically 'pick Fortress against Castle? You lose.' Is there common lore throughout all the games? Any not-terrible fiction that goes along with it?

I'd like to know how people attack so fast... unless it's just lag in the system doing everything at once. And someone said that I'd "spent a lot of money on those cards" (in my santuary deck). I've only spent about $35 so far, if I wasn't so bad at the game I could've got a lot of the cards from tournaments.

Mob posted:I've had almost 20 years to learn the bajillion different creature abilities in Magic. Learning and remembering the nuances between a brand new bajillion in a couple weeks is not a lot of fun! Just right click on anything new. Or don't, because seeing people throw creatures against cards with ambush greater than their health never gets old. Axemaniac posted:When you are deciding if you want to take a mulligan, is there a quick visual way to see if you are going first or not? I can't easily see anything telling me that. I'd take a mulligan if I don't need a 1 drop if I go second If you're going first, the game is centered on your side of the field.

The instant-info about a card is gone from the bottom of the screen, what the gently caress? And my creatures with magic shield are now destroyed by Death Seal—which is a spell, which is magic. I was annoyed enough that it gets poison counters after attack over a Poisonous bulb, which is also a magic spell.

ApplesandOranges posted:The text clearly states that it only blocks damage from Magic creatures and spells, so if it was only recently changed it's more of a 'fix'. Not one that I like, because I really dislike those spells too, but there you go. I think I was just confused, someone ran it on my the other night while attacking with a magic creature so there was no damage, that's why it didn't trigger, not the magic shield on the creature.

Nion posted:Ugh, every time I play against a lock deck it takes me longer and longer to come back to the game. I'll hover over the shortcut, and then I'll remember the turn 4 instant-kill combo that takes 15 minutes to resolve, and then I'll go play something else. I played against my first Sandalphon that did some boring rear end takes forever variation this morning. I guess I'll think of more ways to anchor stuff, that protects against broken bridges and renewels right? Anchor and ambush... not much better than people throwing a Pao at a creature with ambush.

ApplesandOranges posted:I was playing a Kal-Azaar, I went first, and I had a bad mulligan so I had to not play anything good for the first two turns. I did notice that he was pumping almost exclusively Magic, then I remembered Kal-Azaar had Dark Magic, so I figured it was one of those Puppet Master decks. I faced someone playing lots of puppet masters (love that draw a car/look at hand Sanctuary card.) So, I only played things that weren't that great or if I could anchor them. He wasted a puppet master on an anchored creature too. Finally finished him off with Honor and Pao. What score do you need in the Jackpot tournament to expect any gold?

Another "I don't understand this mechanic question." I have a Forgotten Spell in my hand. Why can't I use a resurrect spell from my opponent's graveyard? It's instant spell, Forgotten Spell is used to pull instant spells... what gives? edit: I looked it up, and it won't work with channeled magic from creatures.

Mecharasputin posted:Is Ice Splinters + The Song of the Lost a well known combo? At four magic and for seven mana it essentially kills every one of the opponent's creatures. Annoying as all hell If you have a way to anchor your creatures you can negate it. I try to keep an eye on how high the opponents mana is going and prepare for a puppet master, tsunami, song of the lost, whatever that is annoying. If I see or assume that someone has something like that I only put down weak creatures if possible.

Well I got my 250 wins reward. And, I've never broken 900 elo, haha. I'm still bad at this game, but I have fun. Beating people who think they're going to win after running out your deck when you have Akane and a lightning bolt plus a geyser left after they banished your graveyard is fun.

Darth Windu posted:Eventually matches at the top echelon of ELO will feature two people trying to surrender to each other first, forever. I read here or on the other forums that some people sit with their task manager open so they can be the first to kill the program and thus surrender. Zzzz... I concede if I'm obviously going to lose, but you still get XP/gold for playing. Speaking of, is it worth it to dump all your creatures and spells on the field before you're going to win? I never bother, and sometimes I concede when it takes forever for my opponent to plan out their strategy on how they're going to knock out my last 1 hp with 8 creatures on the field.

I wonder if euro people have heard of it more? Maybe they just don't push it in the states. I don't know why, it's a pretty cool game and it doesn't need much processing power, it's a great laptop game. I wish I would stop fluctuating between 550+ to 800+ almost every day.
