I'm back to playing this. IGN stanleypain.

Spent 11k LP on boosters. Was able to create some fun Exile and Ascension decks. Kinda mad I missed the drat pre-order stuff by like 2 days.

Man the current "meta" of using Overseers for everything is really starting to be frustrating to me. I really enjoy playing this game with my friends, in which we constantly make gimmicky decks based on whatever rares we just got, but trying to play ranked is an exercise in fighting nothing but endless waves of Overseers, Verore and DoD.

Just a little annoying to fight the same thing over and over, I guess.

I haven't really noticed this. It's definitely a good deck to play in a similar vain to Veroe in that they both can deal with just about anything.

Add stanleypain if you want :shobon:

Tried this at the recommendation of a friend, it's surprisingly fun.

Why the hell is it so unpopular though?

It's still in beta so the dev hasn't done much from a marketing perspective. There are still some fairly weak aspects of the game with respect to the UI and such.

For me it's hands down the best dTCG out there.

Yeah, I like it way more than Hearthstone. All it needs is some actual combat animations and some more UI polish, and it'll be a real contender to HS no problem.

Yeah, they really, REALLY need to get "UI Person" on their team. At least a quick contract to someone who specializes in UI design to clean it up. The new combat UI is pretty good, but the deck builder went from being bad to :psyduck:

Does anyone play this? I thought for some reason it was popular. Anyway, should I wait for an invite code before signing up?

I still play this regularly and never have a hard time finding a match in less than 30 seconds. Don't know about sign up codes though, what do they do?

I have a terrible addiction to this game and lots of cards. If you're just starting out play through all the campaigns and such to get a feel for which "colours" you like. Once you know this I can toss you a bunch of random cards just cuz.

There's a sleeper card called Avaraach has Risen, or something like that, it's a 12 cost card that causes both players graveyards to be put into your support zone. It's amazing to pull off.

You need a few things to turn them into power houses.

Yuan shi who for 4 mana can do 4 damage to everyone anywhere and gets exhausted for a turn
The dude that gives 4 health to everyone of your guys for 3 mana and gets exhausted for a turn
And if you can swing it, there is another guy who makes sure your defensive zone cycles and then everyone gets healed for 2 at the very end

Bonus for every chef which heals everything except for their selves for 1.

People have about 4 or 5 turns to kill you before you forget what you are doing and wall up.

The UI is a huge problem still, and the latest round of patches broke a lot of things. Wish they'd just hire a UI/UX person and get it done right. I can already hear Teremus telling me they are but a small dev :xd:

I've heard from a few people that the top tier ranked play is favouring Flame Dawn these days, which is why Noble Protector got the big ole nerf. Something else I learned is that the "Last Sleeper" card from this set was indeed the last sleeper card they are making as that faction is being retired.

I recently made a triple purity Genesis artifact deck (Thanks Drinkfist). It's held up pretty drat well so far. Really puts a stop to Verore or Dragon stall decks nicely but has problems with Overseers or fast decks in general unless I get lucky.

Kazvall posted:

This game is solid. Real solid. I am so far up my own rear end with TCG nostalgia feels that I'll never be normal again. If you were on the fence, and have some time during the holidays, check this out.

That card feel is what got me playing and kept me interested. For some reason it's the only dTCG that feels like I'm collecting and trading cards. I know a lot of people forget about that aspect of the game

MrBims posted:

I'm a bit conflicted about this game. Yeah, it doesn't feel horribly pay-to-win like you see with moving up ranks in Hearthstone, but it does feel hard to shift your deck in the directions you want. You get a mass of cards after finishing the tutorials and campaigns, but the commander

Would you consider any other TCG (Physical or Digital) to be pay 2 win? The reason I ask is that one of the main reasons to get into any trading card game is to collect cards (for me at least) andto make decks. By that same logic MtG could be considered P2W.

I say Hearthstone is pay-to-win because the matchmaking in that game inevitably steers good-but-free players into facing overly efficient and game-changing legendaries like Ragnaros, Sylvanas and Alexstraza every match. Doing your daily quests in that game can get hard unless you tank your rating by losing over and over.

I say Infinity Wars is not pay-to-win from what I've played of it, but the three levels of rares and the importance that cards can have by being commanders makes me feel like getting a specific style of deck I want for free would take months and months.

I agree hearthstone definitely pushes you towards spending money to actually play the game/compete whereas IW seems to push you to buy packs because the cards are fun to collect, look great and hits that collectable bone. I was honestly just curious about the use of the term P2W in a trading card game mostly because that term is throw around very loosely these days as well as IW being one of the only dTCG that feels like a trading card game. Probably hits that old MtG bone too for me

Let's say for example that MtG gave you a complete deck or two for free and then you had to buy boosters, would that game be considered P2W? (This isn't directed at anyone in particular).

Does morale loss after having no cards left to draw not take effect if you are at 10 or less morale? Just had a campaign match where I was at 1 morale with no cards to draw for like 10 turns.

I haven't faced it, but it looks like it's vulnerable to transformation effects and things that remove cards from play. If you're pure GI, I think your only options are holding him off with anomalies and mass shifts, stealing him with Zuza or removing him from the game with the calamity or an ethereal fusion.

Something like Humble or whatever the name of that card is that basically wipes the text on the card + assassinate, or Siren to take control of it yourself

I get what he's saying though. You expect the player to do something based on the deck but they're a new player so they do something so very unintuitive it fucks with your game flow.

I need to pay for a banner ad because my hatred of Blizzard knows no bounds. gently caress Hearthstone. Those people don't know what good card games are. Collecting, Building, Testing, Building, Playing original decks.

When you are limited to about 10 decks that you can make that work then you don't have a card game.

We need to play this some more, and soon. Probably before you get unprobated :laugh:

You only should by a premade deck if there are a number of cards you want from it since the cards you get from that are static.

Yeah the game throws a lot of cards at you for not a lot of time investment. More than enough to see if you want to collect more cards or not

Drink, we need to play some cards again soon when we're done playing other bad games.

I think I remember why I stopped playing now. There's still way too many weird interactions with cards. Just lost a rift run because primal rage wouldn't let the character survive from a number of different effects (including direct damage abilities). Still ended up getting a 50 pack pre order in because I have an addiction to TCGs

Most card shops dont deal in non premium commons / uncommons from what I can tell.

Yea this game has some off beat interactions but once you learn them it gets a bit easier. Primal rage only stops one death although I think the language on it is vague and makes it sound like its unkillable. It also only applies to that turn. I also think it doesn't stop combat damage so if you send it against something that can kill it it still dies.

Pretty sure the card shop had at least 2 of the cards you're looking for AND the guys says if you want some common/uncommon cards to email him for details

.

Primal rage has certainly stopped a) combat damage b) insta kill effects before, it's just very inconsistent on how it chooses to do so and for which kill effects it works with and the order of said effects ;p
