LUIGI SMASH!
My optimistic side expects set 4 in March, AZ2 in May, set 5 in July, etc. Releases every 2 months, alternating PVE/PVP.

My pessimistic side still expects set 4 in March, but I could see them slipping to 3-4 months per for a few releases.

I hope not, though. I think they really need to nail a decent schedule now that they're out of "beta".

When we eventually have guilds and raids, will the Underworld faction be able to raid with players of the Alliance faction, whatever it's called?

I don't know if I'm the last one to figure out this type of farming run, but figured I would give a mini guide on bridge runs which is what I assume is the easiest way to earn all the race specific cards.

Every race has race specific cards that you can earn once per run:

*You get a race specific pack for beating the first beginner dungeon. After this is completed, you'll probably want to switch to a stronger deck just to speed things along since you'll have to do this up to 4 times per race.

*At this point you have to do the toad and chicka tame fight in order to get to the first bridge. You'll also have to do the first bridge quest as it's the second bridge quest that gives you your next race specific card.

*After the second bridge quest, you simply go to Ambling Mesa or the Underworld equivalent and turn in your quest to get your third race specific card.

*Optional: You'll get the Hag quest and both the Manti and Hag fight both drop adventure packs, so might as well hit those before quitting.

So for example with elf I got 1 race pack always containing Narissa, 1 Master of Masks, 1 Ashwood Colossus and 6-8 adventure packs depending on if you do the Hag quest. Those cards will change depending on what race you are playing. I think the race pack is the only one containing a card you can't get in other packs, not 100% sure but still an easy way to get those other cards.

If no one has any changes to the new OP I made, I'm gonna make the new thread tomorrow evening sometime.

Give thread title ideas here. Serious titles, though. Nothing super silly.

Anyone having trouble with the game crashing, like, all the loving time? Trying to move on the adventure map, crash. Click "continue" on the victory screen, crash. Phase change during a game, crash. Type in password wrong, crash.

I was going to do a reinstall, but I figured I'd check in first. If it's just how the game is right now I'd rather avoid the 3 hour reinstall.

Never crashes for me. Other than the absurd slowdowns sometimes, and one time the AI being borked and reconnect not fixing it (had to surrender), nothing's been going badly.

The only thing I've noticed is it randomly disappears from my taskbar, even though the game will still be running. I can alt-tab freely to it, and it disappearing seems to be related to alt-tabbing in the first place.

Not having mercs and no Spectral Lotus/Oak at launch is really unacceptable to me and a lot of people seem to be giving them a free pass on things like that since they finally have something to play.

I've already went through the campaign three times, overall I'll say it's fun. However, they really need to start hitting at least 3 PVP sets a year like they've been talking about since set 1 and would also be nice to see A2 out before the end of the year. Not going to hold my breath on either of those though.

At this point I am just happy they still continue to exist. I still feel like my $500 was better spent / better value for me than the $250 I put into Sol Forge (gently caress that piece of poo poo).

Alright, a reinstall it is, then.

Also, is there any content that's worth repeating on the adventure map to farm for gold/adventure packs? I have dungeon crawler and was hoping to make use out of it that way.

I also have DC and I made these notes for each dungeon. They are the shortest routes for each dungeon to the boss and the resultant gold. Maybe they'd be useful to you:

Tomb of rose knights

Devonshire Keep

So far my impression is that for grinding purposes, the arena's better than these newbie dungeons.

Started playing today, got some gold from the campaign and went to check out the auction house. Goodness those prices are high. So how do I go about getting some of those commons? In as Thizzlam.

Are the competitive decks basically all the Majesty/Crocosaur/Rootfather thing now? I've been working on a spider deck and have played like 70% against that deck and it's nuts. A guy just eye of creationed two 8/8s with speed that did 8 damage when they hit the board. It seems way easier to piece that together than to murder it all with control spells. Or maybe I'm just bad, also possible.

Majesty is banned in constructed, so...

Yeah, I don't know where you're finding someone playing with Majesty.

Wild/Ruby ramp is very viable though even after the Majesty ban. That said, Spiders are not very constructed viable.

Whatever I keep playing appears to have most of the same decklist as the Majesty decks. So whatever those are called now. But yeah, no actual Majesty. But it's far and away the thing I see most in constructed. Is there not a lot of variety or am I just not seeing it?
