So on sid's suggestion I went through the forge and sacrificed all of my extra commons and uncommons. I ended up with over 4000 shards. I mean it sucked but I just put on some show and went through it. Would highly recommend to any old goons looking to pick up more exos without having to deal with trading.

Just thought to apply to the GOON as ZanzibarHamster. Dunno how much I'll play with others in the near future since the 2 dailies are kind of enough for my casual self for now while I need the gold.

Also I keep getting different ideas for decks, hopefully I'll decide on something to start with by the time I buy my first box.

Thanks, but I'd rather make something up on my own, original or not. For instance I today tried a deck that had creatures with the 'swarm' ability, and I kind of like it, so maybe I'll make a 'swarm' deck.

It's great to have this thread so we can tell people who are interested in this game that it is basically impossible and probably stupid to start playing this game.

So, is this still true? I've just played my first match in the training grounds and had lots of fun sneaking faeries in my opponent's backyard and pouncing bear cubs over his champions to contest Nora fonts.

Related questions: which faction has more sneaking guys? And how does contesting fonts work exactly? Is enough to place a single hero in the capture zone?

namad

Yes a single champion is enough to capture a font, a single relic can contest a font, the only things that can't are summoned creatures iirc?

The game has a stiff learning curve but if you're already having fun then keep playing!

There are a lot of synergies for stealth within FS/UD/FW? and a lot of synergies that include terrain based stealth with SL/ST/KF although those are mostly sand/snow/grass themes not stealth themes.

The darkmarsh are a subrace of boghopper that exist within FS and love stealth. UD has a few iconic stealth champions but not much of a stealth theme actually. FW has a stealth themed BG that's all about stealth all the way through.

I suck at the game though so my interpretations might not be 100% on.

It was true when he said but only debatably true now. The game is under new ownership (who are actually the original owners). They've done some cool things so far, but we won't really know if they're much better than sony until the next expansion drops.

It's easier to play without spending money now though, so keep going if you're having fun.

As far as stealthed champs, UD, KF, ST, FS and FW have a bunch. The other three have quite a few too. You'd do best though playing the faction you like most and then worrying about including stealth, in my opinion.

I watched Yapo's LPs of pox and it roped me into giving it a try, I've been playing the tutorial and campaigns to get familiar with the game and I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm going to apply to the goon guild as Superindeed.

If any new poxgoons need runes to start their collections let me know what faction and I can send a decent package your way. That said, the current developers will be operating at a loss for a few months and aren't a faceless corporation so I can't actively discourage you from spending some birdbux on this game.

So that's why dropping a Garu Den Mother first turn to claim nodes AND contest the other guy's didn't work. drat you, Garu Cub, ruining my plans. :argh:

I have always enjoyed playing these kind of games as either: a) an underrated faction that gets laughed at a lot but can take other players down a peg or two or b) someone who can make an opponent go from "I've got this" to "oh, crap" in a single turn. Grueling, long battles of attrition in the middle of the map aren't my thing.

According to the OP, the first one is SP, but I'm not sure I like giants (haven't played the deck beyond the tutorial, though, maybe an all-bat deck is a better fit for me). It also has the problem of requiring being good at the game :v:.

The second one I've done with elves by conquering nora fonts under my opponent nose via stealthed/teleport units and turning massive behemoths into frogs. And from Yapo's LP, they can take control of an enemy hero and send it take a walk through lava, which is always fun. I assume there are many more options with other factions.

tl;dr: I want to be a dick. Which is the best faction to be a dick in this game?

Captain Farce
Jun 24, 2004

At the moment probably the factions most well off are SP, UD, ST and IS. They all also include major dick moves.

Exception made for SL Drakkers which are also crazy good but super expensive so I wouldn't bother.

That's actually most people's attitudes.

The short answer is there are no underdog factions, and every faction has multiple ways to be a dick.

I don't know if yapo covered this in his LP, but you can also run 2 factions in one deck (15 runes of each). That's definitely the easier way to build deck if you're trying to play for free. And this way you can have twice as much dick!

This is still fun, even if the Training Grounds are mostly empty and it takes me a while to find a match. EDIT: Actually tried Battlegrounds, won one and lost 2. Not bad.

I need a little bit of money in my Paypal account. I have pretty much everything and only plan on playing FW, UD, IS and slags if/when I come back. If you're looking for something from the remaining factions we can probably work something out, I'm sure I can probably beat eBay and just about everyone here will vouch for me.
