Eh, if you don't care about tournaments you can get all the PvE cards entirely free just by playing through that part of the game. Can't use 'em in most tournament formats, but you should be able to use 'em in casual PvP.

I am really interested in the crafting and seeing how many cards it shreds to make something. Specially if they make crafting cards that have to destroy so many legendary or rares to craft.

So I went all in with this game on the Collector Tier and paid my monies. Am I missing a step now? I didn't receive an email or anything with a code on it. I didn't see anyway to create an account on their site so am I just waiting for an email at this point? Thanks for any info!

cathead posted:Not sure where you got your information from but Beta isn't until September with Alpha starting a few weeks earlier, so sometime in August most likely. If you missed out on the kickstarter (which it sounds like you did) your only choice is to get the Slacker Backer option. After that all there is to do is wait. Did they ever say alpha was going to be a few weeks before beta? I've noticed a lot of people saying that, but all I've seen from CZE is that alpha will be a few weeks long, not that beta would follow immediately after.

Yes, Cory clarified in one of the streams that alpha would go on a couple of weeks before beta.

For something to play while waiting, DotP 2014 just opened up for Pre-Order on Steam, comes out in a couple of weeks.

And for those who don't know, it's worth pointing out that DotP 2014 features booster packs as rewards as you work through the campaign, which you can use for actual deck-building. So it looks like it's going to be a much more complete experience than the previous three.

They haven't completely revealed how the sealed decks will work yet, beyond saying opening new slots will cost $2.99. It's entirely possible you will only get access to 2 sealed deck slots without the ability to delete them and re-roll, which means anyone willing to drop a bunch of money until they get the nuts is going to dominate sealed 1v1... which would be sucky. I'm not opposed to paying for digital cards, but it seems way out of place in DotP where you're basically only getting a year max out of your card pool.

Honestly, the lack of deckbuilding is the entire reason I played and enjoyed the DOTP series. Being able to pick a pre-con and play against other pre-cons made it more like an arcade-y fighting game which was a nice change of pace. Not that I don't like deckbuilding, far from it, but it was a nice alternative for $10. Not sure this is the place to talk about it though, I guess.

I don't entirely disagree, though I wish there were a little bit more freedom in sideboarding cards. It's kind of frustrating to lose matches while drawing crap cards that the deck would be better not having, even without replacements.

I know its silly, but I can't help but think that Inspire is the wrong keyword - wouldn't it usually be the big tough guys who inspire their subordinates and not the other way around? That would make for a lovely mechanic but at least the name would make more sense.

Given they've decided to directly compete with magic online rather than carve out a different niche, I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing daily articles once the site is up--probably not as much content as dailymtg, but enough that the meet the bar set by their rival.

The beta has basically just let you pit two preconstructed decks against each other for months now. Although they recently upgraded it so you can buy more decks. I'm sort of amazed they're charging money for a game in such an unfinished state.

I don't think much of anyone else is either. It took months for the PC to get the same beta that was available on ipad. I got excited when it updated, but the computer on hard is barely a challenge, and we still haven't seen anything that looks like PvP that isn't on a local lan, nor have we seen deck building. What is also fun is that if the computer uses one of the 2 race demo decks, it has access to cards you don't in the same deck.

I'm really glad that Cryptozoic is completely embracing having an online-only game and taking advantage of that. Cards like Spectral Assassin, Zombie Plague, and Spectral Lotus Garden are absolutely bonkers and are great examples of things that would be impossible to do in a physical space. Really drat excited for this game now.

Black Tiger equipment explicitly mentions Ardent/Underworld, so there's a non-zero amount of gameplay implications for factions.

Isn't your champion for PVE tied to a faction by virtue of selecting a race, as well? I imagine they won't be entirely strict about limiting decks to the faction of your champion, but there might be some dungeons/raids that utilize that as a restriction.

I think the game fills a different niche than Hex, and I'me still interested, but the flow of information has been awful. They aren't exclusive, so there are 4 mono starter decks. And 2 demo decks, that are each 2 faction. Now the demo decks that are 2 faction don't have access to all of the same cards that are in the starter deck if you play them. If you play the computer AI on hard, when it plays a 2 faction deck it has access to cards from both factions that are not in the demo deck that you have. So it doesn't have exclusive cards, it's just that it's actual 2 faction demo deck has either more cards than yours or it's made with better cards from those factions. Let me rephrase, it seems like the 2 faction deck that the computer AI gets has access to all of the cards from both faction starter decks, while the 2 faction decks the players have access to, only have half of the cards for each faction.

Very big sales pitch, very light on detail*. But the achievement system sounds really well done. *new stuff, that is. He's going through a lot, just nothing backers didn't already know. Adar fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Jun 12, 2013 |

The game keeps restarting in the stream, which is fine, but I've noticed that every time it does, the champions are starting with 25 life. I can't remember 100%, but I think it's been 20 life to start in the previous footage we've seen. I wonder if this is a balance change overall, or if this is just for the E3 demo?

Was it a PvE or PvP match? Because yeah, for PvP 20 has been and sorta is the established default. The starting conditions for a PvE match could be darn near anything, heck it would be fun to try and run a dungeon where you started at 50 life and had to make it through 5 games starting at the same life total you finished the last game with.

Apparently every(?) booster has a treasure chest in it which has a rarity of its own and can be filled with goodies (gold? sleeves? mercenaries?) including possibly another booster.
