Since codes are about to go out I suppose this is my last chance to see if anyone wants to trade their pro player tier for my dungeon crawler tier. Anyone interested? Or sell it to me, that works too.

I just realized - the switch to closed beta is going to delete all our saved decks, isn't it? I guess it would have to.

If you have some decklists you want to save, you can put decks together over on this site. http://hex.tcgbrowser.com/ I also won a draft tournament last night with a Sapphire/Diamond deck that had zero rares, no huge bombs, and only one piece of hard removal, just lots of really good efficient troops and a few tricks. http://hex.tcgbrowser.com/#!/deck=5847 Sacrificial Toast fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Apr 19, 2014 |

Pretty interesting they decided to go the code route for kickstarter rewards. I might just sit on my Grand King code and see how things play out over the next few months. I definitely want to try PVE first, real life is getting in the way and that Grand King money could be used elsewhere.

Or sell it to me, that works too. I am actually thinking of trying to upgrade from pro tier to Grand King. I love this game and I want all the goodies. My problem is I don't know of any good way to securely make purchases like that.

I hadn't actually looked at the card rarities till just now; looks like there are a few legendaries (pack raptor, fist, wrenlocke) that I'd assumed were simple rares. The upside is that Pack Raptors at least were kickstarter rewards, so there should be a fair few floating around from that; Grand Kings will have three of 'em.

So it's only a few days until closed beta, I wonder how long until open beta? I've said previously things weren't ready but I'll admit they have come a long way in a short amount of time - but is it enough for the general public to be happy spending real monies on draft? Also: new avatar check

Man, I hope it's soon, I really want to check this out  edit: Open beta has meant "release with some free reign to gently caress up or change things up" for a while now, so I can totally see them opening the gates to get more people playing and paying.

There will be an auction house that you can buy stuff from in game, and you can sometimes find people willing to sell their KS reward packs, otherwise no, you're almost a year too late.

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing them staying in closed beta for very long. The real question is how long till the PvE content.

The impression I've gotten is that PVE is pretty far along internally, they just want to release it all at once, with a little bit in beta for testing purposes. Also seems to me like the very maximum possible duration of closed beta is 3 months. Cory said in the recent interview that they wanted to release a new set every ~3 months, and that the clock starts ticking for Set 2 as soon as they start charging money (i.e. closed beta). I can't imagine them releasing a whole new set before they open it up to everyone.

I think he also said though that the timing of Set 1 + Set 2 would be wonky; we won't start getting regular 3 month sets until Set 3

Yeah, me too. What's a little more surprising is that it still seems in retrospect like it was a (relatively) good idea, as far as blowing that much money on a game can be a good idea (i.e., not actually a good idea). The prospect of opening the packs actually has me a little nervous. Big money, no whammies! Are we going to move this thread to the main games forum when open beta hits? Organize a guild?

Grim posted:But where did the consensus end up in regards to the correct way to cook / eat a steak... Soy products are delicious, healthy, and avoid controversial topics such as which sauce is good on which steaks! For the record, I am willing to pay money for Hex right now. I don't think I'm the only one. Mostly though, I'm waiting for asynchronous sealed. Those are the tournaments I'm really willing to spend cash on. I'll probably do one of those a week every week once they come out. Life is just too unstable for me to be able to dedicate 4-6 hours to a tournament in one sitting.

Yeah I was gonna make Hexagoons. I think that had the most backing. also, re: steak rare-medium rare Once you can pay to play the game, I believe we can move the thread to the main games section. I'll have a new OP for the occasion. EDIT: has anyone heard anything about merging accounts? I opened a ticket on their website, but I haven't heard anything back (I have a Grand King and a Pro that I really want to slap together).

I opened a ticket to have the email address on my account changed and it was responded to by the same person; I mentioned that I had multiple accounts and they asked for those details too - it wasn't clear if they planned on combining them so I asked specifically if we were going to get codes to redeem via the in-game Shop or what have you, just waiting on a reply...

What doesn't stack is the one year of Weekly Free Drafts that was added to each of the non-Pro Player $250 dollar tiers. Anyone already receiving 1 or more Weekly Free Drafts for life could not receive that bonus through account merging, and no one could get it twice by purchasing 2 non-Pro Player $250 tiers. Kickstarter Page posted:Note that we added 1 free booster draft a week for 1 year per account to the Dungeon Crawler, Raid Leader, Guild Master, and Collector tiers!

Since the Grand King is ALL the tier bonuses from that rank and the pro's only bonus if the draft a week for life, those should still stack.

So now that Hex is heading for beta does that mean the thread gets to go to games now? [e] hearthstone recently announced a PvE mode out of nowhere that's going live later this year did cryptozoic say anything about how far PvE is coming after closed beta? I feel that's the next feature after sealed came out that will really get me re-hyped for the game. DrManiac fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Apr 22, 2014 |

Stack in that you'll have 2 per week forever, not 3+ per week for a year then 2 per week thereafter. That's my understanding anyway.

Yeah, neither Pro Player nor Grand King get the extra year of drafts, despite the latter ostensibly including all the stuff you get at lesser tiers. It's mildly annoying and it's one reason why I wish they'd found a more creative way to improve the value proposition of the other $250 tiers, one that would cater to the particular focuses of those tiers instead of just getting a taste of Pro Player's action (and that would incidentally also make Grand King and up better as well). But that's water under the bridge at this point, and Grand King's still a pretty sweet package.

Beta day, guys. Though, if the auction house isn't up, and we don't have kickstarter rewards, it's not going to be a very fun client.Blazing Zero posted:Getting angry about how people eat food is just as silly as being upset about video game platform choices. By which, I mean that you should staunchly defend your belief to the death. If I ever own a restaurant, if someone orders a steak well-done, I'm bringing them a shoe. It'll cost and taste about the same anyway. Cows are super bad for the environment, so if they're wasting perfectly good meat, we should all be angry about it.

I eat my steaks practically charcoal-like. If there's a small amount of juice I'm not touching that poo poo. I also drink rum with orange juice, and listen to Pink Floyd while on cocaine. (Only one of those is true) So wait, does this closed beta means people not on the kickstarter will maybe start getting invited? I'm not sure where we're at.
