Is there something before this clip that explains why shooting a dwarf with thunder is interesting?

Edit: Oh, I see. He's supposed to have a second thunder which he'd have to use on his own unit, but he clicks fast enough that they both are considered used, like when the arachys queen gets robbed of devours.

As with many mysterious and/or broken things in this patch, I assume the reason is they rushed it out so everyone could go on vacation

yeah, seems like it

i also really dislike that they pushed the patch during a season, so now i don't have access to end-of-season card kegs, and thus can't actually use any of the cool new poo poo. that seems really badly thought out and i don't understand it.

3 blue mountain commandos
3 mahakam volunteers
3 vrihedd vanguard
3 vrihedd officers
2 half elf hunters


if you like to see a big number next to your side of the board this is fairly fun
This needs some adjustments but I've been on a roll with it lately. it will probably never work consistently above 4k because you need a little bit of luck both in your starting hand and in your opponents composition, but if they don't have a way to stop trissbutt or the vrihedd recycling the tempo is insane.

malena, last wish and ele'yas probably could all be swapped out for something else. Malena in particular doesn't do much. I feel like her threshold for stealing a card is so low that she's out of place here except as another elf buff body

this patch continues to surprise me, doppler'd units count as ressed units for things like cerys, or the skellige unit that deals 6 damage when rezzed.

uh, so

turn three, my opponent has played all their cards, only card i have left is an aglais. that's enough points for me to win. i play her and see that literally the only spell in my opponents graveyard is a scorch that will kill my 18 point protector.

and that's how i found out that if you let the timer run out, aglais still gets put on the battlefield but you don't actually have to play a spell. feels like a dirty win, and i'm not sure this is intended.

oh yeah one of CDPR's community managers confirmed they're not gonna ban anyone who abused the current bugs in Pro Ladder lol

also he maybe clarified a bit on the season end/skipped ranks rewards stuff



it seems tanking your MMR is useless then

so now that burza greenlit using exploits I'm just stealing everything with emhyr + cahir and it's leading to some pretty hilarious poo poo (for me)



when i used his emhyr to steal the first gold card he played, he forfeit.

apparently it works with venedal elite so you can just straight rip cards outta people's hands.

Personally I think that is a tad malicious, but as you say, it isn't like they were handing out bans :shrug:

I'll just be satisfied once arachas queen always consumes three things instead of two.

nah burza explicitly said today that they're not gonna ban people for using exploits, so, gently caress it. might as well have some fun with this patch before the hotfix arrives.

also tbh it doesn't even win that much, skellige and dorfs making GBS threads 16 points on to the board every turn is pretty hard to over come. there's a reason nobody is playing spies right now...

Get Shuped!

Didn't really want to push for 19 this time around so I decided to tank my rating with this deck. Lost three games where I played badly and also didn't get Shupe, then all of a sudden, Shupe!

I hope they fix all the bugs and stuff, but I also hope they do something about silver spies soon too. Spy -> Summoning Circle -> Spy -> Summoning Circle -> Spy from Runestone, whoops you missed one of those things so you lose.

Cheese-Buyer's Remorse
Given that most of the exploits are just due to clicking fast, I'm sure a number of players have probably triggered them accidentally, and CDPR probably doesn't have a way to distinguish deliberate exploits from accidental ones, so banning people would just create a huge dramabomb and piss everyone off. Even if they only banned players who were repeatedly using them, it could theoretically be argued that some of those folks didn't know it wasn't intended behavior, given the wholesale changes and all the card description fuckups they introduced in the last patch. As long as they get the bugfix patch out quickly, it's not that big a deal overall, really.

There are currently several bugs that trigger based on clicking too quickly. With Emhyr you can pick up your opponent's cards.
