They're very slow in adding content which isn't helping their tiny player base.

Gamers are, after all, known to be an understanding community when it comes to sudden changes.

Gamers are, after all, known to be an understanding community when it comes to sudden changes. The roadmap hasn't been accurate for months. But yeah, they apparently weren't planning to add anything new until they'd done 4-6 months of Early Access. A more professional outfit would be regularly dripping out new cards and heroes over this whole period to maintain interest and, you know, actually test out concepts and ideas.

Does a pack not give you all the cards it shows in it? I bought the Legolas pack with valor points but when I went to build a deck it told me that I needed to buy Hands Upon the Bow for another 3000 valor points. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

It should have given you a single copy of each of the cards it shows on it, yeah. If you were trying to get a second one in your deck that would require making the second copy.

Note that they did say they'll be giving out the second copy at some point so don't spent VP on it just yet.

Weird, it doesn’t show up as a card I own despite buying the pack... maybe I’ll restart and see if I can put it into my deck. Also, I’ve noticed that towards the end of rounds, there will be times when I can play several actions in a row without Sauron doing anything, and basically the only thing that ends this is when I specifically end the round. This is despite the fact that Sauron often has resources and sometimes even units that aren’t exhausted. At first I thought this was an error, but it seems to happen pretty often. What’s going on with this?

That's why it doesn't show up. It is a poorly explained deckbuilding mechanic. Sauron can pass for lots of reasons. He isn't a clever maiar.

OK, that explains it! Thanks. quote:Sauron can pass for lots of reasons. He isn't a clever maiar. In these instances it doesn't state that Sauron passes like it normally does, though. I can just perform a bunch of actions in a row without interruption until I choose to end the round.

Cool. I just picked up the core set and a few of the booster decks. It looks fun and perfect for someone who burned out of Magic. According to one of the guys at the store I picked it up at there is a group of people that play it, he just forgot when they usually come in. I will fully admit the artwork for some of the characters sold me on the game.

The girl that did the art is really cute too. I like her colors a lot. Despite her art being pretty dark it's still very colorful at points and the colors aren't washed out. Gamewise: It's a cool game. The dice are way more friendly than they are in Destiny and its very easy to "fix" when you really want to do something. The core set is fairly balanced though I recall the guy with the dolls and the one that looks like a Witcher are both not particularly good. The red head with the spirits is good and the Egyptian looking girl is probably the best because she has strong units and is the only one with a counterspell.

One of the ones I bought was Victora, the Harley Quinn wanna be who uses just Illusionist dice. She gets a counter spell too. I understand the general idea with her is to keep her moving, Her Phenioxborn power and her exclusive card allow her to recycle dice, and three cards that go back into the deck when used. But I am trying to wrap my head around how her creatures work and don't quite get it since they die from all damage. BigRed0427 fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Oct 24, 2018 |

Sounds interesting, I haven't seen any of the new ones past the first 4 expansions. Looks like they're up to quite a few now. I thought once they got gobbled up into Asmodee they'd get some better market penetration out here in Asia but the only thing I ever see of their's for sale is Dead of Winter. Even Summoner Wars stuff isn't available past the first bit of stuff unless someone special orders it.

Just finished the LOTR LCG campaign, and after some skepticism I have to say that I'm on board. The digital version feels a bit flatter than the tabletop, and I think that the loss of locations and questing has diminished the rich complexity of the tabletop game, but it's really fun to be able to pick up a game without having to spend a ton of time setting things up. I won't spend tabletop sums on content, but I will throw a few dollars here or there for hero packs and campaigns going forward. Is there a rough ETA for full release? I've looked around online but I haven't been able to find anything.

They're moving at a glacial pace. It's a good game but there seems to be no desire to strike while any irons may be hot. Steam player numbers are abysmal and will only get lower leading up to the mythical full release date.

I’m perpetually mystified by FFG’s product release schedules of a few rapid releases followed by long periods of stagnation. I think they do a good job with a lot of things, but it certainly seems like they have a few too many licenses and games on the go to be able to maintain most of them (let’s be honest, everything beside X-Wing) in a way that sustains excitement and builds an interesting meta.

I think they're spending most of their time processing valour refunds one at a time because they've got no automated system in place and keep changing their minds on what should have cost money. I've got something like 30k valour points now and I doubt there will be enough cards available to spend it on for 6 months to a year (and most of them will end up changed and then refunded probably, because nothing's coming out in the EA/beta period where testing and tweaking is acceptable).

I just realized I had a ton of palantir views stocked up that I forgot to use before they removed them from the game which kinda blows. I definitely haven't unlocked every card yet. Wish I got valor or something for those.

I'm just super worrier that they'll never reprint the 2nd LOTR LCG cycle and I'll always have a couple gaps in my collection. They've been "Awaiting Reprint" for like a year now.

A bunch of pointless avatars, cards I doubt I'll ever use... I did get a Bombadil but I haven't looked at it to see what it does.

Digital LOTR LCG was updated recently, including new valor cards and the first encounter quest. The cards are mostly pretty middling, but the quest is fun, including some more novel mechanics. I gave it a go with my power deck and died in the final encounter after Mordraur came back from the dead after I killed him the first time. I'm glad they actually updated things and gave a taste of what we can expect from future updates, since it kind of seemed like it was languishing for a while.

Now that it's no longer a free to play game they've surely got to come up with a shitload of new quests and heroes to justify the cost. Barebones won't cut it any more.

I have to believe that they are more likely to keep up with it since it's their first digital venture, but they've got to smarten up and make it more attractive for people who aren't already invested. What are the best estimates currently for the first full expansion? January? quote:Making it full pay to play killed any and all interest I had in it. I agree that it's off-putting, and I usually hate paying for digital content, but I have to say that the $5 I threw in for the Shire Pack has gone a long way, and I ended up getting way more satisfying gameplay (~16 hours by now) out of it than I anticipated.

They're outsourcing almost all of the dev work so cancelling it won't be a major hassle for them should they choose to. They've not hired a large full time staff for a studio, on their end it's a few designers sending emails to China. The first expansion is "on the boat" so expect it early 2020.

If anyone is missing any older cycles for LotR, I split up my collection and put it all on eBay. It was a sad decision, but it had to be done. Hanging onto Arkham for now though.

I think it's more that FFG was basically the only person making them and there's individual threads for all their games but GoT. I know there's threads for Arkham, L5R, and Keyforge (not really LCG but still).
