Walla posted:Yeah, maybe I should drop Beast and just do a bounce deck with him and Falcon. Mind posting 1 of your decks? I've never been able to get Dino to feel effective. Sure -- this is a very generic one, honestly threw it together just because I got that sick ghost rider demonic Quinjet variant. I really think you want Quinjet in any deck that goes all in on card generation -- it's more support than Devil Dino actually needs, and Collector isn't a good enough payoff on his own -- Quinjet is nice because you can drop it well after T1 and still benefit. Thinking about running Sera too because lowering a card's cost by 2 is IMO more than twice as good as lowering it by 1

Adding Sera to that deck gives you a free Sentinel on T6 w/Quinjet which can be quite helpful, especially if you get both Collector and Dino Buddy out on the field.

This was pure loving chaos. Lots of Cloak shenanigans. Got Sera on turn 6 after it was too late but didn't even need her.

Just lost 8 cubes for trying to outsmart a bot. Had the location where you can only play 4, 5, 6 cost cards. Turn 6. Lane is empty on both sides, bot had priority. Since they can't play small creatures, I throw down Shang-Chi in the hopes they play America or Hulk or something big enough to explode. Instead, the bot played Iron Man. Into an empty lane. ...that had Mr. Fantastic in the next lane. Doubles that 2, and four beats Shang-Chi's three. just fukcing, god drat it

Joink posted:To me it's a big problem. How you play a match vs human vs bot is completely different. Yet as a player at the beginning of a match we are figuring out which we are playing against. If I get the sense I'm up against a bot in full Akira mode I'll just retreat around turn 3 or 4; losing a cube to ditch the game early and reroll for a "real match" is frankly a better investment of my time/sanity.

I just had what I believe to be a bot, play Scarlet Witch, and only Scarlet Witch, into a lane to change it to Bar With No Name. On turn 6. After my only single card was put there (Dino).

For example, "I need this white tiger to leap onto a certain lane". It can scare your opponent into retreat and turn the expected value of your gained cubes from zero to a positive number.

^^^ I think it's worse than that. I think the cheatbots actively select the results of RNG. Their Korgs always put the Rock on top of your deck; their Thors always put Mjolnir on top of theirs. PJOmega posted:The fact the game has input reading bots that are disguised as normal players is ridiculous. The fact that players defend the practice is insane. It's necessary to have bots to inject cubes into what is otherwise a zero-sum economy. What isn't necessary, and is in fact counterproductive to that goal, is to have cheating bots that appear when your MMR gets too high to stop you leveling too fast. Those bots do nothing but take cubes out of the economy - and incidentally, cockblock players from getting the rewards for higher ranks. What's especially bad is that they turn up in high enough numbers that good players at low ranks cannot level further at all; even after losing four or five matches in a row, winning a single match can bump your MMR back up high enough that you'll start losing again. This game needs rank floors at 30 and 60 in addition to the existing ones at 10 and 100. Do that, and maybe you could even remove the bots.

Isn't the entire point of bots to inject cubes into the ecosystem? Why would they be playing against people and making impossible plays just to beat up players, what would be the point in that

If your ladder system requires bots to function, then it is a failure. Start over and build something that works.cinnamon rollout posted:Isn't the entire point of bots to inject cubes into the ecosystem? Why would they be playing against people and making impossible plays just to beat up players, what would be the point in that On balance, they still add a lot of cubes. Even the cheater bots are pretty stupid and not too hard to beat up. The issue is when one makes what looks like an impossible play. It leaves the player feeling cheated because, well, they were cheated. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Jan 21, 2023 |

I've always felt like the bots are there to hide low player count in the future because using bots on the ladder to give people vibes does seem like the worst and least fun way to do it

As for bots and population, I have been wondering about that. We're 8 days into the current event, with 9 days left, and the EU server is at 64% health left. Not quite the result you want to see. Maybe they went with a harder balancing to see if they could push more engagement.

You have to reenable it at relaunch though Bolded is part of the issue, as is the red notification that's still there regardless. I just want to banish variants I don't care about from all notifications.

Most of the time I'm happy to play out a game even if I'm losing, but when they snap on 6 I'm out. They would actually win more from me by not snapping at the last second. cgeq posted:But I snap on turn 6 to warn my fellow player! Let's climb this crazy ladder together.

This game consciously uses bots to introduce cubes into an otherwise zero sum betting situation. So we see more bots.

I started playing recently, I'm around collection level 100, and have been having fun. It feels like I've only been playing against bots so far though. They love to over commit to a lane that they're already winning. I wish there were more human players at my level so I can see if I'm improving at all.

You start playing against humans around rank 30 IIRC. You'll know when it happens because you'll start losing 50% of your games instead of 10%.

Never heard of boys until playing this game or I guess I was naive Don't know about Clash, but Hearthstone has bonus stars up to a certain level (depending on your last season's rank). So you're effectively getting 2-10 "wins" per win at the start of each season.

You almost never play Psylocke but she can rescue a moment that the other two don’t appear and go ugh-6-6 or 5-5-6. Doom and Captain Marvel to deal with the various “can’t play here” locations but Vision would be good or even Ultron. Sunspot for if you have to skip a turn.
