Some Zero posted:As someone who just started playing g hearthstone I unlocked all the basics but can't build the decks because I'm missing missing cards. What packs should I be buying basic or the gnome packs? I wrote a beginner's guide on page 5. But go gvg first. The common and rare mech cards are very powerful and every class can do an aggressive low cost mech deck. Though mages do the deck best. Honestly though you should be doing arena with the help of guides to make the best deck. Arena is the best way to earn cards for free and it gives you a place to play on level playing field.

Drone posted:Can you post links to those budget decks you mentioned? I'm googling for stuff like "mech Mage" and getting like 20 different decks with that description. The hearthstone theard is a better place for this but: Cog master x2 Mechincal gnome x2 Mech warper x2 Mirco machine x2 Unstable portal x2 Frostbolt x2 Flame cannon x2 Annoy-o-tron x2 Spider mech x2 Harvest golem x2 Arcane intellect Piloted shredder x2 Mechanical yeti x2 Kezan mystic Fireball x2 Goblin blastmage x2 Mulligan for one mana minions and two mana minions. Toss any spells or 3+ cost cards. Shwqa fucked around with this message at 10:20 on Apr 19, 2015 |

wall monitor posted:Hi! I've just switched over from iphone to android. If you got a samsung you can download their "free app" app and use the free trial to get: Dungeon villlage Game developers story Machinarium Then the amazon app has a free daily app. After that I went for Pocket knights and hearthstone for my f2p fix. I know I sound like the worst gamer, but my ipad already has all the premium apps I want. Shwqa fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Apr 20, 2015 |

Frogmanv2 posted:Jesus, just updated and they cranked the difficulty up too high. Doubled the hp in villain siege, and added more bomb bots. Can barely scratch the first boss now. This is the cycle of all f2p mobile marvel games. They make a decent game that is a bit too grindy but not impossible. People play it because it's fun being a super hero. Then they patch the game to make impossible to have fun and then the game goes into a slow death spiral only surviving so long because of its name. We are still in the Howard the duck phase for marvel f2p games.

Cocks Cable posted:Regarding Knights of Pen and Paper 2, what unlockable stuff have you found so far? I prefer to unlock everything as fast as possible and then start over with a new game with all of the options. From the beginning you can unlock two unique items, another person, and warlock. ninjais the only i have unlocked through quest and im around level 16. It also an amazing class. Paladin is pretty meh. But combined with rogue they are wrecking up the place.

Baldbeard posted:A good KoP&P2 combo is mage and thief. I found paladin's weakness debuff last lot longer than burn. It is not usually to have an enemy with weakness for 4 turns. While thief just murders everyone. I specced my mage for lightning and ice because those deal massive damage. And yes warrior is crazy good. Deals great damage all day long and has passive +threat. Ninja is pretty great too. A group stun that works most of the time just destroys random mobs. And for bosses you got the +critical and triple hit ability. And it seems the wound on critcal is an unblockable debuff.

Knights of pen and paper 2 is fun, but all the cool cutesy poo poo like debuff and dot are loving awful. I tried making a ninja who used the +critical skill and its wound on critical passive while stacking all critical equipment. And the results were terrible. Not even the weakest mobs were affected. A took that ninja gave them a big loving hammer and went all in on the triple attack ability. Oh look now the ninja nearly 1 hit kos enemies with a decent chance of stunning. And the paladin weakness and then rogue fan of knives is good. But working less often now because it seems resistances are scaling faster than the weakness skill. I'll probably just end up going a full ham team with cleric and call it a day.

Julet Esqu posted:
Honestly as bad as it seems. Items on the ground stay for 24 hours, like driftwood and claims. Fish stay for 8 hours. And anything you "craft" (this includes apples and berries) stay forever. And you can build a warehouse fairly quickly which gives you an extra 25 slots. And they give out premium currency pretty often now. I stopped playing months ago but i had something like 75 slots in my warehouse. And I had full premium clothing for me and my crew, including my dog. The best boat. And every root cleared out. The only i couldn't afford was town decorations. I made a how to play guide on the ios gaming thread. I can find it after work. Shwqa fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Jun 2, 2015 |

Mourning Due posted:Awesome! Have never played this and have always wanted to. Nope it is an old playston game remade into a psp version. And this is the port of the psp version. Also read the before I play. It is a complex game that doesn't have many of the quality of life improvements of newer games. And for the love of god don't ask goons for tips on the game. They will fill up the next 2 pages on every complex detail on how to break the game.

vulturesrow posted:So torn on FFT. I have FFT on my PS1 that I still bust out from time to time. I also have the DS version. Based on that alone you would think it's a no brainer but I'm worried it might be a lovely port. Need some more goon reviews, stat. The good: The translation is way way better. There are cut scene moves. There are two new class. The bad: Most classes require an extra class levels to unlock. The english ps1 was made less grindy than the Japanese version. This version has the Japanese grind. The two new classes require an insane amount of grinding. Like you could make a new save and casually beat the game multiple times in the times it takes to unlock dark knight. And onion knight needs you to master almost every class to be useful.

1337kutkufan6969 posted:I want to pick it up for my G3, but I haven't had a chance yet. The screen size should be perfect since it's at least as big as the psp screen with much better resolution too. Plus, since it's turn based, the controls should be mostly forgiving of you make errors. I'm excited to grab it. I personally won't mind faster animations since it will keep the pace up. I only have experience with the ios version. But I found it much easier to use the control if you dragged your finger along the screen instead of pressing the screen. The game with follow your finger and highlight the action you are hovering over and releasing your finger from the screen will select the action.

Speaking of surveys I had a super specific question. "In the past week have you gone to a outdoor 24 hour dive-in theater?" The dive in theater I went to is only open at nights. I'm not really sure how that would work during the day.

Kheldarn posted:It seems to be getting mixed reviews in the iOS Games thread. Mostly negative. It starts out kinda fun. But you basically do everything in the first hour. And it gets very buggy and energy intensive the more vault dwellers you get. So you start using up more battery life and lose more progess as the game goes on. Until it is an unplayable mess.

delfin posted:The Arena is a decent source of regular keys if you can run the table consistently. Ignore the "buy your team" prompt at the end because it's a ridiculous number of gems. The guild task that gives six keys is also a lucrative source. Magic keys are an option for your gems -- a guaranteed Ultra Rare can be decent, though drawing an Epic from one is a disappointment -- but I'm switching to saving mine for a costume as I've gotten one Legendary from a double handful of Magics. High end cards come when they come. Guild task seem like a best way to go. The highest level task is 6 keys for everyone at the cost of 33k gold. 30 people, the guild member limit, need to put in 1,100 gold to get them keys. And if you are in a max ranked guild your daily login is 1000 gold plus kingdom gold. Just find a high rank public guild. I don't if you can look up guilds but i am in "OMG shoes" which has a few whales keeping me rolling in keys. And there is about 6 spots left.

I have been trying to switch up my team in gems of war but so far my go to is: Web spinner 15 blue green 2 damage and poison to the enemy team and makes 10 green gems. Valkryrie 10 red yellow to change any color to blue. Lady sapphira for brown yellow and true damage The hero with this week's purple weapon. The strategy is to power up webspinner as quick and often as possible. He is basically the tanky, better, but more expensive rock worm. But with valkryie, webspinner can usually go about 3-10 times, depending on luck, before dying. By that time the enemy team is so wrecked it is a quick clean up. True damage means I don't even have to remove the armor at time. The hero is basically just a tank to protect the back row. Edit: sorry i mixed up some color and weapons. I haven't used my go to team in a few days. The game is so easy you don't really need to go optimal all the time. Shwqa fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Jul 22, 2015 |

delfin posted:If you're new to this game, save up 50 gems (at the rate we're blasting through tasks in Gem Boys, it won't take long) and get Dwarven Armor. Viking Armor for 100 for a Souls bonus is fine too. 50% bonus to gold is really nice because it tilts PvP rewards even further in your favor, it affects rewards from Arena, and if Souls are what you need you can turn excess gold into keys and then disenchant who you get. (Or make it rain on your guild and get keys that way.) I don't think those armor are as good as you think. They state the bonus only happens when you are on a quest, challenge, and defending. I don't believe it gives you the bonus on offensive pvp. And I rarely get the chance to defend. And I wouldn't do the soul either, you usually only get 5ish soul a battle. If you want souls the guild quest for it is the best gold spent for soul return ratio. Besides arena of course.

delfin posted:I can vouch that I'm getting bonus gold on offensive PvP, defensive PvP and Arena. A 1000-gold Arena run gave a 2250 gold reward. Just ran offensive PvP, "Available rewards: 453," cost 226 to enter, end reward was +698 gold (which is just about right for 453 plus 4-and-5-match gold plus 50%). I'll have to test whether the souls bonus affects Arena as well, but if so that's major. Well this is news

Malek posted:Played the hell out of this on the PS1 WAY back in the day and got stuck with... I think the encounter with Baphomet? When it has the main character go against him one on one to begin with. Never picked it up again past that point. A lot of people quit there but that was one of the worst game designs in history of game. It is the first multiple rounds fights. So you save over your only save file and thus create a point of no return without realizing it. Then the fight is a forced one on one fight with a fairly difficult boss. And you have to use Ramaz. Most people lost something like 15 hours of game play because of that. It was so stupid.

Marxalot posted:If it makes you feel any better, with about an hour's worth of grinding/exploiting mechanics you can have Ramza just one-shot that guy before he even gets a turn. FFT is similar FF8 in that way. If you know the mechanics, then you can break the game in the first hour. If not then you are really going to struggle. There isn't much room in the middle ground.

Khanstant posted:Anyone tried the Adventure Time Puzzle Quest? The actual puzzling seems to go so much faster, gems drop quickly, swap quickly. Almost too quickly since its super sensitive and sometimes does moves you dont want to do. I was enjoying it because they didnt do the annoying "give AI a turn on the board" poo poo I generally dislike since it invalidates any planning ahead. Then I pulled their slot machine and realized they're using the same lovely IAP model from Marvel PQ. Seriously one of the worst and most punitive IAP models out there. gently caress this industry. I have heard nothing but bad things. That includes on the game store. And the game store is a place where I have seen countless 4* reviews that said "game crashes whenever i try to play."

EvilElmo posted:Gem talk I say just level the units you are using to about level 10ish. Leveling up units is dirt cheap until about like 7-9 depending on rarity. A full arena run gets you about 425 souls which is basically enough to get someone to an okay level. You want at least a good enough team to get storyline epics and the week's pvp prize. Also rarity doesn't affect how good a unit is. Common units are really really good. So I would focus on anyone that can change the board, gain an extra, or deal decent damage. Keep an eye out for Valkyrie and Druid those are very powerful rares and they even work very well together.

1337kutkufan6969 posted:I recently reinstalled Card Wars and I'm having a good time with it. It's a $4 game that should be free to play (stamina system, gems necessary for decent card pulls and card storage), but the game itself is pretty fun. The cards could be balanced in a more forgiving way, and they sure as hell could be more generous with the premium currency, but it is genuinely pretty fun, especially if you can pull a few good rare cards. They also have a spinner minigame which can negate enemy damage and double your damage, so that can potentially even things out, but I turn it off. It is free to play now. And there are a lot of code that give high star cards and few heroes.

Gems of war talk. I want to see if that swamplash is any good. 20 possible damage to a single target seems pretty brutal. But entangle is a rare status effects on lovely units that share colors with swamplash. It can entangle but that means you got to use the ability before the enemy rolls the 1/4th chance to remove entangle. Basically the team is just swamplash and goblin shaman. Im unsure the two other units. Edit: I didn't see green seer. Entangle plus change color to green. That use green, brown, purple, yellow. Now I just need a red.

Yeah just play pvp. I get somewhere in the range of 250-900 gold per fight (then a 50% bonus). I have bought everything a while ago and donated something like 7,000 to my guild today.

The ai definitely takes to take your colors when they don't have better options. You usually see it when the ai is down to a single unit. They seem to prioritize your top colors. And skills do seem to have requirements before the ai uses them. I poisoned the +4 armor and cleanse priestess. She spent three turns on 4 health and didn't cast her ability. But once she hit 3 health she casted it.
