I just finished checking out the full spoiler list for set 8, https://www.hextcg.com/dead-winter-full-spoiler-list/ Set 7 was my favorite set since set 1 and also my best performing set, reached rank 4 pretty easily and would have stayed top 64 for once if it wasn't for the kismet draft. Set 8 is like, the complete opposite. Transform is now an afterthought, meanwhile they seemed to have triple downed on mill and deathcries. I'm also not interested in verdict or constant based decks. After conscript, I'm definitely not interested in anything resembling it like portal even if they think they fixed it by locking it to rarity. Going to be a long wait if/when we get set 9

User Friendly posted:Anyone have some common staple/gold farming cards they want to send me? If you can come up with some specific cards I could help out. I don't know a lot about PVE as I don't typically play much of it. Not to step on KatKilla's feet, but I too am interested in buying inventories or accounts. So far I have been having fun with set8 constructed. I haven't done too much limited yet. Also, they have free tournaments almost nightly that are ROCK format. Which means the decks can only contain commons and uncommons. Also, also the PS4 launch has seen a pretty healthy surge in player base for both constructed and limited. I think Hex is about as healthy right now as it has ever been imo.

Ok so current meta has like 7+ viable decks right now that are all trying to crawl their way to top. Mill is a competitive deck archtype and 90% of the player base isn't playing aggro. Comp is a wild west right now. Haven't had many issues with limited firing either. GET HYPED!

Did they ever invalidate Kickstarter reward codes? While I don't want to sell my account yet (even though I've only been logging once a week to raredraft my lifetime weekly draft for more than a year now...), I still have an unredeemed code for weekly drafts that I'd be willing to sell. They were good for one year of drafts originally, but I think they extended that to 1 1/2 years sometime after release, so it's potentially worth as much as 78 drafts if you play every week.

At long last, Hex is coming out with Siege, which is the kick-off of evolution from what was originally pitched as Keep Defense. Defending players can utilize any PVP + PVE cards & equipment, any champions and any gems in order to create a gauntlet of three decks; they then pony up gold or platinum as a prize pool for victors to try to take. Attackers (including PS4 players, nice!) must overcome said gauntlet with a standard legal deck, putting up a percentage of the prize pool as ante in order to attempt a siege. A portion of this ante goes into the defending player's personal coffers, a portion goes into the prize pool itself and a portion is burnt off by the system. It's been stressed that there is a lot of experimental and iterative material to be done here, but I think this has a ton of potential to be pretty darn fun to brew for and play with.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Hahah Christ, that could be wild, especially for folks with a lot of legacy cards. Agreed, I'm optimistic that if nothing else, it will make for a really entertaining new way to tango. Attackers don't get to see the decklist and don't get any reserves, so it's HXE's hope that it will also encourage players to commiserate and plot against particularly tough defense decks with big prize hoards. Cory mentioned wanting to also be able to utilize mercenaries for defense, which would also open up a lot of fun options.

It is a really neat idea. Might be super hard to balance a Standard deck going up against PVE cards and equipment. Some of that poo poo is broke as hell. But, I am curious to see how the outcome is. Hopefully it boosts the prices on some of this PVE poo poo I have laying around. It also, in theory, generates endless content for players.

Release date Friday! https://www.hextcg.com/doombringer-patch-announcement/ I'm cautiously optimistic about set 9. No RNG keywords and minimal RNG cards in the set. There are some nasty quick action tricks that are going to feel bad. I'm not a fan of ever playing more than 2 shards so that might be an issue, but I'll deal with it. katkillad2 fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Mar 14, 2018 |

Haven't played this for a few years, but decided to come back and do some drafts and stuff. So far I've 0-2ed a draft league, 5-2ed an evo sealed, and have a sealed league I started to see some of the cards that's been going very slowly because it doesn't seem like many people play sealed. Having a lot of fun, though. I've been having good luck with the blood/diamond cards.

If anyone has a collection they are interested in selling, feel free to send me a pm or give me an email address I can contact you at. ( Preferably large collections. ) All I need is a hex.tcgbrowser link to your collection and the first pic of your inventory. 2 more sets are rotating out, so this is kind of the last moments those sets are going to hold their value. They've also made a lot of recent changes that are probably overall great for players, but not great for collection value.

Wallet posted:What changes, out of interest? I'll see if I can remember most off the top of my head. *They recently made available some competitive signature decks for constructed that are actually a pretty good value and not terrible like the ones in the past or the Collector decks. *No more cash payouts, supposedly due to international issues. ( Not buying that excuse, the cash tournaments were never profitable for them from day 1. ) With that, they changed clash/bash to be a four round tournament that is actually worth playing now even if you are an average 2-2 player. If you go 4-0 you get 10,000 platinum, AAA card, AAA sleeve, Battleboard. You will pretty much always break even with a 2-2 record. *New currencies for siege and gameplay after you've reached cosmic in limited/constructed. I'm not 100% sure on the details on these, the new currency is for buying stuff in the shop. The big takeaway is you can spend cosmic coins on packs that have a 1/3 chance of giving you a booster of the current set. *They've also started a 100p pvp format that's supposed to be "fun" with things like giving you random PVE champs and their PVE deck to play against opponents. ( I personally don't think it's balanced/fun, but some people enjoy it. ) *Alternate art shards! Hex is saved!

I love Hex and the time I've spent with it, but I haven't had time to play since my twin daughters were born over a year ago. I am a Dungeon Crawler backer, and my collection is mostly early sets as I stopped playing around Herofall (bought packs from you a few times even). I'm guessing Immortal cards haven't held their value well, but might as well see what I might be able to get, maybe I have a few goodies on my account still. The idea of giving up my collection makes me a little sad, and logging in to sync my account with HexTCG Browser makes me really wish they would put out a tablet/phone version. I could see being able to play a little PVE/Siege here and there, although PVE content seems pretty stagnate as of late. Out of curiosity has anyone tried the new Steam Link android app with Hex? Edit: Decided to test out Steam Link myself since I was tinkering around in Hex. I have a feeling if my computer was wired ethernet, or at least 5G wireless, it would perform a lot better. But it was actually somewhat playable with touch controls. I wasn't able to get the double click gesture to work, but did play a round in the Frost Ring Arena okay. If you don't need to read cards, or have a larger tablet/phone, it would probably work well. Protip fucked around with this message at 06:23 on May 22, 2018 |

More than 21 of the artists who HXE hired have collectively reported having long, long delays of not being paid and HXE giving excuses until they threatened class action, after which now they're gradually being paid. AFAIK this is basically what happened in the death knell of the WoW TCG (which was also by Cryptozoic -> HXE) wherein they couldn't afford to pay the artists anymore before closing shop. Ouch. There's a facebook post about the artist situation here.

For what it's worth, at the times I draft, which is like early evening US time or morning/afternoon on weekends, drafts fill and fire very quickly. I feel like it's rare that I wait longer than about 15 minutes. But I only test this theory about once a week. Oh actually, the new experimental tourney types, I got matched on those super fast too. That was similar times, and I did each one 2-3 times to get enough wins for the animated back.

You are right though, those were firing usually within a minute. Last night I waited over an hour for a 1-1 opponent in the draft queue, questioning what I'm doing with my life  Don't get me wrong, as someone who has been buying/selling through Hex for the last 7 sets or so I would like to see them continue on forever. It's been nice earning a bit of cash for a hobby I enjoy most of the time.

WotC certainly carries some blame, but I think the biggest mistake was trying to both do the TCG thing and the PVE thing together. There's some serious anti-synergy there that may not have been obvious when the concept was first pitched. For starters, PVE really doesn't scale well to players of different collection sizes. Encounters range from dauntingly impossible if you haven't put money in, to completely trivial if you've got a full collection. Serving both masters is impossible. PVE was also a huge technical undertaking that sucked resources and slowed down the crucial early years of development (causing sets 2-4 to take 8-9 months each, which badly hurt their momentum), as well as keeping them from working on important stuff like improvements to the deckbuilder or the AH. A shrinking playerbase caused by content drought, combined with the abysmal AH experience meant that the economy eventually got hosed to the point that standard decks cost a comparable amount to MTGO decks, despite the packs being half the price, and that's where the TCG part bit them again. The prime directive of a TCG developer is to "preserve the value of player collections", which stopped them from doing anything about card prices until the 11th hour. Cosmic coins and the powerful new signature decks might have fixed the problem if they'd come a year earlier, but I have a feeling it's too late unless something drastic changes. I desperately hope I'm wrong, though. Hex is the best game I've ever played, and it'd be a shame to see it end like this.

Assuming we see a set 10, I'll be selling boosters again and will make sure to beat anyone's price who has packs available and is selling on release. I'll post in SAmart and send the few of you who bought last time a message as a heads up. I'm not going to take pre-orders this far out, just posting to say I plan on beating available prices and I'll probably have 60'ish packs available to each person who bought last set.

AFAIK this is basically what happened in the death knell of the WoW TCG (which was also by Cryptozoic -> HXE) wherein they couldn't afford to pay the artists anymore before closing shop. Ouch. Yup. I never got into Hex, but I was a serious WoW TCG player. There were 3 huge red flags in the 12 or so months before they actually pulled the plug: 1. A number of artists complaining about not being paid for work they'd done months previous, and the company ducking their calls/emails. 2. An overhaul of the tournament system, portrayed by the company as a way to make events/prizes more evenly distributed geographically, but in truth pretty obviously a major scaling back of both. From an earlier post, it sounds like Hex just did something similar. There was also an ominous lack of future events on the calendar past a certain date for several months, which the company explained when asked as "still being scheduled." They never were. Oh, and similar to the artists, tournament winners started complaining about not receiving checks/travel vouchers/any communication for several months after the event. 3. Grossly overpowered chase rates. This may have been unrelated to the end, but UDE (CZE's predecessor) did the same thing shortly before they lost the license: spiking the power level of new cards to drive short-term set sales. UDE spread it out across the sets though, CZE just printed a few Jace, the Mind Sculptor-level cards in the last year, one of which spiked at >200$/copy.

I have logged into the game maybe twice and would be willing to sell my account, if it is worth anything. The last collection I just recently purchased, I paid $207 for a collection that was worth "195k plat" in currency after price floor filters applied in Hex.tcgbrowser. 6 months ago I probably would have paid $500 for the same collection. So I'm paying around $100 per $1000 in in-game currency. To show how out of whack things are and how much collection value has dropped, I'm going to consider myself lucky if I double my money if they don't close shop before set 10. So rough estimates on the contents of your collection I would say a retail value would be $110. Unfortunately, nobody is paying retail prices so you would have to cut that in half. If you haven't applied the code for lifetime draft per week to your account you could maybe trick someone into giving you $50-$100 for that. If it has been applied to your account it's basically worthless, because it's against the TOS to sell accounts. You can sell the contents though, depending on how much your time is worth it might not be worth it to send the contents to someone for $50-$60 though. katkillad2 fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Jun 21, 2018 |
