  1. part 2:

    as for the kyle picking cards at last minute issue. i don't think he really play test the cards. i know there is or is going to be a beta group tester, but haven't heard of anyone that is in it, so maybe that's for the next expansion.

    right now i really do think him giving in to our pandering / suggestions about a card before a release is fine. this game unlike physical card games can literally change a card when it comes out and that's a huge benefit of having an online game. the only problem i have is with people complaining about overpoweredness when it isn't true. having a card that is underpowered, i think, is easier to recognize. take for instance dirk saber or brutalis.
  2. to be honest. i have no clue. in retrospect it was probably really poor judgement stocking up on cards i'm not even sure i'll be using.

    for human hunters it's going to be near same as eladwen/boris decks for allies, because human allies are just that good.

    x4 blake
    x4 sandra
    x3 aeon
    x4 death trap
    x4 net trap
    x4 into the forest
    x3 night prowler
    x4 whatever weapons are coming out for hunter
    x4 poison and burning arrows

    i know it doesn't look like much, but my elementalis deck didn't look like much either but it worked a good amount of times. for right now there isn't much of a choice with the limited amount of cards. the weapons have to be playable or else archers are gonna suck still.
  3. Good points all around, thanks. I'm a little upset about the last minute pick for the Gravedigger's Cloak, personally. I thought Kyle's silence for the last week meant that he was busy playtesting the ideas from 1-3 weeks ago. How the heck could he have playtested Spootz's Gravedigger's Cloak enough to pick it less than 6 HOURS after the idea submission???

    I am curious to see what your Human Hunter deck is going to look like. It's obviously a work in progress, since previews are still rolling in... but care to share?
  4. okay, if you have any questions i'll try my best to help. just don't be afraid to ask on the forums, some might groan / bite your head off because of a question, but there are some very helpful and nice people as well.

    as for the hunter gear, no clue. i thought kyle had everything picked out, but if last minute suggestions are still able to be picked then I guess not. so right now i think he is just having an easier time deciding on the hunter gear than anything else, or he thinks that most people would want to see new cards for the heroes that aren't being played as much as the others first because if the mage stuff got previewed first some people are just gonna whine (like myself before) that mages already have everything.
  5. Haha, didn't intend to sound secretive. Just wanted to give us a chance to ask "stupid" questions that the forums have probably seen 100 times, but we might not be as familiar with. In case you wanted to know a good human ally layout because you don't play humans normally, or if I wanted to ask how you specifically were going to make a Hunter deck work despite my initial doubts.

    I hope Kyle doesn't change the Gravedigger's Cloak. He really shouldn't make a precedent of succumbing to the forum mob's yammering (ourselves included). Also, what the heck is up with all the hunter gear being previewed? No love for the mages, and barely any for any other classes.
  6. edit: saw that you had a part 1 to your continued, was wondering why there was a (continued) lol.

    yea, i actually picked eladwen too for the starter without reading anything. just seemed like the best cost/performance ability. from playing mtg. i was kind of shocked to see the blake/puwen/fireball cost to performance ratio was so much stronger than in mtg when i first started.
  7. part 2. first one was too long.

    and no prob on the deck idea thing, i would probably just post on the forum though to get more input, there's really no reason to hide an idea since people will just observe when you play and copy everything anyways. only time secrecy would be helpful is if there starts to be tournaments.

    also, been getting pm's about deck suggestions when people watch me play, totally feeling stalked sometimes lol.
  8. yea...gravedigger cloak. that'll probably be modified to make it more playable. i feel bad for spootz since he's even having second thoughts.

    the trading thing, yea, i don't think that'll happen. i mentioned why in a couple posts, but mainly it boils down to starting new accounts to abuse the system, and losing too much money for the devs. if they do decide to implement it i hope the make at least a lev 10 minimum to be able to trade.

    someone is running a semi decent banebow deck right now and weapons will really help right now. the guy i played against would've had me if he had anyway to deal better damage. but i also think that most of the weapons/armor cards are gonna be 5-7 cost. it's going to be weird to see how the game adjusts to it.
  9. (continued...)
    Anyways, if player-to-player trading goes up in the next update though, I could trade you the extras allies that I'll get when I pick up the Human Warrior starter. Whether I run Boris or Amber Rain will depend on how good the Warrior weapons are in this update. I'm REALLY hoping that Amber Rain's dual wield ability makes her the better hero, because running Boris will be like running a variant of Eladwen. Bleh...

    If you ever want to share deck ideas or anything, let me know. I'm pretty sure that I prefer Humans right now, but with a few missing shadow abilities coming in v1.24, that might change.

    Oh, and it hurts me to say, but I don't know if Hunters are going to be great, even after this update. I think they take too many resources and too much time to set up right. Maybe I'm not thinking it through throughly enough and and it actually does all fall into place during gameplay. Well, time to read the latest new reveal... hmmm... Gravedigger's Cloak...
  10. Yeah, Mind Control would be another good reason to be cautious with Aeon...
    4 Aldon & 4 Sandra are pretty critical for Humans. I played with 3 Aldon for a while, and adding #4 really made a difference! My human ally layout is pretty solid, IMHO, so I'm sticking with Humans and moving from Human Mage to Human Warrior after the update.

    (And yes, my dirty little secret is that I play Eladwen. =D I picked her for my starter deck before I ever looked at forums or cardlists. It was based solely on my knowledge from MtG. I guess I just lucked out and picked the top hero in the game. Even after the nerf, I think still think Eladwen is going to be STRONG. She'll just take a couple more turns than normal to win, that's all.) </aside>
