Duelyst Patch 1.84 – 1 Year Anniversary – Duelyst

#5

I say this is more of a fun gamemode/ way for players to relax in comparison to Gauntlet, as one of the major arguments with Gauntlet was the heavy imbalance between factions (with Faie and Reva specifically being the top ones due to their BBSs and cardpools respectively).

With this mode, players start out with decks and slowly level up to expand their deck. Also, I believe that this is an unlimited gamemode, where you buy a ticket to start a run with a different general while retaining the other generals/drafts and their levels (until the event/gamemode expires). These facts alone can make it more beneficial and a more enticing gamemode for players (in my opinion) in comparison to gauntlet. However, I can also see your point with player numbers (which was one of the reasons why Gauntlet initially was only open on the weekends and Wednesday).

For me it looks at least as try-hardy as Gauntlet when it comes to competing for rewards. Neither Gauntlet nor this is close to a real fun mode like Tawern Brawl in HS.

The misbalance is caused in a big part by their BBSes - now you can get even more support for them, e.g. build a pure aggro Faice deck if you’re lucky enough to draft more Rush minions and buff spells. I think some generals will be stronger than others in this mode as well, especially that few of them lose potential to draft synergy even more than in Gauntlet.

Could be, but you might as well lose if you lose x times at the bottom of a level or something like that. From business perspective something like that woud be more beneficial than infinite runs.

Is there anywhere I could go to read up more on Rift mode? It seems exceptionally fun but not as clear as I’d like (Multiple decks going at a time? Ratings? Will there be another competitive ladder? How many cards will you get in your starting faction vs other factions? What rewards will we get aside from bragging rights and sick replays of Bangle + Ankh shenanigans? Etc.)
New Bosses look cool too, do I sense a Boss Black Locust in the works? (rightmost purple-y/black one) :smiley: At any rate, can’t wait for tomorrow!

:mysticup: no happy abyss emotes :lilithfrustration:

#14

that purple thingy is definitely a Zor lol

#15

Awesome!! but why only during May?? And when will it return next? If player numbers is an issue, could do Rift some times a week and Gauntley others. I think that would be better than one month Rift and the other gauntlet.

How do you get a deck to Level 3 after drafting a Calculator WITH NO BATTLEPETS?

Super hyped for the new game mode and the crate quest! As far as bosses go, I’m going to say far left is a war talon, middle is a zukong, and far right is z0r. Also, more lore! God is that stuff good.

#19

I’m not really interested in the new game mode and, despite loving a good tale, I’m not interested enough in the characters to want to know more about them.

New bosses are cool, though. The AI is too forgiving, imo, but it’s probably very hard to tune that. The only time I’ve logged in in the last week was to fight the new boss, though, so I’ll probably keep that up.

The Rift sure looks fun and I will definitely check it out. I was planning on hanging out in the gauntlet anyway but since its getting removed for now it looks like I’ll be doing the Rift instead.

Does anybody think that that Z0r boss will summon lots of Mechaz0r!s?

It might be actually a boss that utilizes Mechaz0r!, or maybe like, have itself constructing mechaz0r! By 20% each turn and has no limit on it. That might be true.

Finally :smiley: I can’t wait for the cross-faction synergies :3
Edit: What’s the first boss? Looks like feralu or beastmaster, I can’t really tell. Hyped for zukong one tho :stuck_out_tongue:

#23

It’s War Talon, I think.

#24

Looks a bit wide… I can certainly see that though.
