Feed Me Your Hatred

#75

I have qualms on Forcefield. Not so much on the trait by itself but in its design space in context to the various philosophy shifts we’ve seen recently - simply speaking, i don’t feel that recurring absolute damage immunity is a good idea when we’re already exploring the idea of megafauna (aka creatures with 9+ health). It makes various card ideas such as Deep Impact even harder to use, not to tell the general impossibility that is to deal with Kraigon or how it is/was generally broken down two scenarios: the card is designed to no-sell absurdly, sometimes to problematic degrees, sometimes simply to negate 2 damage (old Sunbreaker/Sunsteel, Zoetic, Sapphire). The keyword could be much more bearable if standardized for the latter usage method - that is, every instance of Barrier on something being basically an Archlyte Regalia.

And speaking of fauna, what the hay, CPG, where is the FLORA of Mythron? About time we see plant-based minions, no?

Can you tell me during which time of day you usualy play?
Want to know when to tech magesworn and emp :sweat:

#84

How about I don’t and we’ll say I did.

#85

I know of tiles (iirc Creep is some sort of moss) and Painful Pluck is more of a concept, akin to Ghost Azalea.
I’m mostly concerned with “where are my monsters made of vines, hunting pitcher plants and sentient shrubs”? Vanar of all things is hogging all the plant matter with twig people. The ICE FACTION INSTEAD OF THE MEGAJUNGLE FACTIONS.

Absolutely Despise some of the unbalanced force that make the game play overwhelmingly frustrating and not for the point which is fun. Feel the same with a few Trials. Looking at seven mana cost in Abyssian Faction versus seven mana cost cards in Lionar Faction they are completely unbalanced. All, or both, of which Abyssian rely on an additional trigger to achieve. Playing card for card is not realistic here. For example, Peacekeeper merely requires to be play to ultimately finish a game, where Abyssian, given many more eight mana costs, still require a turn of difference for game changing or winning cards and or plays. Hopefully agreed upon, people create and support games to enjoy them where success is sought. Main point being some of the game feels broken, as others have expressed, through cards which make the entirety of the game pointless. Cards such as Peacekeeper, Excelsious, Grandmaster Z’ir, Indominus, Indominus, Elyx Stormblade, Call to Arms, War Judicator, Mythron Wanderer, Lodestar (which just seems lazy in the subtext- “pull some things”), Grandmaster Kraigon, Juggernaugt, few other Magmar cards, Hexclaw (Permanent Effects), Gate to the Undervault (Invulnerables), Swarming Scarab, Pantheran, Aymara Healer (Create a 15 point difference or greater between opponent), other Vetruvian cards, Calligrapher, Grandmaster Zendo, Geomancer, Hideatsu, the Ebon Ox.

The parentheses are emphases on which mechanics appear to be broken. Where these imbalances lie, are within the existing mechanics and the ones which counterbalance. There are control spells. However, the lack there of in consistency is far stretched. I would love to see a future for this game. However, with the current conditions, the game tends to end with frustration, helplessness, and a sour taste afterwards.

I’m sorry, but you’ve just listed some of the weakest cards in the entirety of Duelyst.

@anjosustrakr It is the choice of the head honchos which make these decisions. Which means if they decide to not adhere, learn, or care to the consistent players who deem the game worthy of their time, that is 100% okay. It is their business to decide and run into the ground if they so choose. People make their own choices and surely will not continue efforts and time towards a game which reaps no reward for the clients, but only for the business. The only people who benefit at this time are those who invest real money into the game, like Yugioh. Buy all the right cards and there is “no way to lose” so to speak or to stay on top of a ladder, which has a large amount of broken steps in between the bottom.

I suggest looking at 2-3 mana costs in the same factions. You would be surprised. If you play Lyonar, I guess you’re just looking in the wrong direction :wink:

Abyss actually has some of the best endgame cards. Lyonar has no playable endgame whatsoever. It is strong at 2-5 mana.

The problem of Abyss is not in weak endgame. It is in the impossibility to reach it.

@halcyon98 alcyon98 You have given a very short answer with little evidence. Please elaborate? Peacekeeper is not by any means a weak card. Not sure what your comparisons are here. Some as Excelsious sure I can imagine being argued.
