Questionnaire Fifteen

[excogitator]

1. 15 seasons

2. I played Scrolls and used to collect Pokemon cards. Not play, just collect, since no one really knew how to play.

3. S-rank

4. About one and a half months

6. All of them! Recently, I have been playing more Vetruvian, Vanar, and Lyonar.

7. I only DE when an expansion has just been released and I want to play with new cards. I usually keep all my cards, even multiples.

8. I would keep them, but if doing so will give you enough spirit to get a deck that you like fast, then it is a good idea to go ahead and disenchant them.

9. This is a tough one. Probably Vetruvian due to the time manipulation theme and general aestetic design.

10. Lyonar, though not by much. This faction has always seems too “fair” for me. It doesn’t have enough interesting effects for my tastes, but I do enjoy healing by a bunch.

11. My favourite current card is Grandmaster Zendo. It’s just the perfect blend of memetic and playable. If past cards were included, I would choose time maelstrom because… [ZA WARUDO]

12. Windblade Adept. I really dislike overpowered early drops and this one commits an additional sin by also being a statstick. Really, any of the aggressively stated one or two drops can fit on this list.

13. Anti-green

14. Everyone! Though, I would like to make a few shoutouts:
    @thefirstgokun : Master of art and memes
    @Okojo : Hiding behind a kind exterior on the forums, this mastermind weaved the tantalizing 7 sister riddles
    @Ryvirath : Awesome dev is awesome.
    @oranos : There will be memes
    @phayze : So much memes
    @maelrawn : While science has proven that aloe vera can be toxic, this aloe vera is one of the nicest people on the forums
    @akurane : I always thought that your previous profile picture had a fish on their head…
    @raqyee : We didn’t know how much was needed your sass until you left
    @dewize : I once thought that you were Kolos in disguise
    @seraphicreaper : A relative newcomer, this poster in quickly making their mark on this community.

I would add more, but there is a limit of 10 mentions per post.

15. Did you know that 15 is the product of the first two Fermat Numbers?

[stonedeath]

How long have you played Duelyst?
A couple months before 2 draw was changed.
(Not sure)

Did you play card games before this? If so, what and how long have you been involved with CCG’s?
I’ve played mainly MTG, hearthstone, pokemon, vanguard

What’s your highest rank achieved?
Diamond one chevron away from S rank haha so close.

How long did it take you to get their?
Not sure I was having a really lucky season with vanar

Did you (or how much) have put into Duelyst?
At first it was nothing but I liked he game more an more so maybe 100

How many factions do you play?
I play all because with different generals the play styles change.

Excluding extras, do you DE at all? (If so, what? Do you DE cards outside of the factions you generally play? Do you keep them just in case?)
Nah just extra sometimes I’l DE cards I don’t like

would you recommend I DE prismatics that are good but also out of factions I rarely play? (Case in point, some prismatics I have are DFS, Star’s Fury, and Reaper of the 9 Moons)
If you aren’t going to play them then its worth deing. I myself don’t like them

Favorite faction?
Used to be magmar when started but now vanar

Saberspine tiger

Blue
Favorite forum user?
Everyone

Do you like that I made fifteen questions for this questionnaire given the fact that the title asked for a minimum of fifteen characters?
Sure

[raviel1234]

1. ~6 months
2. played some yu gi oh on gameboy, singleplayer only when i was in school. Tryed hearthstone when it was on beta, didn’t like it at all and stopped playing after a week, bever regreted that decision.
3. s rank
4. ~5 months
5. ~140$ bought expensions, most of it went into my vetruvians deck, before they got nerfed. RIP vetruvians
   Still keep the cards in case vetruvians become viable again sometime in the future.
6. at some point i played all 6. Now i mainly play songhai, lyonar, magmar and vanar
7. i disenchant all prismatics unless i use them in my deck as a placeholder for a card. Other than that mostly legendaries only, the worst ones atleast, many of them are plain useless. Epics or below i find impractical to disenchant, the spirit they give isn’t game changing (if you have a viable deck or 2) and if you ever want to play them you will have to pay triple price.
   I have reasonable decks for 4-5 factions so i mostly just wait for extras to pile up before crafting something and just play a different faction meanwhile.
8. if you don’t desparetly need to craft something now, or think of playing abyssians sometime soon just keep them, otherwise might as well disenchant. You need a play set anyway and abyssians need probably 10k + spirit for a good deck anyway. 2 cards aren’t going to make a viable deck there.
   Vetruvians are the same but even 15k+ spirit deck might not be viable, so might disenchant it unless you main vetruvian and need the card.
9. favored faction would be songhai, very fun to play and often you need to solve a daily puzzle level field state, it makes every game more challenging and unique compared to other factions.
10. hands down abyssians, just hate everything about them, their cards seem mostly op and extremely easy to play. Extemely toxic with their 1 card 20 hp lethals on like 5-6 mana or ‘skill’ revenant spam.
11. not sure, don’t think i have one. Maybe repulsor beast.
12. DFC or anything abyssian really.
13. ?
15. ?

[crystalgears]

1. Since last summer. as I understand it i just missed the 2-card-draw era?
2. I played IRL card games, but not online stuff like Hearthstone. Pokemon, Yugioh, and the Neopets and Kingdom Hearts TCGs (neopets especially was a good time), as well as the one with the pirate ships where you pop them out of the cards and put them together.
3. I’ve hit S-rank I think 3 times now?
4. I squeaked into S-rank for the first time with facemonkey Vet towards the end of the month. idr which month that was exactly, but facemonkey was an era unto itself.
5. I’ve probably put about $100 into duelyst by now, and probably nearly a third of that has been on pure cosmetics. If you mean time, you’re looking at hundreds of hours. Which is why I’m ok with the $100 lmao
6. I play all the factions.
7. I disenchant extra cards immediately and prismatics when I need the spirit. I should probably save the 4th-plus copies of things but I hate seeing that “you have extras!!” bubble in the collection screen.
8. If you really don’t want to play whatever faction, DE away. However I put a lot of emphasis on building my collection, and if I don’t have 3x of a staple card I would not dust a prismatic version.
9. Vetruvian is my fave. I like obelysk decks and I LOVE their aesthetic. Tough it out bby, you treated me right in the past and I know you’ll be top of the heap again.
10. Songhai might be my least favorite. Partially aesthetic reasons, partially because the spell-heavy playstyle never resonated with me. Game has a board, fam. Let’s use it.
11. Favorite card is a toughie. I like Pax, Lux Ignis, Sunset Paragon, and high-cost minions that will never see the light of the meta.
12. I don’t have a Hated Card as much as I just get tired of seeing super-dominate decks doing the thing they were designed to do. Variax and Decimus into drawspam will frequently make me “ZZZ” emote you.
13. I have become enlightened. I no longer have a favorite color and regard all colors equally. But blue is good.
14. I like people who post the good content and the dank memes.
15. pls

8. I would disenchant Prismatics if I need spirit or am sure I will never use these cards (Prismatics I disenchanted include Pantheron, Rook, Arcane devourer)

9. Vetruvian!

10. Abyssian, those terrible monsters.

11. Stars’ fury. It has saved my life so many times and the fact that nobody plays around it makes it even cooler.

12. Punish for being to efficient for its cost.

13. I like red and green.

14. I like almost everybody.

15. Of course I do

[c2487233]

1. October 2015

2. MtG, Mechwarrior(best ccg imo), Lot5R, Shadow Run…any card game that existed in the 90s. Me and a friend would spend our weekly allowance at the local hobby store and buy starter packs for any game we hadn’t seen before.

3. D2?

4. 2nd month?

5. As much as I would have spent on a AAA tittle

6. Abbys > anyone else who isn’t magmar > magmar

7. Played only Abbys until a couple months ago when I had 15k+ spirit and nothing to spend it on so I bought a little from each faction

8. prismatics are ugly. I dust them and craft the non-prismatic versions…

9. Blood Siren

10. Thumping Wave is a stupid ffffing card.

Edit cell phone formating -_-

[tsevech]

How long have you played Duelyst?
I started playing very casually in May 2016, but I started being really interested only in August 2016.

Did you play card games before this? If so, what and how long have you been involved with CCG’s?
Played Hearthstone for almost one year, but I also played Mutant Chronicles for a while when I was a kid

What’s your highest rank achieved?
Diamond 3

I first hit Diamond in November 2016

I’ve spent around 70 euros so far (Shimzar preorder + RotB)

How many factions do you play?
I play all of them, but Vetruvian and Lyonar are underused.

Excluding extras, do you DE at all? (If so, what? Do you DE cards outside of the factions you generally play? Do you keep them just in case?)
I mostly disenchant extras, but a few meme legendaries like Paddo have been killed for the spirit

Would you recommend I DE prismatics that are good but also out of factions I rarely play? (Case in point, some prismatics I have are DFS, Star’s Fury, and Reaper of the 9 Moons)
Definitely!

Favorite faction?
Magmar before going full aggro, now I would say Songhai.

Least favorite faction?
I mostly like all factions. If I had to say one, I would say Vetruvian.

Favorite Card (for art, effect, animation, w/e)
Grandmaster Zendo, too fun to use

Least fun card?
I would say Spectral Revenant, it doesn’t make any sense as a card

Favorite color?
None

Favorite forum user?
I don’t have any, all cool guys here

Do you like that I made fifteen questions for this questionnaire given the fact that the title asked for a minimum for fifteen characters?
It was fun

[paralykeet]

1. Since the 7 Sister patch, began playing even though I was dubious about the kickstarter and gameplay I saw. By the time I started playing, the Bloodborn patch, retail launch, and 1 card draw were all done- and so I was less hesitant to give the game a whirl.

2. I played Pokemon and YGO in middle school, picked up MtG in my first year of college (2010), and started grinding FNMs. Eventually started participating in larger Magic tournaments as a passtime. Picked up Scrolls when the public Beta became available- but the development cycle was… rough. So I chronically put Scrolls down to go play in Magic tournaments.

3. Gold 8, I’m super lazy on the ladder. Should probably push myself to S just to see if I can, but I usually get burnt out during the work week- and only log in to be quest ninja.

4. I usually just experiment on the ladder and watch other people play tournaments.

5. Couldn’t give you an honest answer. There was a time when I put like $20 a week into it as a passtime, because I haven’t gone to FNM since last year- and I got burnt out on Hearthstone

6. Everything except for Magmar. Made a f2p account to try grinding out Magmar- but the games were far too swingy to enjoy

7. I used to DE all of my Magmar cards and (most) battle pets. Sortof stopped doing that since I completed my Vetruvian, Lyonar and Abyssian playsets

8. Prismatics are the best DE choices if you don’t have cards you need to build decks that you want to play.

9. Vetruvian

10. Magmar

11. Nimbus

12. Flash Reincarnation/ Darkfire Sacrifice. Most cards in the game are able to be fixed through changing numbers- moxen speed mana manipulation keepers rearing it’s ugly head as the cardpool expands. Honorable mentions: Saberspine Tiger, Chrysalis Burst, Reaper of the Nine Moons, Mind Steal, Metamorphosis and Enfeeble.

13. Stark white (if you’re edgy enough you could argue that this means every color is my favorite.) Also a fan of muted oranges, greens and blues (I find over-saturated colors are best used sparingly)

14. @maelrawn - Never under the impression that he thinks I’m the most annoying forum user here xD
    @excogitator - We go back to The Think Tank
    @whyb0t - Because I’m always under the impression that he finds me supremely annoying- It’s endearing in a strange way

I genuinely like almost everybody who is a regular though, and am honored to be on @seraphicreaper’s list

15. Yes, but only 2/3 Fermat numbers I actively recall. A quick google search just made me realize that 3, 5, and 17 aren’t the only Fermat numbers Can’t say that I honestly have many prime numbers memorized, or outside of probability/combinatory/permutative figures, I’ve thought much about factorial calculation.

Fun fact: People who misuse the word “permutation”, when they mean “combination” irritate me to no end. It might sound like a dumb thing to get pedantic about, but I’ve had to outright close tabs on some of Scarzig’s videos because the difference between a combination and permutation is lost on him.

[isgopet]

1. Since October Reva, though I quit until the Bloodborn Expansion.
2. No.
3. 17
4. About a week, I really should ladder more.
5. None.
6. Kinda Abyssian, but mostly Lyonar and Songhai
7. Bad cards mostly, or ones I won’t use.
8. Only DE prismatics of playsets.
9. Songhai
10. Vanar
11. Ironcliffe Golem, its the biggest monkey wrench in the game.
12. I don’t hate any card, but I guess Shroud. I rely on a lot of effects in all of my decks.
13. The Colour from Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft.
14. @Ryvirath is the nicest guy on the forums.
15. Yes, was pretty funny. Nose-snort/10

[whyb0t]

I’m sorry you get that impression, u post gud

[dewize]

I once thought that you were Kolos in disguise

So I since I now know who this guy is, I wonder how did you come to think I am Kolos given my innate ability to be extremely bad at the game XD

[huginronin]

1. Seven seasons
2. Started with IRL MtG back in … 1993 *cough* tried several MtG online version, also a small niche game called Legends of Norrath, back in 2007, it was tied to MMORPG Everquest. And no, never played HS.
3. Diamond 2 ! (and shiiiit, it was boring)
4. Too long, mostly because I change deck after 3 loss, I do my quests in the middle of laddering etc
5. Maybe 50€
6. Everything but Lyonar
7. I used to DE extras and prismatics after every orb but I just realized that I still have 10k Spirit banked so I stopped last month and I’m just piling cards
