[Unofficial] Complain about patch here

#45

Holy crap Magmar looks bad in this expansion, I sort of figured from the lack of previews for them.

Nerfs to a card barely played (Veteran) most likely because they nerfed the stats of Elder and couldn’t have Veteran be only 2/1 below it.

One card to support Starhorn’s BBS, which is not enough. It seems Magmar will still only have one playable general. Visionar seems pretty bad too. The only deck I can see Starhorn doing well with is a battlepet spam deck with Mandrake.

Lackluster cards for Magmar this expansion in general, where other factions get one hit kill combos and boardwipes, Magmar get an overcosted 5 damage to non-egg cards INCLUDING YOUR OWN GENERAL. Meanwhile obliterate or Sky Phalanx don’t hurt you for 5 health while donig far more.

Wild Inceptor seems overcosted and is a 4 mana, an already overcrowded slot. Morin-Khur, while cool, also seems too expensive to use. Dreadnaught is pretty nice too, but I don’t think it’ll see much play.

Magmar really got the shaft.

I got 2 Nimbus, 3 Allomancer and 3 Spinecleavers from my pre order packs. I already did what had to be done and dusted my elders for aymaras, call me a traitor.

The thing I hate most about Denizens of Shim’zar so far is the near-instant barrage of whine it has generated from some knee-jerk Duelysts. I wasn’t going to vent, but when I saw that this is a safe space for that kind of behaviour I thought I might as well get it off my chest.

I don’t think it is overcosted. You have to remember, that Minions hatched out of eggs will have Rush, so you could get a Rush Silithar Elder.

#49

That is why Raqyee is a straight up genius, ngl. Now we only have one thread full of whiners like us, and don’t have to deal with 500 Threads of ‘xyz is op’.

Sure but that requires you to have a Silithar Elder out already, which means either there’s one already up that hatched this turn so why not attack with that? Or your opponent burst it down and couldn’t finish the job. For Silithat elder it might be good.

But for veterans and young, not that much, esecially after the nerf of Veteran. The new battlepet doesn’t use this either, can’t even.

The only use I can see this getting is with Egg morph or Chrysalis burst, and that’s an 8 mana combo. Seems very situational for it’s price. They seem to asume you’ll flash reincarnate this out.

Man, I can’t wait to see what that big ass hydra does, probably a strong lategame minion with regenerate or it splits into smaller hyrda or something!

Elder was pretty rare because of the fast pace of the game beforehand, so you aren’t a traitor; just a person who joined a winning team…

Such a waste of an awesome sprite…

I initially felt the same. Really wanted the card to be this big ass pet that just shits on everything. But Rawr ended up being that card instead and I actually like it even more. It looks better imo and has a better effect than Hydrax. Not to say how Hydras is garbage though, every card that has something to do with draw has potential to be broken.

too bad theres no egg to hatch

#57

Forget the game’s actual issues.
Since the patch support’s been scrambling.
The person I’m talking with right now is jumping to answers before reading/checking in to my problem.

I suppose it’s to be expected that mistakes get made since they’re probably being swarmed but meh.
When money’s involved I don’t think it should be so spotty.

Generally speaking, I love to whine. I LOVE IT. But, about all this, let’s not just “hate” too much. The devs that did the balance probably thought it was for the best. I complained about Magmar nerfs. Thinking about it, it just means we’re going to have to change our gameplay. The meta NEEDS to change, or the game is going to become stale and boring. Nerfing and buffing will ALWAYS seem unfair but the efforts here are made to tweak the balance so the game is ever changing, OP cards becoming less OP, buffed cards, it’s all to make a new meta. The only thing I’ll call bad here is the lack of Starhorn support. Maybe the other cards are not what we all expected either. But, all those effort are made to make the game a more dynamic experience where we all have to adapt to the changes. Anyway, thhat’s my PoV, feel free to just sh*t on it.

in case no one else responeded, soulburns are 0/4 sturctures with summon dervish that destroy any minion that damages it. spinecleaver summons totems for your OPPONENT that are 0/4 and deal one damage to their general every turn

#60

When I started building the magmar deck I expected to have big minions , raw power. But now Kara seems to be better at this when the Vanar theme is not really that. You place an 7 mana slithar elder 6/6 she places a 5 mana with BBS 12/6 artic displacer or something similar and with the 2 remaining returns the elder to your hand .

*Vanar

#61

DROP RATE !! :triumph:

#62

Eh, not comparable. Your Elder still left an egg behind, which hatches into another Elder. Trades into the displacer and turns back into an egg. You can then play your Elder again, leaving another egg.

#63

I really dont think anyone would leave an elder egg alive. And there are many, many ways to do 1 dmg.

#64

Hydrax doesn’t have frenzy, as a Heroes of Might and Magic player I find this outrageous.
