@beegum you are indeed in control of intercept, there are a lot of factors that go into my head when i'm determining whether or not to intercept i.e.- how much energy will i have left if i use my move and don't intercept, the opponents record to see if he tends to win more of his games and therefore has a better understanding of the game and is inclined to think i would intercept... the point i'm trying to make is that intercepting was put in this game because the idea was rock paper sissors mind-reading. crits and misses ruin the game concept because your strategy of "well hey i kill him in 2 turns and he doesnt have the damage to kill me in one" strategy can be ruined by luck which i hate... it takes the strategy out of a strategy game
finally, i'd like to adress that im always playing noobs, im not saying everyone i play isnt a noob but the majority are .500 are higher and ive beaten the likes of players much more skilled and experienced than me, such as rambobatman(grats on #1 all time for win btw) and several 400+ winners and @ the necronomicon comments, its not really fair to compare a game where you play actual thinking players to a game where you play an AI- its a good game but not really in the same class
at the comment that vanessa's DS is overpowered... the only thing OP about that is the chance to crit and one shot marquis le morte... the whole point is to use vanessa to kill the likes of constantine and such... just think of what shed be like if it was slower and more costly... she'd be horrible exept 5 cards
yes northern, thats the exact situation i was thinking of, either that, or if its my last character... and im not quitting because of all combination of lucky things in this game. also, the games i lose rarely boil down to one move if ever at all, if i lose i lose big... example: 5 days ago i played a guy with phylactery on cain. he had 1 hp left for 4 turns in a row because of 3 phylactery procs which took me down from vanessa at near full health and pheobe at full down to pheobe with half... because of those ridiculous procs... and what do you know his last card once i finally killd him with pheobe his last card was CC and he killed me with a pilebunker.
reggy generally youre right but a lot of people intercept which is the basic concept of the game, force your opponent to switch out and intercept if you think theyre going to do so, however theres certain times when you cant swap and your stuck with cc at close, wouldnt be a problem because pb is so slow that i could get of 2 moves before death but nope, he crits me and i die, ruining my strategy and chances of winning
northern now i realize what you were saying about good and long time, the arena sets i grinded i got in a couple of weeks on WoW with a 2000+ rating 2v2 pre-trinket change with a rogue ele shammy team... i was however on one of the better pvp battlegroups for arena so i never earned a high title... my pvp partner was suntsu on frostmane if you care to armory but i was one of the better rogues on the server at that time... i took a 3 month break thinking i wouldnt be too far behind on gear maybe another arena set would come out and my gear would hold up but i came to find every one even new 60 people wearing my s2 because they made it available in bgs once s4 came out so i quit for good, now going to play WAR
Northern... a 96 - 17 (5 or 6 are DCs) record is good regardless of who youre playing, and anyways most lower level players quit the match when they see me, im usually playing levels 5 - 9 sighaknight - 50 energy isnt high cost for a move the either one shots your character or cripples it enough to be killed by voidsream the following turn Northern again: if there werent luck dependant things it would boil down to the game's concept of rock paper scizzors mind reading,(which is what the concept of this game was in the first place) not omgwtfgoddamncritshitaaah and i realize everyone loses because of bad luck, but thats what im saying should be changed thats how i'm "dealing with it"
okay i officially quit this miserable game with a record of 96 - 17 because 14 of those losses are luck based stupid shit i could have done nothing about and i cant stand a game like that i am so sick of online multiplayer games helping out really really bad players with stupid changes like the resilience change in WoW making arena sets 1&2 available to everyone who has no life to have top tier gear and screwing over good players... or this game where you can do everything right and lose because of missing high chance to hit attacks and being crit on with a high frequency seriously someone implement a game where good players are actually REWARDED
i agree with lee619la sort of... instead of upgrading abilities it would be nice if you could spend the points you get from achievements on equipment cards for your characters
megalomania is the worst insanity ever all you have to do is wait for the taint to get someone low and play any damage spell... its easy enough to defend yourself from his damage spells if you get elder signs or dispells and whatnot but genreally speaking they can't keep up with all the damage the taint is doing
dandelion the creatures damage is not miscalculated, the damage they do on a counter attack is subtracted by the opponent's monster's damage and their defense(elder) rating... that said the one card i think should be taken out of the game is yog sathoth... its like youre being penalized for being smart and avoiding insanity... but on the other hand everything else in this game is balanced to near perfection... if creatures attacked every single turn cards like goat of the black woods would be absurdly overpowered... creatures arent supposed to make you win the game... just help you along in doing so
phylactery needs to be taken out of the game right now... all it takes is for some jackass to get lucky a few times and he wins... took out my full health vanessa because it procced 3 times which ended up making me lose
