... The copyright holders are in china, but it is Gamefuse that is shutting it down and doing maintenance. Gamefused is located in Silicon Valley(GMT). -- that being said its a very good time for them. Im not sure about you, but if I had to do maintenance on a game, I would not want to wake up in the middle of the night and then coordinate a whole team of developers to update a game. -- I would like to do it when they are doing it. Somebody is bound to complain, so it is best to do it when it is easiest for them. Also -- all Gamefuse servers get shut down at the same time, they are not going to update different servers at different times of the day that would just be a hassle, so they do all servers around the same time.
I'm pretty sure you cannot beat him with just the axe. His health seems to be set to an exponential. The more damage he has taken the faster he regenerates.
Igneel, that is obvious, of corse Serk is designed for an undead deck, but compare Serks stats to any of those cards you listed he is bad. 7 timer (I misposted above when I said 6) for 15 hp at legendary...godlike... and awakened... this is insanely bad. Lucanus is known for being extremely bad swell, but in comparison to serk, he dominates him. For example Leg Luc(6/2/12/Cure 2/Vig/Life3), Leg Serk(7/2/15/Vamp/Counter/life3) -- Vig and Cure are both going to activate almost every turn, while vamp and counter only occur when in range -- and yet serk has an extra timer. Awakened Luc(6/2/12/vig/cure2/inspired1/life6), Awakened Serka(7/4/15/Vamp/Counter/life6) — While Serk gained a mere 2 attack Luc gained a skill that has a 50% chance to draw an extra card every time you play a human. Once again, Serk gains the upper hand, as Serks new ability are only important when he comes into contact, while Luc’s can be used whenever.
Considering that they both are very fragile as they lack hp, Luc clearly gains the advantage as he can be used in the back ranks which will help him live longer. Most of Serks abilities require him to be on the front lines, but with such low health he will simply not make it there. You want your buffer sheltered behind your now healthy allies, not in front of them. If your low health buffer is in front of an attack it is almost pointless, as by the time they attack the guys in the back the buffer will be dead. — I’m not sure how well I explained his huge disadvantage, but I hope this helps you understand why he is really bad. RECAP: If Serka is in the front the +6 hp will be unless as he will die first and the buff will go away; if he is in the back his attack, vampire, and counterattack will be useless. 7 timer is high, and 15 hp is low.
I wish the Devs would give Price Serka a little boost. He is really week for his timer, and over the months his bad stats have made undead hard to play. Even at awakened he still only has 4 attack and 15 hp. -- for a 6 timer card he needs more then that. I doubt anyone would complain if Serka got a boost.
I would also like to add that the whole 20 Mythos ll packs packs for a Khnum was also meant to slow down rush -- That idea backfired as Khnum is too strong, so free players complained, but it was still an attempt to persuade users to play high count down cards, and move away from rush.
It it not obvious that they are trying to nerf rush? They know it is too strong. The devs cannot reduce stats on a card because of technical issues, players paid real money for those specific stats, and no one wants to go through the ordeal of refunding.
Last patch the devs released Norse 2 with Wall of Lost Souls, and Grimm to fight rush, and this last patched they releasedBlaze Disciple, Chilled Disciple, Stormy Disciple, Pious Disciple, and Shade Disciple also to help fight rush. The devs also agreed that they would not release Aurora Veloxia. -- It is not perfect, but it is clear that they are trying their best to fix the problem.
Well... obviously if there are ONLY 100 vips...and the top 200 get rewards then there would have to be at least 100 non vips that make it into top 200 and get rewards.
Games switching over to unity are more of a statement then for functional use. Even simple text programs are using unity. I would assume its to encourage flash to update its stuff.
My biggest problem with DB is that in the use section there is no "Use all DB" at the top. Most of the situations people will just want to dump all DB onto a single card.
