Topic: Tyrant / [SPOILER] New conquest battleground effect and event!

Originally posted by hunterhogan:

I guess I should slow down how many cards I sell. There is one card that no one has mentioned yet that I think will be amazing for this effect, but I have sold all but one of them. I guess I have to stockpile cards of all rarities from now on. Oh well, there goes another (small) source of Gold income.

Sneaky Brute becomes the poor man’s Thule Hound?

Topic: Tyrant / chance to get specific card from "keep the cards" tournament enter

Damn nice, rets. The info under ‘Explanation’ is nicely broken up for sss1 to code up. These are slightly simplified bits for the last three equations

P(specific non-commander rare from opening 2 packs, no duplicate rares/commanders) = 2 / (z – y)
P(specific non-commander rare from opening 3 packs, no duplicate rares/commanders) = 3 / (z – y)
P(specific non-commander rare from opening 4 packs, no duplicate rares/commanders) = 4 / (z – y)

I played with them for a bit, but it doesn’t look like the specific rare commanders w/o duplicates have much cleaner formulas.

The Righteous almost destroyed the world for their own “righteous” goals. I think giving them a few dirty skills would fit them perfectly. Not to mention that they don’t even do their own niche well anymore. I’ve never seen a decent RSR since Awakening. Summon killed RSR and put them in the coffin. TI’s upgrade put the nails in and Emulate dropped it into the ground to be buried.

Summon killed a lot of stuff :(

The Righteous are above tactics such as fear and disease. If every faction/race had every skill, there’s no real difference between them in the end, Psycho : /

Topic: Tyrant / (SPOILERS) FLASHPOINT NEW CARDS

Originally posted by kartis:

I believe the intention of these cards is to find a way to introduce upgrades that encourage WB use, rather than continue to make them ‘free content.’ Could be I’m too cynical though.

Maybe it’s a way to reintroduce narrative of the story line into the cards?

it’s crappy now with on kill

it’s always been ‘on kill’; the person posting didn’t go through the dev file manually with human eyes.

catepillar did and pointed this out in the SPOILERS thread.

Topic: Tyrant / [Powercreeped] Bye Soulsteel Mount, Hi World-(Game)-breaker

it is Strike All 2 on Kill

in the XML the devs mistyped ‘killed=1’ instead of ‘kill=1’, so it’s not showing up in the tool being used to trawl the files, because it’s looking for the ‘kill’ attribute.

Topic: Tyrant / chance to get specific card from "keep the cards" tournament enter

to me it feels likely that when pack #2 comes up, they just remove cards from the pack before picking. they already differentiate between rare/etc, so they probably already have 4 lists of cards, one for each card type.

seems likely they have an ‘exclude’ card id list. if the pack they’re picking from contains anything from the exclude list, remove it before choosing.

if you pull a legendary, you put all legendaries in the exclude list. i think this is equivalent to forced reroll per pack?

why would they not be meta-game value … you’re saying the devs wouldn’t allow such cards in the set?

even after rets’s mastery of conditional probability, we still don’t quite have the right answer because of the rare commander caveat : /

it seems like a foregone conclusion that you would know what a troll is, but suddenly i’m not sure.

edit: is this an evolutionary thing? a troll troller?

Topic: Tyrant / Arena ... lag?

Originally posted by AverageMango:

I go to the arena and click battle and wait. When there’s no one there, I click cancel and log off. When I log on, I’m fighting someone and my cards have been auto moved like when you’re on auto. This really ticks me off because it happens to me almost every time and since I use a fear deck, it has to played manually or it’ll mess up.

I’ve never had the ‘cancel’ button work on the first click for me. It always takes two :/ could you have closedthe window before you were sure the ‘looking for opponent’ dialog had closed?

Topic: Tyrant / Speedy Hive is not fun

Originally posted by The_Atari_Kid:

Is it wrong that I’d like more and harder achievements? I’ve completed all missions and achievements now. Time to sit around and blow my energy until an event or new missions.

harder how?

• costs lots of energy, so hard to spam (speedy hive)
• best deck is low % chance (lernean hydra/jotun when they first came out)

no one likes either of these ‘harder’ ways.

Topic: Tyrant / [survey for vets/hardcores] Question 2

when vets started playing the fansite didn’t exist, or was in its infancy. or maybe, they’re still around because they don’t use the fansite-shortcuts and so they haven’t burned out with the unquenchable heat of an inorix.

i used the fansite for raids/mission for a few months, but now i’m finding enjoyment in wasting energy to figure out a good deck. wasting 80+ energy per attempt is admittedly painful though.

edit: i have been around since mar’11, so maybe i’m a vet, but not hardcore.

also, it could be read that i think inorix burned out due to fansite use, but i what i mean is: the reaction between inorix and Tyrant releases an everlasting, ablative light.

Do either the Devs or the Consortium go through the Error thread? I’ve posted a few things myself there, and noticed a few legit bugs posted by others there.
