Topic: Tyrant / The Ultimate Wall Stall - May 2013

page bump

Topic: Tyrant / [IDEA] Deploy//Support for other skill set denominations

It’s an okay idea, I just think in the current state of the metagame a way of removing opposing skills is much more important than getting more use out of your own.

Topic: Tyrant / What is the most expensive deck (in gold)?

Go on. Tell me that Odin isn’t the most expensive card… one more time.

I DARE YOU.

Topic: Tyrant / Pretty New Missions

Yeah I appreciated that a lot. Now if they’d just improve the moronic dialogue and stopped with the constant “Oh <insertfaction> showed up randomly, let’s fight them”, the storyline would actually be a nice addition to the game.

Topic: Tyrant / Gutless + wars

Lol alliance. And it doesn’t stop when you get stronger btw, most times we attack Better World we get a defense a minute later from TASW.

Topic: Tyrant / New Missions

But if something is to easy as it is to be done, it’s the easier thing to do what needs doing than what needs to be easier to be done. Especially when it’s not doable.

Lol this so much.

what’s your current and future plan on CQ? or will you consider to be war focus faction from now on like BW currently?

Yeah we’re getting out of conquest, originally we grabbed a few tiles to stay #1, but realised it was more effort than it was worth so we’re currently getting rid of them (which is why the Males of Meanness have temporarily passed us).

Topic: Tyrant / List of Cards that are likely to get upgrade

The only card I really want to be buffed (substantially) is Razogoth Reborn. Not that I have it, but it’s as far as I know the only card actually mentioned in the storyline, and it’s skeleton is the size of an entire map screen.

Something like 3/18/4, Summon Razogoth’s Heir, Rally all BT 1, Flurry 3? Seems more appropriate for it. Except that it really deserved to be a raid or event reward :/

Oh yeah and Gruesome Crawler of course.

and save stamina everybody

Topic: Tyrant / Arena Rating

Basically yeah. I’m hovering around #50 in the rankings right now, but it took absolutely forever just because the ELO system fails to account for the rock-paper-scissors nature of our meta. Good cards and deckbuilding can overcome that to some extent, but nothing like to the extent in things like chess. As a pretty good chess player ranked around 1800 FIDE, if I played 20 games against someone rated 300 points lower I’d expect to maybe lose one, draw three-five and win the rest. But in Tyrant, against a 0-rated arena player I might lose 4 of those 20. And yet we use exactly the same points system. It’s really obviously stupid, and just rewards grinding in search of runs of luck.

Topic: Tyrant / Is Moya still good?

Lol. Moya is arguably the best commander for any Fear deck, one of the top two choices for Rig decks, and one of the top three options for wallstalls. She’s the most dominant commander there is.

Topic: Tyrant / You've been pre-approved to join a level 13 faction

Oh okay. I’m just a bit confused, because you said “No members declined”, but I’m not a member yet, so does that mean you’d decline me? And then you said “Everyone accepted”, but I’m just one person, and also there’s a 50 member limit so you couldn’t have everyone anyway. And then finally you said you’d accept me if I was level one, but I’m not, I’m level four and a half. So I don’t really know what to think.

Let’s see how long it would take before this thread dies off.

I’d give it another half a day. Bring in a few more angry warlike brothers and some random low-level alliance slaves and it will stick around though.

Topic: Tyrant / You've been pre-approved to join a level 13 faction

I’m not very good though. Is that okay?

Topic: Tyrant / You've been pre-approved to join a level 13 faction

Can I join?

Topic: Tyrant / gathering opinion

I love this thread, because it illustrates how bs the current powercreep is. A unique / legendary 4/80/4 wouldn’t even be overpowered in this meta. It would destroy Sabres, sure, but get wiped out by Fear, Pyro Rigs and be average against wallstalls.

Topic: Tyrant / My 2 cents about what this game was/is/or is going to become

Originally posted by noobma:

Rock paper scissors is the hallmark of a healthy living meta. It exists in every game, that’s why it’s called that, one of the most traditional games uses this dynamic to create a balanced product.

No one wants to play a game in which a battle is decided by nothing other than matchup.

No one is ever going to use slowroll without mass Cleanse / Chaos again because of Rigs. Also because GS will wipe them out without Moya+walls, and TI will wipe them out regardless. Wallstall 100% beats anything which doesn’t have either incredibly fast attacking power, or lots of bulk+huge amounts of siege.

Literally the only deck type I can think of which can make a move into this meta (without simply outclassing stuff in existing roles) is quickstrike. With enough power it can potentially beat Sabres and all Fear reliably, and then just Cyclops + Vial / Destruction against wallstall.

Topic: Tyrant / Thank you Anna

Bye Anna :( We’ll miss you like crazy. You held ZP together all these months and you were a great friend to nearly all of us.

Long live the queen!

Topic: Tyrant / My 2 cents about what this game was/is/or is going to become

Hmm. What do you guys think is a decent list of the cards which should absolutely 100% be nerfed?

For me, Pyro Rig, Enrichment Vial, Cyclops, Moya and the other ridiculously high-HP commanders, Warpway, and Sabre.

Other stuff like (TI, Drone, GS) is borderline too imo.

Topic: Tyrant / Modify Fear (or introduce new Fear-based abilities?)

I feel like any solution should target “fast fear” (e.g. the nightmare that is TI→TI→Drone→Vial) more than slow Fear (Sycos / Phants / GS). But tbh I can’t think of anything except a flat nerf.

Topic: Tyrant / Nerf All the Fear

Eh. imo no Fear is actually unbalanced now. Enrichment Vial needs to be nerfed for sure, that’s the only thing which really breaks TI’s. GS only work because the meta lets them work (very little swipe, pure attacking power, disease, etc). Not saying they’re not incredibly strong, but they’re slow enough that the meta has more than enough tools to deal with them.

Topic: Tyrant / [To Devs] More Legendary Siege, please

…we already have Cyclops, which is above the average legendary power level and is by far and away the best anti-wall card in the game. It’s bs how it’s only accessible by luck, like most other stuff in the game, but introducing more siege legendaries isn’t any better and just seems pointless. It’s not like wallstall is exactly dominating this metagame anyway. If you wanted to bring out a few GOOD legendaries with Cleanse All and some anti-Fear (e.g. summon wall), to make non-Rig slowrolls viable, that would be much more useful imo.

Topic: Tyrant / Vote for the Best Faction in Tyrant History

IFS, ZeroPhobia, MoM, Black Ops I guess. I maintain ZP has the best officer / WM group of any faction ever, and that counts for a lot. I’d even argue that we are (or have been) the numerically strongest faction, since we hold the record (and most of the top placings, with some input from BW and MoM) for highest faction war score since refills were removed. It’s tough to compare to the old greats though.
