Topic: Tyrant / [TO DEVS] Making factions smaller

This is only a good idea IF the faction is cut to 25 member limit, and you can link 2 factions and transfer people between them with no LP loss. That way you can have a place for newer members to learn from faction mates. I posted more in depth on this in the devs post a while back.

Strictly smaller for smaller faction’s sake is no good.

Topic: Tyrant / [To Devs] Level Rewards

There are some good points made here, Al has the idea of it there… but the problem is not the same as the symptom.
Right now, new content for higher levels is a symptom.

Think of it this way. The devs should spend time doing…
Options: 1) Make new cards for lvl 175, 200, etc. A good option for most (2 or so new cards for a lot of work from the player [over a year at least]).
2) Make new deck/energy upgrades available. Again, a good option for most (for a new deck slot, maybe you use 10 more cards you wouldn’t have otherwise).
3) Make new tournament (gameplay in general) types that say (common only [not ideal but for example]) that make 400+ cards they’ve already created mean something and have a situation where lower level/new/strategist/bored players can be competitive in different ways. There are so much work they’ve done when in reality we rotate between a couple defense/offense/conquest decks and the rest is not used. We need a way for those to mean something.

There are lots of ways to utilize commons/uncommons into tournaments that isn’t strictly “All common or All uncommon”. As seen by many replies in this thread and other tournament threads.

Also it would be REALLY cool if there weren’t only 2h and 24h tournaments. What about implementing a third one, let’s say 12h ?

I (and many others) already suggested there should be more than 2 tournaments running at a time. Hopefully, concerning length, they would have something akin to 2x 2h, 1x 4h, 1x 6h, 1x 12h, 1x 23h. But they would obviously have to make more/different tournament types as I propose in every tournament thread. We have a great game, but we only use 5% of the cards because there is so little gameplay compared to content.

I think that only a little amount of players will be really interested in those tournaments even if the idea was proposed a great number of times.

Probably after the release a lot of players will try tem but in some month they will be deserted unless you can get something good for winning them (Shards, Tokens, special cards and so on).

I agree… the reason many players (new players/not WB heavy) don’t like tournaments is because they can only compete if they get a very good draw in a sealed tournament. If you make more types, new players would have a chance to compete and nonWB players would have just as good of a chance at finding a type they like and can win.

We’ve considered similar tournament ideas. If they get enough support we may go through with implementing them.

Originally posted by DarkBlood1:

Devs already accepted this idea in: [To Devs] New types of standard tourneys, but the problem is that we are still waiting for it (about 4 months), similar to the Raid revamp. :(

Dear DaWayne,
This has been the most common topic for a thread in the past 6 months easily. Right now, people (at least me) complain of a few things: End-Game, Tournaments, Card-Meta power creep. We only really use 20 (maybe ~50 if you have lots of decks pre-set but many of those cards overlap) cards at a time in a game that has 1000+ plus cards you’ve spent a long time doing art for, balancing, testing, etc. You not only need to do new types (please refer to many other threads for great ideas) of tournaments… but you need more running at once. If you had 6 types running at once: A standard (that could only use up to 5 rares), Gold Packs, Standard (with Rush effect), Team Standard (2 players [possibly from one faction?] get W/L record combined), Standard (Common only), and an Auto tournament (Submit your 10 card deck before a certain time and then you get random paired and automatically fight on auto) you would have so many more people interested in playing the game that currently say… “I don’t like grinding/faction wars/tournaments” or whatever that you would have many more players + more people spending WB’s + less complaints for cards being worthless + reasons for factions to be less pointless.

Just so you know, this is a great game, but you severely limit how popular it can be and how much it can be enjoyed by only having the option to play a tournament, grind your energy, or fight in a faction war/conquest. That is good for some… but not most as we see many people get bored of those few options often.

Edit: +1 to all the other tournament ideas offered in this thread.

Topic: Tyrant / Standard League Week Four Pairings

oh 8-0 counting individual battles? hmm not so important to me as both being 4-0 on best 2/3 matches… but as you will. If we have 8/16 people who would do a tournament I would organize it easy enough if needed.

So is anyone remaining interested in a best 2/3 knockout tournament starting as soon as people confirm interest (and MSU okays it)?

Edit: It would probably make most sense to have the top 10 people from the group here that are interested to do the knockout and give masterluke and mafiadriver a bye in round 1 since they were undefeated to date. Just a thought.

I’m not in WarBros and not sure what is going on with OOH’s thread, but for the record…
0hio was a top and legitimate player for a long time before anything discussed here occurred.
Also, a nice guy.

Don’t other websites just make you fill in a crazy word or combination of letters to probe you’re a person? Seems pretty simple if that works for them.

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

Originally posted by pacachomp:

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.

Nerfed Enrichment Vial: Augment some of all 2. 50% chance to augment each card… :)

Topic: Tyrant / this game should take a break and solve its powercreep problem

Originally posted by synapticon:

The point of Upgrades is to increase the breadth of the metagame, and it’s actually done a pretty great job of that so far. It’s unreasonable to expect every card to be at the exact same power level, largely because you guys are so good at finding new strategies to use with cards. If you want every card to have a pre-defined strategy and power-level, it would actually get boring very quickly. The meta-game will never be stable, static, and balanced, because that would mean rock-paper-scissors and is actually really boring. The meta-game has been, is, and will always be ever-changing. That’s the only way to keep it interesting.

Synap if you think people complain a lot about Upgrades… wait until you rebalance a card and a stat/skill goes down! That’ll be a fun forum day.

Yay, I get to bring this out again:

Originally posted by DaWayne33:

Fun fact about Swipe+Fear – Based on the way it works now the card will still use Swipe and proceed to “Fear” through each unit it tries to attack, making it possible for the unit to attack the Commander (or wall) 3 times… No we don’t plan on making a card with this combination anytime soon.

Thanks masterluke, but I really should’ve phrased it like this… having 2 wait, fear, swipe, flurry 2 3/6… etc ;) = 27 damage on one turn potentially…

what about dets on the epic Warbond wars. ninjastriker(not spelled that way) is the only one i ever remember from those days, but with out talking about warbond wars / stam refills none of the early history makes sense. IMO

N1njaStr1ker was a huge WB’er, but he came after fishboner1234 who did what ninja did per war… in like 17 wars at once. SO that is all I have to say about that.
Many other huge WB’ers were out there, but it would take a bit of research to compile any definitive list. Just from my experience to name only a few… shadevarr, Dakota337, Lykosis, 0hio, rhuris. All legit when I faced/fought with them. Needless to say that was just the tip as there were probably 50 more just that I was with or against regularly.

You also could glance at my own tl;dr post at the bottom of page 1 in this thread for my brief, subjective take on early faction history with warbond refills.
http://www.kongregate.com/forums/65-tyrant/topics/334824-vote-for-the-best-faction-in-tyrant-history?page=1

The hoschisack could WB with the best of them back in the day. Also, not sure you can put Ohio on that list…no disrespect my friend but I don’t think the WBing you did counts :)

Agreed, Hoschi is also a legend of the WB. I was invited to join C9 after the BO disband (Hoschi and Showza are the two I feel like I remember from C9?, but it’s been a long time) but I wasn’t very active then so I had to pass.
And when I was in BO fighting 0hio in LoA1, his scores seemed high, but legit. Just my take.
