Making a separate game inspired by Path of Champions is an optimistic read. Since the developers are being distributed to “some other projects”, it sounds more like they’re just taking resources away from the game. The PVP side (presumably with the paying players) kept its developers, so this is being spun as a “focus” there, but since they didn’t get any NEW developers, that doesn’t mean much. 

Those were probably the first iterations of the cards and someone forgot to merge the proper branch.

With these issues happening every time something new is released, it's clear to me that:

1. Even if they do test stuff, someone is forcing them to push out the content with bugs. Even critical ones.

2. Their code management is god awful. I wouldn't like to work there and have to bang my head against all kinds of stuff that shouldn't be happening in a properly organised team.

They seem unable to fix these things and I really wonder why...

The new version of POC was a big improvement over the last ( Shard distribution aside ) so this a little bit sad, but it's really not surprising, all of the monetization comes from the PVP side of the game so that always got to come first. 

Really good to read this.

i loved path 1.0 and loving 2.0 so far, this is sad news for me , but, if they separate into a  new game a guess it will be better for both.

getting all resources for the path game and runeterra gets full pvp focus again everyone wins.

lissandra wasnt a champion in the 1.0  bro. XD

I guess we won't be seeing the champions they left out returning any time soon. Lissandra and Teemo were among my favourites.

I'm OK if they want to separate PoC from LoR, not make another game with similar mechanics. As we've seen with Hearthstone, all those extra game modes can lead to client bloat.

It's becoming the norm for any online presentation: business meetings, convention rebroadcasts, etc.

I'm fine with that, but it does bother me a little that they stopped showing the country flags for the players. I thought it added a nice touch and highlighted some interesting regional stories, such as the first wave of top level Japanese players, or the rise of the Czech contingent in the first years of Hearthstone.

Can I get some feedback. Really new at this. Not sure quite how to balance it. I personally think it's overcosted and maybe should be 6 mana, possibly 5. At healing 1 damage its slightly better than flamestrike, but your not really benefiting from a heal then. In the middle, you can heal a minion for 3 and get an old flamestrike. I don't know.

 

Welcome to fan creations!

I like this card a lot, but I agree with other people that it doesn't fit the Paladin class. Instead of reworking the card, I'd simply move it to Priest, as it's a class with very strong AoE like this.

About the Mana cost, I think you could reduce it to 6 like you proposed, but make sure to include the Holy school tag.

Sorry for not giving feedback to the rest of you, it's been a busy couple of days.

This fight is actually downright impossible... I've started with the pirate and the final fight is just absolute misery. The deck gives you barely tools to deal with the twin bosses while she can just go face and kill you.

They've already done so earlier in the year, during Grandmasters. But not for Masters Tours, presumably due to the sheer amount of participants, some pretty anonymous. They also stopped showing country flags under the names, seemingly due to world events elsewhere. If it all feels a little silly in HS Esports where 99% of the listed pronouns end up being "he/him", that's probably why.

Looks like I've been catfished. I thought this was the advice thread for the miniset achievements hunters like usual.

My day is ruined, and my disappointment is immeasurable.

You're not the only one lol

They are on a sticky wicket. Were the participants asked? Did they have to say? Can they express no I don't want one? Why do the presenters also not have a tag to give their chosen pronoun ignoring their biology? Do other regions also have to identify? Can you be a participant without declaring one? Too many questions.

I mean... you seem to be criticizing just for the sake of criticizing.

Seriousely, they now print the pronouns under the player's names...?

Pesky complete all heroic achievements, fine for now, could get hard in the future with their "late game focus".

Some stuff to "farm", like summon x murlocs, what even is that...

But the worst, the utterly worst they could do to mercenaries achievements : PvP achievements... and some are even tricky.

1000 wins REALLY, without losing a single merc REALLY, what is even golden monkey!!

What Blizzard giveth blizzar taketh... of course zeddy and that guy on outofcard going to farm that in 2 weeks, but the rest of us? The casuals in quest of ez pz glory from my comfy couchy... nothing for us.

@cavestuck: Not sure if you were referring to me or not 😅. Anyways, I am not at all interested in those silly PvP achievements which are indeed ridiculous. The rest of those new achievements are just similar to the already existing ones and we should be able to complete those using the Old Guardian YT videos. Good luck!

Wait, so you're complaining that some achievements are non-trivial? The clue is in the name: they acknowledge your ability to do something noteworthy. There would be no point in them if Blizz just handed them out for doing next to nothing.

Nobody forces you to do all the achievements, and you won't be significantly disadvantaged if you miss a couple of XP-giving ones. That wouldn't even come close to getting you an XP-level (an hence are worth <<50 gold), so don't worry about it. Just do what you enjoy doing, and stop there.

Hope Team 5 do a retrospective or lessons learnt on why these cards were broken. Especially Snapdragon which is part of the new content. These bugs are becoming a joke now...

I'll use some examples from mtg.

Sacrificial altar, flames of intention, companions when they were first released.

All nerfed in some way because they were "op"

But what does op mean in a card game, how can something be over powered in a play tested card game with normalized stats?

9/10 times cards are changed or metas are considered bad because players are articulating the "squeeze" 

The narrowing of the playfield the restrictions on fun, the I can't play the stuff I want to play anymore.

Pro-players on the other hand only care about laddering with established archetypes a narrow meta is good for them it makes it a matter of statistics and time.

So you have a tug of war satisfy your players and Mogwai stops streaming, satisfy your pro players and viewerships decline anyway because nobody is playing your damn game.

So 1 make the players happy 2. Throw the pros a bone every now and then so they feel important.

Do not however ever forget to put the players first or you'll die like gwent.

thanks guess we will never know XD.

fun fact i discovered today: unlike with "Zone Eater", "Pyro Clock of Destiny" cannot work with Swordsman from a Distant Land due to slightly different wording. It only counts End Phases, not turns. so this make the swordman extra weird.XD

I'm fairly certain it doesn't have to survive.

But honestly, I'm not 100% sure. And that's terrifying.

Appears the same way on Mozilla too (for android).
