On an slightly unrelated note, we also finally got that damn interface for xp gain.
Sorry, see xp on the title just want to make a note of it without actually creating a thread.
Yeah. But i wonder why it shows "+ scroll XP" and not "+XP scroll". Looks super weird to me honestly.
I think of the scroll like a currency sign, which typically comes before the quantity. That's the complete opposite of how other quantities are given units (e.g. 3m or 10kg), but whatever, I don't set the conventions.
It was with Grim Patron not Dreadsteed, and you needed 2 defiles as defile cap at 14. Also Dreadsteed got nerfed before defile came to prevent defile+Dreadsteed combo.
Good. Glad they're not letting this one "play out" like they did with Naga Giants. Remember Naga Giants? Remember that they left that thing untouched for NINE MONTHS? Remember how long they let Darkest Hour infest the meta? I 'member. Glad this isn't that scenario. It's a bit sad that what we'll be coming back to is the same Raza Darkglare meta, I would really like to see some change there, but it's better than this.
I'm excited to see if Targon Yasuo can finally become a deck now. They've kept printing Targon stun cards but they've been so weak that the archetype never makes sense (Sleepy Trouble Bubble, Paddle Star, and Sneaky Zeebles are all awful compared to Noxus Stun cards). In fact, even the Theorycraft Yasuo deck featured only uses 3 of Targon's Stun cards. If Aphelios isn't enough to make Targon stun at least Tier 2/3, then I think the other Targon stun cards really need a buff.
I don’t think it was oppressively viable, but I think there used to be a Deathspeaker + Knife Juggler + Dreadsteead + Defile combo. In general, giving Immune as opposed to divine shield can lead to unintended combos.
A nice change to see them getting rid of this interaction so fast.
Probably change either how immune works (cant be targeted by spells) or change hysteria to something more like how Deathwing, Mad Aspect works. I can't see them ever nerfing both the farmer and the speaker directly.
I do not think deathspeaker has been nearly as impactful as you think. I am almost certain that this is the first time it has ever seen play since it was released. I think changing tiller's effect is the way to go because deathspeaker sees play in arena and tiller hasn't seen play in years.
I wonder which card they'll nerf. If I were them, I would change Deathspeaker because Immune is a keyword that leads to a lot of problematic combos and unintended interactions. If they don't nerf Deathspeaker, they'll have to keep it in mind whenever they make new cards.
Don’t stay away from wild, it’s very fun to counter the tiller otk decks while you can with different ways like a rogue deck with Flik Skyshiv and Wretched Tiller and tons of draw or if you want a more generally competitive deck a hunter deck with tons of counters like Freezing Trap, Swamp King Dred, Snipe, and Desert Camel.
If you are looking for it while making a deck, you can't. You have to pick it in the collection manager and set it to your favorite, and then it is used for all instances of The Coin you have.
I was a little disappointed that it can't be set for each deck, but maybe that'll change when more options are available.
Updated the invokes SI list, it doesn't really have any bad matchups. I'd consider this the top 1 deck right now (or 2 if plaza invokes is 1) Atrocity is only good vs Ez/draven, a matchup that is already favored for invokes. I can see it as a x1 in tournaments tho.
These requirements are all the more baffling since duels is supposed to supplement standard play. Ironically playing in standard is actually cheaper than duels itself because of paywalling.
And it does impact the game more than most people think. Since its paywalled, there's already very few players and thanks to the bs MMR system there, I've actually have to queue 5 minutes to get a game after going on a 4 game win streak. Lord knows how much longer it will take if by chance I get to 11-0 wins.
I wouldnt call it cheating, since the bad coding allows it, but i would soon look for if it hurts their viewership, i would not watch a streamer who constantly skips the combat, the tavern turn is not that exciting.
With that said, it, and the achievements, kinda showed the "flaw" in the system, or rather the way it works: when the combat starts, before you can even see the board, the game already decided on all the moves and who wins or loses that fight. You can only watch the motions. It can still give you that rush of pulling off a lucky victory, but if you know everything has been already predetermined, that feeling gets quite sour.
Im not a developer, so cant speak for if and how it could be changed, but having the combat phase be literally irrelevant, that does not bring me much enjoyment from player perspective. With that said, i still like to play BG, but i would enjoy it more, if the combat phase mattered at all. I still get angry/happy about the result, so i guess the brain can be fooled even if you know what is going on, oh well.

How would Pressure Plate counter it? Wouldn't it trigger after Hysteria has already resolved and you are already dead?

I have mine. You have to remember to enable it in the collection. I keep forgetting.

isn't it cheating, when big streamers always disconnect on purpose in bgs?

Has there been any intentional cheating ever aired on stream? Not that this is a phenomenon that's unknown to the devs.

Yeah. But i wonder why it shows "+ scroll XP" and not "+XP scroll". Looks super weird to me honestly.
