i played a game of expidition with a quite good Garen Darius Elite Deck on round 5
my Opponent basicly crafted a probably very solid Aniva Ashe frostburn deck
the point where it went strange was the following
he has a lvld Anivia on his side
I have a 6/3 (after he took 2 dmg) fearsome guy and a full board on my attack round he on 4 life me on 5
i attack imedeatly so he cant play anything.
so far so good he blocks with anivia the 6/3 and i should have done MORE then enough dmg to kill him trice with my other minions.
What happens? Anivia dies, all of my other minions are frostburned wihtout him playing a card (i looked in the list... nothign happend, he didnt play a spell at all) and he is able to play a few minions and kill me the next round
Simply put. I have a quest today to play 3 Champions from Demacia or Noxus. I played 3 games vs AI and played a total of 5 champions from said regions. It still only said 1/3. So I switched to a PvP game and played another 1 or 2 champions, only for it to STILL say 1/3.
I tried logging out and then back in. Still the same. I don't want to reroll it because it's an easy quest. This is frustrating as it seems to happen to me quite often.
I for one cannot wait to get back into City 17 and not only that but this time enjoy it in VR. From the small amount of footage I've seen, it looks like it is going to be a ton of fun and should look stunning. It makes me wonder how the title will end up shaping future VR titles - the lessons other devs learn from it and all that fun.
Who else is planning on playing? Are you buying a headset to play or did you already own one? Are you waiting for reviews before taking the VR dive?
A new patch for Mythgard dropped today. It primarily fixes bugs and implements a Valentine's Day event.
Patch Notes v0.17.5
2/13/2020 7:56:51 PM
Patch 0.17.5 is primarily a bug fix patch, however it does include the Valentine’s Day 2v2 event, which will run until Feb 23. In this special 2v2 mode, players can only create minions and enchantments on their partner’s side (in case it isn’t immediately apparent, we’re trying to replicate the awkward feeling of the staple of county fairs all over the world - the three-legged race). Complete the event mission to earn the Feast of Hearts card trim!

The Eternal Store has 5 new theme decks to choose from with the launch of Echoes of Eternity. You can also purchase a theme bundle and get some cool alt-art versions of Clockroach!
Echoes of Eternity brings five new pre-constructed theme decks ready for Expedition play!
Pale Rider’s Countdown – Acquire the skills you need for victory!
Uelo’s Tactics – Control the skies!
Kazuo’s Artisans – Build the ultimate weapon!
Midias’s Horde – Amass a dragon’s hoard!
Strange Cultists – Will Strangers save Xulta…or doom it?
Each deck is available now in-game for 3,000 Gold or 250 Gems.
You can also nab all five of the new theme decks…and get four new alt-art copies of Clockroach!
The Echoes of Eternity Theme Deck Bundle contains all five theme decks, and four copies of Clockroach
The theme deck bundle is available now for 1,100 Gems.
Spring Cleaning
Next Monday, February 17, we’ll be doing some spring cleaning and removing older theme decks from the in-game store.
Ten theme decks will remain available for purchase (the decks from Echoes of Eternity and Flame of Xulta), and all of the non-Expedition-legal theme decks will be removed from the store.
This change should make it easier for players to find theme decks relevant to them, and for new players to quickly jump into Expedition play.
Look for future theme deck store updates as new content releases, and grab your bundle to begin exploring the new cards from Echoes of Eternity!
The upcoming TESL Gauntlet will start tomorrow and run through February 17.
The pauper gets a princely promotion in The Elder Scrolls: Legends’ latest event, the Noble Gauntlet!
Noble Gauntlet: February 14 – February 17 Like the commons-only Pauper Gauntlet, a Noble deck is restricted by rarity. In this case, only Common and Rare cards are allowed. Don’t let your guard down, though! A Noble deck can still put up some impressive power without the help of any Epic or Legendary cards.
Once you’ve constructed a deck, square off with opponents until you reach nine wins or three losses, whichever comes first! Each run through the Noble Gauntlet costs one Event Ticket or 150 Gold, with up to three maximum runs allowed.
The Noble Gauntlet begins Friday, February 14 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, February 17. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!
Any tips on defeating heroic Galakrond (E.V.I.L.)? I've only seen wild burn mage as a suggested deck but it has a lot of wild epics (same with wild big priest), code:
I've beaten most of the heroic bosses with a fast build of warlock mecha'thun, but it's just not fast enough to the insane tempo Galkrond gains by invoking.
After many tries with other decks I gave up and made good old Freeze mage with Alexstrasza. Only non standard cards are Hall of famed Ice Block and Ice Lance. Worked on both heroic Galakrond boss fights.
All of this synchs with my ladder experience @ R5, except Galakrond Warrior. Although, it is actually fairly well positioned against the Hunters and Paladins. So maybe that explains it. I'm thankful Dean has been doing this.
Hi, we are glad that you are excited! :) We dont have an exact eta just yet, still working on the proper tools for it. We want to have a dedicated system for it to make things more fair than before and just the whole experience to feel even better, so hang on for a little while longer ;-)
Any news on this front
We should have something to tell you real soon. Not soonTM.
Yeah, Fearsome is pretty strong mechanic for sure. There is a lot of tokens or low attack minions that can deny tons of attacks, Fearsome deals with those. Feels great when your opponent cant put up any blockers and if they can, just pull them with your 1/1s aside :D Elise FTW!

Also, free runs (after your third in one week) offer ONLY the bonus XP -- no shards or capsules. For this reason, free runs are single trials only, not best of two (since best of two is used only to determine the amount of shards and capsules, not XP).
additionally to that free runs are on average a better way to get experience than just playing regular games since on average you're gonna get around 300-500 more experience for the same amount of time
Jinx in general strikes me as a very deck-optimized type of champion...meaning if you're even missing only a few cards the deck falls apart due to lack of consistency.
Jinx-Draven is a pretty powerful combo who tend to fuel each other. Include all the discard support you can find (Flame Chompers into Vision is pretty neat) and a bit of good removal (Culling Strike and others) and you can slap pretty hard. The deck has phenomenal reach with Get Excited and the Rocket.
At the end of the day, you're gonna need 3 of both Champions as well as most of the key cards such as the Experimenter dude that discard 3 and draws 3

The problem may be as simple as the fact that this isn't a Jinx-friendly meta. You've fallen in love with a Champion who cannot perform up to your expectations, so your attempts to improve the deck built around her are doomed to fail.
Also, you are definitely tinkering with your deck too frequently. Don't react to every single loss. You should mainly watch how the deck performs against popular meta decks, not janky random stuff. Look for trends -- is a certain card underperforming in multiple games for the same reason? That's when you look for an upgrade.
(And if that card is Jinx, it's just time to let her go, man!)
They specifically told us they were going to address Demons. Demons needed an immediate change. There are bigger/more changes coming. Be patient and wait and see what other changes they have in store.
How did Anivia win that game?
I think im a little upset right now...
i played a game of expidition with a quite good Garen Darius Elite Deck on round 5

What happens? Anivia dies, all of my other minions are frostburned wihtout him playing a card (i looked in the list... nothign happend, he didnt play a spell at all) and he is able to play a few minions and kill me the next round
pls party people what happend here?

Logical arguments do not apply on meme cards, don't you know that?
Question about the game client
I'm pretty sure playing against yourself for PvP rewards would be considered an exploit, and a very easily detectable one at that.
I advise against it.
