Maybe not everyone wants something competitive :) yea, i do agree to what you're saying about snap. But it's fun. A different kind of fun that HS failed to provide for years, and runeterra didn't really fit in my mind somehow.
Between hours of Starbourne 2 and other games, playing a bit of snap is different and fun, makes you think on how to win or trick your opponent, or whether to risk a 50/50 win or just retreat and cut losses.
But the battlecry was not successful. A minion changes sides after his board-side-id changed. In this case, it never did, because there was no room. So my guess is this, regarding the order:
1. Battlecry cast
2. Battlecry effect activation =>
2.1. Enemy minion targetted
2.2. If (board on your side has room)
{
Move minion to your side
Change board side id
Change visuals accordingly
}
Else => Kill minion => if (minion has deathrattle) trigger it; Else => trigger other effects if any
I'm glad they finally realized this location stuff is too much. Even if it's because of a "creativity" issue, i.e. not being able to bring new ones every week because there isn't a lot of new stuff to design regarding those, in the long run (without new mechanics developed into the cards).
Hmm i just realized. Their change of perspective on Wild isn't accidental in terms of timing.
They aren't going to bring new content for Mercenaries anymore. So there are more people available to learn to work on *something* else. And this is Wild.
Basically translating monetary gains from mercs to HS wild. Probably there are a lot (more?) of people playing Wild that it became worth it.
Hi again. It seems that scrolling the page before clicking on something seems to increase the lag duration. Even writing this message, immediately upon landing on this page, caused about a 5-10second delay before the text showed up, while making everything unresponsive in rest.
I know. A change in this would attract more people into the game. One of the issues the game has is keeping up with all the releases. Not gonna bother spending since you lose the cards after a bit and since all the good legendaries require a lot of packs to find.
For me wild should be the place to test out all the cards you have in your collection, and those that you do not. And there are 2 ways to go about it.
1. Pick 2-4 "eras" + core, make decks from them, battle other players with other choices of "eras". This requires balancing all the broken shit (and firing the "designers" that allowed it to thrive).
2. Rotating sets, but give us ALL the cards even if we do not own them. The current set is never included in this rotation until next "cycle" (be it expansion or miniset) - basically any release of new cards will give you access to the previous ones.
I'd also love a second mode - give us all cards from all previous card cycles from Standard, but adjust the rewards. I.e. when the miniset drops, give access to the initial release of cards, and so on. Basically, i want to play with all the cards from standard, even if i do not own them, in a sort of Casual mode, with no ladder, fewer or no rewards, maybe a separate reward track focused on other things than gold, etc. It'd be like owning the cards, but because you actually don't, the rewards are very low or zero.
To bring a bit more testing results, the lag doesn't seem to happen immediately after a new page or section gets loaded, but after a few seconds.
1. I navigate to ooc main site and immediately click on the "Forums" sub section (right side of "News"). The sub section loads properly, but clicks are not registered afterwards, for several seconds, on anything you click.
2. I navigate to ooc main site. Wait 3 seconds. Click on the "forums" sub section. Nothing happens for several seconds. Then finally, it's actually like the "news" link got clicked and that opens up instead.
3. Even writing this comment lagged severely at the start, right after opening this thread. I was writing letters but they didn't show up immediately, or showed up with a delay of several seconds. After the first 4-5 words, everything was fine.
This card is so underwhelming it's not even funny. Committing your deck to fill all locations for an extra 6 power for a 4 mana card, that can be cancelled by Enchantress is a recipe for disaster, especially on how many locations can destroy you. Unless people don't run this card or get lucky. I'd never spend tokens for this card. Won't even play it if they give it for free.
Probably the most fun deck to play it in is the Thanos one, yet i'm not sure about the win rating.
Except for the first 10-15 seconds of every page/section load. Which everyone seems to avoid talking about for whatever reason.
Other than that, yea, it's awesome.

Just a quick question: are the loading issues with the pages gonna be fixed on this site, or should we expect/wait for a transition to out of games?
I think space mmos are getting traction lately. Spacebourne 2, star citizen etc. But it depends how many people actually play them on this site.
I actually wasn't. Never found a link to it or something obvious to make me take a look.
@Flux: i hope everything will work out ok and that out.of.everything will take off :D
Probably diversifying away from card games is the next move. Maybe into some Steam games.
We need something that stops "always active" effects.
Also the first player advantage needs to go. Cards that remove stuff need to affect unrevealed cards also.

Still, 50% still seems like too much.
Except for the first deck, all others seem to have an invalid code, as it's not recognized by the game. Any ideas?

For whatever reason i cannot paste the decks' codes into the game. Getting an error about no valid deck code in the clipboard.
Do i have to have all cards for it to work? Shouldn't it get filled with what i got?
Wes's deck code has something wrong in it.
Why is this showing up in the latest threads section, from 15h ago, when the last post is over 2 years old? :)
Why isn't this described as "destroy a FRIENDLY minion"?? :D
Powercreep is getting out of hand even more
Meeh now i have to rethink my deck that I was really enjoying. FFS.
Ben brode and the stealth nerfs... he can't even make an in-game popup for it. Let alone a button to gracefully close the app...
This lack of basic stuff is becoming annoying.
Any news on this issue?
