Gaming

This game is:

1. Super f2p friendly, it is probably the most f2p friendly card game right now. rewards and packs keep dropping from nowhere, you can craft a meta deck in no time.

2. Mostly skill-based, every game I lose, I know why I lost, I could've played things differently etc... It has almost no rng.

3. Beautiful artwork and sounds.

4. It has awesome developers, focusing on developing and balancing the game.

5. Deckbuilding is super fun, there are many layers of deckbuilding.

6. On the appstore, it has a rating of 4.8 (coming to android in first quarter of 2019, it is available for PC)

Here are some reviews of people who have played this game, articulating their thoughts better than mine:

So, I'm curious to know already, what are your current favourite non-card games? Let's find new favourite games! My favourites at the moment are definitely destiny 2 and halo reach, bungo knows how to do good games!

The new event starts this Friday in TESL. Here are the details.

Take a chance this weekend with the newest event in The Elder Scrolls: Legends: the Lucky Gauntlet!

Lucky Gauntlet: December 20 - 23

In the Lucky Gauntlet, the usual Field and Shadow Lanes are swapped out for a larger, five-creature Field Lane and a special three-creature Lucky Lane. Creatures summoned into the Lucky Lane gain a random keyword, which could lead to all kinds of serendipitous plays!

Will that last-minute Guard or Charge creature come to save the day? Only one way to find out! Entry in the Lucky Gauntlet costs three (3) Event Tickets or 500 Gold, with up to three runs allowed.

The Lucky Gauntlet begins Friday, December 20 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, December 23. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!

Here are the results for the latest Gauntlet event in TESL (yes, there are still players showing up).

Congratulations to the top 100 players from this weekend's Allegiance Gauntlet!

There's a cool tribute video on Reddit for TESL. It made me all warm and happy inside. =) [source]

Even though the game is no longer in production the servers are still up and they intend to continue running events. Here's info for the upcoming Gauntlet.

Swear loyalty to your favorite attribute in The Elder Scrolls: Legends’ next event, the Allegiance Gauntlet!

Allegiance Gauntlet: December 13 – December 16

In this event, players must construct decks using cards of only one attribute. No dual- or triple-attribute cards are allowed! (Neutral cards can still be included in your mono-attribute decks, however.)

Each run through the Allegiance Gauntlet costs one (1) Event Ticket or 150 Gold, up to three maximum runs.

The Allegiance Gauntlet begins Friday, December 13 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, December 16. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!

HUGE NEWS! Farewell, Sparkypants. We will miss you!

To all our fans,

As you may have already heard, Bethesda has shared news regarding future content for The Elder Scrolls: Legends. From the moment we were given the privilege to work on the game we have been nothing short of obsessed with making it the best it possibly could be. Completely rebuilding a pre-existing title from scratch under deadline with a new client, game server, and backend was no easy feat, with every system, gameplay nuance, animation, and visual effect having to be recreated. The result was a mad dash to initial release that was decidedly rough, but we, along with Bethesda, loved the game, wanted it to continue, and had been working heads down on a shared vision we hoped to bring to all Legends players.

Over these last 18 months the connection we experienced from the Legends community has been wonderfully uplifting. You supported us through every release and some significant bumps in the road. You challenged us when we missed the mark and that helped us to learn and grow. Nothing was more enjoyable than seeing your excitement from each expansion, feature addition, and requested quality of life change. You put a smile on our collective face every time with your kind words and passion. Truly we couldn't have asked for a better fan base. We love you.

Moving forward it is up to Bethesda to decide the shape of ongoing support for Legends. Most questions should now be directed to CVH or Customer Service. As far as the Asian version goes, while it is being built on our reworked version of Legends we've not been directly involved beyond the very occasional consultation. But we're excited to see where they take it! With that said, please know that we are still around. Some of us have moved on to other endeavors, but a core of us are still here, always open to a quick chat. <3

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts and to Bethesda for being a great partner. It's been a heck of a time.

All the best,

The Sparkypants Team

• The new Gauntlet runs from Dec. 6-9.
• You can have up to 6 copies of each card in your deck.
• Full collection unlocked for everyone.

This weekend, we’re introducing a brand-new event for The Elder Scrolls: Legends and offering up an alternate art card to collect. Prepare for the Hexagauntlet!

Hexagauntlet: December 6 – December 9
In this event, players can include up to six copies of each card in their deck. (Unique Legendaries are still only allowed one copy per deck.)

Furthermore, the minimum deck sizes will be like that of the Micro Gauntlet - 30 cards for one- or two-attribute decks and 45 cards for three-attribute decks. Don’t have six copies of your favorite cards lying around? Fret not – for this event, the full collection will be unlocked for all players, so brew to your heart’s content!

Participants will also receive one (1) alternate art copy of Unstoppable Rage for completing a run through the Hexagauntlet! Each run through the Hexagauntlet costs three (3) Event Tickets or 500 Gold, up to three maximum runs.

The Hexagauntlet begins Friday, December 6 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, December 9. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!

TLDR: Send me a DM and I'll send you a Steam key for my new single player card game, Tales of the Deck.

The land is in danger, and retro RPG card strategy is its only hope! Gather a party of three brave pixel heroes, each with unique spell cards. As a single player, adventure through a series of monsters and tactical challenges. Fall in battle, and your story is cut short. Should you defeat the evil bosses, your story will be forever told in the Tales of the Deck.

This release marks the beginning of our alpha testing, and we want you! Yes, YOU! In the near future, we'll be entering early access on Steam. We have a set of core rules, but would like to grow the game over time with the help of our players. That's where you come in. You got ideas? We want them. Is something OP? Let us know. Found a bug? Well, you get the idea.

Do you have what it takes? Then send me a DM, and I'll send you a Steam product key for alpha testing.

We'll take feedback through any medium we can get it, but we try to keep in-depth discussions to our discord (https://discord.gg/S9zDcpQ). That way we can get the community in on the conversation. Stop on by, and join the fun.

On login you can get some free stuff for Thanksgiving. Don't miss out!

Details for the upcoming Gauntlet format for TESL.

Big plays, not-so-big decks. The Micro Gauntlet begins November 29!

We’re combining elements of this month’s past Gauntlets – the Twin Gauntlet and the Mini Gauntlet – and fusing them into an all-new event for The Elder Scrolls: Legends! Get ready for the Micro Gauntlet.

Micro Gauntlet: November 29 – December 2
In the Micro Gauntlet, the minimum deck size is condensed to just 30 cards for two-attribute decks or 45 cards for thee-attribute decks. Additionally, only up to two copies of each card may be included in a deck. (Unique Legendary cards are still limited to one copy per deck)

For this event, players must take serious consideration which cards to run - we can’t wait to see what kind of Micro-brews you all will come up with! Each run through the Micro Gauntlet costs one Event Ticket or 150 Gold, up to three maximum runs.

The Micro Gauntlet begins Friday, November 29 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, December 2. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!

Make sure you log into the game client soon, so you can collect your FREE 3600 worth of Soul Gems being refunded due to recent Invade changes.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends (TESL) is a free to play card game from Bethesda. Find out more details and download it from the official website.

The reward this month in The Elder Scrolls: Legends will be the Rimmen Purveyor. It's already drawing huge criticism and early calls for a nerf. What are your thoughts? Get your own copy by making it to rank 9 on the ladder before the end of the month.

Just not 3.

Valve Software on Twitter made their first tweet.
https://twitter.com/valvesoftware/status/1196566870360387584

We’re excited to unveil Half-Life: Alyx, our flagship VR game, this Thursday at 10am Pacific Time. Can’t wait to share it with all of you!

My mind = blown. After leaks this morning that Half-Life: Alyx was going to be a thing, and ones that looked very reliable, I thought we'd be in the dark until the actual announcement but it looks like Valve went and took charge on it to confirm.

It has been a long time since Half-Life 2 Episode 2, and although this is not likely to be a continuation of the story due to the "Flagship VR" nature of the game, getting to go back into that universe with 2019 tech is going to ROCK.

I don't even know what I want out of it. That oculus sure is going to come in handy though!

What class will you play to level? 

I recently had a lot of fun with a Witch Doctor and then the last days with a monk and the new Set which already drops after the patch. Got all pieces and its insane power increase (from 4 to 6 pieces) and fun to play sort of. Might get boring after a while :) Set is also looking great.

I did some 65 HR with 6xx paragon some ancients and some specific gear for build. Maybe will finally get that 70 HR! Problem is definitely not the dmg I do (with some deaths I clear with 5 mins left) but they tend to one-shot you at some point.

i'm not sure yet, but i think, i will get it.

New game launched yesterday. Seems to have great reviews. Anybody here tried it?

So I'm going to be playing Classic WoW as a priest with 4 other friends being Alliance side and on a PVP server.
I've played multiple private realms so I know what I'm in for with classic.

I have a raiding background but I'm not going to be spending enough time to be doing any top tier raiding.
I'm planning to do PVP, run high-level dungeon content and some minor raiding.

I'm pretty torn between whether to play Human or Nightelf 
My argument for Night Elf is that some of the players in my group haven't played since Cata or have only ever played for a short time, they get the general hang of it but there will most likely be some accidental pulls here and there.
I want to be ready for any possible wipes with Meld and ress,wether out in the world or in the dungeons.

For Human I like their tasty 5% spirit, desperate payer is sweet too - but I really don't want to be kicking myself every time we have to do a run back to our corpses.

Let me know what you think :)

Anyone else a fan? Anyone got any mods that will work on Windows 10?

I played this game all the way up until 2016.

Too bad the queue time is hours long and by the time I can get in there, I would have used up all my time earmarked for gaming lol

What are you guys rolling? :)
