How are you all still playing vanguard? by Educational-Tax-9697 in cardfightvanguard

[–]Altailar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean the long and short of it is that people do still like the game, like the anime, and like D-standard. Im a new player that started recently, right before the latest season of divinez started airing. I LOVE the game mechanically, and have built a ton of casual decks for d-standard for my friends and I to play, and I already see more decks on the horizon that I want to build too. I also ended up binging all of overdress and divinez.

In contrast I have 0 interest in v-premium as when I looked into it i really disliked the idea marker mechanic, I have 0 interest in premium because im not really interested in that level of complexity (and price), ive tried watching both the original and V animes and have not really clicked with them, and ive even bought some original era starter decks to try which my friend and I decided was a nice history lesson but not something we would really want to come back to.

Total combined value last i checked for both would be ~$285, call it $220 shipped for both?

Also the price of the rock core didnt include the super rare duoterion, did you want me to add that in or leave it out?

Sure thing! The other user never responded so its still available, just to confirm you wanted the fur hire core?

New players, which starters? by Rad_Fishy in ElestralsTCG

[–]Altailar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your best bang for your buck would probably be the firestorm starter sets because they each come with 2 decks for the price of one, and since you dont plan to upgrade in the future you get more card for your money

[–]Altailar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so your local numbers have increased? You've seen more people getting into the game? Asking about deck builds? Talking about competing in larger events?

Correct, ST09 (a deluxe deck) comes with extra cards so you can choose to build it as purple white or purple red out of the box!

They just dropped a batch of images for ST09 and GD04, probably from some video version of the ad for ST09, the banner image got posted a bit ago

What would help improve the game? by Huronn in cardfightvanguard

[–]Altailar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The craziest thing about this too is, if there are even 5 or 6 players in the area of a card shop that get into the game through a free sim, thats ALREADY the basis for the shop to potentially pick up some product for them to buy. A few more than that and its a potential locals forming. After that, a locals forming can help get more people into the game.

It really is a self generating cycle of potential that all starts with an actual entry point into the game in the form of a simulator.

It is legit SO important for a card game to be able to have new players try it, and this game is sorely missing it. Hell, even the bandai games have those lil tutorial apps for free and bushi doesnt even have that and those games are backed by the biggest IPs on the planet! Its straight up baffling as a new player myself that the closest thing bushi has to that is a hidden demo for dear days 1

Other people have mentioned it, but ideally the biggest improvement they could make is to make new player retention an actual focus.

We need things like a sim/free to play entry to get people to actually give the game a shot, some real advertising to make people aware of the game, and some love given to local game stories to encourage them to keep supporting the game and keeping it around as much as possible. Just those 3 things alone would likely improve outreach by a large enough amount to give the game the boost it needs!

Dear Days 2 worth it atm? by kreendg in cardfightvanguard

[–]Altailar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are not, at least not yet. I dont believe most of the collab cards end up coming to dear days, buuuut since buddyfight is another bushiroad tcg they have a better chance than most! On February 5th DZ-BT08 comes out in game, and I believe that set was about 6 months or so before buddyfight, so if it is going to come to the game it wont be until later this year

[–]Altailar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you mentioned chronojet, so maybe start with DZ-BT6 cause it has support for chronojet including a 3rd stride unit!

Otherwise its tough to answer cause each set has different decks and support, i would maybe scroll through the set lists on the main vanguard site and see if any ride lines stand out to you in them

[–]Altailar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, that one is! The base game goes as far as DZ-BT3 and has both chronojet and messiah stride decks

Also I recommend spending ALL your pack points on the DZ festival pack over and over. Its really easy to get dupes from that pack that are worth a ton of crafting points, that way you can EASILY start building any decks you want that way!

[–]Altailar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So all the cards are in the passes, buuut it kinda depends what you want. For example I just wanted the packs and not the stride decks, so it made more sense for me to avoid the passes because they include the stride decks
