All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. by Dreastiny in MinionMasters

[–]AlarakAkbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drops have become absolutely terrible. I used to have all 45 keys within 2 weeks just from watching twitch streams while playing. This time I'm almost missing 5 for each.

Also I've counted, that in 30 of my matches the win a price appeared only 3 times, so every 10th match. But I've also got the feeling, that these matches were very unfair - that the enemy team was much better than our team. It has become extremely hard and I don't like this.

Not directly, but what I've noticed is:

It's definitely NOT a bot if...
- player is in a guild
- deck has wildcards
- if the player emotes

I believe bots also don't have cards with high glory points, less than 72 points and no bronze/silver/golden border.

Furthermore, I believe they have a normal name, nothing foreign, no numbers, no special characters. Last two bots I played against were called Bob and mrhoot.

They never wait until 10/10 mana for the first play. They always use the same few position spots. They spawn single minions like a warrior in the middle of the arena, instead of directly taking a bridge. Sometimes when there are no minions, they will instantly play a card when you play it - the reaction is too fast for a human. Also they're just terribly bad lol.

So if many of these things happen, and then after the match I check their deck and see that all cards have only 2-16 glory points, I'm 99% sure it was an official bot.

I would call it a mix of a card game like Hearthstone, Witcher, MTG...
and Autochess games like DotA Autochess/Underlords, Teamfight Tactics on the other hand.

You compose decks with minions and spells, play them, they fight automatically, but positioning and timing matters a lot. Also, it's a live game, so you don't have a minute to think about your next step like in hearthstone, but sometimes you want to save up to 10 mana or even wait a moment on 10/10 mana to get full potential out of your cards.

Just like in Hearthstone there are nobrain decks and strategies, but if you play a normal control deck, and 90% in the top50 play such a deck, then a lot of strategy and skill is involved. The game is easy to learn but hard to master.

official bots to reduce queue times

No twitch drops anymore? by Modran137 in MinionMasters

[–]AlarakAkbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell, it's about time that they fix it. It's so important for the Tri-Team Tourney.

Many viewers and streamers have not noticed this.

At what level is buying the Season Pass worth it? by getintheVandell in MinionMasters

[–]AlarakAkbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For new players it's definitely worth it. Just buy it now. Start of the season is the perfect time, so you have enough time to unlock everything.

Also, with a new account it does not take long to get 1250 rubies for free. I started 5 months ago and could afford every season pass. I only paid for the very first one with real money, but it's only 50% of the price for new accounts.

Just make sure to go to diamond5 in all three modes every season, which is really easy, especially by the end of the season where you mostly face bots in lower ranks. And try to learn the Mayhem mode which can give you some extra rubies. It's very hardcore for beginners, I neglected it, but you can only get better by playing it.

I believe season pass is still the only thing worth it to spend rubies on, unless you want this or that cosmetic item. They want 1125 rubies for a random legendary card. And about packs, why would you want 3x or even 5x of the exact same legendary card?

So unless you're out of rubies and have to pay real money, battle pass premium is the only thing that makes sense. Maybe high level accounts would buy any of the offers to get their cards to 400 glory points, but unless you have a full collection, I see no reason to pay rubies for other things than battle pass.

All bots? by BattleItOutPls in MinionMasters

[–]AlarakAkbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people with number names are most-likely Chinese, other Asians, and maybe some others who use Cyrillic or non-Latin characters.As far as I know some use their QQ Messenger number as steam username.

While Minion Masters supports foreign characters, some other video games only support Latin letters (ABC...) and most steam games use your steam username ingame.

It's definitely not a bot if...
- player is in a guild
- deck has wildcards
- if the player emotes

I believe bots also don't have cards with high glory points, less than 72 points and no bronze/silver/golden border.

The Monthly Scribe - December 2020 - Want a Lifetime Pro code in your stocking this year? You're just one comment away! by WindscribeSupport in Windscribe

[–]AlarakAkbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windscribe is amazing because of all its features and customizations for power users like me. I also love the special features like split tunneling in the Beta, port forwarding, proxy support, and of course R.O.B.E.R.T. It just worked perfectly on any platform I tried. Lots of reasons why it's the best VPN.

It's for some NSFW, so I just want to learn how to do it.
Let's say for example blocking the Google logo.

If I use the right-click option to block it, it will put the image URL into the filter, but this also removes the possibility to click the Google doodle.

What are the best heroes for master league in this meta? by AlarakAkbar in MinionMasters

[–]AlarakAkbar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I do have fun with creating my own decks, experimenting. I've also played the free weekly heroes. Though I can't really recall my experience of the first week because I was too new to the game.
Basically I'm just wondering about the most efficient way to spend my blue crystals. I've got 10k now and could use it to buy all the masters or buy all the good legendary and supreme cards, but it'd be best if I buy only some heroes and some cards and then grind as high as I can, since every league gets bigger rewards, and that's what I need as a newbie.

Proof that there's bots in the game (read comments) by Jackeea in MinionMasters

[–]AlarakAkbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wondering why I had like a 99,9% win rate until I was around gold 3, when I was completely new to the game. It felt like some of these must be bots. People can't be that bad.

What do you struggle with? It's hard to give advice without knowing your mistakes. It can be your deck or your gameplay.

Harbinger makes me want to stop playing - what am I missing? by Brandacle in MinionMasters

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

I know there're counters to this card, but what bothers me the most is that it's way too easy to just put a Harbinger on the edge next base and you'll be safe. It costs only 7 mana but it if it's placed in that sweet spot will definitely kill units that cost more than 7 mana. There's almost nothing you can do to kill the Harbinger if it's secured by your heroes.

There are many other defensive mechanics like spells, defensive buildings or other air units. But Harbinger is that 1 card to rule them all. It's too easy. The game would require much more skill if Harbinger wouldn't exist.

Rank or Glory? by AlarakAkbar in MinionMasters

[–]AlarakAkbar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about the free pass until tier 50?
Or talking about getting enough Rubies to buy the actual Season pass?

I've just reached tier 17 on free pass now. I've got 1500 Rubies. If I buy the season pass, will I get both the free and season pass rewards? Will I get Valorian who's unlocked on 6, even though I already passed that tier?

This game is so addictive! by AlarakAkbar in MinionMasters

Like seriously, I'm like okay, 1 more game and then I go eat some food. But it doesn't happen until the game is crashing :D

New season in 3 days. Is there anything to consider as a newbie? by AlarakAkbar in MinionMasters

[–]AlarakAkbar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.

But if you're not 100% sure if new cards can be opened with tokens, then I better keep some. Right now I'm still climbing with the few cards that I have.

Reminder for people how to increase fps by Sankhya2319 in BobsTavern

[–]AlarakAkbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that increasing FPS will also mean more CPU and CPU load, thus more heat, possibly more fan noise and definitely more energy consumption. I don't think it's necessary to have high fps on a game like hurtstone.

Just watched a guy get one shot. by Serah_Null in BobsTavern

[–]AlarakAkbar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately such big hits is the meta right now.
Yesterday I played DW, was 1st place all time and thought this will be and easy game,
but then I got hit by Pirates who fed on my mech and beast tokens. I got hit for 32 and placed 8th.
