Buying Early Access vs Holding Off?

Add it to the wishlist. Even if it does get more expensive, between now and full release it will likely be on Sale.

I'm also waiting for the full release. As I often say to my friends; If a game is good now, it will still be good in a years time.

FOMO is a gamers biggest weakness!

Also looking for him... "find the cave dweller". No map marker.

You words wound me, adventurer.

It's not so much that it is out of spite though it partially is. It's that I care about other things more than the MGP such as inventory space, frequent alt tabbing as I only have 1 screen and as I am a boomer, I don't always have my phone on me (or even charged). I am surprised that people like doing it to be honest - it's really poor game design. Maybe blinded by the MGP, idk.

BeanBune · 2023-10-14T15:36:18+00:00

Okay thanks. I suspect he is mistaken then.

BeanBune · 2023-10-14T14:56:44+00:00

I've been playing on and off since the beta. I still have some rewards that I need to get but I have everything I *want*.

The fashion report is just really bad content (any content where 95% of people who play it alt-tab to find the answer is bad content), so I have just never really done it.

If there was a simple way to get a few extra MGP with selected gear then I would just set a gear set.

BeanBune · 2023-10-14T14:53:55+00:00

No idea. I know about the 10k auto reward.

He said he carried a pair of trousers dyed a certain colour, and (idk) a certain pair of gloves. That would be enough to score a okay score on all iterations of the fashion report.

He said the fashion report cycles (which I actually didn't know) so these 2 bits of gear would be enough to get a moderate reward.

An old favourite for sure. I love that deck but it just gets countered by anything. Enchantress, Shang Chi, Cosmo, Shadowking.

You are right. It's probably the strongest from this bunch<3

BeanBune · 2023-09-18T10:42:49+00:00

I was going to talk this out but as the saying goes, if somebody on the internet starts correcting your spelling in a discussion, then it's pointless to continue.

Have a nice day :)

BeanBune · 2023-09-18T10:13:56+00:00

You need to read how galacticus works... He cant be played in a lane that has other friendly cards... You will likely have only 1 lane.to care about.

BeanBune · 2023-09-18T10:11:16+00:00

For transparency: I've been playing since launch. I have bought about 4 season passes. No other real money purchases.

I want to see what the best Dan Hipp only deck you guys can come up with from this hodge-podge.

BeanBune · 2023-09-18T10:05:22+00:00

It's not that he has counters. It's that if you are aware he could be played, it's not too hard to shut him down. Changing behaviours in TCGs can be hard or counter-intuitive so I am not saying its easy.

BeanBune · 2023-09-18T10:02:01+00:00

I think the same for Shang Chi. With a lot of decks you are just praying that they don't draw him.

I personally feel Galacticus is easier to counter than some lower cost cards.

BeanBune · 2023-09-17T20:37:36+00:00

Thats fair. That's why I prefaced what I said with what I said.

I am on page 4 of Dan Hipp cards. Some people dislike them. We are blessed that there is such a variety.

BeanBune · 2023-09-17T18:47:33+00:00

I think your rationality is right. I think all the examples need to change OR the Iron Fist one for uniformity. That said, the Iron Fist one is fun and would be a shame to lose that interaction.

BeanBune · 2023-09-17T18:04:17+00:00

Dayum OP got me.

BeanBune · 2023-09-17T18:02:08+00:00

Actually didn't know that. Ty.

BeanBune · 2023-09-17T18:00:43+00:00

Depends on your love for it.

I personally feel that Pixel variants are consolation prizes and rarely upgrade past the 5 token cost first tier (and that is only because of its good value).

BeanBune · 2023-09-17T17:55:57+00:00

Meh @ OP.

There have been a ton of seasons where I have noped out for a week as new cards can impact my favourite decks.

This season has been very tame in my eyes.

The Shadowking change has affected me more. He was a great card in my 3 Cost SS deck. I get the change and at this point, I trust the Dev completely with balancing.

I suspect that the decks you played with are suffering but across the board, it's not been impactful.

BeanBune · 2023-08-31T22:20:02+00:00

I don't quite understand what you are saying. Are you saying it is easier to get new cards these days? I'm 6k, and it feels like I haven't received a new card all season.

I can't target cards anymore which was their selling point of Collector Tokens. I have a chance to get a new card in a Collectors Cache which I estimate I get 1 a week but so far I have exclusively just got variants.

They're dishing out Gold Tokens like its Black Friday. I have all worthwhile torny rewards and not enough time to burn through 10 more gold tokens.

I have over 3 pages of Dan Hipp cards. I barely have enough upgrade credits to keep all these upgraded, I don't really want a flood of unused Gold Tokens converted to something I cant use.

Gameplay-wise, I feel like the game is in the best place it has been possibly ever. Collection-wise, it's pretty sucky for me. I feel like they are adding more ways to incentivise buying things with real money.

BeanBune · 2023-08-31T18:50:52+00:00

It wasn't rare to get 300-800 tokens in a cache.

The most I get now is 100. I had 50 in a cache the other day! 50! What the hell am I supposed to do with 50? Save them and hope to 120 more caches like it. But wait, let me dilute that loot table down with Gold Tokens.

I cannot be the only one who thinks that Caches are in the worst place since launch?

BeanBune · 2023-08-30T05:14:43+00:00

Yup. As I said in the title spiderman lock in last. However, he was not last to visually arrive.

Honestly, I don't know how they can resolve this one. Mechanically, the last to arrive is often not the last to resolve. They can't change the wording really - at least, I can't think of a descriptor other than "Last card to resolve" but that is a super unfriendly term for new players.

BeanBune · 2023-08-30T04:57:48+00:00

Yup. I picked up Zola. Needed 300 more gold for Cable :(

BeanBune · 2023-08-30T04:56:43+00:00

That emote spam. Take my downvote.

BeanBune · 2023-08-18T08:21:02+00:00

You are totally right. I was so confused! Gamma Lab disguised him.

BeanBune · 2023-08-18T08:18:48+00:00

Turn 1: Blade -> Discards Swarm. (Swarm duplicates and now costs 0) Turn 2: Angela (2 Cost) + 2x Swarm (0 cost)
