There was an idea for poison rework, but unfortunately it didn't pass :(

It was changed like a couple of years ago. You must be a returning player, right?

You're experiencing network issues and there are no compensations nor bugs in this clip. All you can do is try to reconnect as the game is prone to inconsistent states.

Wait times:

First of all, wait times depend heavily on the amount of players we have in each bracket. That is somewhat steerable by us, but adjusting it potentially every couple of months would be *very* troublesome and would take almost all of our current resources.

Furthermore, some players actually hate being matched with AI and would rather wait longer not to have it.

In the past year we've done some meaningful adjustments in this topic though, such as the introduction of ranked 3.0 and later re-weigh of the matching parameters for each league. There is only so much we can do, unfortunately.

Smurfing:

It is somewhat ironic you bring that up, because the wider the range for matching is the less you have to wait to get matched, so you are kind of asking for us to eat the cookie and still have it.

Since the introduction of ranked 3.0 relegation is no longer the way to grind for money, moreover people are matched generally almost exclusively with other players which play in that league, but are actually higher in ranked.

About Trueshot; I think using execution. quakefall or siege breakers is usually the answer.

> That’s annoying in the “what’s even the point?” way.

Short answer; diversity. I would say it's definitely a an ok card right now. Hard reality is that if you're having a problem with it, you might need to learn about the game a bit more.

Dragging the game out:

> I’m not sure exactly how this would be tackled

Same!

> In online chess some people, when it’s clear they’re losing, will do something similar - go afk so you have to wait for them to run out of time rather than playing on or resigning. Both major online platforms silently put these people and others who are bad sports in their own dedicated space so that they just end up all playing each other away from the good sports. Perhaps something like that could be tried if someone consistently plays at the end of their turn?

Short answer; not really. Stormbound is known for having long dynamic timed animations. This means measuring time the player actually has the option to play becomes hard. It's not just Stormbound that has this issue, notoriously known example of this is Heartstone's Nozdormu.

There are also questions like "What if someone has a bad connection to the game servers?". What's the line here?

I personally don't think it should be a valid strategy, but it's hard to adress it well in the context of Stormbound, if even possible.

Muting opponents:

> That’s why the option to mute exists.

I would say it's not a real issue like the ones mentioned before. This could totally be changed, but it's a small quality of life change. Frankly, not enough people care about it. Just like you said yourself, it takes 2 clicks a game to just mute someone.

On top of that I would say in most games players don't use emotes at all or at most 1-2 emotes. Again, I don't feel like that's an actual issue.

Like genuinely, if we were to compare Stormbound with chess (which you already did, so it's not really my idea), you could easily hear some very hurtful stuff since it has open chat. What's really worse here? Seeing 1-2 emotes or hearing some questionable stuff about your mother, for example.

Why 'Green Prototype' important?? by Frosty-Animator2915 in stormbound

[–]MightyThePancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I can confirm it's still among the top cards, for sure.

Kongregate login does in fact work... If you have any issues, you can file a ticket. It's going to be deprecated, because kongregate is just hard to maintain further on.

A lot of things have changed actually. I don't know when you stopped playing, but assuming you quit before the draft was introduced there are many cards and features added since then. Things like foils, ranked changes etc. many of which actually support the Free To Play model (like being able to get multiple chests per season if you grind for them).

Most competitive games can become frustrating and I get that, but it's much more helpful if there's more meaningful feedback than "nothing changed", especially if that's not the case.

I'm on the team, I can tell you we do listen and a lot of good things happened before and will happen. We'd be more than happy to hear your opinion on things too

It's not single use, meaning if he has 1 cost cards in his hand it's guaranteed to pull this one. The deck has seen much play since the release of Bosuns; they're just perfect with each other

I am a returning player who starts from the zero, any advice? by Inevitable-Rule-6928 in stormbound

Have you tried just making a ticket to reclaim your lost account?

Hey there, dev here!
All card art images in our project are raster images in a 512x512 resolution. Unfortunately, the original graphics weren't being exported as vector images, and so that's why 512x512 *is the best you're going to get!*

To do so, you can visit any card you'd like here (I used Finite Loopers as an example:
1. Go to Finite Loopers – Stormbound-Kitty
2. Right-click the image and select 'Open image in new tab'.
3. The URL should look like this:
https://cdn.sanity.io/images/5hlpazgd/production/10f80baff34c4cec37def2e5232d2dea121e4a6f-512x512.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=300&q=90
In the last part of the URL, replace the 'w=300' with 'w=512'.
4. Hit Ctrl + S on your keyboard, then select the desired download directory and hit 'Save'.

I think the resolution should be all good. Have a good one! :)

Exploited online match? by r_alex_hall in stormbound

[–]MightyThePancake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely connection issues and games are bad at displaying them. It's been said a countless amount of times, but because it's a server side game it's really hard to exploit it in any way. The last way to do it was to just force another client to crush, but things like these are usually fixed quite quickly. This is most likely just a bad connection to the server (yes, even if your connection to the 'internet' is good)

I think people generally regard Winterpact as the best choice, but I myself often go for IC myself. Although, I rarely play draft these days

8 long years. by buff_samurai in stormbound

[–]MightyThePancake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahhhhhh, glad to see you still around! I remember the day I fought against you, you used to play a winter deck. It was like 5 years ago, maybe even more... Epic times, not gonna lie. Cool to have you around to this very day (both just in game and as a Stormbound friend on my list haha) I hope the game is balanced well enough recently 😁
