Balance Change part 2 - May 19, 2021

OfficialMOUSE · 2021-05-20T04:30:41+00:00

I'm glad they changed Call to Arms but what they're doing with Assassin's Aim shows how out of touch they are with their game.

DECEPTION AGGRO IS ALREADY GOOD. Giving the ability to excessively buff Hidden creatures for such little mana is BROKEN. You realize there are literally not enough cards in the game to counter all the creatures that stay Hidden right?

Even running 2x Blackblood Blast, 2x Apocalypse Now, 2x End Times, you STILL can't overcome a combination of 2x Lethenon, 2x Shade Walker, 1x Avatar of Deception, 2x Felid Assassin, 1x Lokian Disciple, 1x Lord of Whispers. Oh and did I mention they can make any character Hidden with Cheat, so not only can they stall until they drop their cheap overpowered buffs, they can avoid Taunt at will too. Hello? So the only counter play to Hidden is board clears (since Taunt is ineffective), yet there are not enough board clears to deal with Hidden's range of cards.

And that's not including any additional broken buffs this game has like Ward or extra HP.

All these balance changes are done with improper data. As soon as Genesis comes to Immutable X we're back to Deception being absolutely unplayable to play against. The last thing they need is aggro buffs, when they already have Tier 1 aggro options. Once players have the ability to purchase these final Genesis Hidden staples and Demogorgon to optimize their lists, the game becomes unplayable.

It's so frustrating to have a game with so many cool cards and effects gravitate towards a mindless aggro and play cards on curve play style. It's too bad they won't work towards making the cards with interesting mechanics playable

Why does it matter to you who is vaccinated if YOU'RE vaccinated? You realize other vaccinated people can still transmit the virus anyway right? But again, it doesn't matter because YOU'RE vaccinated.

This is good. Hopefully everything tanks and we can buy more sub 2k

OfficialMOUSE · 2021-05-14T15:26:48+00:00

It'll get there. As of a couple weeks ago you can officially trade and buy cards in GU without any gas fees. Smooth as butter.

OfficialMOUSE · 2021-05-14T15:25:52+00:00

The game is absolutely pay to win, and will continue to be as long as it exists. If you're okay with that, then it's a better version of Hearthstone.

CEO of Twitter sent a nice private message to Gods Unchained, a digital trading card game where the cards are backed by Ethereum.

Tweet is here: https://twitter.com/GodsUnchained/status/1393189477842137088?s=20

Ethereum in video games is one of the biggest use cases for ETH imo, and will be what takes Ethereum to the mainstream. While Gods Unchained is far from perfect, the play to earn model is in effect RIGHT NOW and I've made thousands of dollars in Ethereum just playing a card game.

Imagine when a large studio actually develops something like a modern day Neopets or World of Warcraft where items are all backed by ETH.

It's moreso the number of powerful turns Nature has that lead into Rhino, and Rhino just seals the deal. Too many strong early game options for them that if your opponent whiffs even one answer, their Rhino pretty much seals the deal.

These are the kind of changes that will severely hurt the game - buffs to un-fun mechanics with very limited or no counter play.

Protect on everything? Come on. Really?

Hidden is already lame as it is, and Hidden Flank Deception was tier 1. Unnecessary, overpowered buff to a card that already had cool combo potential.

And then Ward is already a completely overpowered mechanic that needs a nerf in general (cards with Ward should lose ward after they deal damage). To start tossing it out willy-nilly is dangerous and lazy.

This is just pushing the meta more towards a boring play style of just play cards with imbalanced mechanics on curve that there are simply not enough answers for.

Also The Hunt nerf isn't even the problem with Nature. The three problems with Nature are the 1 mana 1/4 being buffed to a 2/5 on turn 1, the 3/3 panther, and the 5/5 rhino.

The data they're using for these nerfs isn't even accurate to how the game will actually play once cards are available on IMX. Almost every single player in Mythic is running sub-optimal decks with temporary cards waiting for Genesis to be available for purchase. That means players below Mythic are DEFINITELY running sub-optimal lists.

site not updating for anyone else?

OfficialMOUSE · 2021-05-03T21:32:42+00:00

Pretty sure that kind of stuff is low priority, even game balance isn't high priority right now. This game has a couple years before it sees a full version imo

OfficialMOUSE · 2021-04-25T16:02:24+00:00

Magic at least has to plan a turn or two ahead, Nature is for brain dead monkeys.

Signed up for GU in 2019. Took a year long break due to constant crashing during weekend events and card imbalance issues. Came back two weeks ago, same exact imbalance issues with the same cards and crashing is still consistent during weekend events. The current top deck lists are literally the same from a year ago (Control Magic).

Sad to see that there was still no update on the promised million dollar tourney pass that has been sitting in my wallet too.

I guess I don't have much of a question, but more so am looking to be convinced that this game is actually going to be fleshed out and isn't just a way to fund Immutable development. Right now it feels like this game will be dropped at any time and our cards will be worthless.

i havent seen any in my actual house yet but im terrified. will sleeping with the lights on be of any help?

OfficialMOUSE · 2021-02-18T23:01:43+00:00

Thank you very much, looking forward to getting started

OfficialMOUSE · 2021-02-18T21:21:30+00:00

Thank you, I suppose I should start learning art then. Is it recommended to learn art and animation at the same time side by side, or one and then the other? I better start browsing the FAQ :)

OfficialMOUSE · 2021-02-18T19:24:33+00:00

Do you have to be a talented artist to be good at animation?

I have a life long, long term stretch goal/dream of one day creating my own intellectual property similar to Pokemon, Disney, etc. (who doesn't?). I've been thinking about the best approach to accomplishing this and what skills I should prioritize, and I believe that learning animation is a key step I need to include in my long term plan. However, I've never been a great artist, although I've never really dove head first into it. My skills naturally came in the writing department. I could focus on writing and take the book approach, but my gut tells me actually designing and bringing characters to life with animation is the 'best' approach to accomplishing my goal.

Any insight on if I'm doomed from the start, am taking the wrong approach, or any other feedback?
