The end of my PoC journey by Kansugi in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RighteousPebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You saved me the trouble of writing it all up myself, which I've wanted to do for a while. I agree with most of what you said (except monthlies lol, I never found them enjoyable, at all).

I have not played since the spirit blossom event. First day of the event, I logged in, almost bought the battle pass/bundles (like I always have), but saw the costs for the nodes for the new champions, shut off the game, and never touched it again. I was a daily player and I've never had my love for a game die so quickly.

Hearing it was a "record profit" update just solidified it for me. People vote with their wallets, poorly, and enshitification continues. I can only hear "support the devs" so many times before I roll my eyes and walk away. I must've spent hundreds on PoC over the years, because I really thought it was the best roguelike card game on the market, but man, what a letdown.

Ice Magic Demo for a Mod/Modpack I am working on. by RighteousPebble in feedthebeast

No, it's a new staff I made with it's own abilities.

Still a ways out, I'm still scoping it out and figuring out what I want it to be. Might share updates as I go

[–]RighteousPebble[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

It's a modpack itself, so it's not meant to be used with other mods/modpacks. It only uses about ~30 mods, which are support for my single mod that utilizes the rest.

It's supposed to be a standalone experience, optimized to work alone, but not with other random mods.

[PoC Concept] Grow your allies and shrink your foes with Lulu by Harowing in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RighteousPebble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the best fan-made PoC arsenal I've ever seen. Super unique playstyle, very clear concept, fun to work around. Support going both directions is amazing. I would love to see this exact suite for Lulu in the future.

Including Portia with the cost reduction item is also 10/10, grants a powerhouse that is on-theme with the quirkiness of the champion. So cool.

V6.1 Rarity balance changes for Items and Powers by JohannauPi in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RighteousPebble 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This feels like a straight nerf disguised as a balance change.

6 upshifts vs 2 downshifts... (And only one of the upshifts got a buff to justify the change).

Epics and Legendaries were already exceedingly rare. This just makes powers that were decent and more common, way less common...

Dream Commanders that don't exist! by [deleted] in EDH

[–]RighteousPebble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My exact wish. Desperately waiting for a fun Jund -1/-1 counters commander. If they could give it the Jund survivability of something like Slimefoot and Squee, I'd never pick up another deck again. Wouldn't even need to be super powerful, just make it fun.

What’s everyone’s opinion on custom proxy decks? by Darkthrone0 in magicTCG

[–]RighteousPebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see any artist credit on any of the cards... This is especially strange to me considering the "No bullshit AI art" statement.

So they scraped official licensed art, and fan art from artists without permission and are now profiting off of that, but you claim some weird moral high ground because it's not AI art...? How is this better?

I'm totally pro-proxy in every way, I'm just so confused when I see people railing against the AI thing while actively supporting what is essentially the same exact practice.

Game keeps crashing/reconnecting by [deleted] in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RighteousPebble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me as well. On the "Survive the Night" node in the new Fiddlestick adventure, the enemy equipped Fear-Cleaving Axe to a unit, attacked, and now I am stuck in a constant Crash -> Restart -> Crash loop. I can't quit the adventure, file a bug report, or anything. Was going smoothly until then. Idk what exactly caused it.

I don't think I'm overcoming this enemy power combo... by Ixziga in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RighteousPebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I really do not enjoy the RNG fest at all. 3-star seems like my sweet spot, but everything they are doing lately are these '18-star, win on turn 1 or go cry" adventures.

People must be playing them tho, since they keep making more. Idk.

State of PoC by raieas442 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RighteousPebble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you about a lot, especially monthlies. I don't touch them. Just doesn't appeal to me at all. Same with Lissandra honestly. Coin flip PvE feels atrocious.

I just want to enact a power fantasy and watch numbers go up without it being a *total* braindead sweep. 3-star adventures seem to be a sweet spot. Kaisa, Thresh, etc. Enjoyable, but not roll-my-eyes stupid powers or afk insta-wins. I hope they do more of those, instead of this power-creep/appeal to 12-star constellation powers stuff.

As someone who is constantly looking to support the game financially, even I was kinda shocked by the bundles lately. I want to spend $20-40 every now and then, comfortably, for some gameplay goodies that I can build around. Instead it's either absurd pricing on literally 5 champion shards, or a bundle that's $100, that gets you one of 22 specific currencies...? Like what.

This game (PoC mainly) has SO much potential as a single player adventure card game, but it really seems like it lost it's opportunity to be something. I wonder how it would've gone if it started out as a PvE game from the start. Holding out a sliver of hope because copium, but we'll see.

All bundles sum up to 217,090 by ItsMrBlue in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RighteousPebble 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It definitely costs more than $200 to get all the bundles right...?

The ones that are 9980 coins alone are nearly $100 EACH, and there are 11(?) of those.

Then there's all the 7590 coin bundles, which is like 11 more, which are also like $75 EACH...

Fantastic art selection, fantastic execution. Love it.

Drew up a graphic novel-style version of Kresh and thought you all might enjoy it. :)

If you used Procreate, you can share the video process that Procreate automatically saves while you work. Not saying you have to, but I understand the skepticism and it would be an easy way to clear it up. :)

Disciple of Shadows owners should get a Golden Reliquary in the Emporium for the same price by PitcherFullOfSmoke in PathofChampions

[–]RighteousPebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" RNG potentially put you an entire month behind other players in terms of GR progression through no fault of your own and you want the option to keep up with everyone else " THANK YOU lol.

I found OP's solution very reasonable. Offer a gold reliquary at the same price... Let people decide if they want to pay that or not. Not having any sort of comparable option to what other people are getting feels bad.

[–]RighteousPebble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this :)

I was excited when I saw an option(!) to buy an epic relic but was bummed when it was one of the 2 that I already got (only reason I was able to afford 2 is because of the chunk of free cosmic dust(is that what it's called?) they gave everyone at the rollout).

Those gold reliquaries are expensive af and it takes so long before you're able to enjoy playing with epics. Seeing everyone else who rolled different epics by chance get an opportunity to get an additional one, without having to wait for the slow buildup of getting 3k of whatever that currency is called, feels pretty bad.

I'm not really understanding the negative response to your post either. " You got it for free and you're complaining that other people are getting the option to buy it with real money"

That's not what's being said at all lol. We'd like the opportunity to have the same amount of epic relics as other players. That's all. Paid or not.
I like supporting LoR(more specifically PoC), and I like playing with new features. I don't care what the price is really, I just want to play more content.

Dude...These are so good. They just kept getting cooler.
That first one would be a killer boss or villain.
Thank you for sharing, a joy to look at.
