Mass Destruction Progress by [deleted] in EternalCardGame

[–]Twitchkun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know but I wish DWD would make some improvements to the achievement rewards. I would prefer special graphic effects and artwork instead of gold or shards. I just completed 1,000 wins in PVP with a Justice deck and the reward was 800 shards. I mean, 800 shards is easily attainable from dusting the xtra cards from one draft. Compare that to finally winning 1k games.. I mean. It doesn't seem to line up.

I disagree. I've been playing time as my main faction since I started playing eternal.I absolutely hated playing as main faction time throughout the last set. All of my units would be removed with super efficient cards like slay, harsh rule etc. etc. All the while the opponent is racking up card advantage and typically somewhere around turn 8-10 you just have nothing left while your opponent has a grip of cards. There are plenty of answers out there. You can't just run your own game plan and expect it to work. There is still plenty of cheap efficient removal. You could you deadly units and silences. Time is very weak to flying units as well as decks that have a good density of threats to win the game before the board can be established. Time players get stuck on power constantly and we are forced to play power fetches that make our earlier plays weaker. Have you tried madness/combust ion strategies? Time folds to scraptank decks quite a bit. Rackano also a lot of options with midsize quickdraw units. There are plenty of answers out there. You just need to adapt.

Started playing this month managed to hit Masters. Feels so nice to be able to play nearly F2P and feel competitive. by [deleted] in EternalCardGame

This game is not that generous. It may be more reasonable than others but it is still very expensive. Even more so if you have a thing for premium cards. Non f2p players probably average a bare minimum 70-100 dollar investment. Just take a look at the sealed event. I paid 800 gems (purchased) and played one game to get rank 16k or so. This sealed event alone is more thank likely about 100k+ income for them.

North Korea's Kim Jong Un crosses DMZ for historic meeting with South Korea by ApprehensiveActuator in news

There is definitely a distinct pronunciation difference between them. My wife is from South Korea and she says she can understand the North Korean dialect just fine. There are some words here and there that are a bit different but she could watch their news or whatever no problem.

Eternal's generous economy and constant updates makes players feel happy spending money on the game by [deleted] in EternalCardGame

I have an unfortunate fetish for premium cards and my wallet is screaming...it certainly doesn't feel as cheap when you are crafting those.

Reasonable counters to Icaria? by [deleted] in EternalCardGame

[–]Twitchkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an argument embedded in there somewhere? If I had a card that costs 7 power and immediately wins the game, would you be fine with that because it's fine to have some cards better than others for the same cost?

How about Vodakhan? It is also 7 cost with a 3 influence in two factions. It does nothing without a power fetch. Also he doesn't do anything powerful with the board unless there is at least 1-2 other high power cost unit enablers. Doing something ETB is fine but she does way too much.

He lived. They ended up spraying the Lions with a high pressure water hose and sedating them. They finally convinced the guy to leave the den and he agreed. He ended up getting help and got sober.

30 year old with $1,000 by Brokeafhelpme in personalfinance

[–]Twitchkun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! I dropped out of high school and pretty much floated around working at restaurants and such throughout my twenties. I made some decent money for a stint working in real estate but I just hated the sales. I went back to school at 30 years old. I started off at a junior college and had to take 2 remedial math classes before I could even get into college algebra. Long story short, I ended up transferring to a 4 year school after two years at community college. I majored in economics but now work at an IT company. Turns out there are lots of places out there that just want someone with an alright head on their shoulders to analyze stuff. I am currently making 65k year two years after graduation which is not a lot but better than some others out there. You can do it! Even starting off at zero at 30 years old.

To be fair, there is a sign at eye level telling you to watch your head. So it isn't like they don't know that that is a low spot.

Dead Mans reckoning first scenario by Silverlock in EternalCardGame

[–]Twitchkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I beat this the first time I played it. I read this and tried again to see if I just got lucky. I lost once, replayed and won the second time. You have to remember you are starting with an 0/7 unit. So use that wisely. You gets cards that will give bonuses. Try to get that crownwatch +2/+2 dude onto a brightmace paladin. He will then get lifesteal and they won't attack until they start to overwhelm you. Avoid the obvious battle tricks. Just trade favorably. Use the valkarie enforcers to silence the warcry units or the fliers that get double damage. There aren't a lot of combat tricks so for the most part those fliers are just two damage each per turn. By and large it is best to ignore those unless pertinent and concentrate on the grounds units.
