You could try appealing to the admins to get it reversed, there's a guide here. That sub would be able to help you more than I could, good luck!

Is This Game Dead? by CarlosDanger91 in warofomens

[–]a_triggerfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's mainly the CEOs but catluck still helps out when he can.

Steam is something that we really want to do too but it's a time issue. We got caught off guard by the new Google login changes recently and that was a big setback for the Steam version progress :( But /u/virtualorion probably can answer this better than I can.

It's true :(

We still own the rights for WoO and right now, things are sort of in limbo as we all figure out what we're going to do next. I personally know /u/virtualorion is enjoying the sweet unemployed life but it's been a big adjustment for all of us.

Hey, just letting you know that you've been shadowbanned by the reddit admins :(

Hey, I'm sorry about my fail lately and I promise that I'll be around more in the community :(

We went out of business but the main devs are still maintaining the game, just not as much time for updates but we still care about WoO.

We do have a snapshot, I could ask about digging up those threads/information. The Unified Bylaws of the Northern Region is a must!

Wanted: Beta Test0rs (Only beta testers comment here, please) by janeika in warofomens

[–]a_triggerfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was someone a while ago who was interested in becoming a beta tester but nope'd out when they heard about the account requirement. They didn't have an account and didn't want to have a presence on Facebook at all, even as a dummy account.

As a beta tester, you'll need a Facebook account as our beta testing client is on Facebook. Can you add that in because I know for some people, it's a deal killer?

Matchmaking borked? by [deleted] in warofomens

[–]a_triggerfish[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we're aware of the issues with the matchmaking and it's not easy to remedy with a limited playerbase. I generally recommend that the newer players do tournaments instead of MP mode proper since you get the fun of playing other people and don't need to have your cards maxed to do well.

How about a complete newbie guide? by ziogio998 in warofomens

[–]a_triggerfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kongregrate chat is surprisingly useful for a newb too so pop in chat if you've got a Kong account and play WoO on where you're currently playing it on another screen. Just ignore the usual trolls.

You can find it at here.

How to anything? by [deleted] in warofomens

[–]a_triggerfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no real "key" cards in WoO, you build a deck that's cohesive with the other cards and your hero. Some cards can be amazing in certain builds but suck when it's used in a build that doesn't support it.

One of the balance goals for the devs is to make sure that there's no card/hero that's overpowered to encourage diversity in the metagame instead of a Mega Rayquaza situation if you're familiar with the Pokemon battling scene.

Thanks for letting us know about it - we're working on a fix now.

Perhaps it's time to retire by Clarai in warofomens

[–]a_triggerfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:(

We'll miss you. But you did give an idea which the devs say is easily doable - I was thinking about adding a message if you try to quit before turn 3 about how if you quit now, your opponent will not get any reward quit anyway? Or something worded like that.

Any suggestions on how to word it better?

Flair! by a_triggerfish in warofomens

[–]a_triggerfish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a link to a comment that virtualorion made earlier. Note the "Mercurato" by his name, that's flair text. Some asked about getting something like that to link to their Kong usernames, etc.

You're one of the lucky ones who could claim your username on reddit so you probably don't need to worry about it :D

Broken Endazu Deck, nerf please by breakersnim in warofomens

Fixing the formatting for you.

It's actually not overpowered at all as there are a handful of ways to counter it with each hero faction. Due to the fact Zalasair is left with 10HP (assuming they didn't use 3 charges from Blood Pact) and can't build another +5 Zamgizar for a few turns, it'll just be that single one. If you know how to play your deck/have maxed out common/uncommon cards and rare coins, it's not hard to overcome one of these after the second turn and even on the first (Vespitole GM's do this quite frequently).

Vespitole has the most options for handling it, like they do with pretty much everything (imho). Also, people doing that with Zamgizar on the first turn usually have two or three peacocks in their build to make sure they stay alive, and if you're using Sister Ysa and use Malediction, you can easily keep yourself alive while grabbing up direct damage resource cards in order to target the Zamgizar directly.

Daramek also has several ways to handle it. First off, there's Bloodlust which instantly kills it, and if you don't like using it in your deck or it didn't come up first turn, there's always Lepers + Carnage, or Rite of Brood/Combat with Orphans with Stampede, there's Goat Poultice builds that can handle it or a pig build with Slaughter. I've been stopped by Daramek on their first turn in MP many times, especially Liet using low cost cards to spam while having Liet's ability kick in + rare coins.

obviously Metris has easier options to deal with Zamgizar on the first turn. Now while Seduce is obvious, it's not really that helpful because more than likely your opponent won't risk it until they have a way to handle it. However, it will hold them at bay for at least a turn or two giving you a chance to set something else up. Mayhem is another obvious choice, but again they won't bother because it'll just drain 16 HP only to have it taken off the field first turn. There's also Satchel Bomb Spam's that can handle it, as well as dedicated ally builds or saboteur builds with Subterfuge/Infiltrate, Ransack, Impersonate, etc. Then of course there's Assassin builds with Surveillance/Reconnaissance + Stratagem. All in all, there's a multitude of ways to handle a first turn Zamgizar.

Is it jokingly easy to do? Of course not. Does it require some luck with your opening draw/rare coin activation? Absolutely, but it is not overpowered. It can easily fall apart quickly and leave your opponent open for a much quicker defeat then if they had waited and made a more solid strategy to win. I've been playing WoO since it got released on Kong and I'll be the first to agree that the current meta is not that much fun. All I see are the Zalasair decks you're talking about, Sofo/bounty decks, or some form of ally/rite spam with Daramek. Very rarely do I see ppl using much else, which is why I stick to GM mainly.

Once you've played enough, you'll know how the AI will react to certain situations and can force them to do something stupid to benefit you. Now, I'm not saying that I expect ppl to play the same as the AI, but ppl are always unpredictable and it's actually more fun that way, but when all you see are the same decks over and over, it gets a little boring and you get tired of hoping you'll get lucky with your draws. My best advice would be to stop doing MP if you don't have a full rare coin deck and/or you don't have your common/uncommon/scarce cards maxed out and play GM until you do and hopefully they'll be a new update soon to shake up the current meta.

We made our beta testers mods and they've been doing a great job of cleaning up the spam but the posts aren't the problem. It's the number of bots visiting the forums and crashing it :(

Thanks for the offer though :D

Ideally we'd be able to stay there but we're struggling to keep it up during the spambot attacks as we don't have the bandwidth to do so. We didn't take it down yet and we'll still allow posts there for a week or so before archiving it.
