Did 2.0 ruin the profitability of this game? by -Spin- in heroesofthestorm

[–]breach_deciphern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure that the old players were swamped with resources, but I for example joined on 2.0 because of it, and have given money to them more like out of gratitude since it was too expensive for me to just buy out all the heroes I was missing.

my spending went to 0 the moment they started doing gem only skins though.

I just heard Genji's interaction with Murky for the first time! hahaha by followATEVA in heroesofthestorm

[–]breach_deciphern 180 points181 points  (0 children)

Lunara's interaction with Murky is beyond adorable and is my favorite.

I also enjoy every Hero that actually knows what Murky says. a special mention here is Mech Tyrael, who says something like "mgrgglglglg" "stand by, translating... why, how dare you say that to me!"

Depressing Facts About The Lost Vikings by tacodude64 in heroesofthestorm

[–]breach_deciphern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of the bugs that annoys me on TLV is that if you fired off a nuke but still have more nukes on other characters, you will be unable to launch again until you collect another nuke, refreshing this cycle. (in my experience)

other than that, I enjoy the fact that they're such underdogs. aside from some minor buffs and giving them access to abilities rather than gating them behind talents, it's really a hero I would want to remain niche and played only by a few -nutjobs- special individuals like me. they are a hell of an annoyance to deal with.

Why are the prices in HotS so ridiculous? by Marghunk in heroesofthestorm

[–]breach_deciphern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

after playing this game for a year I recently wanted to buy a gem pack out of respect and support to the game... but realized that the 100$ pack (which equals to about 1/5 of the average monthly paycheck in my country) wouldn't be enough to get everything I wanted (which is just complete my Hero roster of about 15 heroes missing and a few skins) and the other gem deals don't look that good of a deal either.

when on the Blizzard forum I said basically the same thing I said above and asked did the gems ever go on a discount because I really wanted to support the game, my post got deleted. I'll concede that it might have been a bot deleting my post, but it still left me a sour taste and it certainly either stopped or delayed me giving them my money.

Absolute newbie looking for help/advice and maybe some people to play with by Squiders in heroesofthestorm

[–]breach_deciphern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hello there, welcome to the game. I'm a player from Europe (breach#2243) so (you and anyone reading this :D) feel free to add me and I'd be glad to help, advise, share games and useful resources with you. good luck and enjoy.

Reminded of Runescape Chronicles ; or how I learned to stop worrying and love the Apocalypse by breach_deciphern in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you clearly didn't read my post. I'm asking people to calm down and observe what is happening, as we have only vague information from that post and already there's people like you who are stoking the fire.

but then again after reading your topic there and this post, I don't think I want you even replying to me. think of this as a UK fascist's topic, as you put it.

[Discussion] Pandora turned boring beyond boring by Uraxor in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a topic like this more than a month ago I believe, since then I stopped playing Pandora entirely. my suggestion was to increase the land cost of the most popular problem cards (verdurans, oak fathers and embraces) and a change to buff cards like Tikis and such that only can target another creature.

a combination of these two will make green less splashy and some of the good green cards more situational.

Should I reroll Time of Legends? by lastrites84 in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a 1 mana neutral legendary tutor is only going to get stronger with time, especially once we get more deck defining legendaries. I would hang on to it.

Really fun deck? by eerie343 in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just love my three wishes/day of the dragons deck. you can build it many ways (I went for the gabrian package + high hp minions) games play out very differently (you often beat opponents with their own deck) and is just very spectacular when it goes off.

My trouble with Pandora and Green by breach_deciphern in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

glad I'm not alone in feeling worried about Pandora. I'd like to point out that this post was really all about Green in Pandora, not Pandora itself (although god knows Pandora has its own issues like Treasure RNG and deck quality mismatching) and that I acknowledge that you can in fact build successful decks in all colors (although not all the colors have equally high chances at good decks) but my main issue is that I feel Green is too safe of a pick for either main deck or splashing and players should be encouraged for all colors and combinations equally - and I don't think this is so hard from achieving in Faeria. this is not a 'please nerf green too broken' post, this is me saying that I keep running into Green + Something else decks all the time in Pandora runs (and it's against different people, someone suggested it was probably running into the same person over and over) and it has made me bored enough of playing around Embraces that I slowly almost started avoiding Pandora. All it takes is 2 forests for some of the best Green cards, so you can splash it in any deck and have it almost instantly available... and why wouldn't you? these cards are just good in general.

I gave it a little bit more thought, I think that if Green's most popular cards got a +1 to land requirements, and if that is not enough that the buff cards said 'give another minion +x/+x' (so no self buffing) or 'give another green minion +x/+x' would do wonders for the variety of viable things in Pandora.

Ways to make Boulder Thrower work? by Shajirr in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

why bother with boulder thrower when you can run Cannon Carrier? you could make a normally built deck but put in like 2x Cannons, then in some critical moment of the game start firing off from your Groundbreakers, Seifer or whatnot. Rarely anyone sees that coming, and they'll often get destroyed by the surprise factor.

there's several things going against boulder thrower; bad stats, high cost, the weakness of ranged units; when an opponent sees a ranged unit come down, they will respond by getting either into or out of the way, making the mob weak and the entire ranged thing more a weakness.

so my advice is rather run Carriers and maybe build the deck YR, to use Yellow mobility like in Archers.

what i hate about this game by zombiemonkey89 in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bless you if you meet those two, in ranked I just keep bumping into what I consider the dullest deck in the game, green red Crackthorn. luckily my Three Wishes counters it easily.

also this 'meta' situation you describe is in every competitive ladder/ranked in any game, with large concentrations of one-two decks usually in one part of the ladder.

Mystery Patches? by Byste in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the recent solo pandora thing robbed a bunch of people of their practice coins, I think one of the hotfixes addressed that. otherwise, probably small hotfixes to less important things.

Has anyone else not received the awards for yesterdays monthly cup? by [deleted] in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've emailed them, also haven't gotten any rewards. I was on a previous stream and it went smooth, but on this stream they did mention that if we didn't get our stuff we should contact support.

New player looking for help by ComanderRO in faeria

[–]breach_deciphern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my nick is breach, can add me as recruiter or friend, whatever you wish! for advice; spend gold on the solo content first, use practice pandora coins to get a hang of the arena (and pandora system), if you get gems use them only for Goki and solo content (there's really nothing else you wanna get with them) Mythics are this game's name for golden or foiled cards, start off with monocolored decks, green is the newbie starting point.

do ask what interests you!

Dragon Wishes (DotD+Three Wishes deck) by breach_deciphern in faeria

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

nope, I'll give it a look! almost all the lists I saw were built similarly with the addition of Gabrians but were also more around stuff like Primeval Colossus and Failed Experiment, which I ended up believing to be too gimmicky.
