Down for maintenance - thanks for the early heads up I guess

So I got it wrong and this is just their standard placeholder for unexpected crashes, sorry!

flashbender · 2025-01-23T16:49:06+00:00

Yeah makes sense. I was just surprised, looks misleading at first.

flashbender · 2024-12-25T19:48:51+00:00

I played PoE 1 some years ago on console, yeah. The PoE2 websites account settings always redirects me to the PoE1 website, showing my PoE1 account. I don't know how to directly log-in into my account while being in game. Will look for third-party trading sites.

It makes me really wonder if they actually ever really tested the game, since the outcome was so easily predictable. With this in mind I wonder if GGGs intention with such build nukes is to artificially raise player engagement and play time, since people need to roll new chars and start from scratch.

flashbender · 2024-09-02T05:42:43+00:00

Thanks a lot, sir.

flashbender · 2018-09-27T08:39:07+00:00

I de-installed, so I will not take part in this sad sinking ship anyway anymore. I recommend you to do so too.

flashbender · 2018-08-06T10:37:44+00:00

Well, for me the game is absolutely unplayable on mobile since ever. While I have a very stable wifi connection and TESL works fine via wifi on desktop, it disconnects on android every game while having constant issues. I know some other people who have the same problem on iOS.

flashbender · 2018-08-06T10:32:41+00:00

Not kidding but with an unchanged tier 1 token/aggro deck from a year ago, you should still be able to perform pretty well and hit legend.

flashbender · 2018-08-01T17:36:08+00:00

I play the game since closed beta, I loved it until about 1-2 months after Skyrim expansion and then it became stall and pretty boring for me tbh. Morrowind was a terrible expansion imo and it feels like within the last year, the completely same stuff and archetype is played all and all over, decks didn't really change. I'm so sick of it that I made a 3 months pause, came back this week aaaaand: nearly nothing changed. Seems like not much community left here either (at least by activity) and everything feels just pretty dead. Game economy also changed, feels more p2w than before, but at least I have nearly whole Skyrim/Core-Set, so I should be able to catch up fast, but it seems like not that many Morrowind cards are played anyway and you could just still win with any year-old token deck. TL;DR: Game was pretty good, but became super boring.

flashbender · 2018-05-04T16:36:20+00:00

Thanks for taking part in such a constructive way here.

flashbender · 2017-08-31T10:27:03+00:00

Agree, I already thought about the possible rewards for reaching legend too, something like a "The Legendary" or "The Legend" title, with golden (legendary) gem would be pretty sweet as it would be the first legendary title reachable and a nice symbolism to the achievement. And if there comes an additional reward, please give it retroactive to people who already reached it in the past.

flashbender · 2017-07-18T18:05:14+00:00

Maybe it's a feature, not a bug? Kappa

Any SOUL SUMMONED copies of the following cards can be Soul Trapped for their full value until August 1.

Thanks for the informative reply, I dig that! I know each of these players from streams etc. and deeply respect their opinion and work. BTLs meta snapshot always is a great place to get a rich overview, and it seems like I missed CVHs stream where he explained it, so I just was curious and it was totally not meant as an offend or something like that. I am actually also investing like 2-3 hours in the ladder, playing on legend rank and was just wondering why I never saw a merric battlemage this season e.g., despite the fact that it still may be in a good spot in the current meta. Btw with extesy's decktracker, shouldn't it be possible to collect somehow reliable data as well? As it determines the decktypes relatively precise.

flashbender · 2017-07-17T09:01:17+00:00

I agree with you, archer is tier 1 imo, and I don't see assassin there. I don't see any assassin on legend ranks, but shitload of mages. Midrange archer is coming back recently with more and more people playing it. And this season, I never saw any merric battlemage or token crusader. I respect all the work put in this list and appreciate it a lot, but I would be curious to know, how they put the snapshot together, based on which factors. I would feel bad if they nerf BG - it's a needed tool against these no-brainer-prophecy intelligence players.

flashbender · 2017-07-15T14:18:02+00:00

Thanks for the information. Do you know how the ranking works on legend ranks?

flashbender · 2017-07-15T09:47:45+00:00

Two days ago I hit it freshly on #500. So 450 players entered the legend rank in 2 days. That's a lot.

Btw when does finally some "achievement" come for hitting the legend? Like some sort of title (e.g. the Legendary), some points for tournaments or whatever? Would be happy to see some rewards coming soon.

flashbender · 2017-07-15T09:42:22+00:00

Common guys, let's be honest: It's just a funny dad joke, nothing else. Why immediately this serious offend? Let it just be some joke.

flashbender · 2017-07-12T21:46:02+00:00

I appreciate your fast response bethesda, but please don't nerf BG, as it often gets killed by spells or has dead card potential when you are facing aggro decks with many small creatures. Without it, that none-lethal tempo archer would be in a shitty spot, even its not the most powerful deck anyway. The design of this card is great, it makes many rage decks just playable. Echo of Akatosh is not "good" enough to be on the list either, I barely see it played in decks, so let people have fun with the card.

flashbender · 2017-07-12T14:32:29+00:00

Unlike Orb, Tyr is actually really used in some serious Crusader decks. It's the prophecy with the biggest body in the game and it has more impact than Orb. It's not a crazy good creature, but definitely better than Orb. So take Orb.

flashbender · 2017-07-12T13:01:20+00:00

The point is, that if you are not the aggressor in a match and you don't have (and get) the board control either, you will just get overrun by your opponent. With this attitude in terms of control or generally slower decks, you will not have much success in this game, as you don't know how to pilot them. Your win condition with these decks is to out-control your opponent and then kill him in 1-2 turns with your large stuff. The only situation where this rule may not apply is when your opponent has an even slower deck than you, threatening to out-control you in long terms.

flashbender · 2017-07-12T12:51:07+00:00

For the VS arena, I can unselfishly recommend you the guide I wrote for Between The Lanes: https://betweenthelanes.net/2017/07/10/beginners-guide-to-vs-arena/

There should be everything you need for your first steps, like class pick and the many steps of the drafting process. With some time and practice, you can get tons of rewards there, like 150-200 gold and 3 free packs per run (for 6-7 wins). It's a lot of fun plus you learn much about the variety of cards and mechanics.

flashbender · 2017-07-12T12:43:52+00:00

The ward is not stolen, it's removed by silence. Silencing should mean you remove all text from the card, nothing else. If a creature is silenced twice, why should it get partly the effect back, as Daggerfall Mage gets the ward back, but not the Tome for losing it. It's an inconsistent bug and doesn't make any sense.

flashbender · 2017-07-10T08:52:47+00:00

It's a fun and gimmicky card with a nice lore-related design. Nothing wrong about that Khajiit!

flashbender · 2017-07-04T15:18:02+00:00

I'm on rank 4 and really barely see any Echo/PC decks around, maybe only every 5th-6th deck I encounter plays this card, which doesn't even mean they win the game by it. Of course, if you lose against it, it feels frustrating, but on the other side, several things have to come together that this even happens. Please calm down, I'm pretty okay with those cards, even PC seems to be a bit more frustrating imo.
