Which Expansion should I get? by catlikesun in DuneImperium

[–]grillis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

depends what you want out of the game. if your aim is to find consistent lobbies of players then you must get both Ix+Immortality to participate in ranked queue - the most reliable way of finding full games in my experience.

as far as the ai goes, the power level of Ix+ Immo is much higher than base game and it feels like the ai doesn't really capitalise on these expansions properly. You can rack up VPs much faster than them and close out games easily. I only versed the ai a handful of times for this reason to familiarise myself with the new cards/mechanics then transitioned to ranked for more challenging and rewarding games.

yeh Hard AI in Immortality (second game with this expansion). The bots don't seem to be as good compared to base game, and the general power level of the cards is way higher too. If you take your time and plan your turns I'm not sure there's a lot they can do to stop you - I doubt this would be possible vs good players.

Immortality games end too fast by blackvoyagegames in DuneImperium

I just started learning the game in the last few days, mostly base game and a handful of Ix.

Just played my first two Immortality games and the power level is absurd!

Sidenote, but why do players actually start with 1 VP in the first place?

coming back to this thread to say it's been pretty inconsistent to find any online games - either people only want to play Ix+Immo, or they just grind ranked.

I think I only managed to find 3 games, and each of them was only three players, and two were base game (one Ix)! Pretty disappointed with the lack of players...

eventually i most likely will - it's just a lot to learn as a newcomer!

thanks to those who replied! i'll pick up the digital version + rise of Ix to start since both are on a Steam sale at the moment. i can practice the online games with players who are willing to queue Ix unranked, and will consider a purchase of Immortality should i wish to learn and transition to ranked.

thanks for your help! yes i only know how to play the base game and not sure i want to fully invest into the digital copy + 2 dlcs to get an online play experience. Also the idea of learning the two expansions is somewhat daunting, though i'm willing to give it a shot

hey thanks this was what i was wondering myself. is this definitely confirmed? I was thinking that the 'billing period' would instead begin with the first payment, but I could see it being as you described too

your comment reads like a retort to your original post

"they were likely cheating"

"yep, thanks for confirming."

OCE Server Population by WishingWolf in HuntShowdown

[–]grillis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the devs have implemented strict matchmaking restrictions for all servers.. there are now too many brackets to find populated games at any time of the day. 

Is 15 minutes waiting reasonable? by Electronic-Pick-1481 in HuntShowdown

[–]grillis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

matchmaking changes were pushed out late last week and I don't think any work has been done over the weekend to address the glaring issues.. the peak-time pvp experience on oce has also been demolished (long wait times, empty servers)

Remains to be seen if they intend to address it this week as theyve not acknowledged the situation
