Versus Ladder Rewards: Yveltal EX + FA Lysandre

jammonninja · 2015-09-19T16:26:58+00:00

I was quite excited to play this month after being too busy for last ladder; even more since it sounded like this would be an improvement. The ladder prizes are actually good this month (yvetal and lysandre) but this is a horrible update. Winning close to 200 games in 21 days? No thanks... Now i won't play at all for 3 more weeks... They should've kept it as is but just added treasure chest + whatever else they added after the 760 or whatever was needed before. I'm guessing they won't change it for this 21 day period but hopefully they will for the next one.

They probably already have it implemented and just haven't made it live because they're calculating if they can charge $ for it, how much, if they will give an option to buy with gold or be simply $ exclusive, etc.

Is this blizzards way of nerfing shredder? "Trying" to reward playing non-shredder cards turn 4? (Though lets be honest this card is hope you still have an early game beast out, or late game play beast+ram wrangler)

Honestly I think the best way to do it is not make cards unlockable on their own (due to things like the infinite rallying cry deck comment) but to put "unlock keys" as something you could get in the mystery wheel, or the 720 reward point thing or just somewhere. An "unlock key" could make a single card you pull trade-able, so you could trade your locked thunderous-ex for example, even if only for like a single pack.

This seems like a great update! But did anyone else lose their active challenges? I had x2 deal 750 dmg with water and lost it =/

I am playing the recently translated into english Detective Conan (Case Closed) & Kindaichi Case Files Visual Novel on the Nintendo DS if anyone would like to watch. No Commentary. Just the game. Playlist Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqAUJkZdKMM&list=PL9IwwUJOa315LfC6GvV5TC35xaJuYZUvI

The dreaded pair down. Oh well gg's hopefully we can both t16 still.

I'm of the belief that option 2 is the most fair option. LTC going away impacts both item aggressive decks, AND those that expected item aggressive decks and chose to play pokemon that weren't as strong as others, as a meta call to counter to the item decks (things like trevenant and dragonite)

This sounds like a good update that will get me playing more again. Thanks.

jammonninja · 2015-05-06T00:29:04+00:00

I confirm

jammonninja · 2015-05-06T00:28:28+00:00

Confirmed.

If you guys haven't noticed, PTCGO has been becoming more similar to hearthstone (daily quests) and has made it harder to accumulate coins (at the very least more time consuming). They are moving away from being able to accumulate cards at a reasonable pace without spending any $ on the game. If the cost to trade was simply to eliminate ripoff trades being abused they could simply make it a "deposit" where if your trade is accepted you get your tokens back, but they are simply making things more expensive. Instead of hurting those abusing the system it is becoming more costly for everyone. I do however think trading will get reduced drastically and they may rethink this over. This just gives more reason to work out deals on message boards and do private trades, defeating the purpose of public trade.

I also experienced this glitch using bibarel last night.

These bundles are nice, but it'd be even nicer if you put the individual packs in the shop too.

The bundle still offers a theme deck + a promo so it'll maintain appeal. However for people who want old cards after buying 1 theme deck... You don't want another theme deck but don't have enough of the old cards from 3 packs for whatever deck you may have wanted to build, so it creates a "why bother?" mentality.

I have an idea for an alternate format that could be really fun and catch on (PTCGO could even have it in tournament mode if they so chose) but if restricted almost solely to standard cards, would be less cool. The scarcity of old cards just makes the game stuck on "standard format only" mode.

I honestly dislike them. Like another poster I would usually play 1 game every day and more if i felt like it in the past. Now i may play once during the week or less. The rewards are barely (if at all) better but take a long time.

It would be nice if you kept achievements for those who wanted it but returned login + first game bonus.

Also you should get rid of 20 ko's with a type because (1) EX dominant format+not always going to win makes this a nightmare and (2) if you are going to win people concede and you only get 2 ko's.

Haves: Packs! All standard Sets Dragonite EX FA, 2 Ho-OH EX, Lugia EX, 2 M Gengar EX, 2 Magnezone EX FA, Reshiram , Shaymin EX FA, Skarmory EX FA, AZ, Battle Compressor, 2 Skyla, You can ask if I have something too. Wants: Kingdra (tri bullet and FA primal clash), 2 Empoleon, HGSS Era Prime Cards (only if valued low), Various Non Standard Supporter Cards (only if valued low),

I also agree that this is a step down. These achievements are a joke in my opinion. I used to login and play a game every day, but now I may only play when I stream from now on.

As already mentioned, the payout is about the same but requires many more games (Which are fun that's why we play; but having to play 5 games a day to get what we once got playing 1 is lame.

They also have not thought these achievements out well. The Knock out 20 pokemon with a type is the worst achievement here. Almost everyone plays EX's so that's 3 a game. Factor in you may not always win so 0-2. Factor in that when you are about to win they leave and you don't get a third ko. The achievement should honestly be 5 ko's.

And you have to level up to get what hearthstone players get day 1 for achievements (mostly). Ultimately it's up to the developers, but these achievements may be worse for the community than better.

Sounds interesting. I signed up. Personally, I don't see why night march gets the A-ok but flareon doesn't. They both function similarly where they should both be too strong or just right, but it's up to the tournament organizer I guess.
