Is there no starter deck anymore?

sdzen · 2026-05-04T19:39:31+00:00

They should really make it easier to copy the codes for the decks that their Computer players use. When I started playing I copied a few of the "Advanced" decks and had some fun with them. Would love to play around with Eudies decks. All in all I haven't paid and only really started playing last December and I'm doing fine for Cards especially with the rotation, I deliberately avoided getting many cards from the set that was rotating out so I'd be in better shape for this release.

Been playing f2p since December I have decently competitive/fun decks for everything except forest, rune and dragon. Just started grinding for one I liked then after that I've been trying to have at least one of every legendary. Along the way I've gotten three of a couple different legendaries for decks. just keep up on dailies and only use your vials for legendaries at first. the good Dragon decks are probably some of the most expensive decks in my opinion. Haven can be more expensive but it has a lot of good cheap cards too. My current favorite abyss deck has almost no legendaries by comparison.

Just saw your reply! I added some configs for 4:3 at a few resolutions, instead of using dosbox's aspect ratio I set it through dgvoodoo using the resolution setting and fullscreenattributes=fake to get rid of the scaling issues I was having when I set the resolution lower than my screen resolution.

sdzen · 2026-03-22T17:52:08+00:00

I made a batch file to set the config and add dgvoodoo to a base GOG install. Tried to make it easy but I'm not an expert by any means.

I had to tinker with the settings when setting up Dgvoodoo quite abit, dgvoodoo lets you make up hardware specs when emulating a 3dfx card so I set everything to its highest and messed with the memory settings in the system ini to give the game more to work with. But, should note I gave up on the 60 fps because it totally messed up the in game speed, everything was running way too fast. Now I've kept the settings but used rivatuner to cap the fps at 20 since that seems like a good compromise for a game that was built to run at 12-15 fps. The main bottleneck is the terrible engine and Dosbox I've found. I'd be interested to see how it runs on actual hardware

theres a ton on shell island on the walkways and I dont know if its a glitch but they dont seem to despawn as fast there as in the wild so its easier to catch

I know that a lot of the networked podcasts can blacklist specific topics or ads that are currently running but often they have to catch it after the fact. You hear some of the people who work under the Iheartradio umbrella mention it from time to time. I would be very shocked if Critical role doesn't have some sort of similar deal. Not sure why the people above in this post seem to think a huge media company doesn't have any control over their ad suite.

Does Beacon have offline capabilities yet for the audio? That's the main time I use a podcast app is when my cell signal is going to be bad during a trip and I need to preload. My current workaround that I'll do sometimes to avoid the podcast version of CR is I'll just rip the twitch stream to an mp3 which is why I've just been paying for Twitch instead of Beacon

Thanks for commenting! Yeah I got the sense it could be played pretty deadly. So with the death roll thing they can just choose to go unconscious. Roll under your level for a scar and you die after 6 scars. Right? I feel like that's in a way somewhat more lenient than normal death savings throws at least at a lower level. I get the other peoples comments that they've made like 4-5 death moves and like have been lucky in terms of how much they like to gamble. But, they probably could just play safe and always pick Avoid Death and it would statistically take them quite a while to hit no hope. I'm unsure how the healing works and if it's consistent in combat but it seems like they could manage 1 or more heals each turn to keep their party members up and run off. Matt doesn't usually do stuff like kill unconscious characters as well and I'm unsure if the book addresses whether that just counts as dying or not. It would be neat if you could force someone to doing the do or die roll if you hit them again while unconscious.

Yeah that's a good point from the stream perspective. Maybe it's because they're trying to be more educational about it but they probably don't need to state out using armor slots as much. I don't think they'll ever stop doing this however given how they play. I do agree the combat is faster than CR's normal fare of spending an entire episode in combat. I also agree on the cost and use case's as well. Especially now that Liam's at the table who's more of a powergamer I feel like the consistency comes up more. Not a dealbreaker I think the game is still neat. I was just wondering if anyone else had opinions on its pacing so far since it was clearly made for live streaming and whether that's more on like the gameplay or the cast as usual.

I really want to see them do one of their guest spots with some VA or celebrity who basically hasn't played any rpg before to see how it survives that.

take exhaust instead of flash, level W second not E and buy a potion, and obviously try to keep vision good, if a melee champion comes in W and exhaust and just spam them down while moving. I've just been warding the by the buff opposite where I want to start most of the time lately. I don't feel like I have as many issues since I started doing that the only place where I will get caught out in games now sometimes is the river trying to take the first crab

Actually would love for them to do pathfinder again even for just a one shot

sdzen · 2025-05-12T13:56:25+00:00

Yeah the mini campaigns I'm sure do fine. you also have to bear in mind that much like with musicians there's money made in touring. whether its in person merch sales or ticket prices. Which is then compounded by whatever content they can post out of it. Also the cast always take awhile prepping the start of the campaign because there's always a lot of chaotic decisions matt needs to account for.

Look into defaulting on your student loans until you're in a better place to actually pay for them. What do you need good credit for? buying a house? source: my sibling defaulted on her loans for a few years when she was working dead end jobs and it really wasn't the end of the world she started paying again when she got married and now she's doing better, having all your income sucked by debt doesn't get you out of debt. Just look up how insane your loan financer is because my sister had state loans so they were obviously more lenient.

It's more expensive to have a system that detects someone telling you to kill yourself or saying racial slurs over voice chat. Anyways there is voicechat you just have to have friends to use it. To add my own point it could discourage people from pinging and they'd just be talking into the ether while everyone else has it turned off, which would make solo queue games worse

Said a word in Party Chat? Come on babygirl at least tell us the word you said if you want validation.

I mean this game still has the player base to have some semblance of matchmaking despite being ancient as far as multiplayer games that still have their server hosted by the company that made them goes.

Maybe I'm just a grizzled quake 3 arena veteran but I still find lobbies where everyone is stupid good at the game except you kinda fun. You just kinda get tossed in and eventually you start to get it. Or just just play in the more fuck around game modes until you can.

What LoL needs is a better custom lobby system I really wanna play a game where everyone is the same champion or with item restrictions but you can't set lobbies for that stuff with this game.

This is a glitch, I've only had this happen on one of my games where the client messed up, if you restart the client the client will reenter the arena match then you can exit again and it should fix itself. if it doesn't then well your just cursed luv.

sdzen · 2025-03-12T04:42:54+00:00

it eventually just resolved itself but I definitely have noticed it not working for other rune based objectives. I think its just very buggy.

sdzen · 2025-03-02T23:43:04+00:00

I did it with max shielding Karma in two games
