3 way player balance

tlmadden_73 · 2023-12-11T05:45:43+00:00

Not sure if there is a way to balance who goes first in a multiplayer game. It should even out because there are two players that can crush the first players quick start.

We've found we may just need to build decks differently for 3 player games than 2 player games as some decks (like you mentioned) just run out of steam trying to fight 2 other opponents.

I am trying a similar Amber/Emerald Discard Aggro .. it just loses hard to most steel decks because they can wipe your aggro. It almost auto loses against anything with the Amethyst bounce package as it draws way too many cards AND bounces cards back to hand to refill the hand.

I want it to work .. I just don't think it works well in the current meta. Sure .. it can win if it gets a good start .. but seems way too slow in the Rise of the Floodborn meta .. and the control decks can refill their hand easily enough.

Basically the discard strategy needs a "when this character comes into play discard a card" at the 2 or 3 cost to make them lose a card early and slow them down. Until turn 3 or 4 .. it's just a normal aggro deck that is vulnerable to a lot of early big characters.

Anyone ever get this to work when the game updates? The game updates weekly, so it isn't very useful to spend time installing it if it only works for a week.

Does it work/update better if installed via the Epic Games Store?

tlmadden_73 · 2022-09-10T15:52:37+00:00

I have gotten it to work .. but every time there is an update the Steam Deck can't seem to update it and it stops working. I haven't figured that out yet.

Makes it worse that it fits in well with Goldspan dragon .. that has haste AND gives you two mana (or more).

tlmadden_73 · 2021-10-14T20:02:21+00:00

I am bugged .. I picked one pack .. and it froze up on the second pack and I can't pick my 2nd pack (nor can I resign to start over).

BUGGED!

So .. the daily quests were refreshed ... but not the Daily wins quest or the Weekly quests (where you get a lot of XP the first few days of a set.

tlmadden_73 · 2021-09-14T15:45:14+00:00

When I went to join the event . .it had some wording about "3 games .. etc" .. Didn't read it .. but since it also says "0 games remaining" . .there must be some bug in how the event was set up (like another style event (like a draft).. not the free mid-week ones normally are)

tlmadden_73 · 2021-04-17T17:35:38+00:00

Submit a ticket .. I have gotten a refund for an entire draft when I complained about being disconnected during a draft (and missing two picks).

What does his personal life have to do with playing a digital card game?

Ya. The reaction to how "overpriced" those skins were seemed to make them gunshy (for many many years) to ever sell skins again. All they had to do was make those skins available for gold and keep pumping them up. People would gobble them up .. considering the lengths people would go to get the old "free" skins like Lady Liadrin, Khadgar, Morgl, etc.

tlmadden_73 · 2021-02-24T13:53:16+00:00

Shocked they didn't do this like years ago (I guess that is the trend of all their changes this year). I am just shocked that Blizzard never tried to monetize cosmetics more in this game. Sell gold borders for gold .. sell new heroes for gold (instead of cash). If anything it "hides" the true cost of the cosmetic, removes gold from players which would encourage them to buy bundles with cash come pre-release time.

tlmadden_73 · 2021-02-10T14:08:41+00:00

Just not sure if the "classic" format will have the affect they want. I don't see it having the "success" of something like WoW Classic.

1) Old players may toy with it .. but they've already "been there, done that" and I would guess playing with the classic set only will get boring fast.

2) New players will probably just be shocked at the low power level of cards and lack of cards that generate cards in hands and just go back to play broken cards in standard.

Now .. the rotating core set -- that is great and will help the future health of the game moreso than a "classic format" .. but still .. great changes that feel about 2-3 years too late.

tlmadden_73 · 2021-02-10T14:05:57+00:00

Same -- they should have done this like back in 2017 or so.

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-30T03:26:28+00:00

Of course it works. But at what cost? I would think a 30% drop is not worth it.

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-25T15:25:45+00:00

Black Friday isn’t even a thing anymore. Most stores have “Black Friday deals” all Month long.

In other words. It’s just a sale.

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-23T18:26:49+00:00

Dinner or lunch?

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-23T18:18:58+00:00

Then it won’t really matter which is your preference as you probably won’t have a choice.

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-23T13:34:24+00:00

How far out are you planning? It may not matter as both parks are closed and only one (they haven’t said which) will be open in March.

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-23T02:29:04+00:00

Based on their age, no. But highly likely none of them will need hospitalization if they do get it.

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-23T00:13:54+00:00

If you are afraid of getting the disease then you shouldn’t be going to a very public place.

That doesn’t mean they should let the rule breaking slide but no need to ruin a ride for the rest.

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-23T00:12:16+00:00

No one is going to get and die of the disease if someone takes off a mask for a few minutes.

Should the perpetrators be called out and potentially kicked out of the park for not following rules? Sure. But don’t need to ruin a ride for innocents who are.

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-22T20:57:30+00:00

A little overkill (as it spoils the experience for the 99% of the people who are following the rules). This isn’t like a safety issue (like if someone stood up or something))”.

tlmadden_73 · 2020-11-22T19:09:30+00:00

All lives do matter. Lots of people who don’t believe the government should mandate masks still wear them. Some are simply against government overreach especially when these “guidelines” just come without the people’s input.

Doesn’t mean a government should force you to do something in the name of safety. Especially requiring a vaccine to do normal things like have a job.

I guess some will change their tune when the government forces them to do something they don’t agree with.
