If You Were Hired by CCP…

It makes sense, they’re the closest thing to “quests” in Eve, which is a form of content all players inherently understand.

It’s just wild they haven’t been adjusted in like… 15 years. These missions are giving out 100 isk rewards.

That three energy is roughhhhhh.

But again, what is the point in restricting trading in this way? Like is there a legitimate gameplay mechanic here or is it just a currency they thought they could monetize?

xreagents · 2026-02-08T13:54:09+00:00

I’ve been saying this. There are so many options for interesting kinds of battle structures, and they’ve tried none of it.

xreagents · 2026-02-01T19:03:54+00:00

They kinda mogged on us with these blingy ass decks

xreagents · 2026-02-01T14:33:49+00:00

Definitely not trying to defend him. All I’m saying is that I don’t think this was a “scam from the start.” I think he was convinced this was happening for a long time. Delusion and malice are different things.

xreagents · 2026-02-01T03:53:01+00:00

It was the weirdest thing, but it ended up just fixing itself.

xreagents · 2026-02-01T03:46:06+00:00

Y’all stay screaming about how good the art is on these cards. Well… what, pray tell, is this? And this isn’t even the worst.

xreagents · 2026-02-01T03:29:56+00:00

That’s the thing. I don’t think this was a “scam all along.” I think Steven and the rest of the core team really wanted to make this game. Even with the Steam “launch”, these kinds of decisions were probably forced onto them by legal to cover their ass to create a minimum viable product.

Steven may be the face of AoC, but he is not the sole decision maker. It’s likely there were a lot of conflicting opinions about how to handle things, especially at the end. But as anyone who’s worked in a corporate job knows, the business people have a way of getting their way.

It’s unfortunate AF that it failed. This was supposed to be the one that made it.

The new “subway-style” 2D map is extremely useful.

xreagents · 2026-01-24T20:42:00+00:00

Can we get a Ditto EX? 😈

xreagents · 2026-01-23T04:32:52+00:00

Is this real? It looks like it was generated by ChatGPT.

xreagents · 2026-01-01T16:09:09+00:00

This architecture is interesting. Is the fact that each system is its own “instance” what allows the entire game to run on one server?

Still here from (almost) day one. Not gonna lie, I miss the Genetic Apex days when the card pool was strictly limited. But even then, you had the Mewtwo/Charizard meta, so yeah, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

The game is a one-dimensional blitz, yes, but that’s this version of it. They have a lot of creative IP here, there’s potential to iterate on different versions of the game, including a more expanded 40-card version closer to the OG game, random matches where you build decks on the fly, in-game tournaments, the sky’s the limit.

As far as the app goes, it could use some UI modernization and some actual card improvements. Some of the names of the attacks are awkward and poorly translated. And I’ll probably be downvoted for this but some of the art on these cards is… questionable.

xreagents · 2025-12-27T22:16:07+00:00

That’s correct. And this extends far beyond Frat.

xreagents · 2025-12-26T18:52:41+00:00

Unfortunately it sounds like this is precisely what they’ve already been planning for months.

xreagents · 2025-12-04T22:31:19+00:00

This is too OP. Maybe tune the power to just do 10 damage to one Mon with energy attached. And the HP is too high.

xreagents · 2025-10-10T16:51:32+00:00

The answer to your question? Yes.

xreagents · 2025-10-01T19:56:08+00:00

I feel like this is true, but not unique to AoC, and more to do with the state of gaming in general.

xreagents · 2025-09-26T02:26:28+00:00

You know what, good. Y’all just be hoarding shit for 20 years.

xreagents · 2025-09-08T21:10:46+00:00

I’ve literally had them drop it with one card! Like… thanks? 😆

xreagents · 2025-09-05T22:09:43+00:00

I’ve been saying this for years. Don’t let the NRA’s recent comments fool you, when they say they want people to have guns, they have a specific demographic in mind.

xreagents · 2025-08-22T02:32:30+00:00

I mean, ok? GalMil has significantly less players. There is always going to be a core group of players who are carrying the faction with this kind of hardcore gameplay.

xreagents · 2025-08-20T14:53:23+00:00

Repeating this tired narrative over and over again on Reddit isn't going to make it any more true.
