Classwise probably a medic, unless someone else in my group is itching to be a main healer. Probably either spellslinger or esper otherwise. Apathetic about race. Not 100% which side I'm even going, though I expect I'll end up Dominion. Pathwise, I'm most tempted by scientist, but I'm not...

Oh, didn't even notice the second article:http://hextcg.com/keywords/ Mostly stuff we've seen before, but the new escalation card is fun, and as usual, its legendary equipment just makes it broken.

Obligatory article posting:http://hextcg.com/interview-with-a-supervillain/ Some more lore for another dungeon. James Bond style supervillain world destroying dwarf. Fairly amusing, but no meat other than the card spoilers. Argus looks like a pretty good game ender. Could theoretically...

Oh, nice catch. I expect the UI is off. They've said 2 pieces of equipment per card a couple of times. The fact that all of those are boot, chest, glove makes me think that maybe all those icons are meant to represent one "Take me to the equipment" button instead of actually representing...

Where have you seen 3 pieces of equipment per card in the interface? All of the spoiled cards have only had two attached to them, I'm pretty sure. The only time I can recall seeing 3 pieces of equipment for a card is in the example of 3 set pieces unlocking a set only card, and that's a...

New article up, and it's a good one:http://hextcg.com/the-krakens-lair/ I've got to say, this looks pretty bad ass. Details a dungeon in a little more depth, including mentioning some interesting branch triggers. Beat a particular mission without killing an obnoxious troop, get a benefit...

Of course. You're welcome to be pissed, by all means. I even mentioned in my original post that if I were just a pro player, I'd be a bit rankled myself. I don't think that there's much question that the *perceived* value of the pro-player tier dropped a little because of this change, if just...

If the pro player doesn't like it, the pro player can switch tiers, and really they *haven't* offered the exclusive pro player reward to the others. If this was offering the exclusive pro player reward, then so is the "3 free drafts" reward in one of the other stretch goals. This is just "52...

My only real problem with it is thematic in nature. I wish they would have done something more in tune with the original thrust of the different 250$ tiers than just give everything an across the board "fix" that so closely mimics the benefits of one of the other 250$ tier. I'm not surprised...

New card previews:http://hextcg.com/artsy-beginnings/No new meat in the article though. PvE details, please! As for the cards, judgement is an interesting late game board clearer with a caveat. Great if you have the biggest card out there, as it's now uncontested on the field. Much like...

Ugh. I had completely blocked that out, probably because I was only very casually playing at that point. Least inspired AA grind ever. Didn't help that most of it didn't even seem to stack with various pots/enchants.

One of the Cryptozoic devs popped in at the official forums and made a fairly useful post today. Not really new information, but confirmation about some things people have been saying secondhand about the devs intenthttp://forums.cryptozoic.com/showthr...l=1#post220228 Summary: 1) You can...

Exactly as many people as are swooping in to grab them. I'm sure some have shifted, but pro-player and grand king have still been sold out every time I've looked.

I was so excited when they mentioned getting souls from questing pre-release. Pictures of EQ epic weapon quests were dancing in my head. And then we got release and it was just a level 10 grind of "Pick up quest. Go kill a rift. Return to city. Repeat until all souls unlocked". That was so...

Yeah, I wish they would have gone another way to incentivize those tiers more (Like maybe giving us a deep dive on how PvE works in excruciating detail already, for the love of all that is holy). Show us that it takes a while to collect loot and the dungeon tier starts looking pretty good...

Update up!http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...e/posts/488512 Tablet support, more set 2 boosters for everyone, and adding a draft to the other 250$ tiers Playing a potentially screen intensive game like this on a tablet sounds like hell to me, and I don't even own one, so not so...

New article up:http://hextcg.com/adventure-awaits/ Talks a bit about one of the dungeons and spoils a couple of (not terribly interesting) AI only cards, so at least we know for sure that there are going to be AI exclusive cards in both raids and dungeons. Also, spoils one new card (The...

It seems pretty unlikely that anything else will sell out. King and below are unlimited. Nobody is really interested in the top three tiers for the cost, and the other 250$ tiers haven't been properly incentivized.

The update today said they'll unveil it tomorrow. They also said it would be pretty awesome, but ... enh. I'm trying to keep low expectations.

Looks like they ninja posted a new article in the middle of the night:http://hextcg.com/the-guild-experience/ Not very interesting, but the two spoiled cards are:http://hextcg.com/wp-content/uploads...s_Gear_Web.pngandhttp://hextcg.com/wp-content/uploads...t_Gear_Web.png I don't much like...

Yeah, it's definitely going to slow down once those are out. I'm hoping that we get a strong focus on PvE mechanics in some of the updates from here on out. That might push Dungeon Crawler and Raid Leader a bit. Dungeon Crawler is a straight up grind accelerator, and if the raids are actually...

Anyone here sad that they missed out on pro-player? I think I'm going to update my spare pro-player tier to grand king (might as well, 90 more boosters from guild master and now 50 set 2 boosters from the stretch goal is 280$ of value for 250$ of cost, plus the collector bonuses). Can't hand...

Well, hell. Now I need to go to Gencon. Anyway, new stretches are sort of shrug-worthy. The Keep Defense mode they already talked about in passing. It's potentially a nice feature, but it's not new and shiny if you've been scraping the kickstarter and forums for information. Hopefully...

Draegan and others answered this in a fair amount of depth, but I'll add something I didn't see mentioned in the other responses. While it takes a stupid amount of money to keep on top of your average TCG in an uber-completionist sense (you'd want 4 copies of every single card), it's perfectly...

Seems like all decks are preconstructeds, but they could mimic it easily enough by just giving you x booster packs to construct from. Would barely even require extra coding. Might not be in at launch, but I wouldn't be surprised if they added something similar down the line.

Makes sense, I suppose. I'm never in a mood for more rather than less luck though, so I didn't even factor in that some (possibly many/most) people view that as a positive. It's an almost entirely alien perspective for me.

I'm curious what makes you like sealed deck more than draft? Pretty much the only benefit from my perspective is that it gets you into the game faster than drafting. But drafting gives you a sense of the metagame as it stands at the table (the micro-metagame if you will), and seems generally...

I think you're getting bothered about nothing, honestly. Here's one of their comments from the kickstarter: Q:I would also like to know about the card rotation plan. Will there be standard and unlimited formats, or will all cards be legal to play forever? A:Right now we're planned for a 2...

New update athttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...e/posts/484901 No news on new stretch goals. Mostly clarification on what combining multiple tiers looks like (hint: it works the way you would expect), but he did tease a couple of things he wants to add in the future (not at launch)...

You can paypal on their website. Here:http://hextcg.com/donate/

Hope the dragon deck has plenty of mana accelerators. The most expensive card we've seen in the only two shard starter deck seems like resource issues waiting to happen. He's definitely a brutal card (especially with his equipment), just spendy. And yeah, the strategist makes everyone...

Yeah, I haven't seen any counters yet either. They have quick actions, so they have the potential, but maybe they want to avoid going that route. Blue seems more about sneaky tricks (booby traps, the stalking assassin card, etc) than about blatant "No. You can't do that. Nope. Can't do that...

Amen. Their excuse for not using it (that it was hard for new players to decide when to use a card as a resource instead of as itself) is pretty weak also. It seems like the Call of Cthulhu system would work well for this. It's essentially the same as WoW, but instead of everything being...

Yeah, I'm definitely in it for the PvE as well. I like what they did with the WoW TCG raid decks, so I'm confident that they'll be able to pull off some interesting effects in this as well.http://wowtcg.cryptozoic.com/article...king-destroyerhas some spoilers from one of the more recent raid...

They'll presumably have extended formats you can still use them in. And of course there's always PvE. Blocks make a lot of sense though. It's practically impossible to keep a CCG balanced in the long term with an ever increasing pool of cards to work from.

It's more greed than necropotence.http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/ca...tiverseid=1441But yeah, agree with everything you said. The stream has been kind of sad. Perfectly showcases why I hate the M:TG resource system. It's been fixed in any number of TCGs (including theirs). Sad to see them...

Just a reminder. Streaming starts in less than an hour (3 pm pacific).http://www.twitch.tv/hextcg Also, with the paypal donations, they've passed the 660k stretch. Today's update didn't have any new goals announced though, sadly.

Mercenaries are PvE only, I'm afraid. The PvP champion pool consists of 20 fixed champions in the base set. You have access to all of those from day 1 I believe.http://hextcg.com/game/champion/has some details As for new tournament types, I think they've definitely engineered in such a way...

Yeah, it should be interesting. Unclear entirely how it will work though. Can you use PvE cards? Can you use equipment? What's the prizes for winning/losing? Really depends on implementation. Hopefully there will be an upcoming video about it. Oh, just found the original post by the...

Tournament prize pools will have booster pack rewards, I'm sure. And of course you get to keep any cards you got from a drafting format on top of whatever the prize pool for the draft was. Other than that, not at the moment, though they might add other strange game play modes. There's...
