Draegan pretty much summarized it. There's reasons for PvE players to buy PvP cards, but unless they like PvP, there's no reason for them to play it (except the prize pool in tournaments will be useful for them). Similarly, unless you like the PvE game, there's no reason for PvP players to...

It's hard to say. TCGs are mostly about PvP because they come from a tabletop lineage, and until the somewhat recent rise in the popularity of cooperative tabletop board/card games, that's been almost entirely a PvP space (except for roleplaying games). There are other examples of online TCGs...

They're a bit lackluster, I agree. I love that we're getting new raids, but we don't really have any context on what raids are like at this point, or how many there are before we hit that goal, so it saps some excitement out. I couldn't care less about the playmats. That stuff already looks a...

They tossed out the next two stretch goals at 600k and 660k:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...e/posts/482859 Nothing really groundbreaking there. 3 new raids at launch at 600k and squire and up get 3 free booster drafts (so another 21$ in value). 660k gets 5 new gameboards with new...

New card previews just went up on the Hex facebook.https://www.facebook.com/HexTCG?ref=stream Guessing we'll probably get a kickstarter update to go with them pretty soon.

Jealous. I signed up for that a while back, being a gigantic Jonathan Chey/System Shock 2 fan, but the beta fairies seem to hate me on this one. Actually had an old guild member pop on IRC saying he had gotten a beta invite and had no idea what it was. I almost wept.

It should have been in every single MMO since CoH, which I think is the first game that had it. Why this has yet to be industry standard is a mystery to me. It's not exactly rocket science to implement either (Though it's not as trivial as it appears on the surface either. Equipment scaling...

Oooh. I've had a key for this sitting in my email since 2010. Now to figure out whether I bought into whatever tier allows me access to alpha/beta... well, once I get home at least.

I'm hoping that some of the other kickstarted online TCGs help fill the void for me. Infinity Wars should be full beta within the month I think. Solforge is already available in a very crude beta form. And Card Hunter is still steadily sending out beta invites. Hopefully those on top of...

Glad to see they're going to have mentoring. Rallying is a decent feature also. Wonder if there's really much of a point in rallying down to do a dungeon if they're going to have heroic modes also. I guess if rallying recalibrates your gear, they can serve the same role as challenge modes in...

Confirming what Pyros said earlier. They have mentioned that they'll have a PvP format that allows access to your equipment, but that it's not going to be considered "official" and wins/losses in that format aren't going to automatically count towards world championships, etc. That seems like...

I'm going to guess they go for the Magic mythic model. I haven't played seriously since before they introduced that rarity tier, but I think it's 1 in every 8 packs has a mythic? If that's the case then all of the big tier rewards should end up with around 20ish of them on average. That's...

Oh, looks like the update just went out. There's more to it than was obvious from the front page update: At 540K, we're going to introduce a subscription feature to HEX. Remember, HEX is free to play, but you'll have the option for $4 a month to get 1 booster pack a week free, access to a...

Yeah, the subscription model is good in general. I don't really understand it as it currently stands though. 4 boosters per month is a pretty small amount. Just slightly more than enough for their draft format. Anyone playing seriously is going to want to spend more than that to supplement...

Looks like they ninja-edited their stretch goals on the main page. Probably an update incoming. Anyway, looks like they dropped the primal pack stretch goal from 540k to 490k. They added a new 540k stretch goal, which is a subscription model. Everyone at Champion (the 85$ tier) or above...

They *can*, but they shouldn't. It would increase the time required to generate art assets incredibly. A 3d animated figure is way more difficult to create than a flat 2d image. And that's just to have the 3d models pose in some generic way and not interact with the opponent. If you actually...

Interesting new games seem to have a habit of bringing lurkers out of the wings. Wonder when the next round of stretch goals is going up. At this rate, we're going to be through all the current ones early on Thursday. Also, on the topic of RMT, there was some random third party...

Depends on whether you're more interested in PvE or PvP. The kickstarter only PvE rewards are potentially pretty nice accelerators and not attainable anywhere else (More loot from every dungeon, letting you get PvE cards/equipment faster. Slightly faster xp gain from the guildmaster perk...
