I actually really miss the stupid Trinket-madness playstyle monks had for the Thunder King's Palace, with its hilarious reforging plate-spinning insanity. If you're going to design around a class being trash dps half of the time and above average half of the time, give me 0%/200% over 75%/125%...

Wintermoon Control feels like it was made to tailor to everything I love in CCGs: Control, Card Draw, Recursion, Mitigating Resource-Flood, Stupidly Game-Changing Unique Characters.

EQ2 devs seemed absolutely terrified of the "emergent" game play in EQ1, and wanted to make sure the shackles were firmly in place from the outset of EQ2. And then like a week after release you had all the tanks spamming group buffs for uncontestable ultra-threat, and "DPS Berserkers"...

Having worked in CCG/LCG playtest/design at multiple companies, a lot of shit that seems obvious in hindsight is overlooked in testing. Often because of testing directives/conceits that push towards focusing on other things in order to meet your job requirements. And sometimes they're caught...

The reasoning behind the shared EXP debt in EQ2 made sense. It was dumb, and wouldn't work in the wild, but there was logic behind it. Force people to be better at the game by making them absolute pariahs if they suck. Didn't work that way in practice, just made shit miserable and everyone...

Wouldn't it have to actually launch to be on that list?

Adaptatron with Equipment pretty much solos her.

"State of the art" and "Elder Scrolls: Online" in the same sentence? This must be trolling.

I'm just selling my Eyes. $50-60 is a good markup from the $2-3 I got em at.

Wizards is racist. No colored creatures top 8.

Amusingly, like half the on-camera U/R Drazi wins have been with no Sol-lands in play. Just playing normal lands and draft chaff. And, the silliness isn't just Sol-land Eldrazi. Affinity winning on camera with a 0 land hand at 30+ life against Lepore's Eldrazi deck. And Instant Speed...

They don't want to support Loony Toons callous missrepresentation of mobsters.

Really Big Acidic Slime is manly.

ShadowsOverInnistrad - Album on Imgur SoI Leakerinos. WE'RE ALL BANNED NOW. As to the Eldrazi deck at the PT, wasn't that the same kind of stats they were running on the Thopter Deck? Which then collapsed once the meta accommodated for it after its breakout performance? 4x Chalice has...

Good thing we've got 54 weeks until the next Modern Banned/Rotation list Not having to worry about Twin makes it a lot less frightening to rock a 0 creature-removal maindeck. Greed must be rewarded! Some of those Eldrazi games on Camera looked a lot like Elves! when it actually fires...

Dunno, wasn't around earlier, just came back to facebook freak out threads in multiple groups with dead links.

Apparently an article about removing the Reserved List was up earlier, then taken down. Was likely just miss-flagged for "view-date," since today is sunday, not monday. BEGIN THE SPECULOCALYPSE.

True magic the gathering.

Elf Warrior is hilarious. With the various +Charge/-Cost talents you really consistently ramp into shit way too early. Kind of a bummer that most of the good aggro orcs are Clerics and Rangers, though. I made it past the Wormoids with all 60 Gnomes on my back as Coyotl Cleric by going...

Yep. On a logical level, I understand fully the design purpose behind them. That doesn't make it feel any less shitty. Unfortunately, for the most part, non-resource-progression CCGs from the first and second generations all pretty much croaked. Most of the games that managed to avoid the...

Note: As of their latest partnership, it's now against TOS to sell accounts, despite being kosher before that. So if someone buys your account, strips it, then chargebacks you, HEX won't help.

Now he just needs to create a pay-to-post forum on his website.

Well, it's either A) He didn't. Guy offed himself to stop LOUD NOISES mind-control-pain and/or "Oh fuck I'm hacking the main computer I'm so fucked forever" or B) He did make the guy kill himself in order to clean up (derp, janitor joke) loose ends. If the guy had been taken by security, he...

Reports from the previewers were ~10-14 hours of content. But it meets the requirement to "bring out PVE before we publish set 4" and lets them greenlight set 4 to get more moneis If they really want money, they'll let us buy extra character slots for platinum.

I mean, this is hardly the first time a new season completely and instantly convinced mulder of an entirely new conspiracy upending the old one. Like half the original run's seasons were that.

Should be interesting to see what shenanigans get played at the SCG Open today. Followed by the attendant knee-jerk price fluctuations

So how long until the hackers bring down Kickstarter's servers.

He should heavily consider making an Offline-Only Game.

I will give them 5 of Soygen's dollars if they can provide the name of the Texture Guy responsible for Freeport 2.0, and assert that he's not working there.

EQNext, Mobile Cash Shop Evony-style game, with resources named Voxels instead of stone/wood/gold.

Prereleases have been a ton of fun so far. This set is so much better than BFZ in basically every way a Magic set can be. RE: Goryo deck, hopefully the rise of Eldrazi Processor decks with 6-8 Maindeck 1-drop graveyard-hate cards will hem that in. That is, if the processor deck is even...

Massacre Bonus is a One-Time EXP Bonus at the end of a Kill-Streak, it is not available in Rifts. The EXP you earn ranges from an additional 40% to an additional 300% of the *base* EXP you got from those kills, with the % increasing the higher your kill count is (capping at 300% bonus exp at...

Amusing. Commentators yesterday remark on Jeff Boohoogland always having turn 1 Birds. "He's a very powerful wizard." Judges give him a game loss in the top 8 today, for marked sleeves.

The most cost efficient way to sell-out magic collections is to not do so. Because if you do so, you've triggered the Universe's "Force Him To Play Magic Again At Some Point And Greatly Regret The Sell-off" subroutine. Cards rotting in your basement produce a miasma that wards off this effect.

Everyone's said everything about this "game" by now, so if you see a bump it's probably rehashing something.

mtgprice.com Is a decent place to get info on individual cards, and, handily, it will point you towards the "Buylists" that are currently paying the most for cards. Buylisting (selling directly to a card sales website) gets you less money than ebaying, but is generally faster, easier, and safer...

When a 6/6 Flying for 4 exiles my Library, it gets my attention. Oath is looking a lot more interesting than BFZ.

More armor needs fabulous feather-mantles.

Developing SOEMote to make the first Massively Multiplayer Online Blowjob Simulator would have saved SOE.

Played the new Eclipse Expansion a few times. Hot hell is the Time-Travel Race imbalanced. And not like, a predictable, compensatable level of imbalanced, but a completely random "Sometimes you just curbstomp everything with a completely explosive opener abusing free resources. Other times...
