What do you prefer?

[Van Cleef]

I've been in the t50 for awhile, and I put up some farms every now and then.  I was just wondering if you guys REALLY enjoy fighting these farms, or if they're just kinda something you have to live with because some other people want some easy rares.

I've played against the t50 a few times, and it is sometimes interesting to see what they've got there, other times it feels like I could get more variety out of the level 3's.  But the farms in t50 are usually really, really boring to fight.  Tell me what you think.

I have to admit, I prefer farms (biting) to real decks. 

If I'm in the mood for a real opponent, I'll play one of the other AI levels (or PVP).. but I generally use t50 strictly for grinding farms.  Besides, a lot of "real" t50 decks just can't be played well by the AI, which isn't very fun in my opinion.  I'd rather face a farm than take the same amount of time to fight a deck which does just as poorly as a farm would, but doesn't give me a chance to win a rare card afterwards.  For instance, I know I'd get my butt kicked in PVP by decks like Pestal -- but when the AI plays it, it's super easy to outrush.

I don't do much t50, but I think it would be less boring for people to fight farms that actually do some stuff, not just play pillars. 
My Score is getting closer to t50 now, so when I'm on t50, I'm thinking about putting up farms like this:

Code: [Select]

7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dg 7dn 7dn 7dn 7dn 7dn 7dn 7n2 7n2 7n2 7n2 7n2 7n2

Code: [Select]

7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7qc 7qc 7qc 7qc 7qc 7qc
Having said that, I like orginal decks on t50, but without shard farms it would have taken me much longer to finish my shard collection.

Yeah, those are biting farms.    I really prefer those types of farms to the simple "pillar + rare" variant (though obviously, I'm highly appreciative of both kinds!). 

I really like that Flying Fahrenheit deck.  I'd like to see that in the t50 now and again.  (:

Haha, thanks. Hopefully I'll get into t50 soon with some grinding so I can put up interesting farms.

  Personally I prefer a good variety of decks in there sometimes but overall, when I play t50 it's mostly trying to get some rares(almost got 12 of each weapon now so won't be an issue for me much longer, but I think most people do play t50 primarily for the farms).  Biting or not doesn't really matter to me much since almost any decent deck should have no trouble handling most biting farms.  I also don't mind having normal decks in there as well to keep things interesting. 

  Actually about the only thing that DOES annoy me lately about t50 is that it seems like about 50% of the games on there lately have been against virtually identical life rush decks .  These are probably the worst ones to face in all ways..they usually have no rares you can win from them AND they get extremely boring after playing so many of em..usually they aren't even that hard to beat but a bad draw can always end up costing you.  Basically they just come down to whether or not you can get a shield and a couple shards out quickly enough

  Anyway, like I said, overall I prefer farms(biting or not) but normal decks are fine as well so long as there is at least some variety and not one type completely dominating it.  Of course, some decks will probably always be more effective than others and thus more popular, so t50 will always be somewhat a case of taking what you get...

I personally would rather face a pure, non biting farm rather than a biting one (even if it is only for the extra 30 electrum ).

If you are going for a bite farm, you might want to think about how much it can harm the average noob with his unupped and badly balanced fire rush farming for rares. For example, the fahrenheit deck BatCountry posted might be a winnable figh for them, but the Pharaoh/rewind might be too much overkill.

 If you are not going to put up a farm, just don't leave up your totally mainstream life rush deck (or any other boring deck you might be using). Putting up an imaginative, new deck helps us to evaluate the damage some strategies can do against certain card combos (as an example, your "rewind farm" was pretty good for this, it made me realize how weak fire rushes are against that ).

[TheonlyrealBeef]

I myself prefer non-biting farms, which is why I tend to put those in the t50

Then again if this poll shows a lot of people want it otherwise I might reconsider, but it takes at least 50 votes before I'm going to change my mind about it

[Memorystick]

There should be an "I don't care/doesn't matter to me" option >_>

[Mithcairion]

I'm not going to lie, it depends.  When I'm farming for the rares, I definitely appreciate being able to go the Ron Popeil way (set it and forget it).  That being said, if I'm playing against an actual deck, I really enjoy the variety.

I couldn't agree more with this statement.  Boiled down, my opinion is that if you want to post a farm, then post a sheep farm, not one with rabid dogs

I like biting farms that use and support the rares in creative ways.

[DrunkDestroyer]

An original deck, all the way.

I don't want to see what you grind with. I want to see what you would consider fun to play, or against.
Someone, please make a Steam Machine Stall, or an Epic Chimera Factory, Fractal Fate Eggs, Vampiric Gargoyles, whatever.
