General Discussion / Re: What deck did you start with?

« on: March 10, 2010, 02:24:35 am »

Aether: Seemed to slow even with spiders so I reset my account and tried Fire.  Got bored and tried a bunch of other stuff from FFQ swarm to Life rush.  Lots of fun decks out there to try.

Trio & Quartet / Re: Nymphomania (anti-FG) + stats

« on: March 10, 2010, 01:52:43 am »

I'm not finding this deck to be very good.  Tried several different versions of it, but nothing seemed to work well.  Played 50 games on the trainer and won less than 25% of the games.  Most of the games I lost before getting anything on the board or carded out.  I would love to find a good alternative to the standard rainbow, but this does not seem to be it.

Random, Normal and Elder / Re: The AI3 Farming Challenge

« on: March 09, 2010, 02:29:19 am »

I did a bunch of testing like this, before I found this thread.  Unfortunately I can't find my test results, but from what I remember, the Immolation / Lava Golem type of decks were the fastest.  I got the best win/loss ratio with the Life rush/adrenaline deck.   For new players, I think the Life rush / adrenaline deck would be the best way to grind Level 3 as it is very fast, easy to play, has a very high win/loss ratio and it is relatively cheap.

Rainbow Decks / Re: ivalmian's Rainbow SpeedDeck (kills almost all FG with elem master for v1.17+)

Okay guess i'm gonna rant and rage a little bit now so if you don't want to hear me whine maybe you should pass on this post. It's been a very difficult tough go lately and i just want to throw my laptop. Just finished 150 games and i have to say... I AM NOT HAPPY. What makes me more frustrated is that i'm not sure if i can blame it on the build, bad luck, or just a mass of bad FG's.

LOL, same thing happened to me yesturday.

I usually do pretty well with Vreely's decks, but when I tried the 36 card deck yesturday things went pretty bad (32% win rate).  Got mostly hard FGs and when I finally got some easy ones, I got horrible draws.   Just goes to show how much luck can play in this game.   Some of it might have been due to the deck and or my lack of ability to use it properly, but I think it was just pure bad luck.   Maybe the deck is Jinxed... JK

I do have a little feedback on the deck.  Several times I found myself waiting around for that first Quint to show up.  Maybe swapping out a Phase Shield for a Quint might be better?

Yeah, I'll let you know if I give it another go and replace 1 steal with 1 Quint.   

Problem with this game is the high amount of RNG (randomness) and it would take hundreds of games to get a result with high confidence.   Sometimes I feel like I'm playing a game of slots vs a game of skill.

Rainbow Decks / Re: Scaredgirl's (almost) NON-UPGRADED False God Rainbow

« on: March 07, 2010, 10:46:39 pm »

Chaos Lord  0-1 His deck is sorta random. I usually average 33% wins against him
Dark Matter 0-1 if he doesnt get his quantum controls fast, i can win, but he usually does, dont expect this to change much
Destiny 0-2 youve either had bad luck, or ive had good luck. I usually avg about 50% wins against him
Incarnate 0-1 one of the easier ones. I usually avg about 75% against him. This number will get better
Miracle 0-1 the first 2-3 times, he pwnd me, and I thought everyone was crazy. The Next 10 times I realized how easy he was. Bad draws are a pain against miracle
Obliterator 0-1 0-100000 (not literally, but you get the point
Octane 0-1 (see obliterator)
Rainbow 0-1 see obliterator, multiply by 10000 although I did have a close game.... once....
Seism 0-1 Eh, ive had a lot of close calls, but they were all losses. I could probably pull one off
Total    0-10

 
games are very consistent, all so far lost within 10 turns and had not enough mana to play anything for first 7 or so turns

I quoted your rates on what ive experienced. You havent faced firequeen or ferox, the 2 easier ones with this deck. I usually win against them/

Yeah, it gets much better once you get comfortable with the deck and the False Gods. 

This is a pretty good deck for being almost none upgradded.  I would replace one steal with a Quintessence.  On most False Gods, the first creature placed on the board needs to be protected or it is more or less dead.  Ideally, you want to get a protected Otyugh on the board ASAP to slow down the False Gods creature spam.  With only one Quintessence in a 40 card deck, it is unlikely to get a Quint early in the game.

Rainbow Decks / Re: The ULTIMATE False God killing deck!!!

« on: March 07, 2010, 09:20:16 pm »

upping sundials is pretty stupid, and a waste of 9000 coins.

Upped Sundials are not a waste.  Especially with speed decks since lots of time quanta is needed to fuel the hourglasses.

Tutorials / Re: Which Rare Weapon Should I Pick as a Reward?

« on: March 07, 2010, 05:18:25 pm »

What rare to choose really depends on what you plan to do.

Do you plan on farming some top 50 and then slowly work up to FGs?
Do you plan on farming some AI5s and then slowly work up to FGs?

If it's the former, I would choose a "rare" rare card such as morning star, *gasp* vampire dagger, titan, lobotomizer, discord, etc.

If it's the later, I would choose a pulverizor or eternity since those are heavily used in false god decks.

I don't think anyone should ever pick vampire dagger. I have 5 of them just from farming AI3 and I started playing only recently.

DO NOT PICK the following weapons for your reward as they are very easy to get by farming Level 3.   See my post above about Level 3 weapons.

Owl's Eye
Vampire Stiletto
Morning Star
Druidic Staff

General Discussion / Re: which is stronger, good or evil?

« on: March 06, 2010, 12:34:04 am »

Discussion like this should not be taken personal or made personal.   When people remain rational (yeah, that is hard for some), discussions like this can be fun and exciting.  The problem here is people are getting all worked up over nothing.  If you don't want to discuss it or read it, then ignore this thread.

Balance is extremely important with this kind of game and it should be expected that balance discussions are going to be a part of it.  As long as the discussion is rational/cival, it should not be considered whinning/complaining.

Competitions / Re: War is coming..

« on: March 05, 2010, 02:55:07 am »

First off, when I posted about the potential imbalance issue due to Evil having all the perm control, I didn't mean for it to be a complaint.  It was just an observation.  While I still think it is unbalanced and it would be nice for it to be more balanced, I do realize that the Theme > Balance for this senario.

Here is an idea that fits into the theme well.  Shard of Gratitude and Shard of Divinity, while technically considered Other cards should be considered Good for this theme and thus can only be used for/by Good.  They should still count as an upgraded card.

400+ post so far.  Imbalance issues or not, this event has generated lots of interest and hopefully will continue on.   

I still want to join in on this, just need to get on a team.
