So like, general consensus, what's THE most insane gold minion? Probably some 6 star right?
Maybe Golden Brann Bronzebeard?
It's weird how those tokens don't add up damage, when all other 1/1's do.
The plant tokens are bugged and will be fixed in a patch soon.
Tokens should all deal 1.
Amazing, he even wields the Scales of Justice!
We playtested Sylvanas and Faceless and it was too busted!
We used to have a hero that made your left most minion poisonous (Putricide) so we passed over unstable ghoul. Now that he gives +10 attack (+20 in the future actually) we can include ghoul.
We are adding an existing Demon in December, bonus points if you can guess which one.
I'm a bit confused on MMR, I thought if you were top 4 you gained MMR but I lost MMR instead when I got 4th?
If the average MMR of the game is lower than yours (you got relatively easy opponents) then 4th place can cause an MMR loss. In these games you need top 3 to gain MMR.
As more people start climbing ranks this happens very rarely.
I doubt they are. Just an odd little placeholder, no?
These are not collectible cards, so if something looks like it has a low mana cost don't worry about it.
Reno had design and visual effects issues so he was sent packing.
I literally downloaded this game on my phone because I have played AutoChess games before in my phone and they are fun but OMG, my phone has 4 GB of ram and I have had literally 7 or so turns that I can't finish over 3 games because animations take too much time!
I am a designer but I know the engineering team is working hard on phone improvements every patch. Some went in yesterday and I am pretty sure more will be in the next patch too.
Do you mean lose more points for a loss u/mdonais?
Make a change so that people get more points for a win and for a loss.
That makes it sound like you get more points for losing (which I assume is outside top four). Which sometimes is natural if you're the lowest guy in a game given peoples range of MMR.
If so that's good. MMR needs to be more volatile than it is.
ok, I clarified thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks for all the feedback on battlegrounds MMR and how it feels.
We sat with engineers and talked through how it works and decided on a change that will help with the issues.
We are going do 2 things. 1. Post explaining how it works. 2. Make a change so that people get more points for a win and lose more for a loss.
The future post will go into more details on this.
Thanks for the polite, clear feedback - it really helped us know what to look for and how to address it.
Patch notes will be up soon.
The mana cost change is just relevant for effigy.
For context, because it takes 2 weeks to make a proper client patch with localization and QA, these changes predate Blizzcon and were made before we had live data.
We have a small server side patch next week that introduces new heroes. After that we will patch balance again at the start of December.
Ideally you want a divine shield minon for this - so that the buffs help you twice.
Later in the game if you see a hydra you could repeat the process and make a big hydra. Its tough when you have 5 minions in the shop though because you will sometimes buff the wrong thing.
We don't specify an exact time in case one of a million possible things goes wrong, but ideally around 25 hours from now if everything goes right.
OT: Are they going to wipe all player stats (rank points) at release?
We are not resetting MMR. That makes for very bad matchmaking and you face people that are not the same skill as you.
My biggest complaint about this system is they count the unreleased set as the latest one. At this time the only way to have the bonuses is by spending $50+. Hopefully moving forward they won’t count the new set until it’s actually been released
In this situation - during the 4th month of descent of dragons you can have descent of dragons packs or the future expansion packs to unlock it.
I always have between 5000-9000 gold saved for each expansion.
Yep and as long as you have around 1500 saved + you earn around 5 free packs (which is easy to do) then you can unlock the hero bonus choice.
The goal is for free to play people to have access if they engage a lot (do quests and earn gold).
Our engineers are looking into this thanks!
mmm Bacon
We actually catered a bacon /eggs /pancakes breakfast to celebrate finishing the mode.
