Eredan's World

i think you missed my original complaint. idc if ppl quit in the first round. it's when ***bip*** in round 7 and all his characters are dead and he has no possible way of defending the next attack that he just quits or let's the timer run out. tha's what pisses me off. especially if all 3 of mine are still alive and i'm about to score a perfect. you and i both know that it is the only reason for quitting at that point. just to screw ***bip*** opponent out of some bonus crystals and xp.

no it's Ishaia, Galmara, Golemarlok....w/ 1 nehantic stone lvl1 3 steal, 1 Kunai and then the usual water spells and courtesan cards. they work fairly wellagainst most of the new setups, but they annihilate any zil or kotoba decks.

And as far as accidental disconnects etc...they've happened to me or the game freezing, but those don't happen often enough to be upset about the losses resulting from them. If you have that bad of a connection it's ***bip*** own fault. All i'm saying is play with some integrity for goodness sake. it's not that hard...

*missing text* or bug
I noticed that when klementine uses detonate "port" does double the damage it's supposed to. Which is cool since i'm using her, but not fair to other players. I would venture to say that text is missing from port" with regard to the buff or it's a bug. I have not tried it with "nut" so i don't know if the same thing occurs.
thanks.

i think it would be dumb to make all the guilds capable of the same exact things...but that seems what the basic complaint is.
Pirates have so many more deadly uses besides Narwhal...when trying a new guild it's common to try and adapt it to ***bip*** usual playstyle. saps have 1 of 3 strategies...world tree can buff spells as well as pilkim and pals with the addition of physical damage and damge reduction, elfine saps are double or triple attacks and magic poison, hom' chai are ihas whores.
Pirate strategies are much more diverse....gemin eye, with the right accompaniment is a courtesan killer, stacking kilicrew with items results in high damage and health recovery, armada can be insanely powerful and with the right support can one off every character she faces, potato peeling and phoenix is another one....and now the recent addition of a mage courtesan and lighting booster items you can pound ***bip*** enemies with philosophical debate and lightning chains...but just like any deck build, selecting the right "keystone" is most important. meaning the one card that determines victory or defeat....ie ihas, a deck built around it it smashed if anathematize is played at just the right moment. mebbe building a pirate deck around narwhal isn't the right strategy for that particular guild.....

it always negated magic attack...just had to be sure you played it before the spell.

i don't think it would be OP for several reasons:

if it's not ***bip*** turn, mages can still get at least one spell in before the stone's effect activates

you can only have one

it can't be chained so you still gamble if you play it on ***bip*** turn and pilkim plays a double "than the sword"  Speaking from experience.

he should be a sap-nomad or pirate nomad courtesan:
his clothes are tattered, pirates need a priest, sap need a priest, would help make the connection of orzine and the nomads (if it's not already covered in the story...gotta read that thing one day), a tempus-courtesan-priest would be cool too.

could you pray for me? i'd really like to win the lottery this weekend.

my nomads aren't strong enough yet to deal enough damage and it doesn't help if my best attack cards are discarded by theft or from my hand because i managed to get three of them in a single draw.

i love the strategy of the game and contrary to the impression you all have, i don't want the decks removed from the game.

i'm just saying we need more options for countering them other than pure luck of the draw.

but it's become a moot subject, since the only thing anyone has to offer in retrospect to this repeated complaint is, you need better cards or stronger characters. it's a bunch of crock if you ask me and hardly passes for advice.
mebbe i should just build a discard deck under the "if you can't beat em join em" philosophy, but how long til the majority of players decide the same thing?

basically, if ***bip*** lvl 15 or under, a discard deck is becoming ***bip*** best bet. and last i checked, that would mean ALOT of discard decks.

i'm back on the fence about these decks....the new abyssien is virtually impossible to one off...and if the other zils use look away you can't one off them anymore either.
so, alot of the countering i've used is out the window. i stacked a temple gaurdian deck with mimic, moneyed and obesity and still lost more than half my deck to discards...we just need more options or we all really will just be running 4 character combos and 2 strategies making the rest of the game obsolete. eredan has so much more to offer than a cheap victory. i didn't mind losing 1 or 2 games to discard decks here and there, but now it's a plague of them and i'm losing 4 out of 5. if nothing else it's irritating and kinda kills how much i enjoy playing the game.
