[Shrine of War]

I think it would be better if you wouldnt change the stats or even buff it but make it require 4 fire orbs,

because there is no real reason to use a pure fire deck in PvE, Batariel is much better if you use him with Enlightenment.

And since Shrine of War is way more powerful than Shrine of Martyrs making him a T4 building would make sense.

[Advertising the Game]

Im not sure if it is good for Battleforge to become popular, lets say more and more people start playing it and everyone is talking about it.

Then EA might take the game away from you and officially re-release it just to make some money.

I know EA allowed you to work on this project, but they can revoke that permission anytime, and we all know how greedy they are.

As we speak there is exactly 1 person on the test server, and 1121 players on the main server. We don't want to restrict access to the test server, because there's already barely anyone testing new balancing changes and features as of right now.

Well as long as you dont shut down the test server im happy ^^

this is the fun part for me about the game..you make the best out of the crappy cards you get and you save up some coin for that one fancy unit or whatever now and then. As far as i know, most if not all maps can even be played with the starter decks on expert.

Also i wonder why you handycap yourself by playing rPvE9 4 player matches only with 2 or 3 players or even do rPvE10 for the challenge, but at the same time want fully upgraded cards for free. You could have the same difficulty level in rPvE if you simply don't have the perfect meta-decks.

Today i struggled in rPvE again because i did not have any of these veryvery handy cards, to counter certain situations. Instead of rPvE 9 or 10 i played more 6 or 7 BG lvls with the same challenge and fun when i could finish it with my starter decks.

To me the grinding part of this game is the worst part and im not the only one who doesnt enjoy it.

I dont see why players shouldnt have to option to get all cards fully upgraded right away, as long as they cant be traded.

Or another option would be to add some PvE decks to those lvl 120 PvP decks, or at least let players use those cards in PvE mode.

Right now im playing on the test server but unfortunately me and my friend are the only people who play on this server.

But wouldn't that defeat the purpose? Doing PvE with a fully upgraded  deck with overpowered cards is not even a challenge in most maps.

Depends on how youre playing, i usually play rPvE9 4 player matches only with 2 or 3 players

sometimes with certain rules, for example no Support Buildings or no Batariel. 

And for rPvE 10 you also need a very good deck.

So basically, what we have with the free meta PVP decks? What is your complaint with them?

While the idea is legit, it also takes a way a lot of the experience and the motivation to actually play the game. But I think that the free decks are actually decent, if you just want a quick match with good cards. It is a good compromise.

Well im not a PvP player, most of the time i just play rPvE.

In order to get good cards for rPvE id have to grind for a very long time and play game modes i dont enjoy.

[Too much grinding]

Hi

I dont know how other people feel about this but to me the game right now is very boring and frustrating.

I have to play game modes i dont even want to play just to get BFP and boosters, and since i usually dont have much time to play it will probably take me ages to get some good fully upgraded decks.

Im sure there are players who love grinding but for me the game is just no fun right now.

I think it would be a good idea to let people choose if they want to grind or if they want all cards fully upgraded right away.

Those fully upgraded cards should be non tradable so the economy doesnt collapse.

Let me know what you think of my Idea.

[rPvE 9 Difficulty changed ?]

No, i never join or create motm matches.

 

[rPvE 9 Difficulty changed ?]

Hi

Im wondering if the difficulty of 4 player lvl 9 rPvE maps has been changed,

because since about 1-2 weeks 90% of the time im getting either bandits or stonekin/bandits maps.

I have played about 30 games this week and only 1 of them has been Lost Souls.

Has rPvE 9 been made easier or am i just being unlucky ?

My name "Kiwi" actually comes from the first two letters "Ki" from my first name and the first two letters "Wi" from my last name and together it just happens to make "Kiwi" it's also a nickname I've had for the last ten years or so. I also have several friends from New Zealand who don't find it offensive. Kiwi is not only a fruit and what people from New Zealand are often called but it is also an extremely endangered adorable and flightless bird, which happens to be one of my favorite animals.

Your incapability to understand sarcasm is offending me.

As far as i know most Magma Hurlers are fine with being called Kiwis.

But Stonekin Aggressors, who are closely related to Magma Hurlers absolutely dont want to be called Kiwis.

Im sorry you feel that way. The Skylords Reborn Team takes reports very seriously. Should you encounter any toxic/elitist behavior, please feel free to contact us on discord through PM or through the forums.

As far as my personal experiences go, other games seem to have it much worse with toxicity, and actually the community in BattleForge is one of the nicest Ive ever seen. That being said, in any online game, there will definitely be some people who are toxic or otherwise. It's just the nature of internet communication under protection of the veil of anonymity. I hope you will not let them get you down, as like you said yourself there are some decent people out there. I'm not sure in which specific case people were toxic to you, but when in doubt, you could try conversing with them people you play with them. That should give you a feeling whether they are nice people or not. In the worst case scenario that you still run into toxic people the Global Moderators of Skylords Reborn are always ready to help.  I hope this one bad case hasn't dissuaded you from playing BattleForge yet.

Wait a second, toxic/elitist behaviour is a reason to ban someone ?

Dont get me wrong, I dont like those people either, but banning or punishing them just because they are unfriendly is way over the top.

Lol, after a month or two i now got pure frost, pure shadow, lost souls and stonekin PvP decks pretty much fully upgraded plus every PVE card i desired. How does it take years for you to get a pure fire deck? It's not even about putting in endless hours, just get a few boosters a week and it shouldn't take too long to be ready for competitve pvp.

About complete access to everything: Wasn't this phase also about testing/observing progression ? It would defeat the purpose to give out everything then.

Edit: at the moment, the bigest obstacle to getting a fully upgraded PvP deck is actually reaching the rank you need to upgrade rares, URs

Well im not lying, maybe you have more luck with Boosters but most of the time i just get crappy Cards that arent worth much.

 

[too much grinding ?]

Yeah there is definitly too much grinding in my opinion.

I dont have much time to play, only 30-40 min a day, and so far a only have 2000 bfp and a rPvE stonekin deck simply because its relatively cheap and effective.

Id really like to play PvP again with a pure fire deck but thats not possible becasue it would take me YEARS to get a fully upgraded deck.

For a fully upgraded fire PvP deck id need 2 Ultra rare cards(Firedancer,Disenchant) and 7 rare cards(Firesworn,Sunderer,Scythe Fiends,Gladiatrix,Windfire,Giant Slayer,Jugggernaut).

And of course i Need those Cards 4 times each because of charge upgrades.

And since i dont have the time to trade for hours a day, there is no way for me to get those cards in a reasonable amount of time.

In the old days i had all Cards and i used a different deck for rPvE almost every game.

Now every match is basically the same, i have to use my Stonekin deck over and over again,thats really getting boring and frustrating.

I might buy some Cards to make a ShadowNature rPvE deck but then it would take me even longer to get a Fire PvP deck...

 

And another thing, Fiki you are way too aggressive and mean to People who dont agree with you, remember

we are not your enemies.

We just want Battleforge to be fun and popular, we really appreciate what you and the other devs are doing.

Sad to say, horrible.

 

I was really excited to play BF again but I logged in I lost count of how many times and have not yet been able to actually play a game.

 

Either I get "Your client has lost connection" or "Too many users", or last time when I clicked CREATE GAME by encounters with twilight it just froze.

 

I'm not going to try anymore...feels hopeless and a waste of time.

 

I'm in NY, USA if this matters at all.

I dont see anything wrong or offensive with that post, FarRock just shared his personal experience with the stress test.

People really need to chill and stop being so overly protective and sensitive, this is really creating a toxic atmosphere.

[[Important] Open Beta Delayed]

2 hours ago, InsaneHawk said:

Hello Skylords,

So now, let's talk about what we're going to do after all you will have to wait a bit longer, and please forgive us for this delay.

We have decided on a few things:

• Everyone will receive 2 boosters once the game will be in open beta (you'll still get them even after a potential reset)
• From the 1st of February and until the Open beta, we'll invite some players everyday to the closed beta, to increase the amount of players, progressively (Giveaways will happen anytime during the day, morning, afternoon, evening ..)
• You'll be able from now to pre-download the client, and we finally after a lot of discussion decided to give the client here on the forum ourselves. Want to pre-download it ? Click here

INFORMATION : Giveaways for the Closed Beta will resume! These giveaways will mainly be held on Discord, but it may also happen on the forum, so keep following these two closely!

Discord : https://discord.gg/0y3WGMGXhd5q2lXA

With kind regards and apologies for any inconvenience caused,

Sincerely,
The Skylords Reborn Team

i have a question about those 2 free Boosters:

What about Multi Accounting? People can just make alot of accounts and send the Cards to their main account and get all Cards in no time.

[which card gives you the most nostalgia?]

Magma Hurler

but i have no idea why ^^
