DieToPlay

Name: As clean as can be
Description: Win a random battleground on standard difficulty without receiving a single point of damage.

(Alternative: BG on standard AND a single-player map on standard, but I couldn't think of a good one except Encounters and Soultree, and those have been used so often in achievements already.)
Reward: Clean Forge

Since so many asked me, I might as well share the replay ^^ 
It was a fastest run, but by no means my cleanest as I lost way too many Shadow Phoenix and the egg pushing could be a bit smoother. 

A small explanation on how I did it:
 
 
Enjoy 🙂

Asking and listening are two different words. You can open any amount of threads and pretend to care about community feedback and in the end proceed to your plan all along.

Yeah changing Primeval to require 3 nature orbs really makes no sense to me its not like Watcher is so powerful that his orb requirements should be so restrictive. Bloodhorn for example is MUCH more powerful and only requires 1 shadow and 1 fire same applies to Gemeye,which by the way recieved a buff without changing its orb requirements. I wouldnt call Primeval "Trash Tier" but changing his orb requirements was just a bad idea.
This kind of reminds me of the Batariel nerf. There wasnt even a topic in the Balance Discussions part of the forum they simply nerfed Batariel to death. Then after alot of people complained they finally buffed Batariel again but that buff was just not enough in my opinion one man army Batariel decks are still pretty weak compared to what they were before.
The Batariel nerf was never needed because for the average player Batariel was never OP alot of casual players failed with pre nerf Batariel on harder maps either because they misplaced a spell or simply because they attacked too early and ran out of energy all it took was one mistake and Batariel died.
Also from what ive heard Decomposer was also nerfed to death without asking the BF Community and that made alot of Speedrunnders quit. I was never interested in speedrunning so i payed no attention to that but i cant find a topic about Decomposer in the Balance Discussions section so i guess its true.
Dont get me wrong im pretty happy with what the Skylords Reborn team has done so far but some of their decisions make absolutely no sense to me.

Well, Primeval Watcher became 3 Green orb and Ghost Spears became 2 Green orb with
NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER. Ghost spears might not be Trash tier, but they're pretty much useless out of PVP and
Primeval Watchers are now actual Trash Tier useless cards.
 
Your feedback doesn't matter, The skylord team will announce something they plan and they
will patch it into the game no matter how shit the idea is.
 
Depressing.
I'm gonna stop posting any feedback about the game what so ever because why bother?

Hi old friends!
I run a tech startup now and I was telling my team how EA allowed you guys to work on this codebase and how you actually pulled it off. They were blown away. We're impressed!
Sadly, I don't have a minute to work on this game but I'm VERY tempted to come back and start playing every now and again.
As I was looking through this site I noticed WindHunter & Wolven my old buddies from WAAAAY back on here. And RadicalX is still here? Very cool!
 
Trivia! Do you know the xNTx from my username can from Wolven? Tell them bud! My original account was just FarRock. He convinced me to join his PVE clan.
 
Anyhow, life updates:
Four kids, bought a house Run a career coaching business Have a YouTube channel for career coaching Wrote a book for entry level professionals in finance Run a tech startup. We're going live in a month and then will be raising for our first public round, so that's super exciting!  
How have you all been? Excited to catch up! Any other old buddies of mine here? MaranV still around?
 
EDIT: Just checked out that video I posted 4 years ago. Wow so many of you really wanted me to come back. Makes me nostalgic. I'm gonna download!

Love y'all,
Mark
 

I think the rewards should be reworked.
Feels not satisfying being limited to only get Top 1 once per month.
Currently there's no difference if I'm rank 1, 2 times or 10 times.

This^, but aren't you guys bored of the same default decks?
t1 fire > shadow phoenix > double shadow for frenetic spells and infect
t1 shadow > resource booster > double shadow for frenetic spells and infect
 
Hopefully it's going to change soon, and not by nerfing the current combos but rather adding more good and strong cards.

See it exactly the same!

Fire lets you work together over the 4 starting positions and no other color comes close to that. Yeah Shadow rewards with early RB, what is a HUGE advantage if executed correctly, but that is rather a speedrunners topic imo. Even more as it helps vastly to know the map to utilize the Shadow start perfectly.

Also I share your inventory on Nature starts, yes they can be helpful in very certain situations, but here you also have a big advantage to know the map in advance (and utilize that as a team). Plus this comes with the downside that either the Nature starter needs to be bombed through with the help of Fire players or is way slower in a scenario where time is pressing even if you are not speedrunning at all. Plus you have less firepower for the other 3 fire-starters. Just to mention that.

That is the reason why all solid 10 players usually choose a Fire start for random matches. As soon as we are speaking about motm/speedrun things may change ofc.

One more reason for fire starts: Even if you have 4 really good players, every few matches one of them will missplay slightly and need some help, there's so many things that can go wrong in a BG10   T1 phase. Happens to all of us. Here you need fire starters or the player that made a mistake is blown from the map.

And just to stress this out once again: Of course any color is viable, even more in perfect teams. Kybaka for example plays sometimes an excellent frost start. Seen Treim starting with any colour or a group around Donaar and Gameover played 10s even with a pure frost setup over the whole team. That is totally possible, but for above reasons nothing that is ever suiting in a random group.

Same goes by the way for the rest of the deck ^^ Yeah ofc you can play almost any faction (with small exceptions) in 4 player 10s. But it will lower your win-rate drastically as certain situations are not possible when not some quite meta decks are around.
 

1. Ofc it is doable with any color. But you should know it is a bit more complicated why fire is commonly asked for.
2.  10s are not casual content at all?

I'll open the party at 18:00 CET on my channel with a bigger opening (+100) and we will raid to Ultralord at 19:00 CET then

Are the top 3 going to be streamed?

There are a lot of people who are currently experiencing massive lags after some time in forge, but I guess Kubik said we are lying so must be it.

Sadly, I do not have enough time currently to go into speedrunning.
But good luck with your search 🙂

The requirements are simple.
Availability.
Willing to put time into the runs.
Creative.
True to the team.
Good mechanics in-game to execute the ideas.
