You mean sort of a rep/karma system where players can be given a thumbs up or down depending on their general behaviour? There is already function added by the BFR staff (similar to the original game's) that lets you report troublesome individuals.

That's Golden Eye 007, from... 1997 I believe (before your time ) and has a huge fanbase even to this day. I was playing Quake 2 back when Golden Eye came out because LAN parties were huge then, plus I didn't have a Nintendo 64.

The original game manuals that were hosted by Steam (before the game has gone f2p) are still accessible on the internet. Thought I'd link them here for old times' sake. These aren't awfully useful anymore - nor up to date - apart from maybe the keyboard layout and the menu guide, but it's still something worth preserving. Plus there is a healthy selection of card portraits for all four factions on the last few pages. English game manual German game manual French game manual Russian game manual

I'd like to have something similar as well for when you haven't got enough time or energy in order to complete all three daily quests. However this would promote multi-accounting, as you could just go through several of your secondary accounts over the weekend for a massive boost. 1) I brought this up a couple of weeks ago. Almost all major CCGs do away with trading and transferring cards/rewards between players, but also to force people in using their real-life currency shop (which won't exist in BFR). While it's a sure way to successfully negate multi-accounting, the BFR team was adamant that no major changes should be made to the core game mechanics that would overhaul the way BF works. XLink noted that the trading aspect is a highly important aspect of the game and must be kept.

One problem with this is that people can create matches with their friends to abuse these sort of quests. For example, hosting a 2v2 PvP game then agreeing on who kills who really fast (or destroying all buildings/units for a swift loss). To make things worse, you'd get rewarded twice for this: once for completing the quest by either winning or losing quickly, and a second time due to the referral system. Or - as it was mentioned by a couple of people - one might be inclined to go afk if forced into playing a game mode he/she dislikes.

Waiting for a wiki themed signature. How about 'Spitfire, the destroyer of worlds'?

is a vanity pet

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

The below is from one of the unofficial FAQs created for BattleForge:

You need to register first. It's the fourth button on the right, just below Login.

Might as well rub it in

The below card creator was made by Arkadij Liebau. The idea is that you can create any BattleForge card by embedding an image as the portrait, then changing and adding further characteristics like colour (orbs), abilities, card name, damage, life points and rarity etc. Read below for my short user guide, and/or feel free to tinker with the tool itself. Click here, or on the above image to go to the card creator. 1) first, select from a building, unit or spell card template. this then changes the below options to match your choice 2) type in the card's name 3) enter power cost (or any text) 4) add up to four orbs. once you click this area, a small pop-up window will allow you to select Fire, Frost, Nature, Shadow or colourless orbs. click on an existing orb to delete it this step determines the card's main colour which can't be changed otherwise 5) click where the card illustration should be, in order to embed any portrait you'd like 6) this is where you add the number of charges, card types and classes depend on what you chose in step 1) 7) enter abilities and descriptins for them. you can choose between activated, passive, toggle etc, including their icons 8) & 9) these two fields are for attack type, damage, unit size and health. again, options depend on card type you selected in step 1) 10) choose the cards' rarity. only base symbols are included Here is an example card I made

Yes... It's either broken or disable though.

Pretty nifty, isn't it. I only remembered that the guide existed. Had to wade through an old gaming forum I used to be an active member on to find the link to the (dead) topic.

Circadia has created a fantastic guide back in 2009 encompassing basically everything that is to know about BattleForge and how to get better at the game. It was built around the concept of PvP, but all kinds of mechanics and strategies are explained within, in great detail. To prove that, here is a quote: I mean, c'mon! How cool is that? The actual guide is 44 pages long, and was only available in pdf format. Unfortunately, converting it to doc throws the formatting/tables and embedding 44 images isn't a healthy option either. You can download the original pdf file by clicking HERE. Here is the Table of Contents to give you guys an idea of what the guide entails: 1. Who this guide is intended for.................... 3 2.

Her offspring won't be able to fly either.

Haha, I wasn't recommending that Thought you'd like to embed only a card or two! Send a pm to @Dawn or post your request here to see if he's willing/able to implement this.

Indeed. Unfortunately that deck builder is using the single cards found on the website then resizes them. The share button only copies card names. Can't see a way of sharing a full deck - unless I'm missing something blatantly obvious - without using brute force (print screen, crop, upload then link image). Would be a nice feature though. Want to put a request in?

This should help.

It's donate@bfreborn.com.

7.2/10 pretty good but there are Netsky tracks I like better e.g. Come Alive, Escape and Rise & Shine.

He has been mistaken once. That one time.

Hmm... hard to word it without causing some confusion Added under 'abilities', thank you.

I always found it strange talking to my German in-game buddies because every time one of us called out the name of a unit/building/tech, you had to do a swift translation on the fly and sometimes quickly guess what the other meant Come to think of it, the fact that most of the time they had trouble speaking English (but understood it almost perfectly) and I don't speak German anymore (but understand the language perfectly) resulted in odd looking conversations in clan/community channels - them talking exclusively in German, and me replying in English.
