  1. This contest is great!

    I had to realize again that I am ok'ish in copying strategys, but not in inventing them :D

    On the one hard kinda hard to see, that I am not able to beat this map in average time x2 - but also this shows me how much I can learn still about this game.

    More pve challenges in future with more specific restrictions can lead to a lot of fun. Especially like orb colour restrictions or more cards that should not be used

    Couldn't agree any more :)

     

    Edit: Seeing the times I would not be surprised, if the ~10 mins runs are hot candidates for the most creative strategy too

    So advertising will unfortunately be limited to reaching out to YouTubers/Streamers/Magazines, and asking them to promote our game for free

    Ihhhek how old fashioned 

    Jokes aside, but that is in my eyes the way it should be.

    Among these ideas are things like advertising via YouTubers and letting them give scratch card codes among to their subscribers

    Why....

    I don't get the sense (I can see in most games today) of giving ingame rewards for (fake) suscribing on other plattforms. I know its a modern thing - but still don't get it.

    Kinda frustrating, if you want to keep your progression in a good pace, if you have to watch around on platforms you would not care for otherwise (for me Twich).

    And if I for example suscribe someone like Nachtwolf on his Twitch account, only for getting a free card (yes, I must admit I would be so greedy) neither he nor me will be helped. He has a suscriber, that never looks his channel and I have the spam via E-Mail... where is the benfit for the game?

    But ofc I see that many people enjoy such marketing ... why? :)

    but an even better option would be to feed the database with an API of the actual marketplace auctions

    This would be the almost perfect solution indeed. Did you speak with the devs about this? Even better would be to get data from the game itself about actual trades in AH - because this does not reflect either supply or demand side, but the price itself.

     

    Btw - what does the graph show? Lowest buyout I'd guess?

  5. I very much like the idea behind this. More tranparency usually leeds to better prices.

    But I am a bit concerned about the "enter price" button. How does it work and how can you prevent prices from beeing manipulated there? (In either way)

    How does it work if different people rate the same card on the same day differently.  What does happen, if one persons "spams" a price on your tracker?

    Sorry for so many questions about manipulation, but sadly I see too many greedy people out there.

  6. Can make the same offer as Buddelmuddel, hope it is ok for you that I conquer your Thread.

    If you need help starting Bg10 you can msg me here, ingame (weekdays european afternoon-evening, weekend prolly all day long) or via discord (Volin#8101, you'll find me on the SR DC)

    You should bring:

    A deck lvl 80+ and an open mind to work on this, for the first steps meta approaches like mentioned above are a good starting point

    A relaxed attitude and will to comunicate either on english (or german)

    At least 1-2 hours time

    A solid Bg9 experience

     

    Looking forward to your questions and msg

    Cya ingame

    you wanna say, at one day in future i have like all cards 5 times, and than i send 4 enlightments to my friend, or sell them, because i know i will get enlightment in the next boosters cuz its the only card i dont have 5 times? Sounds stupid 

    That pretty nailed it

    Yeah this account resetting sounds more like a separate thing to me, prolly indeed collectors ranks. But getting this fully ranked up will probably take half a decade^^

    Five years sounds realistic, perhaps even a bit more I would think. But that sounds like a good aim for me. This would be the time horizon with which one could and should plan for the probably largest achievement around, in my opionion. And if the devs would take up Mephisto's idea, this would indeed be the greatest achievement to be achieved :) I personally would love the idea.


    Btw, I had some thoughts on the general system for the speedrun titles. But I always come back to the system as it used to be, i.e. there are points for the highest places at the end of the month and the ranks are unlocked from a certain number of points.

    What I personally didn't like about the old system is the distribution of these points and that these points represent the normal EXP. But I think that the basic question of a system should be asked first and that it should be discussed in detail afterwards.

    Does anyone else have another revolutionary idea for a fundamentally different system after that the speedrun titles could be awarded?

     

    Apart from Zyna (on the theoretical feasibility), no one has yet commented on the idea of a free choice of titles, what do you think?

    I think that free choice could never hurt anyone, because some people win something, but nobody loses anything. But maybe I am missing something again

     

  9. Uh, did not really get all that you said Treim. But later more on that what I understood.

    The first thing I have to realize for myself is that not only do I have no experience with the speedrun titles, but I also have a very limited and personal perspective on the game. I play mainly battlegrounds and only had those 3 ladders in mind - I had completely forgotten that there is that campain thingy :P

    Also, only today, through Mephisto's last post, I understood that the numbers of Treim are normal XP. I had thought, because they are speedrun titles, that this is a completely separate point system. This would be another valid option for our new system btw. Especially with the option that you can choose your titles freely among the titles you have already received, it would be a possibility for the 4 speedrun titles to simply introduce their own point system. This would solve the problem that speedruns are very effective in some PvE maps to gain experience. Both together, the problems of "overlapping" titles would no longer be a problem.

    The beauty of the normal pve ranks is that you can see from the rank which players have invested a lot of time in this (pve) game and which players are relative new. So it is basically a way to show off your experience. 

    This rather does not correspond with my experience. I am a good example for this, having Archon rank atm. Guess I did 99% of my XP in Battlegrounds - but many people may assume from my rank that I am perhaps a usefull mate for expert campains, I don't have a clue on most of these. There are some maps that I have perhaps never completet on expert so far.

    And on the other hand, I see almost daily purple ranks in BG9 or BG10 that have not even a clue on the most basic mechanics there. (its the right hut seen from the entrance !!! :) )

    But if many people share your view, this is a thing we have to concern about indeed. But I personally guess if someone earns one of the speedrun titels, takes the option to show this speedrun title instead of his quite low pve rank, the speedrun rank still shows more about that player then his, lets say high silver rank, does. Because if he can do constant top10 ranks over month that show quite some skill.

    To give you some inspiration, one of the ideas we had so far is a New Game+ experience which basically is a button to reset all your progression (bfp, cards, gold, etc.) which only is possible once you collected all cards fully upgraded. The reward for this would be these ranks, so after doing this 4 times you would become master of the Forge.

    Love this idea, though it would be a crazy achievement!

    In order to carry the idea forward, how would it be to invent and introduce 4 further titles with the community as additional "collecter ranks"?
    Together with the idea of making the titles freely selectable, that sounds - for me - more and more round.

    He wants the speed rank! :-D

    Not sure if you are speaking of Zyna, or me :)

    But I guess you are right in both cases. Zyna has it and I wouldn't say no to that titles. Thats was my reason to ask for it. :D

    Only taking part with the mobile, some deeper thoughts later.

     

    First step should be what MephistoRoss already did, collecting general ideas about a system we can agree on - not too detailed for now. I will sum up those ideas in the opening thread later, too

    On the issue that the golden ranks "overwrite" those normal pve ranks:

    I think that shouldn't be a big problem. First of all those golden ranks seem to be more shiny. Most people would not even complain if their 4*Purple rank would be overwritten by a golden rank, or? 

    But perhaps it would be possible to implement a system where people could choose among their obtained titles which one they want to display, as many games do. @Devs: What would you say from the gut, would such a thing be very complicated to implement? (Long term seen ofc)

  11. Ah thanks Treim, do you remember numbers for the ranks too? 

    Guess the first pretty "easy" while the last totally insane?

    Was is like an alltime achievement, or was it kinda connected to the activity?

     

  12. Hey folks, hey devs,

    not really sure where to put this, as it is a mix of a suggestion and a question:

    Are there any plans to make this ranks aviable again? If not, wouldn't it be an idea to do so - not sure with how much work this comes

    grafik.png.88247ee4b5145908b4a1241b9852652c.png

    In the old days I was so casual that I never even recognized those ranks, I don't even know how they are to obtain.

    But it would certainly increase the competition a bit.

    Especially the 1 Player Map is often only played by a handfull of people - and I know there are at least a few dozen people that are able to beat BG10.

     

    And furthermore - it looks so cool :D

     

    Cheers
