Every time someone places wheels in rpve my SoW activation suffers from it
Feel you. 2 or 4 yellow Inc Mo buffs but you can't see an Enlightenment or Shrine.
Or one of the 3 Wheel buffs shown multiple times...
Makes no sense to me either.
If there is technical limitations, k then we have to deal with that, but if temporary buffs like Shrines and global buffs from spells would have priority, or could at least be shown next to one Wheel or Inc Mo buff that would be great QoL

As example invest more of the Cards in booster. Why giving them a card to sell instead of a booster? Like u are getting Frost-Mage but yours is already full. Would u realy be happy about that? Or you get a Thunderwagon(R) but don't touch fire, I definitly would prefer a Booster because of Gambling or sell booster. Also that would make it easier for price Pool like 1-3 getting special prices, 4-10 nearly same amount of boosters and maybe something special and 11-20 the same+all the others the same like a price that everyone gets that take part.
With unsold cards u can make Give Aways during stream also with boosters or BFP leftovers. Because if u calculate the Values of the Cards u will definitly see there would had been enough BFP. Also the selling isn't that hard. +When u start the Stream of the event u anyway know how much players took part in the event and also u can say ok there wasn't so much players in the Event so we increase the price pool and start Stream Surveys with solutions how to increase it. So later on the peoples decide what happens not a Streamer.He has no influence what he gets sponsored, and donating a card is still better as donating nothing. See this just as the cherry on top, sponsored by fellow players.
But team just announced to give some more Boosters into the pool so you dreams may come true

Hey WindHunter,
then I'll make the start on this one again. But let me say first, for many things this not even 2 weeks are not enough for me to share more then a first impression. Even more as I have limited time and internet currently and I did not personally test everything as deep as I wanted.
On 1/25/2023 at 12:16 AM, WindHunter said:Do you like the changes to cards and factions (PvE and PvP)? Why or why not? Where did we hit the mark, and implement something exciting you'd like to see more of? Where did you miss the mark and what should we avoid in the future?
Only T1 card I checked myself so far is Strikers. I still don't see any really use case beside to have a fun opener in the Thugs and Striker changes. Nothing that hurts, but nothing that gave me excitement.
In T3 I liked most the changes to Rageflame, did not test it yet, but I'm excited to do so. The Unity nerf is reasonable, though it hurts my currently most beloved deck. In one match against Fire I really struggled to keep my army alive, but to early to say that it came from this quite small change, perhaps just executed poorly by me.
Fire Sphere nerf really hurts, but tbh - it feels more balanced now. Sad, Fire was lately just behind bandits decks in terms of meta speedy decks and fell now a slight bit behind. But still fire is in the best state ever. Batariel buff makes up for the Sphere buff from my feeling, as you get a higher stage more consistently. The buff for the purple one was not needed, but feels good!
Forest Elder finally feels almost worth the 4th Nature Orb, great job! Mind Control got a ton better, every addressed issue was perfectly hit imo. Good inventory, good solution!Other T4 changes I really liked to read, but I did not test myself yet are Shadow Worm and Gemeye. But seen a Stonekin deck today where I was a bit disappointed. But we did learn with this patch, "Its the player, not the cards" - need to test this myself soon.
On 1/25/2023 at 12:16 AM, WindHunter said:Do you enjoy the new cards, are they balanced, etc.?
Raven Walker seems weaker as expected on the first glance, but only made 2 games with it so far. I feel also that I did not find the perfect deck for it so far. It feels a bit clunky to use it to perfect conditions, but that is a thing I want and need to explore further. My first fears that it sounds/looks a bit OP have not come true. If it is really viable in the current state, it seems that you need quite some micro and a good deck composition to make it working really good.
Sanctuary green feels way better then expected after the final changes and the 75% CC reduction are more viable as I would have guessed. Finally a good tool against Zappers and worthy enough to me to have some more use of the 4th nature orb. The reduction is enough to bring even a smaller army in position and deal clean with Twilight camps, works even in a 3-Zapper camp though it needs quite some micro. I like it!
Sanctuary blue feels a bit pointless to me. Where do I use that and why? Perhaps a cpve thingy I could imagine, but rpve just wants the green one.

Yes! All! None!
Jokes aside, I mean its achievements. Something you can do, nothing you must do. I mean I can complain fast, but see nothing to complain here. If someone thinks: Oh this is to tedious to me - just leave it aside. Or take it as extra motivation after all other things are done. If someone thinks that one is maybe too hard - leave it out for now. I guess for any of the new achievements you will find at least a handful of people who are grateful for that.
Really good job on this one. What brings us toOn 1/25/2023 at 12:16 AM, WindHunter said:Do you like the shift to cosmetic rewards instead of gameplay rewards like boosters and gold?
Hell yes! I feel a good mix of rewards as we have it currently should be a good way to make the majority of people happy. There is stuff for everyone, some achievements grant a ton of boosters (or can be converted to hard BFP), some give a promo (that are behind a challenge, but not too harsh so that everybody can get those with some investment of time and effort) and others just reward you with nice fluff.
This patch was a milestone for SR for sure, alongside the buffs/changes to the pure factions and reforging tool.
Fanboy over and out. 🙂
PS: Nah - one last thing. Big love for taking all the community feedback (where I was quite loud for sure) on the buffed Batariel issue. I had not played it for quite some time and this was really one of the first things I tested. I would not have expected from the numbers, but he is back! ❤️ I love that the deck is finally playable again, even if not in that old state, but good enough to carry a 10 like it should or to use at least 1-2 Batas in a speedrun again. Not as OP as it was, but really enjoyable if executed well. I really hope that we (the community) and you (the balancing team) can agree on the current state as a compromise.Tho I will still miss a beautiful 2-3 sec last row clear like seen sometimes if everything was executed really perfectly 🥺
EDIT PPS: Who is the genius behind the WBG promo. Damn I did not use WBG for quite a while, but this looks so awesome that I will play it once again in near future. What. A. Beauty.nukie, Metagross31 and WindHunter like this -
Please just see it as a long term goal. Not every achievement needs to be done by everyone (right now).
There are people with 15mil gold (not me) already and happy this is now at least worth a tiny bit

Do PvE enemies even have a power rating and if they do which units have a power rating of over 300p?
They have thanks to the skylords reborn team, and yes there are some units that you can't grab with Mindcontrol. For sure the LS-Necrofurys and I think the Bandit Lord too for example

Hey Solpher,
in general I would say that a deck for rpve should have any faction and boss in mind that can occur. So if not the motm is LS you will usually not see any adapted decks for that. And a common good deck can deal with all factions. But there's a "but":
When I played way more 10s in the year after start, it was a unwritten law tho, that in random groups any LS with flyers on T2 directly got skipped. The quality of 10 groups was way higher back then, and everybody knew that even trying made not much sense even if you have 4 top players around. At least as long as you are not a static premade group that sits in Discord. So if LS occured, one scouted and deleted the nomad if there where no flyers and left the game to indicate flyers.
When those maps got map of the month this was the time to practice that, as those maps are incredibly hard and so you could at least try over and over again. At least 2 times those maps where only beaten by 2 static groups (one three man'ed it because it was easier like that (early attacks)) and iirc one time there was a third static that build up for this purpose and beat that one too.
So LS with air units at T2 is a very special thing that should be looked at a very special view. There's not much (or no) content in SR that was beaten by less then a dozen people.
If you play normal LS without air units at T2 this is still a tough call sometimes, but way more doable. Sadly these days you have too much people organizing 10 groups that lack understanding of the game mode and you have too much unfitting decks to beat LS usually. What you want here is 4 fire starts if you are not in voice chat, if you do it with voice chat and an excellent group you can have one nature starter or shadow starter.
Against LS often one player gets attacked by default, if that happens, he pings first asap and then starts spamming units into the direction of the attacks. Even if he starts fire he usually just spams units at this point, the other 3 players erupt spawn camp(s) and Lost Dancers and clear up as much is needed to bail out the attacked player.
If 2 players get instant attacks you may be in the situation where you want to skip the map too.
If no one gets instant attacks, or the bailout was successful, LS maps are played usually after normal 10-scheme: Decide if you go one by one or if everybody goes on his own, the team approach is however easier and faster. Here it is even more important: Spawn your first unit behind your wells to not trigger any unwanted attacks. In both scenarios you perhaps want to save up a little more energy then against other factions. You pull rather with 3-4 mines then with 1-2 as usual. More often as against other factions you want to do both spawners in one engage, this is depending on how close the two T2 camps are.
As Dancers have this ultra long range it is often not a bad idea to care for outside position players first, as T3 waves are quite strong in LS and Dancers may else trigger unwanted attacks.
Because of that range issues from Dancers and Vigils Pos4 needs to scout even more carefully then against other factions as close-well situations occur even a bit more often.
Once all players are T2 the difficulty decreases to a more normal level. Though the T3 camps are quite crazy you have more and better tools now to handle this, but make sure if there is a double income on your T3 to be prepared for heavy attacks. LS post-T4 waves always have either a Beast (good for you) or a Treefiend and often a Vigil. Usually you want to take out T3 very fast in a single hard and short attack then.
If you have close camps at T4 you will usually often need again spell support of the whole group, else LS maps are not that big difference from that stage of the game beside the fact that you are usually running into time issues and have to go on very fast now. The post T4 is usually the same as on 9s - only a slight bit bigger and everything is a bit more stuffed then on a 9.
Banestones are more likely to appear (or even set?) be prepared for that, but players should be familiar with that from harder 9s already.
In general you see more diversity in 10s since the Bata rework, but on the same side you have to see that in 10s it got even harder not to run into time issues when you have a hard early like you have on most LS maps. The most common T4 options deck wise are Bloodhorns and Banzais. You see them most commonly as 🔴🟣🟣🟢, as 🔴🟣🟣🟣 and 🔴🟣🟣🔴.
This may not be what you see in the common 10 groups these days, but that is what you want to see and what you need if you want a halfway decent win-ratio.
If you have any replays where you have questions at, any certain situations in mind or any other questions feel free to put there here, via PM or reach out to me via Discord (Volin#8101) and I try to help as good as possible.cheers

Tho I completely agree with the TO, just to lower expectations: I personally would not expect this to be high on the list of priorities. Fire got some decent buffs and is by far in the best state it ever was. Would not be surprised if this changes will take some time.
Though looking forward too for some buffs there.

Hey,
bin akztuell im forum unterwegs und suche hilfe. gibts hier ein allround pve deck?
RPVE habe ich bereits mit befallen nomads etc. kann mir jemand helfen?
LG!!
Grüß dich,
ich muss dich allerdings darauf aufmerksam machen, das wir im Forum und Discord nur Englisch schreiben (oder zumindest eine Übersetzung hinzufügen), eine Frage der Höflichkeit (und Regeln). Falls dir dieses schwerfällt, ist es völlig in Ordnung einfach mit einem Übersetzer deines Vertrauens zu arbeiten, einen Blick wert ist https://www.deepl.com/translator
Zu deinem Anliegen: Es ist schwer ein Deck für alles zu finden, zumindest einige Karten zu tauschen - je nach Einsatzzweck - bietet sich je nach dem schon an. Die meisten Decklisten die du hier und auf dem Discord findest werden wohl für RPVE sein, aber es werden sich sicher auch einige für die Kampange finden. Gerade die ersten beiden Schwierigkeitsgrade kann man evtl. noch ganz ok mit einem Allround Deck angehen.
Auf Grund der zahllosen Möglichkeiten die es gibt, wäre es evtl. hilfreich zu wissen was dir Spaß macht oder in welche Richtung es gehen soll. Wenn du brandneu dabei bist, finde ich zum Beispiel diesen Thread hier sehr empfehlenswert:Ansonsten kann ich nur empfehlen einfach mal hier zu stöbern, evtl. auch mal in diesen Thread zu schauen:
Oder auf dem Discord vorbeizuschauen, wo es seit neuestem einen "Deckbuilding" Kanal gibt, wo du auch gezielte Fragen stellen kannst.
Greetings,
I must point out that we only write in English in the forum and Discord, a matter of politeness (and rules). If you find this difficult, it's perfectly fine to just work with a translator you trust, worth a look is https://www.deepl.com/translator.
About your request: It's hard to find a deck for everything, at least swapping some cards - depending on the purpose - is a good idea. Most decklists you will find here and on Discord will probably be for RPVE, but there will surely be some for combat as well. Especially the first two difficulty levels can be tackled with an allround deck.
Because of the countless possibilities it might be helpful to know what you like or in which direction it should go. If you're brand new to it, I highly recommend this thread for example:
[Click and drag to move].Otherwise I can only recommend to have a look here, maybe also at this thread:
[Click and drag to move]Or have a look at the Discord, where there is a new "Deckbuilding" channel, where you can ask specific questions.

Goes in the same direction for me.
Coat artwork is just suuuuper awesome, and also like how the card plays.
Banzai voice lines are super awesome too, damn what a cool voice.
Also the gameplay is a bit underwhelming and tho it is a bit anti-meta due to how the game works, I have much love for the Wasteland Terror too. Just love dragons!
Evil Eye goes boom, who does not like it?!
And ofc, Bandit Minefield, just the best card in the game! @Hirooo 😉 (can't tag you here, cause I don't know whats your forums name, but perhaps you see it by chance)
Yeah, the Reborn edition is already a masterpiece, great job guys and girls!!
EDIT-PS: Patch when? 😛ImaginaryNumb3r likes this -
Are you speaking of the silence debuff those Lost Dragons apply? Sounds a bit to me like that.
If so, the most general way to deal with it, is the yellow Incredible Mo abbility.
As you are a bandit player you can also hinder the Dragons with CC spells as Amok or Frenetic or Plague.
And Disenchant may help
