moar wild speculation

Bullet damage. Firearms are coming to Card Hunter. Prepare for some tactical wargaming goodness with degrading cover, opportunity fire and reloading times.

Emotional damage. Taunts, slights and mudslinging now fray nerves until they *SNAP*.

Reputation damage. Fight like a ninny and don't get any XP and experience higher shop prices and raised monster levels in adventures.

Morale damage. Take enough of it and run to a map corner to sob.

 

I can't wait for emotional crits

 

Street cred damage, it gon' be a gangsta expansion.

 

Still waiting for Sonic the Hedgehog class so Adapted to Sonic is more useful.

 

Equipment damage! You'll now have to start repairing your items after battles to make sure they don't break. Broken items downgrade their cards!
Blocks all become UnBlock, attacks all become Weak Strike, Armor cards become Rusted, your boots only get Shuffle, etc. This is why "a Helmet for every slot" will be important!

 

Spoiler: Top Secret Sneak Preview

 

According to Rudolpho Emulio, Jon has been busy implementing new cards.

Flax leaked some new card names?

edit: More stuff, it seems priests get electrical card (attack?):

There will be an official announcement by August 14th!

(This is me speculating wildly)

 

And the announcement will be "Heres a XY preview, btw its released tomorrow!"

 

"Vanguard" and "Fleet" are terms that have something to do with the military. Priests getting Electrical card(s) and the concept of "Antimagic Skin" makes me wonder if this upcoming expansion will be along the lines of "military forces take over Cardhuntria" or "armed conflict arises". Also, something's telling me we're getting new cards and items in the Skill slots

 

Is that something 'hope'?

Pretty sure that after a certain amount of time has passed, every game is legally required to release either a pirates or zombies expansion. 'Fleet' suggests CH is going with pirates

 

Does anyone have any idea of when about this new expansion will air?

 

I doubt I can give you an air date this month, but I'm pretty sure that we'll start playtesting content (maybe limited/private) later this month, so that's exciting right?

 

give us moar

 

Acid Jet confirmed!

@Flaxative[mod] says: nice! how many acid jets is too many acid jets? i'm asking because reasons.
@CT5 says: lolwut
CT5 says: uh
CT5 says: i dunno
CT5 says: 20?
Flaxative[mod] says: ok cool
@GameKnut says: You can't have too many acid jets.
Flaxative makes a new staff with 20 acid jets for the new expansion
BTwelve says: too many is one more than you need
BTwelve says: I'd rather have too many acid pets
@Potato Priest says: you can have too many acid jets if they take up room that would otherwise go to acid sprays
BTwelve says: a staff of acid pets that runs to the door to lick you when you come home
@Pyrious says: More acid jets please
Pawndawan[mod] says: Flax: can I quote you on that acid jet staff on speculation thread?
Flaxative[mod] says: yes
Flaxative[mod] says: and in case anyone gets mad because the spoiler is so obviously a joke, i can confirm new staff/staves with acid jet (maybe fewer than 20 per)
Pyrious says: Woah woah wait
Pyrious says: I thought this was the helmet expansion
Pyrious says: Acid jet helmet?!?!
Flaxative[mod] says:
Flaxative[mod] says: "Staff of Jetinous Helms"
Pyrious says: Yes please, sign me up
GameKnut says: Will we get acid jetpacks?
Flaxative[mod] says: "Acid Hat on a Stick"

 

Obviously he won't make a staff with 20 acid jets because you can only include 10 cards on items.

 

What if each card creates two acid jets?

BOOM.

 

Each card actually creates two copies of the new card, "Acid Jet!", which is identical to Acid Jet except it has Mandatory Action and Cantrip.

 

Finally, Card Hunter the way it was supposed to be played.
