What kind of classes or monsters would you like to see?

Another thing to be concerned with is decking out. I would hope that when out of cards to draw, your discard is shuffled and becomes your deck. Would be interesting if you lost a turn to "catch your breath/stunned" when the deck has to be reshuffled. Impedes players from making super draw combos, and gives an incentive to make discard decks. Would allow for cross class synergy if rogues or berserkers get a damage bonus against "stunned" enemies too.

 

It would be really great that you don't have too much cards in deck, that way you can get card, you want to play. Regardless "The penalty".

 

You discard down to two, so it's unlikely you'll be stuck with a bunch of useless cards. We haven't seen the deck mechanics at all, so I have no idea how many cards you get per turn or if there's ways of manipulating your graveyard / library etc., to use M:tG terms.

 

Manipulating the deck and discard pile, I imagine, will occur through traditional means (e.g., an effect that says "look through your deck and choose a card"). There are only so many ways a card game player can physically interact with cards; if this game doesn't let you touch the deck and discard through special effects, it would be beneath player expectations. But what's cool about a computer version is you can have more ways of interaction than usual: not just "you choose a card," but "the computer selects (e.g.) ten attack cards and you may choose one." It's faster when a computer does it, and it feels less like a ripoff if you don't see all the other cards you would have to pass by.

(Also, "cards per turn"? That's over here.)

 

I would like to be able to fight...

A GAZEBO!

 

Yeah, yeah, and once you're warmed up you'll take on a topiary/davenport tag-team.

 

I can see it now "Gazebo may only be dealt damage from one source. Gazebos damage may not be redirected or reduced."

 

"You take a mighty blow to the Gazebos. One round stunned and movement is reduced to Hobble"

 

Gazebo are cool and strong, but I'll like to see strong flavored monsters as entire bands made of goblinoids, orcs, undead and so on. With some nice twist.

 

I know I'm posting this rather late in the discussion, and that gives me the benefit of having had a look through all the dev diaries, but I think the concept of "Advanced" classes is unnecessary. Specialized classes can be defined by what weapons the arch-type has equipped, and thus what cards they have access to.
You want a Summoner/Necromancer (not actually implemented, but fingers crossed, eh?) you just need to give your wizard every single piece of equipment that has a summon card associated with it. Want a Hexer/Despoiler instead? Give them all the gear with the negative attachment cards.
The only additional classes I'd like to see implemented are the ones that bring to the table equipment the other classes don't have access to (I'm not sure if bows/crossbows and the like are in. A Ranger would be a good example here if they aren't, but a moot point if they are) or the ones that have different combinations of slots for equipment. (I'm reasonably certain that came up in a diary, I wasn't clever enough to think of it myself)

As for Monsters....Mimics.
Mimics everywhere. I love to hate Mimics.
A very old (Or was it very recent? I'm a little hazy) D&D Module had you fight a Greater Mimic (In the form of an adorable little girl) inside her murder house, where every item strewn about the room turned out to be a lesser mimic.
Candelabra? Mimic.
Hat-stand? Mimic.
Bookshelf? Mimic...filled with smaller Mimics.
I also think forcing the player to fight enemies that are copies of themselves might reveal strengths/flaws in their decks that they might otherwise not have been aware of.


A Gelatinous Cube would also be a sight to see.
Can't beat a monster where the designer basically looked at a box of jelly and went "Y'know what? I can make that work.".

 

And have a warrior be able to attack monsters with his brain? http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19908246/Best_lines_ever?pg=193 (See post by speeblefreak).

 

Why are majority of suggestions centred around old D&D archetypes of humanoid bipedal heroes that operate on land? It's a fantasy world!

Where are the glider lizardmen, hawk people, six limbed mermaids, undead krakens and psychic mantis broods etc? Let your imagination run wild and it could open up a whole set of dungeon tile set based on water and aerial environments with associated penalties/bonuses. I know humans are more comfortable playing with characters with human characteristics but the whole dwarf/elf/orc thing is getting a bit stale.

 

I would want to play as a sapient quadruped possessed of simple telekinetic instrumentality in place of hands or arms. Let me play as a unicorn! Natural split class magic-user/fighter (horn), fairly straightforward, but unique! Saddlebags for loot, assorted tack in place of armor, and magic rings go round the horn. It would be trivial to adapt, yet no other game would have a playable creature of this type as a hero. It would be potentially defining.

And it would make me very, very happy. Consider it, please.

 

I . . . see.
