Aloyzo's Arsenal Official SUBMISSION Discussion Thread

You could probably just go for two strong bludgeons when it is minor token already. I fear theres a bit too much ranged in the package. Especially double roots sticks out. Maybe a destructive purge?

 

I agree there may be too much ranged. There aren't quite the cards yet for a fun priest as ranged shooters (with savage curse or unholy wellspring). I thought going with that relatively weak bludgeon would keep the card from being too useful ... should be a penalty for that much ranged or it would affect the meta-game too much making it unlikely to be chosen or even considered.

 

I think Auto block and Counterspell are a perfect match, i would love to see it on a shield though, rather then on an arcane item. I mean we already got a so la la helmet with C-Spell...

 

Yeah I realized that immediately upon posting it and just changed Auto Block to Laser Beacon. It fits the flavor less, but such is life.

EDIT: I wonder what would be more egregious, Counterspell on a shield or Auto Block on an arcane item? Eh, screw it, I'll play it safe and go with the Laser Beacon for now. Auto Block Counterspell combo can wait for a future AA.

 

Counterspell on a shield is probably less egregious.

 

Yeah, figured as much, lest wizards start blocking for days on end. Shame too, I wanted another magic-ish card in there to round out the high-tech gadget theme, which would be out of place on a shield. Ah well.

 

Planar Travel IS in a deck of one of the characters that you control in Greenfang's Challenge, though, so it IS a thing already coded into the game. It's viable, plus it'd be lower-leveled than most things out there that have Teleport Self.

 

Is that the irony font? No. I am confused. What do you want to convey with the use of bold tahoma that words fail to do?
You got me curious about the greenfang challenge though, any way to play/load it besides starting a new game?

 

Doubtful.

 

@Robauke: I hate Tahoma. If Arial Black font was a thing, I'd be using that, instead. I'll settle for the next best thing, though; bolded Arial.

Oh, and, to my knowledge, Greenfang's challenge is a one-and-done deal, though, technically, it's Level 18-22 according to it's front page, so, I'd LIKE to think that we'll see it in the next main Campaign update. Fingers crossed.

 

I think that would be pretty cool in a "look how far you've come" sense - a three-part mission in which at the end you absolutely crushed greenfang would be neat. That said, it would be tricky to make it fun and challenging - the tutorial mission is really easy, even with a very sub-optimal party (for good reason). Maybe Melvin refuses to run it with a higher level party for balance reasons or something?

"Wrong! Playing this module at the listed level is something only a total noob would do, Gary. If you really want to challenge [playername], you need to drop it down to [lower level]."

 

Going full circle, eh? Would be a nice touch.

 

Any feedback on my shield? I was thinking of using Reflecting Block or Reflect Missile rather than Laser Block. Is Laser Block a better choice?

 

I would like to see reflect missile on more items. The true issue here is the dropped guard though. There is a similar shield with 2x shield block i think, and the consensus is its unplayable.

 

Probably, something with fumble is a little better...

 

or "Obvious Maneuver" , it balances the surprise effect

 

any comment on my submission ?
It looks balanced to me. Powerfull but :
- Laser cards carry there own drawback , especially when used 'en masse"
- Warriors cannot self heal and need to be close to opponents, so "loner" is a real drawback and not just a cycling trait

the reference to Star Wars and the Sith is pretty obvious, hoping the devs kinda like that easter egg

 

Maybe they don't wanna use the world lightsaber 'cause of copyright.

 

call it a "Darkforce Laser Sword" then

 

It was the best drawback to go along with the theme: you wear flashy, gaudy clothes to be around people, but usually end up being alone.
My stuff never gets picked or is even close to being picked, so I doubt anyone needs to worry here.

Thanks for the thoughts, however.
