Aloyzo's Arsenal Discussion Thread

Excuses, excuses. IMHO holiday store should be open ONLY during december. Perhaps they should change the word holiday to winter

 

Get who this item is ...

 

I think perhaps we should be rewarded for our patient wait with several AA items, an MM plus MM supplement, and player made pvp maps. Unless of course those things make the wait even longer...

 

I need one of these:

 

flax actually gave it a range nerf so that our accelerate time won't do anything to him

whew

AA & MM are ready and we'll hopefully be putting out a test build in the next couple days.

Gonna open AA 18 as soon as possible!

 

Aaand AA 18 is open: http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/aloyzos-arsenal-18-return-of-return-of-the-rejects.10721/

 

Whoa! This must be the first time that the winning AA item is a must have and completely replaces the already existing items in the same category. (e.g. Supercooled Laser)

 

Whoo, new AA at last! Frozen Month ended up being deceptively long, perhaps it should have been called Frozen Season instead.

Congrats to @Fry_The_Guy for winning! I'm a fan of Supercooled Laser and ran two as part of a build once so this item is everything I've ever wanted. More damage, more focused and more style, maybe it's time to take out the Frosty items once more. It's definitely one of my favourite AA winners so far.

And congrats as well to @Flaxative and @CT5 on getting Laboratory Mayhem funded!

 

Congrats, @Fry_The_Guy! Really interesting item, seems to trump Supercooled Laser, like j3st3ri said and the only item for stacking Cold Snap.

edit:

Amethyst Crystal Shard
Emerald Crystal Shard
Jade (f.lux playing tricks) more like Aquamarine / Topaz Crystal Shard aka Instant Snowman

 

And I even remembered to manually set it to Epic to get around our equipment evaluation bug that seems to keep getting these 2x rare + 4-of-a-kind items...

 

I'd like to report a bug in the forum: I can only Like your post once instead of, y'know, fifty times, clearly the way the forum should work.

 

How hard would it be to fix that bug? Seems pretty simple to me. With good architecture it definitely would be easy.

 

I'm wondering about the possibility of submitting one of @Harvet s previously submitted items. Said person hasn't been around for almost a year. I cannot contact them via a message. The reason for doing this resubmission is to justify inclusion of a monster only card that I think would help balance the current meta. Let me know if I should go in a different direction.

 

I'm sure it's not a question of difficulty, but rather a question of Jon's priorities. And I'd say this is incredibly low priority since I can just type the word "Epic" into an Excel document...

You could ask that user? PM?

 

Dont think he can contact him, thats the issue.
IMO if you submit one of his items it shouldnt be an issue, if in the off chance that he comes back this month he can ask you to change your submission to something else.

 

Has Flax EVER chosen an item with monster only cards outside the Trick or Treat AA's? Do you really want to lower your chances of winning by posting an item with questionable cards?

 

@tolkien
I officially grant permission for anyone to resubmit any of my past and future entries in AA contests. I still want to see any of them in game.

 

I did not check the forum for a few days and came back to a pleasant surprise! I am excited for instant snowman, it definitely belongs in the top tier of staffs, and will almost certainly see a lot of competitive use. Cold Snap has much more counter-play than frost bolt, so hopefully it does not feel too bad to play against.

Couldnt find better cards which would express how amazing Flaxative is.
Now if I could just win every AA from now on, that'd be greaaat....
