Game really does look really elite. Very excited.

You had me at draft

Just wait until it is mentioned on Penny Arcade and blows through the rest of the kickstarter in a day. Hope they have some awesome stretch goals.

EDIT: Btw if anyone didn't watch to the end of the kickstarter video here is the phone number of the CEO of Cryptozoic if anyone wants to call him and talk to him about the game: 949-245-9756

Really wish I hadn't noticed this thread. Gonna have to activate the willpower now.

Activate the money hating imo.

Just do it RT. We are probably up to $2k collectively in this thread already.

So today Penny Arcades comic and post is about Hex. 80% chance the kickstarters goal is met in the next 24 hours.



And yes it is 3:45 am and I am up because 45 minutes ago I briefly woke up and thought about hex and then spent the next 45 mins thinking about it instead of sleeping.

Strongly considering getting Grand King.

I've never been a big TCG player, but I've been wanting to try to get into one.


Sanity check: I'm figuring if I end up not liking the game, there is a good chance I'll be able to get a significant amount of the $500 back selling the account/items. (or maybe more?) depending on the overall success of the game.

I'm thinking about the grand king level - however, I disagree with the earlier statement that it's $1370 worth of value (not sure where FX got that valuation - guess the 5 levels + king). Looking at this it just doesn't impress me a ton to splurge the more I look at it.

4 starter decks - 40 bucks (do these actually have any value?)
150 packs - 300 bucks
Collector Alt Art/King card + more future cards - ehh who knows not much is my guess
Raid Leader - PVE card, +1 opening hand - sort of the same
Pro Player - 7 bucks/week
Dungeon Crawler - 100% loot, 20 equipment - again with the amount of packs, not sure it's very valuable.
Guild Master - 90 packs - 180 bucks
+ Deck Sleeves.

So I see $520 + 7/week in easily quantifiable values. However, even that is probably a little kind based on MTGO values.
Other stuff I don't think anyone can put a value on easily, but

10% Exp isn't amazing since it doesn't stack.
100% Loot no clue, but most games gold at least is a joke.
+1 opening hand PVE, whatever
20 equipment - probably some value, but would guess more than a few bucks (50ish)
Extra Cards/Sleeves - See above (similar feelings)

You don't get equipment in packs. Booster packs only contain PVP cards. PVE cards are earned through playing PVE. 100% extra loot is both gold and cards (regular PVE cards and equipment).

Value of Grand King is $770 (5x $250 packs minus the $120 Kings in each pack + 1x $120 Kings) plus ~$7/week for life plus whatever you can trade the 6 Alt Art cards/year for if you don't want them. Now of course if some of the items in it don't interest you could value it differently.

Over 50% in less than 48 hours.

So it turns out that he's receiving quite a number of calls and voicemails. I'll attempt to get in touch with him from time to time. Let me know if you guys want me to try to ask him anything.

Heh what were you calling him about? I have this afternoon off so I was thinking of giving it a try.

EDIT: We are famous. I PMed a Cryptozoic member on the forums, basically saying how awesome the game looked and how excited we are for it, as well as linked him this thread, got this reply back:

That's awesome from them. I have a couple questions / ideas about ladder formats and / or viewable tourneys, and about being able to watch replays of games you played AND that others played. Exponentially improves the level of play and the competitive nature of ladders, etc. It also seems like the TCG format makes "broadcasting" tourneys potentially easy without having to use twitch or something like it.

Also obv gonna hock my LAWYERIN' SKILLZ.

Asked and answered. Basic answer at this point but its nice to see them thinking of it and being able to watch replays of your own games and tournament games would be awesome.

Replays tho

God so sick, I'm so tilted we have to wait now, I literally want to stop playing poker for a month and sink all of my time into this. Yes Cryptozoic not only did you get my $500 but you'll cost me tens of thousands of dollars and i'll enjoy ever _!@$(ing minute of it. Let's gooooooooooo <3<3<3

Yeah I'm pretty fired up, kinda wanting to play something else to get sharper at TCGs.

I was just adding up the tiers that were included.

But anyways, I think I'm in. You guys have me sold. I went with the Captain Tier at $50. Seems comfortable enough to me that I don't think I'll regret it. I'll back anyone who takes the time to listen to the community to make their game better.

I have a feeling I'm going to end up spending some time on Kickstarter funding other projects just based on their awards.

does Camelot Unchained have a release date yet?

edit: nm just listened to the video where he mentions 2 years, so not soon :-p

Video going into the MMo portion of the game:

Update #2 is up

edit: beat me to it

From kickstarter update:

Interesting.

Care to ask him for definate answer what this means for wow tcg's future since they are now stepping on blizzard's shoes.

I would assume they are just going to continue developing it since they will have a multiyear licensing contract.

They are taking suggestions for stretch goals in this thread: http://forums.cryptozoic.com/showthread.php?t=23116
