Questions to SL Beta players

[darcsabre]

Just tell me a few things, we might make it a longer list, but I'm sure you can't get in trouble for saying these two things.

1. Do you think this expansion is good for SL?

2. Does this expansion make Sand our only option for competitive play?

3. Do we have any Op runes, if so, how many *and which* (you don't have to answer the last part)

4. How many new campaigns are there and do you think they are good?

5. How many new maps are there and do you think they are good?

Thats all for now. I have to know these things (and what Desperation is), and i don't think you can get in trouble for giving us your opinion on this stuff. You shouldn't get in trouble for releasing this information but I can double check with Hawk just in case.

Probably too early to make that judgement- lots of things still to be found. It's a fairly good expansion for everyone, if a little on the ridiculous side.

2. Does this expansion make Sand our only option for competitive play?
No.

3. Do we have any Op runes, if so, how many *and which* (you don't have to answer the last part)
I wouldn't say we got any, relevant to what the other factions got. But again, could be too early to say.

4. How many new campaigns are there and do you think they are good?
There are 3 new campaigns, I've only played one, but so far it's fun.

5. How many new maps are there and do you think they are good?
To my knowledge, there's only one new map. Haven't played on it much, but it's kind of like a less horribly unbalanced nora glades from what I can see.

Thats all for now. I have to know these things (and what Desperation is), and i don't think you can get in trouble for giving us your opinion on this stuff. You shouldn't get in trouble for releasing this information but I can double check with Hawk just in case.

Are any of the campaigns free?

From what I see, none in SL are any more powerful than Rune Walker. Like Ivaro said though, it's really too soon to tell.

[Schmacko]

I honestly think every single one of the new champions is good. Dune Walker is the only one I have yet to play test.

I think one absolutely broken combo (a FW/SP combo) has been found so far and the new titan runes are generating a lot of debate. I wouldn't say any of our runes are op, but Ivaro's right it's too early to tell.

Edit:
Obviously some factions came out better than others. I'd put SL somewhere in the middle. Overall I'm very happy with our new runes.

[Bleakheart]

Agreed that it is too early to really say, i don't like the idea of the titans though, i have a bad feeling most decks will now A : revolve around the new titans B : have to counter the new titans. They may be expensive, but they need little to no buffing from what i can see and all have very nice abilities, easily squishing the old heros like they were nothing. They are gunna be tough to pull down 1v1 with anything. Lets hope im wrong though and they turn out to really be nice units who roll over on command :)

I think we hav'nt come out quite as well as some of the other factions, as none of our runes seem obviously OP. the IS bard for example is just an amazingly OP skeezik drummer for around the same price, its things like that that will see some of our essential runes completley pissed on by other factions. the proxi mine looks good for zero nora but it depends on the cooldown.

Also my apologies for starting an almost dentical thread but i somehow missed this one when i made it :/

[Schmacko]

Here's something that will make people happy. Draksar's finally get a unit that synergizes with draksars, making the idea of a draksar heavy deck (that actually does something) more feasible.

Remember Conjure Ice Block and Ice Block?

Our Titan is ugly, Varu Dragon might disappoint some of you (I really expected something else), the Skeez is just sexy, Sunderpede is a funny little rune and Dune Walker... well... SAAAAND!

The Bard is actually a KF rune, and yeah that was the one that caught my attention as well. At first I laughed at the girly picture, then I read the stats and was floored. KF is getting some killer stuff this expansion, FS too.

I will say the Skeezik sounds interesting, even if we don't really need another melee one, I need to take a second look at everything though.

We need a melee one that can actually do damage... and is not General.

[CSchwarz]

...and is not sandbagged with Fester. Though Hunter: Dragonkin is pretty solid, though. D.Slayer just doesn't match up because Fester is HUGE (10 fscking nora!).

When I was looking at them I was thinking the same thing as you, jib, that we need solid effective/efficient melee skeez who could pin the center of our lines, especially for low-cost decks.

I personally very much like the vindy skeezes. They're pretty solid, 69 with 9 and 6 hp. Vindictive is just a big plus. I was looking at Peripheral and Vengeful but they just don't seem worth it. Skeezicks usually equal or outnumber, though a central melee unit might be surrounded.

IMo your titan is more epic than some..

SP Helm is like top 5 rune this expansion. Battlefiend in it's current form is too good. Your Titan kicks ass. Clay Form is like a swiss knife.

Seriously, SP has it good.
