First! In all seriousness, a good watch. Not as informative as I would like, but it kept my attention. New drinking game. 1 Shot evertime Senshu says "uhmm"
Hey, I was trying to give thoughtful answers without just reading from a script of prepared statements.
yea, you really stepped up. I asked the new players in my guild what they thought and it was very positive!
Stopped watching at "it won't be a fast process." Literally all I need to know was answered with that statement.
Kind of the same reaction - but still watching. Have it paused right now. I understand the community council being consulted for new rune choice and balance issues, but the maps being balance is pure mathematics. It shouldn't take more than a few days to figure out if either starting zone has a definite handicap when it comes to capping fonts and contesting middle/enemy fonts in the first stages of a game. After that's determined, how long would changing the coordinates of a font by 1 or 2 tiles take?
We just want to see if some unconventional ideas or if there are some factors that could be overlooked surface. If it is done right the first time then we hopefully won't have to revisit this issue again.
As a newer player: Game timer: I like it as is honestly. If it was any longer, matches would be WAY to long. Single player timer is perfect also! Time stamps in game chat: I love this idea. That would be awesome. As a person who does have some cash to play with, I feel options are limited. I know free to play is the goal perception but for players who are willing to drop cash, options are just to limited and by limited I mean broad. I would have paid for packs that were faction specific however the current pack options are to broad, hints I used many off site options to build my deck since I didnt want to have to buy every rune in the game when KF is all I care about. Time to crash, 2hrs of chatter wears me out lol. Thanks for posting this up @Moles1909!
Its info like this that the greens need to hear, obviously from their point of view it'd be much better for a new player to be spending money ON THE GAME rather than on the black market which does nothing to help fund Pox's growth. I'm sure @Senshu will take note of posts like this.
i agree completely with this......turn timer is fine....any longer and fw games will go from 1 hour of omg could this be any longer to 2 hours of geezuz im gonna resign cause i dont even have time to finish this game. i think the timer is fine. im sorry to those that cant complete turns in the alotted time. work on not being so slow. i was slow once too but i learned about hotkeys. it helps. also the time stamps idea is pretty cool. i dig it.
Mebe next time a script of prepared thoughtful answers? It's good to know that you take in all of the good ideas some of the people here have though. Now just to outsource 90% of your programming
