Discussion: Expansion 29: Rune Preview 3

I don't think I okay with running a gunslinger rogue in a Barbarian deck.
Can we please get race Human for IS now?

Edit: Sorry for negativity. The Expansion looks Great.

 

Art hype

 

Edit: For those that havnt seen this scene...

 

That IS rune is op already lol.

 

For what it's worth, Gift:Emergency Kit is horrid on the Salaman. It's pure sandbag.

1: We want to deploy from the runedock - will this count as a deploy?
2: It takes up a slot that we can equip into - already that can be a problem.

Is that fixed as a design?

 

Love it, as always. Amazing art! Amazing work.

 

I cry, every time.

 

This is sexy... also, see my Salaman comment

 

Cool... If it deploys from the rune dock to trigger ingenuity, then not so bad.. it's a free equip slot.

Can you confirm if this is the case?

 

Looks great! Love the art, as usual (that's what keeps me coming back)! Some Centaurs going 1x1 will sure be a nice boost to the theme!

 

Holy Bane Shift that lonx looks stupidly efficient.

 

Not much seeing the point of that arroyo eye though. It has no way of self healing itself after replicating (as far as i can see)

 

Negatives: None! Then again, I don't think I've had a negative post after I got over my negativity about BurnPyro a long time ago. Negativity is just not worth it. Positive vs Negative is a choice. Everything here looks positive!

 

I think new abilities and reworking previous mechanics makes for a better expansion than adding new abilities and only reusing existing ones. Giving new abilities and reworking an existing mechanic makes a bit more sense since those new abilities/runes will get the most attention and are most likely to be changed. From there a kind of trickle down can be given to the older runes that have the original mechanic and updating it to the reworked ability is what keeps runes from losing their playtime among the new runes.

To an extent consolidating abilities works well but creating new mechanics is what moves the game along. I think Gift: X is the best example of how there should/will be a limit on how much an existing mechanic will be reused, otherwise Gift: Equipment will be less of a new ability released and more of "when is my equip going to get gift" which is more or less what I've been asking of Stonearm Sash.

 

That Lonx is hella sexy! HELLA SEXY!!

 

Well, Exo and Legend runes normally have an exclusive skill that make them special and loved/hated... So New Expansion = New Skills.

That Northen Cross Purger makes me want to start an IS deck. Amazing Art (and all know IS is OP)

 

How come all the other factions, in the 3 previews, are showing a champion but FW gets a split preview?

 

any reason why the eye is the only common up there? also someone asked, sorry to repeat it
