If you had the chance to bring back the old poxnora, the days of octopi, would you do it? I'm not talking about balance issues and such, I mean the gameplay, the style it used to be in. Here's a photo Champions used to have bases, defense was a little harder to calculate, and the speed was odd because it showed maximum instead of the amount you gain per turn. But if we were to use the current style and implement it into the old Poxnora, with the current visuals and all, would you do it?
<3 bases edit: Firking @darklord48 I lagged... I mean my internet is bad. And I had this thing so I couldn't post cause my enter key got stuck. The world turned the other way and slowed down my answer.... something
id rather pox be where it SHOULD have been after years of development that wasnt guided by going after the quick buck.
Them nostalgia glasses. Bases are obviously missed. 20 vs 30 is meh, I like more options. 20 decks would just force you to streamline the Bane Shift out of your bg, resulting in even less diversity. ATK/DEF, while I'll always have fond memories of it, is not really missed. Calculations were a nightmare of guesswork which would only be amplified by all the new modifiers we racked up over the years. But yeah, you haven't lived if you didn't tank all day with a 60+ DEF FiF'd Drak Lord while spamming Sandstorm on everything. We didn't have Strike and were fine with it.
Speaking of, anyone remembers the numbers? I know Sandstorm was a straight up -8 Atk but I'm super hazy on FiF. Was it always BM or a stat boost?
Actually, it'd result in more diversity. If you currently have 30 runes in your bg, you're going to have to pick 20 out of 30 of those runes, and different players are going to have different choices. Also, when I said implement the current pox into the old, I meant the stats. Place the current stat system with the old poxnora, how do you think it'd pan out?
eh I'd say it would have less diversity because staple runes will still be staples, and they will take up more percentage of the deck if the deck was smaller
