Gotta agree with Managarmr. Of all the games we've mentioned so far, nothing even comes close to the grindy joke that is "competitive" World of Warcraft. You could spend 5000 hours and probably still not have all the best stuff, because attaining so much of it is just luck based. Hearing the horror stories of people who had run the same dungeon over and over hundreds of times just to find a specific piece of gear, only to have a greedy idiot whose class couldn't even equip the item "Need it", preventing the player who had spent months of raiding from finally attaining it.
Yep, that's WoW for you. At least in the Korean MMOs you can just pay for better gear.
Anyway, all this talk of Hearthstone and watching some of the tournaments lately gave me the craving to play it. So I decided to scratch that itch with Duelyst instead.
I haven't been disappointed. I haven't played it in about 6 months, and coming back, I can already see a LOT of things have changed. They've done some major balance overhauls both with individual cards and core game mechanics which they deemed unsatisfactory.
They've also added some new mechanics which, I must say, are REALLLY f*cking cool, like the new hero powers, plus a second hero for each race. Apparently within the next few weeks they're adding an expansion called "The 7 Sisters" which adds a 3rd female hero character with its own ability to each class. I'm really excited. I don't think it's going to be like HS expansions that you pay for, most likely everyone will be receiving the new heroes for free. Here they are:
Well anyway, Duelyst is an amazing game. They're still working out some balance kinks but overall I still love the no-nonsense style in which luck plays such a minor part as compared to other games like HS that are fun but absolutely ruined by luck.
Wingflier, I started playing Duelyst now too. May you give me your player name so I can add you?
It's Wingflier, go ahead.
