| Prism golem didn't get -2/-2. And can we get a replay feature please? Posted: 20 Aug 2020 11:49 AM PDT I just lost a game I supposed to win or at least survive few turns, due to this bug. My Behemoth should have blocked that golem with its 5/5 stats, but for some reasons it was 7/7. And can we get a replay feature for much more convenient bug reporting job please? I have experience so many variants of bugs since the lastest set, but I could report some only because I would have needed to provide many details like opponent decks, my decks, opponent hands and my hands, and boards, and void...etc at that moment, which I couldn't always capture or memorize it. So in some cases I didn't even bother to report bugs because it requires too much works and lacks of convenience. I only did some that I could take the screenshot in time and seemed simple enough to remember the detail. It would be a really big improvement if we ever get a replay feature. It does so many things: bug report easier, learn from our own games better, learn from other players....etc [link] [comments] | ||

| Some thoughts about changing Eternal Posted: 20 Aug 2020 11:36 AM PDT So a lot of people have been talking about how "game sucks" or to put it more politely, "how can the game attract and retain players". I've had some personal mullings over this, and I decided to write this giant essay that 50% of ppl would be too bored to read through, but for the 50% who stays I hope this spurs some more thoughts and debates about how to change the game. So first, let's talk personal background, so you can have a good sense of where I come from when saying this. I'm from an Asian country, one where TCG isn't really a thing, and my first exposure to card games like this came from Hearthstone. I don't play Hearthstone anymore since I didn't feel like I can keep up with it, and migrated to Eternal when I saw someone giving glowing reviews about the game being F2P friendly. I've been playing Eternal for a year and a half with some long periods of leave, and I've yet to pay a dime for any F2P game since I'm a student. I also play another grind-heavy game called Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (SWGOH) and know about some gacha games, so suffice to say I know what sort of madness F2P games become at some point. So now, what do I think is the major problem with Eternal's game model? To be damn honest, I don't think there is any, or at least one that can be solved easily. Look, as much as I hate to say it, I don't think there's not much of a space where competitive card games can stand on solid ground if they don't have some weird gimmicks or baggage coming with them. From the standpoint of someone who plays or know people who play F2P games, there is simply not much that Eternal can offer outside of "being a TCG". It doesn't have the clout of MtG, or the ubiquitousness of Hearthstone, and it's not a Slay the Spire with the heavy emphasis on single player, and it certainly doesn't have any intellectual property to tie itself to unlike Legends of Runeterra. There's certainly nothing wrong with being a TCG, but the unfortunate problem is that the game needs to be more than that somehow to draw in players, and that is really tough when the game has been established for around 5 years. I do think that a good place to start might be to advertise the game (seriously I have yet to see a single Youtuber making a mention about the game to an non-Eternal player audience), but even then I personally don't know how the game can have good player retention and earn good money. A thing that a lot of people say is that the game should be nicer to new players, giving them more rewards and having more help provided so that they are more likely to enjoy the game and stay for long periods of time. I don't really know about this to be honest, for 2 reasons.
This is not to say that I have no qualms about the game. One glaring issue for me is how the packs are horrendously imbalanced towards earning commons and uncommons at the expense of rares and legendaries (80 commons per 1 legendary on average sounds really wrong when you think about it), but those sorts of concerns can be left for another date in another 800+ word piece of rambling. I hope this piece has been of good mental stimulation at the very least, and I will try to answer counter arguments that come up though I don't use Reddit much to begin with. If you're really mad at me, you can yell obscenities at my personal discord account, though do be warned my name in the Eternal server is slightly different from here. P.S: the links I used do not explicitly support the point I made, but they are paraphrased versions of a point I used in the post, so I hope that helps. Anyways, good night, good luck.

| Posted: 20 Aug 2020 03:30 AM PDT I can't remember the last time there was a meta without a Fire faction being in T0 or T1. Fire is, by far, my least favorite faction (and it shows, I have like level 50 Fire vs level 75 Shadow, even Primal is higher for me). I get it, the balance of having some aggro representation so lengthy control decks don't take over. But you can do this with well-balanced mid-range design and not just shove in the ability for a deck to storm through in 3-5 turns, where if it makes it to turn 6 it loses. I find those games boring as hell, and when I play 3 of them in a row I'm just done for the week. With this new set coming out, can we please not have some ridiculously overpowered low-cost Fire card for once, and also have a meta without 3-5 turn overpiwered win conditions (talking about Reanimator and Ubsat here too)?
