Great games rubberfist! Still need a bit of work on your end game. Not maximizing the points enough. Remember when the pool is down to 15 honor, you aren't likely to see some of the cards you pull. Just maximize honor by taking constructs, 1 point cards, and high end game honor cards like Dhartha's Retreat and Druids.
I hit my opponent with this once in a recent game. It may not be game-winning but well, it sure hurts.
Considering the release of Storm of Souls, will it be possible to customize the portal deck ? I would like to play with CotG, RotF & SoS and (if possible) the promo cards but imho there will be too many cards in the portal deck...
So you haven't received any notifications from Ascension? Have you received notifications from other apps? Send an email to '[email protected]' and we'll spend some time trying to figure this out with you. Unfortunately, Apple's push notification system doesn't guaranteed delivery. We can't make a direct connection to your device. We have to send the message to Apple and they take care of delivery. But if a connection can't be made right then (if your device is out of wifi and 3G range, for example), the message is lost. We get some feedback from the system if our data isn't formatted correctly when we send it to Apple, but we can't get any indication from their server if the notification was successfully delivered to your device. We spend some time looking at this every time we see a report that someone isn't receiving notifications, but when everything looks correct on our end, and the Apple documentation explicitly calls out that the delivery service isn't guaranteed, we can't make any promises that this is something that's within our control to correct.
Nope. Considering it's been 4 weeks since RotF came out, I'd say you're a little bit late to start asking about it. ;-)
We're still working on a solution for combining multiple sets together. Adding a portal deck editor, passing the necessary data around for network games, and displaying the deck list to any player who might want to join your game is a significant amount of work. We're implementing a set of promo cards now, and Storm of Souls will be right behind that, so we'll have some idea on where we're going with this pretty soon.
Reported Bugs Maybe you guys can help me out without a couple of bugs that I've only seen reported in our AppStore reviews. (It's pretty frustrating to see 1-star reviews based on a single "bug" that we haven't seen any other reports of). Have you ever been forced into a rematch by another player? The rematch system works just like inviting all players to a new game, and they should have to confirm the invite before the game can begin. Have you ever seen a rematch start without accepting the invite (or tapping the 'Rematch 1/2' button, which is a shortcut for accepting)? Has the construct tray ever become stuck so that you're unable to scroll to see all of your constructs? The previous bug related to the tray locking up when you banished a large number of constructs to Sea Tyrant was fixed with RotF release. Has anyone had any issues with the construct tray since then? Thanks.
I have not experienced either of those bugs. My construct tray works fine, but you do have to tap in just the right spot to expand it. When it is open, it might take me a sec to get my finger in the right spot to scroll through it. Maybe it's just a matter of impatience? I had 14 constructs in the tray a day or two ago, and the tray performed flawlessly. Just my 2 cents... Btw, UPS says Storm of Souls is being delivered today.
I haven't seen any of that, but something that has happened to me a number of times, but only on the iPad for some reason, is when I've got the Raven and I'm scrolling through my deck to pick a card, I end up accidentally dragging a card out and it selects it. I'm not sure this is really a bug, but I've just noticed that this has happened to me on the iPad only and so I have to be really careful when selecting a card on there. I don't need to be careful when selecting on the iPhone. Weird.
I also rarely ever get notifications and the I always get them for other titles like Carcassonne or Samurai. The only other game I have that sometimes doesn't notify me is Disc Drivin. It gets really annoying because I now make it a habit to load up the app just to check my online games whenever I get a chance because I never know if it is my turn or not. At least in Carcassonne, Samurai or some of the other many games I have I can just launch the app when I know it is my move.
Oh, yeah, sometimes I don't get notifications either. Or more correctly, I'll get them on one device, but not the other, and which gets them seems to change. Perhaps with which I used last, but I'm not sure about that. Also, any word on when we get Storm of Souls.
I receive notification sometimes.. I'd say 1 in 30 moves or even more. And in most times I don't get one single notification in few games. So it's like never. I don't have problems with other apps. Most times I play over wifi and when I'm away from wifi I'm on 3G. Also, I got notification just once when iphone was in standby (and never after that) and few times when I was playing another game. Just to be clear.. I am not whining or anything because I love this game and got used to it the way it is but it's a bit anoying when I forfeit 30min game because I didn't get notification at all.
Yes, I still experience once 2 days ago but I cannot remember if it were related to the banishment of constructs.
Just had an epic game against Camzy. We tied 91-91, with Camzy winning by virtue of going last. I went construct heavy, but Camzy pulled Avatar of the Fallen late in the game and then used Avatar to defeat Samael. Then on the final turn, Camzy used Sadranis to pull Avatar out of the void yet again. First time I had ever seen anyone pull that off. Great comeback win, Camzy! And this is yet another reason why Ascension, while it may be my favorite Iphone app, is dying for an in-game chat function. The only way for me to congratulate Camzy was to post a message on these forums.
Anyone has any idea how to make good use of the "Black Hole". It seems nice to get rid of those pointless stuff in the early stage, but afterwards, it seems nothing but a 4-point card...
Just curious if the single player is good at all? With my phone I can do the multiplayer however I enjoy my iPad more, just curious when I'm not in wifi if this is still fun?
i really want this game D: but only tcg's i actually got into were Pokemon and Dual Masters (Yu gi Oh up to some points but not that much) I tried Magic when i was a kid... but i didn't understand it and never had anyone to play with =/ So the term "Deck Builder" sounds like a strange word in a language I still haven't heard of xD Might anyone help me out with that? Also... $5? damn ._. highest I've payed is 3 and I don't really see myself paying more for anything else on iTunes....
Dre, I have never been attracted by cards games. I tried a few and dropped them fast (both real world and virtual). When I took ascension ... well, I got addicted (even too much). After it, I tried again other cards games ... still I do not like them. Ascension is the only one that attracts me. It is a card and board game somehow at the same time. Every game is different, often games are open till the last rounds (maybe not at first). It involves strategy and lot lot of tactics. And luck plays quite a role too. Games can be very fast and brutal, or very slow and brainy (depending on the opponent and how the cards come). The only game that I only removed once from my ipad because I was playing it too much! The only one I play daily. Well, Carcassonne too.
