    Servers being down make me think I've wasted my money on the tripler, wish I could at least play against the AI without having to be online.
    :mad:

    Will there be any chance of offline play at some point?

    Yes the FB thing is proving a pain, however I now have the posse working and it happened after I finished my first multiplayer game for some bizarre reason...
    Multiplayer itself went fine (I won,) though I'm not so sure the other player really knew what they were doing.

    Sorry about that, it was only down for a few minutes whilst we uprgaded our bandwidth. Nice timing!

    We do plan to have an offline mode added to a future update, but of course you won't be able to earn coins or buy cards whilst playing that way.

    It's a sign of the times that there is already a hack doing the rounds claiming to give infinite coins. It actually doesn't work in the slightest because your progress is stored on our server. Which is why it has to be stored on our server.

    Rubicon, i am enjoying your game and love that I can get it on PC and mobile.

    Question for the developers: When can we expect the update which allows trading cards between players and any insight in how that will work? Auction house like Diablo 3 or a 1 on 1 manual trade likes of Yu Gi Oh?

    I would love to be able to post my offer online for others to view, that way i can trade 24/7 without actually wasting time doing it myself.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Completing the campaign is proving difficult, I've had completed missions wasted now because of some internet connection failure or something... :( are the servers offline now?

    They were upgrading the servers. I agree that a warning would have been nice, but they are back up now, and werent down for long.

    Yeah obviously must have just been down when I tried lol,
    I'd been fine with just AI quick match for offline, so you could earn your coins and cards online but then use them offline.
    Or even preconstructed decks to choose from for AI quick matches offline would be cool. It's not the deck customising that I'm bothered about so much as just being able to quickly play.
    Either way it's still fun for now and I might have been a little hasty to say I've wasted my money, but it was annoying :rolleyes:
    Overall it's a brilliant game.

    Just started messing around with the deck editor, boug a couple of small chests and a new avatar,
    I'm still on the easy levels but I'm impressed with my new ork set up, I like the damage multiplier +1 for each friendly ork.
    Kept my deck simple with only orks and shield and weapon items with a couple of runes and it worked well.
    Here's a screen of my powered up orks. :D

    Tip for beating campaign solo on Hard, use Archers with lots of damage equipment and some healers then wait until you can aoe heal up then move in for the kill. U can also do same with warrior hero.

    I wouldn't change it because it should be difficult to collect all the cards. But grinding 75g at a time feels incredibly slow. Also, is there a way to sell these things back for gold?

    Can't promise a date because it's quite a bit of work followed by a shedload of testing. It's high on our agenda though.

    The most convenient way we've come up with is to allow a "classified ads" kinda deal where you sell and buy cards with coins. This way there's no negotiating which can intimidate some, no needing to type lots on a mobile keyboard, no need to find people online right this instant who want to trade, and best of all trades can go through whilst you're even offline.

    Nice replay. I've tried to play multiplayer tonight and had 4 people in a row all quit on either the first or second turn. :(
    Back to the single player (which is why I don't know why we must be online all the time since I'm not playing online?)

    I'm 4 for 4 on multiplayer, the first player had a 120 card deck, and a 15 hit point hero so I bum rushed him. The next 3 players were clearly new like me, and played like complete donuts. Multiplayer works fine for me.

    Much prefer Hello Hero over this. The designs and graphics in this are hideous.

    Can not get into this one, and this is someone who loves turn based card games like Shadow Era.

    Artwork is weak. UI (especially deck organization) is seriously clunky stuff. Pace is too slow. Takes too long to press and hold a card to read it, should be single tap to bring up the card, then click play or drag and drop to play the card.

    I tried first battle out of tutorial and it went on forever, heroes kill minions instantly and 20 turns went by without any real damage done to either hero.

    Great idea however, hopefully it can be polished up a bit, will check it out again later.

    Wanted to like it, but aside from cringing a little at the low-poly 3D aesthetic, I found the game tactically shallow. I wasn't able to execute anything more than a basic strategy due to the limited health of you and your opponents monsters. Perhaps I missed something, but it seemed to boil down down a simple tactic of ensuring your mojo production is high enough to replace losses faster than the opponent, a war of attrition. It also seemed (in the AI battles) that the opponent never started with any special spaces on their side of the field; a significant disadvantage for the AI, leaving to no other tactic but to focus on securing the special space near me, and again, outproduce the opponent. Is there more to this game?

    I'm sure the constantly connected to the wifi is killing my battery much faster than usual, I'm loving the game but can't play it all the time for that reason,
    Either give me a better battery or an offline game :D

    Just started medium and loving it, still running with an ork setup, getting a bunch of them spawned and kitted out with weapons and armour is great stuff.
    I've also got a backup zombie or two that I hold back gathering health when everyone dies.
    At first I thought the deck editing was going to be a pain as I haven't played yugioh or magic etc in years (only ascension and stuff that doesn't require building your own deck) but it's easy to understand and get into after a few games.
    Totally got that hook of playing to get another pack of cards from the chest.
    *****

    Edit: just noticed I can even continue playing my game on my iPod4G when I'm not on my iPad so that's a bonus, still earning coins towards my next booster pack :D

    Love the game it's very well made but I wish it wasn't online required all the time as I'm not always in wifi. Can't wait for trading too. Keep it up and hope for some changes and updates.
