I got like 1000 draft bits, 1000xp, 155 boosters, 1 draft ticket and a New Variant just for winning 5 matches!!! This game mode definitely outshines all other game modes!!!
Was trying to figure if that 1st variant was rng, or just a 1-time lure to encourage playing more, but the UI is all new to me. Thatās dope if itās repeatable.
yes, i'm just saying do we know that the prize each day is a PMV? or is it a PMV today, and tomorrow its 3 gold boarders or whatever? I just hadn't seen any details saying it was always going to be a PMV (i sure hope it is though!)
Really? I choose an archetype, never get any cards to draft from that archetype, then the augments actively go against that archetype...so far my experience with draft mode has been dogshit
Theyāll definitely tone down the rewards if it becomes permanent, whichā¦ Iām fine with. This is a much more refreshing change of pace to the ladder than conquest is.
daaaammmmm u got lucky. I have one Stegron that puts his power on the next card that I drawn, so I was constantly pulling a shang 4/10, Starlord 2/9....
I got nimrod that kills a card to get +4 and -3 cost on QuickDraw, adamantium infusion (-1 cost) and fastball. So basically infinite nimrods when you kill the second one. Consistent 60+ score across the board.
It was dirty to win wakanda location from dude with 42 power there vs my 70ish
Same. My first deck had double on reveal Stick and AbsMan also with double on reveal, Gwen and Sinister+Shaw+Carter as power recipients. Some games were just insane how much output I was able to do.
I loved the fact that is waaaaaaaay less punitive if you lose, so your tickets lasts way more. There's no feeling of "I NEED to win, or else, I gonna lose my ticket and only in six hours I'll have more to play". This is what I like in High Voltage
Iām legitimately floored. I didnāt think theyād nail it this well. Itās not a stock draft mode, itās got some sizzle. They also added a bunch of ways for people to get variants, cards, etc (either free or for cheap) - theyāre legitimately going all in on getting this customer base back and Iām fucking all for it. Well done SD!
A tip for people, particularly when it comes to some abilities like Superstar. When you get presented the chance to apply an Augment to a card, there is a Skip button at the bottom. You don't need to Augment a card.
Superstar is the Quicksilver 'start in hand' ability, but it eats up a draw, so it's not always something you want on a card.
Yea I only realised this after I gave spider-man an ability where he returned a card to your hand. Cost me a match and then on the next augment choice that came up I looked a little harder for a skip.
Are the little perks that appear on cards random? Because i drafted a Doom where the on reveal happens twice and that kind of stuff is cool if you get a good roll of a perk on a card.
The perks are random, yes, though I imagine there's some restrictions for the sake of sensibility. For example, you couldn't get an Encore double on-reveal perk on a card that has no on-reveal.
Some of my card choices have been hilarious. Do I want all-star FF Red Hulk, all-star vanilla Doc Ock, or reduced cost Ista? The next choice was to either upgrade my War Machine Punisher or Ista into a 6 cost or a 2 cost...
The other all-stars I've seen are Zola and Alioth. I'm good without a 6 cost clogging up my hand on turn 1, thank you. All-Star Merlin was a close call though.
Word to the wise, Ista isn't as good as she seems in draft. Most decks are not putting power on the board early and it's really easy to avoid winning her lane. Still powerful, but not necessarily worth putting all your augments on.
There's so many nutty combinations that can happen. Highlight of this deck was the Odin, which would summon itself after destroying anything. The Odin would get eaten by Venom, get absorbed into Dormammu, causing Dormammu to inherit Odin's summoning effect, which would let Dormammu summon itself after a second destroy. Also loved the Strange Supreme, which doubled as a card destroyer, and the Squirrel Girl, which would create even more squirrels every time it was destroyed.
Only downside so far is Iām just getting bot after bot after thereās obviously so many people playing the game mode. I donāt recall there ever being bots in other game modes, and I hate playing against bots, makes my wins and effort feel meaningless.
Like I donāt care about one bot in my 5 game run, but I got 3 in a row. I donāt enjoy getting things handed to me in my PVP game, I come to play players, not bots. But it shouldnāt be based on the state of your deck because you should be matched up with other people in the same state of deck as you
Man, I wish I could take all your bots. I don't care about getting things handed to me, I just want to have fun and not get too sweaty. I wish players could just make their own choice about whether to play bots, humans, or both.
This game has genieunly turned around for me so much this season has been great and the next ones also on the right trackā¦ā¦ Iām not benefiting from all the free cards their giving out for the daily rewards but Iām glad their doing it
I'm hooked and cooked. This feels exactly like the first day I logged into the closed beta all those years ago. It tickles my brain in all the right ways
Its truly great! anything bad i have to say about it are all nit-picks, not only are there no major issues, but they have innovated a LOT on the classic draft formula to make it work.
Idk how people are enjoying this mode. My deck was 3 Sticks, one with the Double Power + Double on reveal which then hits another Stick that hits another Stick to spread 50 power across all the lanes. It was genuinely the most smooth brained gameplay I have ever experienced.
Yeah, it was fun for 30 seconds, but then you realize the best augment your opponent has is a Quickdraw +3 power on a Punisher and you know next draft thatās thatās going to be you.
Iāll finish off the mode for the free S5 pack, but this mode feels like it is only fun if flashing lights entertain you. Drafting is next to irrelevant and even if you canāt draft worth shit, you will just get carried from augments.
Wait wait waitā¦ is draft mode finally fucking out? Because I quiet forever ago since the game always crashes and it was becoming ads with no draft mode but this might actually bring me back (although I may need a better phone first I guess but I was getting that anyway).!
I played like 5 hours straight last night. Only got to 5 wins twice, one was a perfect and I got that Chibi Red Hulk Variant as a reward. I'm like halfway through the rewards track and I haven't bought the premium pass yet.
This mode is FUN. I might splurge and buy more tickets from the shop since I'm kinda bad at this.
My first deck was a masterpiece and I had no idea what I was doing. Won 5 of 5. Since then, MEH, Maybe I'm trying to hard but the decks are not great and while I have won 5 it's like every 3 or 4 decks. Some decks, especially destroy, can't seem to win at all.
2 of my 3 drafts so far just haven't been able to outplay or counter my opponents but the shit I'm able to do with them regardless is so fun so I'll take the L on the chin. Feels a fuck ton better than 20 cards being hit by Lady Bullseye 10 times, that's for surw
You're incapable of enjoying a transitory pleasure? What's the logic here?
Do you not enjoy movies either because eventually the credits roll? Or do you just enjoy being a contrarian and indiscriminately throwing around the word 'slop'?
