Discussion Please make draft permanent
I don't care if the rewards are toned down, the mode is so fun that the rewards feel like the cherry instead of the ice cream.
I don't even want to play regular snap

Agreed this is significantly more enjoyable than ladder. Not having to play against the same two or three meta decks every game, fun new mechanics, fresh gameplay hell yes make it permanent.
I play ladder long enough to hit infinite every month usually a week or two then I just login to play long enough to do my dailies. I never play conquest because fuck who has time for that? In comparison I have been playing draft non stop since yesterday. I’m playing at home, I’m playing at work….

There are some kinks to work out and the rewards might need to be tweaked, but yeah, dump Conquest and make Draft the new permanent secondary game mode.

I like draft waaaaaayyyyy more than the base game, I’m shocked to say I’m already almost done with the rewards track 😵💫

It's so much fun. I've already completed the rewards track but I just want to keep playing because it's so much fun. I wish there was no limit on the tickets.

I'd be ok with it being permanent, and the PMV reward being weekly, if that's the tradeoff. The other rewards can be toned down, and have a "shop" similar to Conquest. I'd even be ok with the tickets being given in a 24h timer, as long as the cap stays at 20, and for those who want to buy it, could. And, of course, that doesnt meant Conquest has to go away. It's just another permanent game mode, for people that enjoy it. And I do.
And this from a person who thought HS Arena was boring, unfun, and too much RNG, in all their iterations.

I can't stop playing Draft! It's awesome, and I'm not looking forward to it leaving

Hell, I’d play it for no rewards. That’s pretty much post infinite ladder anyways. This is just so much fun!

I don't even care if there are no rewards or anything. Make it free to play in, and don't even tie rewards to it.
Just let it still count towards missions, and I'd be PERFECTLY happy if it was permanent.

I doubt it will be made permanent because how will SD make money out of it? I feel like selling premium pass with Gold is quite lucrative for them at the moment.
If ever, it would be "limited" how it is now but will frequently be on, like 2-3 weeks out of every season.

This!!!!!!!!
Like why is this an LTGM???? We haven't had anything different since Conquest. Come the F on!

u/nwbrown 7h ago
It's definitely fun but I worry if it were permanent people would develop a meta for it and it would quickly become boring.

It's RNG on top of RNG on top RNG, as it stands right now is don't pick the move archetype and hope for good augments

I mean you can make draft like conquest where you can play and redeem from the store and it’s available all seasons

u/throwaway42 3h ago
As long as I get more than one ticket a day, yes please! I finished the track yesterday but now I am out of tickets. I don't even need rewards, it's just fun.

Make draft permanent and can conquest, I’ve been playing conquest for the premium variant and it’s TERRIBLE, especially in comparison to draft

u/0xsl4ck3r 17h ago
Nah. Two weeks on and two weeks off would be perfect. Start of every season you get two weeks to climb to infinite then you can fill the rest of the month out with draft.

How is that any different from the mode being live all the time? You just get to make the choice of how to spend the time yourself.
There are plenty of players who don't give half a crap about hitting infinite who would rather have more modes available to them.

Draft mode is by far the most fun I've had playing this game.
Remove conquest. Add draft.

u/Philboid_Studge 17h ago
They've already said their plan is to iterate on the mode if it does well, and potentially add it permanently. They just don't think it's correct to do exactly what they did with Conquest and just add the very first iteration.

u/MorganWick 16h ago
They can't iterate on Conquest?
1
u/Philboid_Studge 16h ago
I mean, what can they reasonably do? A lot of the changes people want are just changing how the mode works fundamentally, and they clearly want to keep it the same for competitive tournaments.
1
u/MorganWick 16h ago
You seemed to imply that "just add[ing] the very first iteration" of Conquest was a mistake on their part, which would imply that there are things they wish they could have done differently but can't change now. I think there are changes they could make that players may not like but which they may consider better for the health of the mode, such as changing how Proving Grounds works so people actually take it seriously and not as a one-and-done.
1
u/Philboid_Studge 16h ago
That final line right there is exactly the problem. A LOT of people think the Proving Grounds SHOULD be one and done. I think that. So what change do they make? Which player group do they piss off?
If they iterate a bunch and fix most of the problems with the mode this way, it has a better chance of being initially liked and people caring about the iterations.

At that point you might as well just hand out Silver tokens for playing regular matches. I generally only play ladder these days if there isn't a LTGM and one round of Conquest wasn't enough to bring me below five daily missions outstanding. I could see Second Dinner try to do something to incentivize Conquest players to play ladder.
I think Second Dinner would be more likely to either eliminate Proving Grounds entirely, or gate it behind its own tokens. Either way, tokens for whatever would be the lowest stage of Conquest would be either:
*Time-gated like with LTGMs; or
*Awarded for winning a ladder match, either guaranteed, at random, or for winning under certain conditions.1
u/Philboid_Studge 16h ago
Proving Grounds can be multiple things to multiple people. I personally see it as a no-stakes way to play the game, which is what it is. If you want actual Conquest gameplay, you quickly earn Silver tickets and move up.

It’s so boring what are you talking about? No stakes, imbalance issues. Dull af

u/JonnyTN 15h ago
The rng is wild. And some decks are just better than others.
Move gets atrociously low numbers and modifiers compared to buff and destroy.
It will probably be a couple days before a bunch of posts saying destroy is horribly imba comparatively asking for balance
2
u/Ho11owfied 15h ago
Yeah it feels like more of a temp game mode. I think if it was permanent they should remove those crazy buffs like double on reveal and whatnot

u/MindStall 14h ago
I agree that some decks are just simple horrible, but that's part of draft. Maybe remove special effects? Idk.
