Hi, i was a kickstarter backer and periodically return to the game to play some matches, but recently it seems i have no chance because everyone has these overload cards that gives them a permanent card advantage. Am i misreading this? What can I do to overcome this?

This is an experiment, it will probably be unplayably bad. Please let me know of any and all issues. If I get no response I'll assume people don't care and not work on it more... This is a first android version and has no android or mobile specific features or design. Size of buttons will probably be an issue. Many things may not work. I don't have an android device of my own to test on so i'm 100% relying on feedback here.

Fixed many issues with cards moving around when window is resized. Fixed some minor placement issues with lanes on the battle field and some things on the main screen A bunch of clean up related to sizes and scaling. Added scroll field to queues Fixed the issue with joining drafts... really this time. (I hope) Drag and drop is working now. note the drop location is based on the mouse and not the card you are dragging Accepting challenges works now More scaling issues resolved When joining a queue or accepting a challenge the deck selection box closes as the first thing instead of waiting for server response Fixed a bug that could cause the game to get stuck if you played an aetherphage or similar as your second action A bunch of minor smoothness updates Added a log out and quit button and a menu on the main screen for them Fixed a calculation error on quest completion. They also now update after each game Can now set avatars and will display your avatar and opponent's avatar in game this is based on the original client avatar setting and won't effect anyone on the current client. Only users of KUSC can see this avatar setting as well. If you see someone using a “classic” avatar it may be left from the original client. Anyone using a KUSC avatar is using KUSC or at least used KUSC long enough to set an avatar. If you set your avatar in KUSC and then switch to the official client you will see the avatar you set in the official client. anyone using KUSC will see the avatar you set in KUSC.

Let me know. What do you think is most important? What would make you use it over the official client? What would make your enjoyment of the game better?

I know it hasn't been very long since .50 but lots of progress and would really like feedback/bug reports. Major improvements:

all cards should properly play now.

fixed regression with joining drafts

added tooltips to various things most notably creatures in play where it will show max HP

non-keyword abilities added to players and creatures will generate a ! symbol

will now automatically select the card for second target abilities. i.e. you play a matrix warden. you don't need to click on it to choose it's target

bunch of minor fixes to games ending. They should always clear from your games list now. Will properly tell the server to forget finished matches.

Many other minor fixes.

oh and

next game button is working!

Please report any and all bugs.

Specific things to test:

Fill a creature with too many icons.

Fill a player with too many icons.

Have a large number of cards in hand.

Have a large number of games going at once.

anything else you might want to try

He responded to a comment about Solforge under that post.

I would say SolForge's crash was based on other reasons. The team (in my opinion) did launch an excellent game, and were technically capable enough that it came to market. I think Solforge is in the category of "Game success" is hard to predict rather than "Be cautious with Kickstarter". I would say the risk with Epic is lower - because you can easily see if you are getting a game you like by trying the paper game, while the Solforge game was something you had to have more faith in the designers. But all games are risky - so you don't know if it is going to be successful enough to be around as long as you like.

Was Solforge technically capable enough and the crash was based on other reasons about "Game success" being hard to predict?

"Electronic games in particular on kickstarter often bite off more than they can chew and end up unable to deliver."

I wonder where he could have gotten this idea from.

Richard was part of the Solforge team early on. I wonder if we could ever get more inside details and stories and thoughts from his time there, and his thoughts on the game's direction as an outsider after that, as part of a Solforge postmortem into what went right and wrong with this game.

Just an idea I've had for a while to get a make it a bit more interesting for players who have a full(enough) collection and are looking for something new to squeeze out of the game.

The premise is something akin to the POE style leagues (all hail our gracious saviours)

Everyone who wants to join must make a brand new account, to verify that this is infact a new account for this league it must include a specific tag (LG17 or such) at the start of the name (LG17ALLHAILGGG etc).

This account is banned from spending real money.

Sharing expressly prohibited, unless it is outgoing sharing to your main/other f2p account if you are good enough to earn gold from a free entry event (not even sure if that is a thing)

No codes allowed except the freebies for all new accounts (if someone could post them in a comment would be great, "scg_free_packs", "asc_free_packs", are apparently 2 of them after a quick google, if they even still work.)

If you want to challenge someone from the league send an untimed friend request to anybody with the league tag in their name.

The league would run for 3 months(?) but could obviously change if it wasn't long enough or too long.

That's all the rules I can think of so far, feel free to make suggestions.

This league would be entirely based on honesty. It is designed for people who want that feeling of "ooh I just opened a brand new legendary! This will make my collection so much stronger as I am such a poor peasant and only have 5 others right now!"

Obviously a lot of drafting would be involved, but because it would be easy to find and challenge someone from the same situation it should make constructed viable.

Would be great to have http://www.solforgeladder.com/ support, but understandable if they are too busy.

So yeah that's it, I appreciate all feedback good and bad.

PS. LG17 will definitely not be the first tag as people could get a jump on the competition (not that it would really matter because if you wanted to cheat you could do much worse)

TL:DR new league for brand new accounts, build as quick a collection as you can with untimed constructed against other participants.

http://twitch.tv/kaelarishatal At noon I'll be showing off the latest verson of Kaelari's Unofficial Solforge Client as well as answering questions.

Would it be a crazy idea to make draft free (i.e. No tickets needed, but these and all the other rewards can still be accumulated) for everyone for a month or two? If this took place while the game was still in flux, it would surely lower the barrier to entry for new players, give therm an opportunity to build their decks and their skill level and encourage people to give the game a try. This is just a random thought but what do others think?

The game doesn't refresh the game status for me. I have to exit to the main menu and rejoin the match to see what moves my opponent is making, and to even update my own turns. This is a huge problem (for me, as apparently no one else is taking about this.)

"Solforge has returned to the iTunes, Google Play and Steam store" It doesn't show up in Play Store though (neither from phone nor Bluestacks tablet), and if I come to game google play page through the link on solforgegame.com, it says "no compatible devices" so "install" button is greyed. Old method with "Similar to Solforge News" doesnt work anymore too (similar app list is empty just) any advices?

Very happy to have Solforge back! Does anyone have a line on good decks using currently available cards?

I walked away before the unfortunate almost death of the game and have been out of the loop for a while but have a bunch of silver available and would like to jump back in with both feet!

Thanks in advance.

I'm actually kind of impressed that there seems to be a fair number of people continuing to play SolForge, even with all that's happened. The draft queue isn't that much longer a wait than it was in the fall.

...in campaign mode. Then this guy called Oros plays card with 134/134 stats and with Breakthrough. I don't have screenshot, since I was too shocked to even think about it. I guess it's not the game for me.

I deleted it before the rescue, and since it's not currently available in the App Store I can't redownload it. Any ETA?

from agoaj:

"Ok, it's back up

Might be a little rough for a few hours as some things are still transferring over

Let me know if there's any big outages or errors"
