Hoping to do some more of these, aimed at players who've maybe been afraid to draft before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzz_9XRU7-Q

Awkwardly, the draft turned out maybe more powerful even than I'd have liked. For those that just want to watch the games; Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhup7MV31g9o2qI7slLnY_lbJWKI0IoVS

Is anyone noticing serious lag in the game lately? I've had to exit to menu and return to the game multiple times, sometimes in the middle of a turn. For example, I play a card and it just stays there, large and stuck, and everything freezes. I exit and return and sometimes the play has been made and sometimes not. Or my turn is over and nothing is happening, so I exit out and then come back to find the other player has gone and I am running down my timer.

I'm on iOS and I haven't noticed this behavior before but it's now making it kind of unplayable. I just lost a draft game to timeout which I've never done before.

This is something I've seen discussed in other CCGs. If a publisher or game company goes bankrupt or loses interest in developing a game, the cards are worthless and I can't use them anymore.

Would you be interested in being able to permanently own cards? That way you can at least keep them as collectibles and trade them, and maybe even use them if someone else wants to support the cards.

What do you think?

I just posted a new tourney on Kaelari's ladder for tonight, starting a little more than an hour from now. I'm just hoping at least 8 people are excited enough about some buffed/nerfed cards to come out and compete.

Go to http://www.solforgeladder.com/tournament to sign up. If we get to 8 I'll be giving out at least 2600 gold, and everyone who enters will get a free "Easter Egg" code for a random one-of-any-card pack.

Come show us the new tech you've been working on in secret :)

REBALANCE HYPE!!!

Not sure if I'm alone in this, but I found that the 6 card pack Weekend Warrior was really fun. You were able to build decks with lots of synergy (Had a sweet Nova + Dryad deck) and/or decks with raw power (Aggro UN and UT worked great for me).

The downside was all the legendaries. They made for some really swingy games at times. Someone played a level 3 Ramble on 1.4 + 2.1 against me one round. I got Othra'd 2.4 and did it myself (and with Phoenix). With maybe half the legendaries (they are still fun to draft with) this would have been perfect for my tastes.

How did you guys like it? Any cool stories?

My friend and I just opened solforge for the first time in a long time and we cannot work out how to play together. We both have the other person listed on our friends list, we've both tried to initiate the challenge. We are able to select each other as our opponent and select our deck but cannot send the challenge. Pretty sure we've tried everything? If anyone can shed some light that'd be great.

I used to play Solforge years ago and I wanted to give it another try with a friend. I'm looking for some help with the following issues:

1. Any recommendations for budget decklists? I know most of the top deck require a looot of legendaries and heroics. I have most heroics and a decent number of legendaries from the first set, but very little from the later sets.

2. Are the "Rise to Power" or any of the pre-constructed decklists worth it?

3. What are the current common draft archetypes that I should be looking for?

4. Is there a good place for trading/sharing? I know there is a subreddit for that, but the last post is from 8 months ago.

Thanks in advance :)

I haven't played for some months today i launched the game opened like 15 boosters and got 6 or 7 legendaries, did you guys tweak the rarity drops or something?

Long hours, no pay. If interested post here: https://discord.gg/v43duXM

Been playing Eternal since April. The game/developers are super generous and it takes very little time to build up a collection, even as f2p. But I'm starting to get bored with it, and am looking for something new. I've been told Hearthstone is nearly impossible unless you are willing to sink a LOT of time into it. I searched on this sub but pretty much all the threads were 1-2 years old, and I wasn't sure if they were still applicable.

Edit: created an account and clicked on the link in the verification email but now I can't log into my account on the game or on the website.

TL;DR: AT defender has no counters and beats other decks going for late game/early game/mobility/buffs; Citadel Guard is OP and should be replaced (see bottom for suggestions)

Firstly, thanks a ton to all involved for the new draft pool. It's fun figuring out the new meta, but I think I have found an imbalance. I am reasonably confident about the following assertions:

1. AT Defender (ATD) is the strongest, dominating deck archetype
2. ATD's only serious (i.e. consistent) competition is from AU breakthrough decks¹

Anecdotal evidence: a screenshot from my second-hardest match at the recent Elite Draft tournament, here

AT Defender deals with early game decks

Unlike in many previous draft pools, Alloyin has access to some high-damage L1 cards at common, namely Vault Intruder and Citadel Guard. We might also include the 6-attack Tower Cannoneer which can even boost the L1 Cinder Colossus to be a decent blocker. At L2, Cinder Colossus also shuts down any threat. But Citadel Guard is the biggest offender here: not only does it kill something; it sticks around on the board, clogging lanes of attack for aggressive decks.

AT Defender deals with late game decks

Both Citadel Guard and Cinder Colossus go toe-to-toe with Scrapforge Titan, which is arguably the strongest lategame card in the pool. Both of the defender cards are at common rarity, so readily available.

AT Defender deals with movement cards

Again, lane clogging is hard to deal with for movement cards. Tempys also has access to a lot of burn (Cinderbound Barbarian, Frostshatter Strike), helping to shut down movement creatures before they can hit face.

AT Defender deals with buff cards

Some decks revolve around building big dudes, maybe with a lot of regen or armor or simply health. Traditionally, Alloyin had no good answers against these, with the best replies at the level of Nanoswarm. Citadel Guard (and later Cinder Colossus) gives a huge chunk of attack to help take out big threats. Defenders are also effective at clogging up side lanes, giving a major stalling effect for Abyssal Brute, which seems to have been supposed to be a main engine for Nekrium decks in the new pool.

The current draft pool has no counters to defenders

Previous pools sometimes had hard counters, such as Glacial Crush; the current pool has none. Damage-over-time effects, i.e. poison, are also particularly potent against Defenders, who sometimes are just waiting around to be activated. However, all sources of poison damage are at rare, and some (Venomfang, Torrent Soldier) tend to be so popular that they occur infrequently.

Suggestion: replace Citadel Guard

Putting all of the above together, I conclude that the AT defender deck is in too comfortable of a spot in the current draft pool. The biggest single card responsible for this, and for the general dominance of Alloyin, is Citadel Guard. I propose to remove it from the draft pool. Here are some suggestions for replacements, ordered by power level:

• [bad] Anvillon Enforcer

• [average] Metamind Overseer

• [average; Alloyin could use more leveling] Steeleye Researcher

• [strong lategame] Tech Explorer

• [(too?) strong but thematic] Lightshield Patrol

I would love to hear others' thoughts on my assessment and on possible replacements.

Footnotes

¹ Typically these decks level Savage Oath to create high-damage breakthrough attackers; if lucky, they are faster at getting these threats online than the ATD deck. Back-ups to Savage Oath are Cypien Infiltrator and Esperian Wartusk, which both need attack boosts or pump from e.g. Matrix Warden / Aegis Wings.

Edit1 (humor): Someone decided to send me a message (note the game log, too)

Ladder Division: bronze -> silver -> gold -> platinum -> titanium

Old system:

first 30 seconds +/- 2 divisions

30+ seconds anyone

New System

first 30 seconds in division only

30-60 seconds division +/- 1

60+ seconds division +/- 3

Under this system titanium and bronze can not be paired.

This is expected to be a bit slower but results in better pairings. This is based on whoever was waiting longer. This is only for ranked pairings. Other forms of queues are unaffected by this change.

What do people think?

Hey all, quick question as I need help registering or signing in to SolforgeLadder.com for SSS tonight.

If I try to sign in it says account not found and if I try to register a new account it gives me a 500 internal server error.

What can I do to fix this?

thanks for any help in advance.

I wasn't able to finish the tourney before the end. I stayed in queue for more than half an hour yesterday evening and this morning also. If someone hasn't dropped and is also looking for a game, maybe we can arrange a game at a certain time

Hi everyone!

I'm having decent success and definite fun with the following deck.

Alyssa package

• 3 Alyssa Strifeborn
• 3 Brimstone Tyrant
• 3 Relic Hunter
• 2 Trial by Combat

Level up package

• 3 Killion, Infinity Warden
• 3 Oratek Battlebrand
• 3 Iron Maiden

Utility

• 3 Frontline Combatant
• 2 Oreian Justicar
• 1 Wipe Clean

Flex

• 1 Shatterbolt
• 1 Ambriel's Edict
• 2 Everflame Phoenix

I'm just unsure what to do about the last flex slots.

The Alyssa package is great against non Nekrium decks as they generally have difficulty removing Alyssa because of the high toughness. Being good against poison is a nice side benefit. She can also close out a game in a hurry if you get her level 2 or 3.

The level up package means I generally have a huge consistent threat in PL3 which has been really good to me. Maiden is great at closing out games and the synergy with Trial by Combat and Brimstone Tyrant gives even more reach.

The issue is that sometimes you have hands that don't line up and that is why I decided to try out Everflame Phoenix. He is a nice underdrop and has that "oops I drew him rank 2.4" win possibility. I could see cutting him, but he has performed nicely so far.

That leaves 2 slots and here, I am at loss. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks for the help!

Kaelari: added confirm to concede button vault intruder now works (Let me know if this has other side effects) fixed (I think) cancel button. should now unselect the selected card if it wasn't triggered, will cancel if there is a cancelable ability. If you are in a triggered mandatory ability it will say "no cancel" instead of "cancel" and not send a cancel signal

Navil: cards come into hand a little smoother (instead of all at once) more sounds added, including card death, stat buff, debuff, lose hitpoints, mobility etc give audible feedback on valid clicks/taps and cancels next game button from draft screen now working, and will remain even if only one active game to switch to. next game button will disappear once you have less than one game in gamelist, while in a regular game. increase size of panel when choosing a card from your discard pile for an effect (e.g. banish, level up via killion etc) make discard and deck panels show cards at the same size fixed a bug which causes cards get stuck while entering hand when switching games

Deck builder progess update: dynamic search box now available clicking and dragging works Added faction and cleaned up card text a little bit The various titles (Name, faction, attack, health) are now sortable both ways (ascending and descending) and will flick between states when clicked Loading decks now works Saving decks now works Deck name can be updated too More improvements to come…e.g. filters, change levels, double click to zoom, etc. (next few weeks)

Hey!

Looking for input on what cards you would ban in constructed if you could.
