tournement needed!

[clarkage]

Any one from R&D team could advice us"

In your future ACR blue print,

if there is a tounement system we could expect or just every on play casually;

if there is a "2 of 3" mode with a sideboard option we could expected;

if there is other extended memories we could expected;

Since AC world background is limited and it will impact the new card design in the future, if you have any solution on this,

real time duel system is creative and advantage, however cheat bugs and hacker problem might effect flunency of the match and mutual fair spirit.

I do like this new experience a lot and I hope i could grow and success in longer term.

Best of Luck ACR

I think it's really too early to talk about really future plans, I dont the devs would share a complete roadmap with the public at this stage, but I do agree with these sentiments.

If the card game follows the footsteps of the mother game, it could run quite a few expansions, but I have mixed feelings about that too, I really don't want this game to turn into the buy-a-pile-of-new-cards-every-few-months type of game mtg had become, but instead is valuable cos it's core, fewer sets gets the mechanic right and that future sets are compatible with earlier sets, not making one imba card after the next cos they need to sell more cards and not cos it's an interesting addition. I feel that's where magic is and that is why I quit magic.

The digital nature of ACR means cards can be updated, as we've seen lately with the balance update. Which hopefully means we won't ever be stuck with imba cards or needing to ban newer or older cards.

It's a heck of a difficult act to balance all the cards, but I believe the devs and the community together can manage it

Cheers to the future of ACR!

Yep, tournament and ELO, I wait in hope

A tournament system would be great! We may also want to look into running a tourney or league through the community here, if anyone is willing to bear the burden of organization (I could pitch in!)

As for sideboards and best-of-3 games, I'm not sure how I feel about that. Part of the charm right now for me is how fast you can get an AC:R fix. Best-of-3 dramatically increases the time invested per match. I'm not sure how much people would like that, especially when you're trying to hit your 500cr/day.

I agree to a point... but even the best CCG's would become stale without the infusion of new cards into the metagame from time to time. A big key is this: how large will the expansions be? If they are huge and loaded with chase rares that you want a 5x playset of like the base set is, that could be problematic.

I guess with the AH coming soon and the 500cr/allowance (best thing ever!) I feel like it'll be ok.

I don't mind chase rares. I don't even mind spending money on boosters like magic days, within reason. What I do mind is overpowered cards over overpowered cards over overpowered cards ad infinitum. If balance is maintained over the entire set (magic's type 1 environment has more banned cards than communism and pirate governments out there and type 2 is just that money making scheme I'm talking about) then it makes for a fuller and more challenging game.

Again, the digital nature of this game makes that at least remotely possible. Who knew age of empires could be balanced with like a hundred different factions? (ok I exaggerate but there were lots)

^^ lol!

I agree completely with you on balance and imba cards, and like you said hopefully with the ability to release balance patches we can avoid Jace, The Mind Sculptor scenarios in AC:R. A diverse metagame is a happy metagame!
