Have fun working out bugs with everyone :D
Forgot about the alpha.
Just got my email too.

Honestly, I think Hex is probably going to be the best value for what you get because you technically can get everything by just playing the game - even the premier currency - via the auction house. There is absolutely nothing you cannot get by trading, including services that are traditionally bought with real money (like tickets to tournaments and PVP packs).Pretty sure Alpha has all cards unlocked for testing, no money involved. F2P aspect in Hex comes from PVE which will probably not be in the alpha or beta I'd guess.
Don't people like to complain Hearthstone just is a huge grind after you do your dailies and pretty much forces you to play 50 games or spend real money to continue each round in the Arena?
Sure, it may be a huge grind to do it, but it is doable. Besides, there's the whole PVE aspect too, which is supposed to be another whole, completely free to play game apart from the PVP game (which is the only thing that could require a money investment).
Still no email here. Anyone else waiting stil
games freezing left and right, gonna wait till the patch hits this week before opening the client again
Between Hearthstone and the super buggy HEX client, I've barely played any HEX. Really hoping the client gets more stable. Still would rather be playing HEX, so... how is everything now?
Still waiting.
And honestly the whole reason I got this was because it WASN'T Hearthstone which looked...well, really dull to me to be honest.

I just got my alpha invite, so I'm pretty happy! I can't wait to see what this is like...
Got in yesterday, went in and played a game without reading up on anything with one of the demo decks and won, yay for basically being MTG with different words for things!
I dunno if I'll really play more until they get more stuff added in, though. Most of what sounded really cool to me like leveling up cards and doing PVE stuff doesn't seem to be in yet plus the most exciting part, opening new packs! I might try and make a deck just to get a feel for more cards, I guess.

Is anyone else unable to save decks after creating them? I hit save multiple times and it just isn't doing anything when I try to load the deck I just created. It's as if I never saved it.

Got in. I am straight astonished at some of the names that were already taken, especially considering that a plural version of my final one was but not the singular. The fuck? Ah well.
That said, Imma have to play against the AI a couple times to feel the game out before messing with deck creation.

Aww I cant deck someone in 5 turns nowToday's patch notes
Escalation and Demented Demolisher nerfed
Pretty huge changes to the escalation cards. Good thing they caught that exploit before it went live with their 'we'll never make changes / nerf cards' stance.Today's patch notes

Anyone know how to save a deck? I've only gotten the "Deck Saved" prompt to come up once. I made a deck with 60 cards and no more than 4 of each except for resources and when I click save it never does anything. Getting a bit frustrated now since I've been in alpha for days with no progress with this problem. I'm assuming it's user error.

OMG mencing Gralk owns so god damn hard it's not even funny
So I've actually finished some games now, which is good as it's an improvement for me. I still cannot create and save a deck though. I can delete them sometimes. Will just wait it out as it seems like too simple of a process to be anything but a bug. Game is pretty fun though, polish is all it needs, which will come with time.

Here are some others with the issue I am having. Hopefully this helps anyone else experiencing it.

My friend's first deck in Hex turned out to be a saph/blood control/aggro-flying deck.
I told him to go make a new deck.

Pure blue works shockingly well :P I cant wait for the eventual put card on top of openents deck cards :P
Oh god there is this hilarious bug, where the enemy AI would constantly use Polymorph on it's own units haha
Edit: Now every turn takes 5 min to synch so I had to quit :(

This priority bug is killing meeeeeee!!! Also, there are no decks listed when I click the drop down box for PVP. Also, where do you create your keep?
Synching takes forever :(
This was a fun game xD
So the Friday update gave me a lot of confidence in what Cryptozoic is doing to ensure server stability, polish, etc - right now, I believe what was said was that the alpha servers are essentially running on a home computer set-up - they aren't even using their actual server hardware, because they want to make sure all the problems with how they are running the servers are fixed to the point where server stability would be at its lowest and its most vulnerable.
I'm a Captain backer, and I spent the entire first game confused as hell with how to play this game.
I didn't realize until the middle of the game that it's just magic but better.
I'm a moron.

LOL this sequence I just had.
At 2 HP left
Summon mencing gralk *forces all opposing troops to tap and not untap during next untap step
next turn Mimic mencing gralk
next turn Time ripple gralk back to my hand summon again.
GG xD

Game seems a bit too slow for my taste, and I'm not talking about Alpha quirks and lag.
End phase, End phase, End phase, End phase...
They should streamline it to make it faster like Hearthstone.
Keep the depth (which Hearthstone lacks), but seriously cut down on the huge downtime.
It feels even slower than Magic: Duels of the Planeswalkers.

I think all they can really do is change the optional end phase action to a timed event (3-5 seconds long) to interrupt a recent action like in DotP. There's no way to keep the depth of being able to play outside of your turn without adding a lot of extra time to the game. If you do something weird like only prompt when the opponent actually has a usable card, then you may as well make everyone play with their cards face up. Hex will never feel as fast as Hearthstone or SolForge.Originally Posted by theMrCravens

Yep, that's the hidden cost to interaction on your opponent's turn. You can only do so much to streamline it. There's another game in development I'm interested in that's going to try only allowing interaction during the opponent's combat phase.I think all they can really do is change the optional end phase action to a timed event (3-5 seconds long) to interrupt a recent action like in DotP.

Use spacebar or just press in advance. My games dont normally last more than 12 minsOriginally Posted by theMrCravens

Is 10-15 minutes short or long though? Hearthstone games can last just a few minutes or less with rushing.
The idea of only allowing opponent interaction during the battle phase is an interesting idea for a compromise too, but I just don't know if you're gaining enough to make it worthwhile at that point, it's probably just better to let it be full blown MtG style instant anytime than a watered down version, but I guess we'll see.

Kinda the average as far as card games go.Is 10-15 minutes short or long though? Hearthstone games can last just a few minutes or less with rushing.
The problem I have with Hearthstone is that there really isnt much strategy to it, it's pretty much all determined when you make your deck. At that point it kind of plays itself

I don't wanna gum up the thread much. But there is a reason people still play Magic. Hex doesn't need to be Hearthstone. It plays just fine as is and I don't mind the priority system as it allows you to play at every moment without your opponent knowing what you have.
Cast sabotage
use nin's ability
Top 2 cards are mines *blows up for the win*
LOL I feel like I cheated
