I've had a duelyst wallpaper for ages and I didn't even know what the game was, they have some really nice concept art.
There is, 150 gold, but the minimum reward for just going 0-3 is usually on the level of one booster pack plus 50g, so you end up losing nothing.By the way is there an entry fee for the Gauntlet? I've missed the one on Saturday, so I didn't get to try it out.

I tend to save up my gold during rest of the week then spend it in Gauntlet for almost guaranteed better gains
Not exactly, since in Hearthstone Arena you end up losing stuff unless you manage 3 wins. But aside from that, and Duelyst gauntlet ending on 9 wins instead of 12, yes.Same as Hearthstone then, Iwas wondering whether to save my gold or not.

Yeah, it is nice not having to play a faction you don't like for overly longLooks like Duelyst is a bit more, I'd say fair(?), maybe generous is a better word, in terms of time/investment reward. You get gold a bit faster, quests are less frustrating in a sense that you can just lose all your games and still get rewards, tutorial challenges give you a bit of easy gold, which nice.
You could also play the game through Google Chrome in beta.duelyst.com (does not work for other browsers)Can't get the client to install, window pops up but than it disappears quickly.
Since the patch this morning the game always freeze or get black screen for no reason online or on Solo training. I lost like 3 rank game because of this, and i was about to win !
This game has been a lot of fun so far, obviously the devs have taken a hard look at hearthstone but that's not a bad thing at all. Is there going to be a 2vs2 mode in this?
I feel so dirty. Had my first victory where my finishing move was Spiral Technique. Ugh, UGH.
It is not fun losing to this. "Oh, you have board control now, but that doesn't matter. Bang, 30% of your max HP gone instantly"
Not a fan of those kind of cards, that can simply eat loads of your HP out of nowhere and requires no set up, outside of nuking the general/face. Same goes for Pyroblast.
Tbh, 3 would be overkill since you'd draw it way too often and fast and would have to use your card redraw on that every round until the (pen)ultimate round when you can afford to dump 7 mana on a single spell, not do much else, and basically give up the board control for that turn.This is will probably be nerf, this is way tIo freaking strong. magine 3 on a deck...
It is such a weird card, I've only ever fought it once. When my opponent played it, I was kinda lost for a moment on how to distribute my damage.I just got luck and got the Rare creature that when your general die he take the place of the general (5/12). This is a freaking great card for end game...
"On PC, press CTRL + SHIFT + F or on Mac press CTRL + CMD + F to toggle windowed mode"is there no windowed mode in this game or am I just missing it?
Had some atrocious runs with Vetruvian (2 and 0) and pretty good runs with Vanar (6 and 5) on today's gauntlet
For Vetruvian, I think my decks failed due to me picking all those delicious but expensive tanky buffs and movement/attack debuffs, but had no decent early game units. The units I had were too much on the techy side. Nothing really remained alive for another round to be buffed.

Well, one thing I've noticed is that it's tough to pick just the right amount of reliable removal and dispels in Gauntlet, so ranged units on both sides are that much harder to take care of quickly. Sworn Avengers are a particular pain. So, I tend to pick 1 or 2 with any deck, and a single Crossbones if I don't lose out on some amazing card.I had no idea what I was doing on Wednesday's Gauntlet. Oh this card looks nice, oh this card looks nice. My curve was fine but I was getting out comboed left and right. Doesn't help I don't know what cards are must haves. 1-3 is pitiful, considering I would do 5-7 consistently in HS. Well, just need more practice.
HIGHEST RANK SEASON REWARD BONUSES + BONUS CHEVRONS
NOTE Going forward we will be deploying an additional patch on the last day of each season that will include the content and any season change info.
When playing on our monthly Season Ranked Ladder, some players have expressed hesitance to continue playing after reaching a particularly good rank. It could feel like too much of a step backwards to lose a rank or two. Based on the forum feedback, we’ve made some changes that will encourage you to enjoy achieving greater ranks while playing Ranked Ladder throughout the month.
Starting this October season, we will track the HIGHEST rank you've ever reached in the previous month to recognize your accomplishments. We will award players who've achieved Rank 20 or better with a loot crate containing Gold and Spirit rewards determined by your HIGHEST rank over the course of the season (in this case, for September).
Beginning this November season, the loot crates will be permanently upgraded to award you with fresh monthly season content - a set of new cards that will be introduced for the first time into the game! In other words, each month we will introduce a set of four new season cards into the Core Set (1 Common, 1 Rare, 1 Epic, and 1 Legendary). Eligible players will receive a loot crate (determined by your highest rank) at the end of each season containing one or more season content cards, Spirit, and some Gold. For example, a player whose HIGHEST achieved rank from last season was Rank 10 will receive 1 copy of this season's Legendary card, 1 copy of this season's Epic card, 135 Spirit, and 110 Gold.
We hope the fresh sets of monthly cards and rewards that you can now earn each season will add a new layer of fun to the game and encourage you to achieve higher ranks.
Lastly, in November, we'll also be introducing Bonus Chevrons. At the start of each season, each player's new rank will be determined by their rank at the end of the previous season. Players are awarded a bonus chevron for each rank above 28 they achieved at the end of the season, and the player will begin the new season at the rank resulting from their total bonus chevrons. For example, a player who ended the previous season at Rank 20 qualifies for 8 bonus chevrons at the beginning of the next season to start immediately at Rank 23 (rather than at Rank 30).

Yeah, thank god for that. I'm pushing Duelyst pretty hard on my Steam friends and it would be a shame if the ranked matches were borderline impenetrable for the first week or two. Made a quick sheet of how the ranks will change between seasonsWell, copy paste from HS, makes sure that low ranks are not completely filled with high ranking players at the start of the season.
Yeah. There is a point where wins start only giving 5 gold per 2 wins, but at that point I'm usually sick of playing for the rest of the day. By the way, Abyssian mirror matches are weird. You want to leave your own minions on the board to capitalize on them next turn, but you also don't want to do that in case the opponent starts applying Deathwatch themselves!I think I'm gravitating towards to Abyssians as my main faction. Songhai are close second. I haven't really had time to play it in earnest but I'm glad I can earn quite a bit of gold without playing too much.
No worries mate@Nordicus, sorry didn't see your message in game.
Oh, indeed it has!Looks like the game has gone Open Beta. I don't know if that applies to everyone but I assume so.
As far as seeing what your current faction level is, no, you can "only" see that progress after a match has ended. But when you go to your Collection and press the Crafting button, you will see what cards you've still to unlock and at what level.Is there any way to see how far you are from unlocking cards for a faction?
I just have to say that the animation in this game is incredible. I only played the tutorial but I'm liking it so far. It reminds me of the excellent F2P game Card Hunter in some ways.New minions effect look so nice.
I am pretty busy and havent play the game for a while
The artist has worked on Rogue Legacy, and Chasm. The similarities are more apparent with the latterI just have to say that the animation in this game is incredible. I only played the tutorial but I'm liking it so far. It reminds me of the excellent F2P game Card Hunter in some ways.

Apparently swarms of new players have arrived because many Hearthstone players are frustrated with Blizzard's behaviour, the RNG and the current stale meta. Since the thread asking for Hearthstone alternatives on Reddit mere days ago, Duelyst sub-reddit subscriber count has doubled.

PCGamer (Tom Marks): Duelyst Is My Favorite New Card Game Since Hearthstone
The drawing speed, reliability of spells/removal and small hand size also mean that the meta *should* not come down to summon your one biggest minion on curve. Even Magmar with their powerful beefy minions have to give the minion additional support through removal or buffsI am not gonna lie: I think this game is better and more fair than Hearthstone, even in its current state. It has WAY more options when it comes to tactics.
1. You can reshuffle and draw a new card each turn, and get 2 cards per turn in addition to that

It is not just underwhelming, it's the worst legendary. Gonna get buffed eventually so you may keep it until a balance patch changes it to get 900 spirit, or 350 if you can't wait and want some basic cards or an epic right nowFell asleep watching Dog play HS last night. Woke up and he was playing this with a referral code at the top. Got intrigued, started playing.
....man, I'm gonna spend $$ aren't I . I also got a Spelljammer in my first "pack", I think it's a legendary, but seems underwhelming.

Aah right, should show the new monthly cards hereI now have two of them .
Didn't play long enough to get to gold, so missed out on Khymera. Only had like two day, tho, so not stressing too hard.
Nice ideas. Still not enough cards here to go crazy, but enjoying Lyonar so far.
I will say one thing...they need to zoom in / make the board bigger. By a lot. Way too much wasted background on the background art / tooltips and words are too small. It's annoying and also kills the streaming possibilities.
It's really bad.
