Call it a nice bonus? I mean, you can't possibly want to play against the AI...

Well, the AI doesn't act badly when it's winning or losing. Can't say that about regular players. Nothing like having to wait for 30 sec every time a player is about to lose because they choose to disconnect rather than take the loss like a man.

Anyway Everguild, any word on the early signup bonuses?

We have just started sending pre-registration campaign rewards via email. We are doing it in batches, hang in there if you don't receive yours just yet.

Closed Beta rewards will be sent early next week.

One other thing, I really don't think you should be playing against your own side in the event even if it means you play against more bots. It kind of ruins the narrative plus it will skew the results for the event I think

edit: also, thanks for the quick responses.

That's a compromise we decided to make for the time being. It's less about fighting bots and more about having more variety of decks to play against. We agree that it would be cooler and more lore-friendly to have factions only fight each other, however, so we will be looking into that for future events.

– Heard you on UI. Any more specifics you can give us?

It's kinda hard to put it in words, but I think the best way to describe it, is how every bit of the UI feels too large for the screen size. It feels cluttered, and messy. I don't know it's only me, but that's what I feel. Feels ... cheap

Concerning animations, the only one I noticed so far that I really disliked are the card rarity ones, as weird as it sounds. The "lightning" looks so odd and weird looking and ugly (again, it might be just me )

Also, am I being dumb or is there no way to create the cards I want? I see I can buy from a selection of 8 in the store, but is it possible to buy specific cards we have in mind to make a deck?

LoL, it feels like I get less variety from players. Over half of them feel like they've been Angron. Probably to use a primarch.

Some idea of what you get from the 3 loot crate would be helpful. Also, the red crate you get from the events and daily is getting confused with the cosmetics crate because they're both red. We're telling people in lodge chat that the cosmetics crate has a star on it rather than an X, but I can see why the confusion. I was myself. Even worse on a phone with the small screen as you don't notice the star or x easily.

That helps. Thanks!

Currently there is no way to craft cards. Sets of cards will cycle through the store, to be bought with Gems. Offering a smaller sample of individual cards to buy at a time gives us room to spice things up in the store later on. We understand the restriction can be frustrating, so we offer many ways to earn free cards:

– A free crate every few hours.
– Winning 5 games a day (Ranked or Event) unlocks a Daily Quest crate.
– Taking part in an Event costs a ticket (or 10 if you want to risk it to get x10 goodies) and gives you a reward based on the total number of victories you get, up to 12.
– Taking part in an Event while being part of a Lodge adds score to unlock a Lodge Reward at the end of every Event.
– Taking part in ranked PvP gives you a reward at the end of every monthly Season according to your rank and planet you reach (from Isstvan III to Terra, where the top players fight).
– Earning achievements will net you a wealth of crates to get a good early start.
– Keeping an eye on our social media for special promotions– we just awarded 10 players a Primarch of their choice!

Um, event wins are not counting towards the daily currently. I'd like them to. I just won my 12 in the event a few minutes ago and I'm still at 0/5 for the daily.

edit, few more things:

1) How do you get the Fires of Heresy and Imperium of Man badges from the event? Event crates?

2) What are legendary points and how do you get them?

3) It would be nice to know how close you are to leveling

Yes, that was a mistake; Daily Quest crates have a high chance of yielding Event Tickets, so Event wins don't count for this.

1) The winning Emblem will become part of the collection and appear in crates as other cosmetics do. The Emblem from the losing faction will be lost to oblivion... But maybe it gets a chance to try to come back at a later event or in some other way!

2) Legendary points are a way acknowledge the investment put by the top players who reach Terra climbing the ranks in Ranked Seasons. At the end of each month, points above 3000 get added to that player's Legendary points pool for everyone to see. Their rank then resets back to 3000 so everyone has to play for the top score in the new season.

3) Check your emblen in the main menu, See that bright blue circle around it? The fuller the circle, the closer you are to levelling up!

Wow, I lost a battle in the event because my finger slipped and I dropped a 7 point Pride of the Empire on my OWN warlord. I would have won if it had hit the target. Curse friendly fire.

Few more things:

1) Am I correct in that there are only 4 warlords you can get right now (other than the 5 primarchs you gave out on facebook)?

2) I completed the 12 wins in the event on the x10 tickets. Somehow I got 3x of 2 different rare cards out of 10 yellow boxes. Maybe it was bad luck, but weird

3) On top of #2, when I spent my 2600 gold on the gold boxes, I didn't get a single rare or legendary card. That doesn't exactly make me want to spend $20 to get 2500 gold when those boxes are just about all I can get with it.

As new Legions come into the game, each with their own set of strategies and mechanics, we will explore ways to make opponent interactions feel fun to play and play against. Which Legion would you think makes sense to have mechanics that happen during the opponent's turn?

On top of my head, I can think of 2 kinds of legions:

- The Sneaky ones, like Raven Guard and Night Lords. Since they have plenty of stealth tactics, they could surprise the enemy in their turn.

- The Siege ones, like Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists. Considering how they are siege masters, I can imagine "traps" built by them to frak up the attackers.

Hell, you can even make more differences. Iron warriors are more offensive minded, so maybe you could include mechanics that favor negating enemy resources/auto-destroy cards (like the red decks from MTG). Or Alpha legion, which is focused in making as big a mess as possible, could have mechanics that swap the spells targets and generally disrupt the strategy.

1) There are a total of 15 playable warlords at launch: 3 from each Legion, 3 neutrals. Plus some event-only Warlords, like Lucius.

2) You mean you got the same card 3 times in a single crate? Getting the same rare across many boxes is certainly possible, but takes bad luck.

3) That's fair. We'll take a look at this. Thanks for letting us know!

Doesn't seemed balanced.

I tried the arena, and was matched up with a guy using the 3/40 dude, and his deck demolished mine. This was round 2. If this were hearthstone (which this game is a direct rip off of) I wouldn't normally face people like that until round6+.

Being that the arena decks you pick are set, this seems really unbalanced. That guy's deck was insane. I see there is no drafting system. Since decks are set, I don't see how I could possibly beat that kind of rush deck.

I guess it would have been better if my power allowed me to stun the player instead of just his troops?

Angron looks really good initially. He does have 2 very significant issues though:

1) he starts with less cards. Always having that unusable chaos card and the others getting an extra card is tough.

2) he has to attack and doesn't have another ability. Hence, he doesn't do much for his deck

I've found Saul to be much better honestly and prefer using him. His ability to speed up his deck is so much better for a rush.

Figuring out event metas is part of the fun. Not when you're getting steamrolled by Angron, that's for sure. While Angron is perceived as the best and many players are picking him now, some dedicated players are finding Tarvitz the strongest Warlord of this event so far.

While luck can play a hand, we've tested it before release: all decks can win all decks. Some matchups are harder than others. Lucius struggles the most against Angron, but has an easier time against Ehrlen, and can stop early game tempo plays from Tarvitz. Angron allows few mistakes, so he's an easy pick now that the game is new and players aren't familiar with the game pace and cards, but his 3 attack and 40 health are compromised by having less utility and powerful troops in his deck.

Now, who's taken down the Red Angel yet?

+1 to Saul Tarvitz

Also, I wanted to let you know that the Battle Reports looking like the Horus Heresy Army List Red Books is a great touch.

Yet another for Saul. As a previous "Tempo-Mage", I absolutely love the "Perfect Captain" deck. Heck, the "Perfect" ability is damn fun.

Also, got my coupon, worked beautifully

I have yet to receive a coupon, despite being in closed beta.

Though at the moment it's also difficult to tell the card rarity, some legendaries don't really seem all that legendary either.

Well I have a coupon code I can’t use currently.

Game hangs while loading on Bluestacks on the "Going to the Secret Lodge Meeting" screen.

Works fine on my android.

This worked on Bluestacks yesterday. so I'm not sure what the issue is. I did just join a lodge today... so maybe there is some conflict with lodges and Bluestacks?

Nox tends to work alot better with it then bluestacks as I've tested.

Oh, I didn't know about Nox. I'll give it a shot.

As for Bluestacks, that problem might need to be resolved eventually, if possible or feasible.

As far as gameplay, I've started to use the 3/40 dude and the arenas are a breeze now. Just mowing through bots and people like swiss cheese.

Everguild:

Went 12 for 12 in the event again with the 10x tickets. At one point I got 4 Gladiator Group 27 rares in 5 blue boxes. I know luck is a factor, but it feels weird that I was THAT unlucky, especially considering I already had 2 of them. Also, on my last 3 yellow boxes I got 4 legendaries (Fulgrim, Gorefather, Rylanor, and Koriel Zeth). Later when I opened 27 more 100g loot boxes I only got 2 rares.

I'm happy with the legendaries (obviously) but it does feel that the RNG can get wonky when you're opening a ton of loot boxes in a row. Did know if you wanted to look into it since this is the beta. Getting 2 rares in 53 100g crates is worrisome when that would be about $40. Maybe have more expensive crates with guaranteed rares or something?

Emissary wrote:

More expensive crates with a chance at guaranteed rares, you mean. Got to have the plausible deniability of "maybe RNG just hates me" to keep the CCG scam going. You have to make sure that you give people nothing, but make them think that there is a hope of getting something if only they just spend more money. Letting them actually get what they want for their money means the money flow stops.

Also, this thread title is irritating. Can someone edit it to make it clear that this is not a product being made by GW directly? That it's yet another mobile game farmed out to some random developer for easy money?

Closed beta reward codes will be sent from Monday 19th.

Card rarity:
– No color: Common
– Green: Rare
– Orange: Epic
– Golden: Legendary (of which you can only own and use 1 copy instead of 2)

The different kinds of crates you win on Events have different chances, with the golden one being the one more likely to yield Legendaries. We'll look into communicating crate importance. Regarding luck, what you¡re telling is quite an uneven experience, even for a luck based system. Thanks for letting us know, we'll look into it. This is not the kind of experience we'd expect opening so many crates should give.

Is there a forum for the game or is this pretty much it?

Few thoughts after playing for over a day now:

1) Saul Tarvitz needs to have his heal reduced to 1 or eliminated completely. His reduce cost ability is good enough for the character, especially with the perfection mechanic.

2) The card store where you can buy individual cards for gems needs to have at least a rare option every day. I'm assuming it cycles through the 7 factions during the week. With rares being as hard as they are to get unless you win all 12 in the event, buying them really needs to be an option. This goes double if you can't craft cards you need. If you're playing a certain warlord and your faction day finally comes up, then there are nothing but commons and uncommons it could be disheartening.

3) Is there a way to change what your warlord says in the beginning of the match?

4) I'm surprised the warlords don't show up in the show all cards selection. It's weird not knowing what some warlords can do until you stumble across them.

5) Angron's daemon form is really hard to pull off compared to Fulgrim's. I don't know how the other two are, but I get Fulgrim's off regularly and Angron's is more a matter of sheer luck.

6) For your profile emblem, it would be nice if the game said which one you were picking. I can't find that one anywhere either.

7) It would be nice if you can assign card backs to specific decks.

For your questions:

4: When you go to collection, there is a tab to the upper left that has like two cards, and a face. Click the face and it shows the warlords

5: It really is, it also really doesn't do much at all honestly for him given it just heals him back 10 and +1A.

6: On the battle screen upper left with your name. Click the emblem next to your name to access the screen. It's on the same page with the card backs, just click the little edit icon in it's bottom right.
