I see three numbers beside to the players avatar, perhaps the third is the number of graveyard, does this mean that the cards in the graveyard can be cast, like Gravecrawler.

You are very optimistic... I think it's just a way to see the graveyard count, handy for threshold or similar abilities.sumomole wrote:I see three numbers beside to the players avatar, perhaps the third is the number of graveyard, does this mean that the cards in the graveyard can be cast, like Gravecrawler.

Of course to be optimistic, this means more game content and higher AI.thefiremind wrote:You are very optimistic...

Only add a simple counter really changed too little, that is easy to achieve in D13, there also have some effects need to count the grave, like Visions of Beyond.

I'm just hoping to see actual Planeswalker cards implemented, even if it's just the basic ones. With coding knowledge we could then implement any 'walker we wanted, so long as Planeswalkers are fully fleshed-out as a card type by the core code.
Then again, you'd think they would announce that sort of thing as a major selling point for the game, so perhaps we won't be so lucky...

I'd at least like to see a 'Planeswalker Mode' where your deck revolves around a planeswalker - sort of like Commander but doesn't have to be single cards.
I'm not really sure why we haven't had Planeswalkers. In terms of new players understanding a different type of card they can think of them like a Legendary Enchantment with Sorcery speed effects. Not a huge leap.

The "official explanation" probably has something to do with the rules around planeswalkers and their revolution of gameplay... which isn't totally wrong, because the damage redirection from player to planeswalker isn't something you get used to in a moment. Anyway I think that the real explanations is another: a wider range of available cards means taking DotP closer and closer to MtG Online, which is something that Wizards doesn't want to happen.Aarala wrote:I'm not really sure why we haven't had Planeswalkers.

I'd be quite happy even just with the real Commander... since they changed from Archenemy to Planechase, the next change should be from Planechase to Commander. But that page with the "beta achievements" doesn't mention Commander anywhere so my hopes aren't very high.Aarala wrote:I'd at least like to see a 'Planeswalker Mode' where your deck revolves around a planeswalker - sort of like Commander but doesn't have to be single cards.

They already mentioned that they wont do commander. Their explanation was something along the lines that since you run 1 of every card it would pretty pointless as a way of introducing Magic to a new player. So don't get your hopes high for that mode.thefiremind wrote:I'd be quite happy even just with the real Commander... since they changed from Archenemy to Planechase, the next change should be from Planechase to Commander.

EDIT:
Here is what they said on Commander:
http://www.toptiertactics.com/15974/the ... ken-troop/
T3: After Archenemy and Planechase, Commander seems like a natural inclusion for the next Duels game. While we don’t expect you to confirm that (though you’re certainly welcome to), what would be the design challenges associated with Commander’s inclusion in a future Duels game?
KT: We’ve discussed Commander in the past and decided against it, despite it being a great game experience. It’s just such a new-player unfriendly experience – the 100 card decks, the singleton rule, the general power level and complexity of the typical cards in the format – all of that makes for a potentially bewildering experience for new players.

Look at the reflections, especially on the first picture: where was this guy playing at? A warehouse? A factory?

This is from PAX East which is a few blocks from where I am at. The game is being showcased there (for the next 3 days) and anyone who bought a ticket can go there play the game and talk to the developers. I tried to get a ticket but they are 150. :/ A coworker has the 3 day pass that I am trying to see if I can borrow from him.thefiremind wrote:Look at the reflections, especially on the first picture: where was this guy playing at?

Thanks a lot for the info, NEMESiS!

In the footage video you can hear "this summer", I guess it will be released in the same period of the year as DotP2013.Takhen wrote:When this is going to be published?
