Customized Quest options.
by Corwin72 » 11 Jul 2011, 14:02
For the past few months I have been frustrated with how difficult quest mode is. My answer is to customize the quest.preferences file and easy.txt medium.txt and hard.txt
When I plan to play for a day or so this is the quest.preferences change that I use.
I also add all easy decks to the medium deck list and all medium decks to the hard deck list.
Does anyone else edit their files?
If so how?

The Quest Mode has recently been improved to give a larger starting pool, you should give it a try. It's surely not 1000 cards, but it does help a lot. I think the key to doing well early on in the Quest is having an 0/2 or higher Plant Wall to help slow the AI down while your deck doesn't have as much cohesiveness.
The Quest mode also has more card availability in the Card Shop early in the Quest.

Sloth added an overlap when you advance from one tier to the next. During this overlap you will face a tier 1 deck with two tier 2 decks for example.
I am not sure how long this overlap lasts. Maybe this overlap should last for more wins if you are playing at an easier level?

I forgot about the pets. I never buy them. You are right they drastically change the difficulty.
