Manalink update September 2013 : Onslaught of awesomeness

[Sonic]

I want to have all your babies.

Might be difficult in Korath's case. The Kree are more likely to enslave you, than mate with you.
Unless you happen to be Carol Danvers, of course.

Guys this is like an entirely different game! When you said faster I thought it was going to take 5 seconds to think instead of the usual 8 or something. But there is literally ZERO thinking time now! It's super fast, everything is instant!

I love this game all over again. The speed especially is my favourite new part. But all the new cards and improved mechanics and stuff, really great work.

p.s. Also I made a Birds deck and it whoops major ass.

Never forget to share and don't forget you have some decks of your to convert to default Playdeck project

I forgot about that! I will re-arrange my best decks soon.

this sounds amazing but unfortunately the install has messed up, I did the same thing I've done for every other patch. it keeps coming up with "can not load...." and its something in the card art file. any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Did you do the usual, like to not extract the DraftSets file?
Also beware of special character that may be messed up depending on your OS, especially for the file Aether Charge.jpg

Is there a way to get expansion_symbols.pic without reinstalling this patch update? I didn't install the symbols update and now I cannot run the game after installing the Onslaught update.

Edit by Stassy: post moved to proper section

That would also explain why Sopcich04 can't get the game to run. The Expansion_Symbols.pic file is missing from the patch archive.

@Sopcich04, if you're still having problems, download the Expansion_Symbols.zip from stassy's link - extract the file and put it in the games CardArt folder. That should solve the problem.

@Gargaroz - can you remember to put the Expansion_symbols.pic file in the patch CardArt folder for the V2 release.

Wow, this is really fantastic! Especially the increase in speed, which is now crazy fast. Keep up the good work, guys!

[stassy]

Seems to be the game speed is enhanced by the time reduction/removal of the spell call (the big windows that appears when players "play" something, and the attack window without any stop/possible interrupt that flash in an instant.

One of the downsides I noticed with the default config.txt is that the starting libraries "flickers" a bit (don't know what the game check as deck legality was disabled), and the AI tend to be confused when trying to cast a damage spell against player that has hexproof/shroud creatures : about half the time he will cast it on himself, which generate a facepalm from the opposite player...
