Posted April 8 Those are some pretty significant design changes… Not sure how I feel about changing the game design so significantly post release… feels a bit George Lucasey for my liking… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, anything that makes those stakes where the ante goes up more bearable is fine by me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 8 (edited) 3 hours ago, Glen-i said: Just say you don't approve of the Vampire nerf, we all know you're thinking it. It’s actually not strictly a nerf. It means that it won’t eat your Steel Cards you have in your hand anymore; meaning that Vampire + Steel Joker sets are now viable. In that sense, it’s a bit of a buff in that it gives you more control over what you want to feed the Vampire card with now. That halved mult increase is a pretty brutal nerf though… to the point where Vampire might not be worth using at all anymore.

Posted April 12 The experimental patch makes Orange and Gold Stake actually fun to play. I really enjoy the changes. However, one thing is annoying: The new stickers appear way too frequently. I hope it'll change once the update leaves the beta phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
