I’m torn between being afraid of tanking my ladder rank against crazy decks abusing this, and a small part of me wanting to get in on the insanity while it lasts.
Quick, what deck type would be most horrifyingly broken by an out-of-place Wanderer?
hyper swarm. Hyper fucking swarm. imagine 4/2 frenzy wraithlings with furor chakram. Or even with soulshatter pact. 3/3 gloomchasers spawning 2/2 wraithlings. Oh, and did wraithling swarm just summon 3 goddamn 2/2’s? well shit. ah, I almost forgot, that’s the faction that has darkfire sacrifice isn’t it?..
to be fair, if i had wanderer, i really wanted to see how it feels to play a 5/5 warbeast. or 5/8 slashers. or a 4/2 tiger, and a 6/5 elucidator. Damn I wish I had it.
Repeat to yourself, I did not read that, I totally, and honestly, did not read that. Who would write that? That’s like committing a crime, calling the cops and saying “yo this is cool, right?”
Ok, as a person (and not a developer), let me be very explicitly clear (this goes out to any game you’ve ever played, not just Duelyst).
IF SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING AS INTENDED, DO NOT “ABUSE” IT AND RUN THE RISK OF PUNISHMENT
You guys can repeat after me: do not abuse it and run the risk of punishment.
We (the BNEA+CPG partnership as a whole) have been very lenient on how we approach these issues (partially because it affects a relatively small portion of our playerbase, partially because we all make a really tight community) but this is not to say that we won’t ever issue bans, or that people don’t get into trouble.
This is not to say that this mentality will remain the same for current and future issues.
Other company/developers have a strict iron fist when it comes to issues. Depending on the severity of the issues, minor to major actions may be taken.
(Anyone remember when GW permanently banned players for using their npc vendors to get gear?)
MORAL OF THE STORY: If you feel like you have to ask, you probably shouldn’t bother to ask.
And this is why I asked. I didn’t actually know if you guys cared. Because if you didn’t care, then I wasn’t about to go out and run the risk of people running me over because they’re using the glitch and I’m trying to be fair. I would hate that. Since you care, I won’t.
I wasn’t intending to take it to the ladder, but I was considering throwing together a deck to test against a friend in friendly matches (vs. another bug deck) just to see what nonsense we could get up to.
Would it be correct to assume this could also result in punishment, then?
