Featured Card: Nightshade

ok 2 things. 1) what darkness? it makes u invisable :p and 2) only thing i dont like about this card is that you have a shadow when your invisable. if your invisable then what is stopping the light? there should be no shadow.

other then that AWESOME CARD!

I second all previously brought up arguments by LOBO :p

Does it just add damage?

It is a modifier, Nightshade adds additional damage to your attack.

yes its just a mod with a different animation.

and a different skill category :(

Hey Guys,

We have a couple of new card categories in the works that will add elements to the game other than attack and defend.

We're balancing bug fixing, small requests, big requests, feature development, a server overhaul, etc. We're trying to scatter things so that we have new stuff to announce fairly regularly. We're about to put our heads down and crank out a few needed bug fixes that are blocking a lot of people from playing the game.

Once that's done we're going to try to wrap up our server redesign. The server will facilitate the next big chunk of our design to be implemented.

If you look at this page you'll see the full extent of the cards we're working to get in place.

Thanks,

Tal.

Sure, but I know for a fact that page is messed XD Tanks, spelling errors, fanciful ideas... Needs a clean up.

While this would be cool: http://www.gamingtarget.com/images/media/games/PC/Rise__Ruin/002.jpg
How would that really fit in with the story and the implied mideval era that the game is supposed to be taking place in?

yeah i was thinking that too. i dont knwo about the midevil era but why would they be using swords and hammers if they had tanks and guns and stuff at there disposal?

also a side note: i think using a tank would kinda ruin the "alien" feel of the game. i mean ok they came up with sharp sticks and big heavy things o the end of sticks, any race could come up with that. but a tank is very human. if they r going to have tanks atleats make them not look liek they r from earth.

again my goal in all RPGs is to staty as far awya from humans and earth as posible. all grat scifi shows got ruined when they went to earth. i remembe rin my day....ramble...talk....ect...

Yup, I felt that way too, when I recently looked at our old tank video footage. It doesn't seem to fit. But that's just part of the game development 'game': Some things you can accurately plan and design ahead of time, and some... not so much.

:-)

Agreed with LOBO entirely.

We have some cards planned that are designed to introduce breaks to the fiction and play with things a little. Some that are meant to be funny, etc.

We don't plan to do guns, but the tank is a lot of fun. ;)

please dont mess with the storyline. the RPG aspect of the game is really what keeps me intrigued. i like a gane to take its storyline seriously. when you start doing things that obviously dont go with the story it starts making the whole game feel cheesy.

it anoyed me to no end when runescape would do that. having figures from books (king arthur and the like) show up or doing parodies of pop culture things. again i play rpgs (or in this case RPG style games) to get away from things i see everyday. the last thing i want to see in my game is things that remind me of what i see on TV all the time.

if your going to be funny in a game with a non-funny storyline (i.e. WAR) then it has to be something that would be funny to someone who was in this war, not to someone that is playing a game where they are pretending to be someone who is in a war. you have to keep the 4th wall intact. i dont want to be reminded that i am not really a ralak solider.

Ha ha, Exactly. I would be totally fine and even welcome things that break the story line if they were only single events that only happen on occasion. Like for one day everyone gets a wicked-sauce tank, but then after that we go back to being engaged in the story line. Or dragons. I want a dragon. :D

However, if things like tanks are going to be always in use in peoples decks, that will just break the 4th wall every battle. Not good. All I think I would really want would be new animations, maybe cards that have you sneak up on your enemy, etc.

umm....we are dragons...

and based on the mods booster deck packaging it seems we will be able to call upon the power of our ancestors sometime soon.
