I don't really enjoy playing the Orgnum deck. If one player decides to use the patron every turn you are forced to as well or you will lose.

Yea, exactly! I don't choose Orgnum precisely because of these dynamics. When the other person selects it, I try to keep the dial in my favour and refuse to use it unless my oponent flips it back. It reminds me of a damage-focused couple of proc sets that take the fun out of PvP in Cyro for me.

Yesterday I was playing a match against a person who chose both the Rajhin and Orgnum decks. They were trying to troll me by waiting out the full 1 and a half minute EVERY SINGLE TURN instead of letting me have my turn and spamming my deck with Rajhin cards while discarding the rest of their coins instead of buying useful cards for themselves.

So I bought as many cheap cards as I could and let them continue spamming Rajhin cards. When I had a good stack of cards, I started using the Orgnum patron. They conceded the match.

That's a super fun and creative outwitting of and capitalizing on the Rajhin.

How rude. I've only played a few games against players, but have tried to take my turns as quickly as I could. I guess that's one reason there's a time limit.

Although (getting back to the topic of the thread, even though I believe this has been mentioned before, it bears repeating) - it would be much nicer to have an indicator for the timer. A bar would do, or a circle, or a digital count down - I don't care WHAT. Just something that actually gives a visual indication of how much time remains.

An audible indication also, might be nice. A pleasant little sound at 30 seconds, 15, 10, 5, perhaps.

Edit: Fixed formatting.

The person has been really rude to me, calling me names and saying horrible things. I blocked them, so they can't send me messages anymore and now they are trying other tactics. There aren't many players to play competitive matches against on the pts, so the groupfinder frequently matches me with them.

I don't mind people taking however long they need for their turn, but it is rude to deliberately not end their turns after finishing their moves in 10 seconds.

The hourglass turns over when you are getting near the end of your turn. But a better visual indication would be nice.

I also had the pleasure of playing our relentlessly toxic Tribute tester, not using the hourglass when they don’t like your decks and even saw their insults and rage tweets about you in the zone chat. I hope you reported them.

On the PTS, it’s too hard to avoid a specific player. If they aren’t banned, I will go do something else until High Isle goes live. It’s not worth the aggravation to suffer through their temper tantrums over a mini-game in test phase.

Just like in the Alliance War and Battlegrounds, if new players are bullied, swore at and insulted, they are not going to stick around and learn to play. The card players will be stuck playing the same 20 players who have been learning on PTS.

I'm really enjoying the game. Thankful for the other players who are playing ToT in order to test, and ensure a good experience for us all when it goes live.

Naomi_K

I didn't see their comments in zone chat, since I had blocked them. I guess they switched to zone chat because they couldn't whisper me anymore. I did report them a few days ago.

How to get Red Eagle, King of the Reach Card Deck?

I can't find the achievement and can't see it in fragments.

phantasmalD

You get it for finishing the tournament questline, iirc.

On the question of finishing your move on time, there is a potential benefit for your opponent, especially if they are new to the competitive game, in that they gain almost twice as much time to consider their own move

What in the world were you thinking with all these rewards taking up space,we literaly must clean up trash from inventory after opening tribute containers.Fix this asap we don't need fredas nightmare or other random never used foods or other junk.Did the person that thought of this ever log in to play ESO...

Macsen

Just gave up on this game. Way too incomprehensible to me. watched several You Tube explanations. Was playing a NOVICE NPC, kicking his lil butt. somehow he pulls out cards from HELL and draws 27 prestige points in one turn ONE TURN. If it were the wild west I'd have shot him for cheatin at cards.

WTF is wrong with this?!?!?!? I will NOT go and play a part of the game designed to *** me off. DONE>
