We need changes to TOT

The way this card game now works and is based on 99.99% of RNG BS is just ridiculous. Not only that but I would bet my account gold that it even selects on the start which side it keeps favouring to win. I don't mind about SOME amount of RNG and I don't mind about losing a game or two but when the bad RNG focuses on you and you have that 20th game in a row where you can do absolutely nothing but to watch how the game keeps feeding best cards to your opponent and giving just the right cards at the right time so that they can humiliate you and have an easy big number win, while doing the exact opposite on your turns is just disgusting. There is just no way to counter it with the little actions you can actually take in this game.

If I could remove something from this game by deleting game files in my PC folder, TOT would be removed instantly. Now I know I don't have to play it but while there is such a thing in the game and sometimes you just have that spare time and wonder "what should I do now", you end up playing it. I think that whatever content this game has, it should work and it should be enjoyable and good. I also know that some people actually like this card game as it is ( very hard to believe this to be true ), but I trust it to be somewhat general wish that they would change how this game works and leave more for us players to do and use tactics to claim the victory. Some amount of RNG is a spice that can even get you little excited, but too much just makes you want to stop playing at all.

    Yea, most of the ways that the designers have changed the game has caused wins to be even more dependent and deterministic based on who goes first or the first couple of cards that show up in the tavern. Depressing.

    This commemoration is for the class that has constantly been plundered and dismantled by designers for no obvious reason while other classes continue to have coherent skill lines and feel both powerful and cool.

    It's pretty shallow for a card game, and many design choices (like full communism) aren't conducive to good gameplay, but it beats re-running a “random” Fungal Grotto I, so…

    If ToT had been a proper deck building game instead of whatever "pray that the tavern gives good cards" simulator it is, I'd enjoy it a lot more tbh.

    I would be happy with just little adjustments to reduce RNG.

    The game seem to have other issues too like this: I have collected leads to decks that gives me upgrade to some cards but when I choose to play said deck it still gives non-upgraded cards because my opponent miss the better versions. Shouldn't it be that when I am the one choosing the deck it is my card collection that is added to the game. What is the point of gathering those better versions in the first place ?

    Not all cards are “promoted” after you collect an upgrade, usually it's half or 2 out of 3.
