Not new player friendly
-The game pairs any 2 players who are available rather than by rank. When there are hardly any new players in the game, you will be paired with long-time players.
-You are given a grace period of playing bots for your first 20 or so games.
-The players have many legendary cards, and Legendary cards can win games nearly on their own.
-I have opened only a couple legendary cards in a month and a half, with very aggressive new player rewards.
-Right now it takes 44 booster packs to get enough crystals to make a legendary. I will have opened maybe 2 Legendaries in those 2 packs.
-In order to be competitive with decks in all aspects, I will need to spend hundreds of dollars, or continue to lose the majority of my games for at least 6 months
-The above de-incentivizes new players who just discovered this game form buying in. Micro transactions have no payoff, and large investments for digital cards is more than most players want to do. Dev needs to work harder on providing a fun path for new players to enjoy the game.Show lessChrispy777
Not new player friendly
Matchmaking in this game is a joke. As a newer player, every opponent I’m playing against has multiple legendaries that can turn the tide on any advantage I create. I’m losing solely by card pool, but legendaries are wayyy too hard to earn. What is my incentive as a new player to keep playing? Am I expected to win 10% of the time for years until I grind out the OP cards?
Yeah really losing interest here.Show lessSome gripes
The game so far is fairly enjoyable. A few things frustrating for a new player-
-The gold bordered cards, needed to complete all strategies, are too low of a pull rate, and too far away in crystals for me to play enough games with non optimal decks to save up for them. I don’t even want to spend money- the goalpost is too far away.
-I played draft once, and will never do it again. Undead are too overpowered in draft, and it shocks me that this made it past playtesting in draft.Show less
