I made so many posts on this subject in the old mega GD and a few of the subforum GDs, I really, really dislike League's model, and Heroes seems even worse. | ||

Gotta buy what you want to get anywhere. The grind is at least possible in LoL/hots/Smite /whatever, but considering said 'grind' in mtg' is also based on a certain win rate and the ability to continually play, not to mention being at the mercy of the rng gods as to what you manage to get... Even getting a full set of cards simply by playing is way easier in HS. | ||

It's interesting that when HoN moved from being a full paid game to F2P, they didn't retain the full unlock as a purchasable option, and instead made it a limited feature relegated solely to legacy accounts. I think that was a questionable move, but it probably didn't change the fate of the game regardless. EDIT: I also thing being able to buy stats resets/sub accounts is an awful idea, but whatever. | ||

I read about 'going infinite' on MTGO yesterday and it just sounds so unappealing to me. All the guides are like 'NEVER PLAY LIMITED EVER YOU FUCKING MORON' But it's what I like  | ||

It's about being able to earn enough tickets from your wins to continue doing so without spending real monies? | ||

You can do it in constructed queues as well. It's technically better value for going infinite because you don't have the cost of the cards you're keeping at the end and the variance of drafting. | ||

I dunno about how Smite is doing (probably pretty well considering the World Championship had a good payout and audience), but everyone I know who plays Smite more than once or twice has the God Pack. Man, if I could grind out games in Warhammer and get a squad per like 10 wins I'd be fuckin all over the place getting people to play with me lol. 20 games per week npnp. | ||

I never got into constructed for mtgo because I was playing paper constructed and did not want to have to double dip. @owb - only do it if you really plan on getting into it/you're ok with 100% spending a bunch of money at least with HS, you can get everything fo' frizzle (technically) | ||

Given the cost of a constructed deck, you may not actually lose money at a fast enough rate in Limited for going infinite in constructed to be worth it, depending on how much you play. | ||

If that doesn't constitute a grind, I don't know what does. | ||

I realize I may not be an amazing example as I'm very slowly slipping down the rabbit hole but at least if my addiction gets worse it can be a 'do as I say not as I do' kinda thing. And soniv you said you never got into MTGO constructed... Do you own the game? | ||

On February 04 2015 04:46 TheYango wrote: Ok, I just read the SCG article for going infinite in MtGO, and it suggests playing Momir Basic tournaments (as in, you start the game with Momir Vig, Simic Visionary and have a deck with 60 basic lands) until you have enough tickets to buy into a constructed format. If that doesn't constitute a grind, I don't know what does. That's one way of doing it, but also realize many of those guides are super outdated. As of now momir basic dailies (the only ones with an EV worth anything) are 3 times a week at like 9:30 in the morning on weekends. (lol I only learned what momir was yesterday too) I think were I to attempt to go infinite I'd first have to see what daily times work for me (I'd try pauper, for example) otherwise I'd just suck it up and get the cheapest T1.5 constructed deck I could make and learn. | ||
