Please explain? O_o lol

Sweet, I really look forward to the new patch. I've put many hours into grinding the ladders and theory crafting decks. Once patch comes out let's get together and play.

Some of the new cards are really cool. I have been theorycrafting quite a bit since the spoilers came out. I'm glad this expansion is finally hitting, cause otherwise I would have just moved on to solforge when it came out and forgot about this game, as of now I'm still gonna play solforge (since it offers drafts and automated tournaments), but I have regained interest in shadow era. Now I just need to qualify for the SE world championship, my 12th place in the america regionals needs to be put behind me .

This is a pretty nice game!! I'm enjoying it.
Take care with the special offers though... some are pretty fishy and malicious. I loaded up a virtual families for another deck and had to fish through 20minutes of attempts to install crap on my comp. it was easy to clean up after, but I'm guessing most of those deals are loaded with trojans.

I don't even know if those special offers work, and I never trusted them, the only thing I've ever done was the free shadow crystal link on the shadow era forums, it gives you between 100-200 crystals.

I don't know if it's still working though.
In order to get a playable constructed, tournament worthy deck, you need to spend about 5-10$ or grind for awhile, I think I've spent 20$ and have almost everything now, I don't have any of the foils though.
If you play in the tournaments on the forums, almost all tournaments give away shadow crystals. A 16 man tournament will usually give 1000 shadow crystals for 1st, and 500 for second. That's 10 booster packs or elemental starter decks.

Fun little game for smartphones. Haven't gotten around to playing vs actual players yet but I dig it.
|
I stoped playing because I didnt want to play 100 games vs the AI to get enough cards for the multiplayer. Shame because its pretty cool
|
the rewards for playing in real players quick matches are increased by a substantial margin. If you have stable internet, I'd say dont' bother with the AI (particularly if you dont' care about your rating). You get 100xp on a QMatch loss, and 400xp and 80g on a win. Considering levels and the currency that comes with them are just as important as gold, doing the MM system makes a lot of sense. If you're trying out a new deck, you can quickly leave games and tank your rating as well.

http://test.shadowera.com/
for those of you wanting to try out the multiplayer part of the game, different decks, etc without spending $, and for those of you wanting to test and try out the new cards, the test server is live(for awhile at least, until they are done testing the new set).
- your account is separate from the main game servers - all cards cost just 1g - you have 500g
it's only available on PC

The expansion is out on the live server now, so for anyone looking to update their ios device/android device, it should be there, it's a new app on IOS i believe.
|
New patch is here, 150 new cards... www.shadowera.com
Really amazing free online card game, a ton of depth and well.. explore for yourself. If you are waiting on Hearthstone and don't want to get into MTG (or just tired of magic like me lol) then this might be for you.

Actually tried picking this up a couple of times and then my mind screamed "No0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0" because it was a massive timesink and would actually eat my life.
Maybe i will give it a try and attempt to limit myself, Pufftree's expect over 9000 PM's soon.
|
Haha yea, it's very addicting Capped. Message me anytime, maybe some practice games for fun too!
I'm just starting the Expansion and will stream, going to buy some boosters, theory craft some decks, and play.
Come by with questions etc! SHADOWERA STREAM

Ahhh, love some of these new cards + Show Spoiler +
Going to stream and commentate a bit while I play and build a mage deck. If you are pro please give me some tips but if you are new drop on in to check it out! Shadow Era Stream

The review of this game was positive, so I downloaded it and found it very interesting.
|
Used to enjoy this game, and definitely enjoyed it enough in comparison to my zero dollars investment to warrant a positive review. I tired of this game very quickly though. The gameplay wasn't dynamic enough because the card pool is largely fixed. The grind to get more cards and increase the flavor of the gameplay is disproportionately huge. I don't feel the game is polished and interesting enough to warrant an pay investment, coupled with the fact that the gameplay isn't interesting/varied enough to stomach the interminable grind for cards, has driven me from this game in the hopes that Solforge and/or Hearthstone satiate my CCG itch. Honestly, the only one I think has a chance is Hearthstone with the free drafting ranked multiplayer.

I played this game for some time. I also played lots of Mtg and some other tcg.
I have to say, this is an amazing game for anyone with little experience with deep tcg. For most tcg veterans, this game is just very flawed by design (as i said, for the veteran pov, not relevant for any casual) . Also, there are some mayor imbalances in several match ups.

Hearthstone won't be supporting competitive play though, at least that's the news I heard from PAX .
I am looking forward to Hearthstone/Solforge as well, quite a bit, but without tournaments, etc, Hearthstone won't have what I want, compared to Solforge which is planning tons of tournaments, etc.
I am currently playing Might and Magic Duels of Champions, its out in NA and it's worth a look, IOS and PC.
Of course the best DCG imo is Magic Online, but yeah..
Shadow Era is pretty shallow I agree, but the new expansion has added a few new cards, it hasn't changed the gameplay much.
