I may have missed the boat with land, but they are really dragging out the implementation.
Its been going on for over a year now. Better to get it right than rush out something that will tarnish the reputation of it.
I heard someone saying that the bots are a good thing as it means you can always find an opponent. It does mean the number of players is inflated. I wonder how many are humans.
Having recently dragged 2 accounts out of Bronze into the Gold league.. I can say that until you get into Gold you are playing mostly BOTS. The coding behind them is good these days, they are tough opponents.
They are tough to beat even when they are all L1 and I have better cards. I can only get to Silver I as my best cards are all for rent. It's a bit of daily fun anyway.
Hmm, I don't find the Silver league fun at all, Gold is where the strategy starts and you have to outthink your opponent. If they are called Enminers-171, of course.. you know they are not real.
True. I think a spellbook should include some credits. Not much, but enough to rent cards.
So people can start with 10 bucks with theoretical close to every card they want (for now every card is cheap to rent).
My opponents do not have the obvious bot names we have seen in the past. I have to find some compromise between rental income and the cards I actually use to play. I'm not buying many cards though. Maybe I should before they get stupid expensive.
