No way in hell does Krystenax needs to be nerfed. Other wise heā€™ll go the way of Visk. Heā€™s balanced as it is. TBH if any buffs are needed itā€™s to TDS with a party cleanse. That will make Dragons back in the game and have a solid impact. ---

I do remember those times, and you might be right. I currently would prefer those days, much simpler times my friend. Lol At least in the sense that we only had a few spells/traits to look out for. Now you can get your face blasted off in quite a few different ways. Stale though, yes. ---

Iā€™d imagine they were staler than you remember, considering it was always the same thing no matter who you fought with very little exception providing any form of challenge. At least now there is some differentiation in team comps, meaning more strategies, meaning more counter teams to trial. (Provided youā€™re not stuck facing the same person over and over.) ---

I think I started playing a little bit before that era hit. I wasnā€™t playing nearly as much as I do now as a PoR. So thatā€™s why I might be a little bit biased. Would you trade any of the cheap mechanics from back then that we have now? Because my experience thus far is that it has increased tenfold. Which imo hasnā€™t increased anything gameplay wise except maybe hassle and acting as a speed bump at the same time. Without a doubt goblins or rockworms were the worst,lol. Not to mention stale, but I would in-fact trade for those mechanics. I never had a problem beating either one though. They created a stale pvp 100%, agreed. ---

Has anyone reported to @Sirrian that the Lady Ironbeard pack only advertises a single Arcane Shield stone? I donā€™t pay attention to the global chat. ---

Meanwhile, balance changes are great steps in the right direction, especially EK, though cost could go up even further really. @Shimrra is right that Krystenax needs toning down, itā€™s basic maths better than anything similar. Famine I think is largely okay, could see a slight increase to mana cost. Agree the other Apocalypse Horsemen really need buffing. ---

Lady Ironbeard pack gave me only 1 traitstone in 1 out of 3 purchases!!! First 2 was 2x Shield, but next one gave me only 1. I thought I was seeing things because I totally saw it gave 2x initially. I know it was advertising falsely, but I feel ripped off! I think I spent glory on 6 packs thinking I could get the 11 I need but had to spend on 8. ---

we should have been killing peasants and raiding cities to ā€œhunt her treasureā€ xD isnt that how dragons normally gather it? but yeah its only fair to give ppl reason to burn those extra maps they just got last week šŸ˜… that new troop balancing makes me want to try some looping venoxxia silent one defense šŸ˜† it would probably be weak in most times but otherwise evil, somebody stop me šŸ˜… edit: lady ironbeard looks too good for her husband (he doesnt even have eye pupils i cant imagine them together with this graphic style difference šŸ˜­ ) ---
