Ixamyakxim: So, if anyone out there has a beta access code for this I'd love to try it. I *think* I'm about ready to take the plunge and reading these threads sort of tempts me to dive in.
Make sure you ask me by PM first though - I'm still on the fence about Galaxy and I'm subject to change my mind about whether or not I want to use it by the time I'm offered a code.
As an aside, if I do get Galaxy can I have it "leave alone" my installed GoG games? I don't want it to autodetect and start installing / reinstalling / downloading / moving etc my already installed games.
And finally, can we pick players to have games with? If I want to have a "friendly" match to learn the ropes with "User X" can we set that up? Or is it all handled through official matchmaking? If not, does it involve the friends list? I currently don't use it (the forum version - obviously I don't use the Galaxy friends list either LOL).
Haven't got a spare code unfortunately but I can answer some questions.
Technically I think you can, but it may depend on a few things. Most of my Gog games aren't added but it did auto add Halcyon 6 and Divinity OS, probably because they were quite new installers, without any input from me. You can of course turn off auto updates (individually for each game, the global switch hasn't been implemented yet) so you can stop it effecting any games it does happen to pick up.
You can, but it is based on the Gog / Galaxy friends list. I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how it works as far as rewards etc. go but the option is there.
Most games will be played against random strangers through the ranked or casual matches.
adaliabooks: Yeah, weather is my least favourite aspect of the game. Can really screw over a number of strategies...
I don't play as Monsters much (yet to get enough decent cards from boosters to make a good deck) but I play against them a lot. It gets a bit boring because most decks seem to go for the same strategies.
Potzato: I d like weather cards to have something like a duration (3 rounds or something), so there is a "window". I didn't play the last two patches though so maybe the game evolved for the better. Point is : I have ideas for fun decks, but I don't put them in application because they would have no chance against a *weather-ed* (round of applause) deck.
Yeah, just something to help counter it. Considering you can have at least 9 (plus the dual weather cards and any monster weather spawners) weather cards in a deck if you wanted they so a hell of a lot of damage. And if you haven't got a clear sky card or card advantage you're basically screwed... Even if you manage to clear weather you don't get any buffs back.
