Title: A month away...
Post by: werothegreat on May 11, 2013, 11:19:39 am
We're almost halfway through May, and still we don't even have a concrete release date.  What did we know about Cornucopia at this point in 2011?

Has the Gathering of Friends happened? If so, we knew all the cards.

EDIT: Yes, it has. So there you go. At this point, we knew everything about Cornucopia. Honestly I think it's better this way. It made the wait longer when we knew everything and were just waiting for the physical release.

On the flip side, once all the cards were revealed, we could play them on Iso...

So I'm guessing we're waiting for Origins, then?

Maybe. It could easily be after Origins, though.

They're probably going to want to release the physical set with Goko this time around, most likely.

Also odd - they took down the cover image on the RGG page...

I have the impression Goko won't get the cards before official release this teame, probably due to leaking them for DA.
I think they said on getsatisfaction theyre gonna implement it after the physical release.

We will have Guilds too and the only reason there would be a delay is if there are other important projects whose releases need attention at the same time (e.g. mobile/tablet platforms.) But ideally, it will be online shortly after the physical game.

If they had the information already, they'd be aiming for a synchronous release

If they want to get it out shortly after release, I hope that means they have programmed the cards and have been testing them, or that "shortly" means something along the lines of "after a minimal amount of delay as necessitated by ensuring that the cards don't break the game."

For what it's worth, I'll be at Origins; if the game is available there and we don't have spoilers yet, I'll report back to the mothership ASAP.

Ugh! I will be so pissed if we have to wait a month+ to get the cards. Getting DA was a long ass wait.

Ugh.  All my Dominion zest has been sapped away by Civilization 5 and *its* upcoming expansion, for which a lot more is known.  Knowing stuff about Guilds would be just the thing to get me re-hooked.

I'm surviving on rollercoasters until Guilds. (And I don't like lines, so I don't go to many parks during peak season.)
Title: Re: A month away...
Post by: Watno on May 26, 2013, 04:13:35 pm
Apparently Goko is acually working on Guilds (or using it as a pretext for not making possession useable without photographic memory)

You should try out Mr. Bones' Wild Ride.

It really wasn't a very good design... But that's what happens with #chan/reddit gets a hold of something that has a teeny bit of humor in it.

Holy. Crap. I'm going to be in columbus on the evening of the 12th...

...with my g/f celebrating our anniversary, doing something else (that I'm very much looking forward to). And she hates Dominion. Defo not worth losing the boy points over  :-\

Also, does Origins charge admission? If so, definitely not worth paying a bunch of money for the privilege of buying Guilds early.

EDIT: Actually, it's only $10 for a day pass. That would be worth it (to me)!

Yeah, definitely not worth going to one of the biggest gaming conventions in the world when you're next door.

No, I was frustrated due to lack of information.  But now we have information that there will be information soon!

We're going to see Wicked, the musical. I haven't seen it before. We aren't going to be talking about the political ramifications of Christians and the Pope or something.  :o

But you might end up talking about the political structure of Oz at length.  Or you might end up sleeping through the play while your girlfriend's enamored.  Glhf

The book was better.  And honestly, it's not really the best of Maguire's books anyway.  I recommend Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister.

The book was... weird. And I say this as a diehard Oz fan. But oddly enough, I really liked the fourth book, which I thought was captivating and resolved the series nicely.

No, it's the Hermit who's sitting around waiting to become a Madman.  A Madman does his job and then goes home.

Really?
Title: Re: A month away...
Post by: jbrecken on May 30, 2013, 03:37:41 pm
Really?

Yep.  The Hermit says, "I got rid of your junk and gave you a silver, Boss.  Can I go crazy now?"  And the player says, "No.  I've got a bunch of treasure I want to use this turn; you'll have to wait."

Whereas the Madman says, "Here's a couple actions, and you can double the cards in your hand, and I am outta here!"

Same here. If it's like for DA, it's less than an hour left.

DXV used to post here as well, at least for the later releases of DA.

That card is WACK!

Remember how everyone had wet dreams about the 4/5 opening when Nomad Camp came out? This card makes that dream come true. Also,  losses because of opening splits won't be as common with Baker in the kingdom. Although, I guess there will be some instances of people losing to a Goons/Hamlet opening every now and then.

The thing about Baker over Nomad Camp is that you don't have to open Baker to get the higher cost opening.
