Duelyst GG FAQ

[Hellgin]

1. What is difference between the original Duelyst and Duelyst GG?

Duelyst GG was built from ground up using completely new code. All cards are free and unlocked instead of buying orbs and progression. Using the last patch as a starting point we have balanced the game and added new cards. Ladder now uses a MMR system instead of monthly ranks.

2. Can I have my old original Duelyst account back?

No. We have no affiliation with the original duelyst developers and have no way to get any old accounts back.

3. How do link my existing Duelyst GG account to Steam?

Open the steam version and go to your profile. Click edit profile and there'll be an option to link your account. It is case sensitive and can only be done once.

4. Where else can I play Duelyst GG and are all platforms linked?

Apart from Steam Duelyst GG can be downloaded on both Android and iOS (Named "Duelyst" on both). It can also be played on the web at https://duelyst.gg. You can use the same account everywhere and all players play together regardless of platform.

5. How can I have access to cards/cosmetics etc?

All cards are unlocked for free as you start the game. You can unlock general cosmetics and more emotes by subscribing to Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/duelystgg

6. What is the difference between Duelyst 2 and Duelyst GG? Are they related in any way?

Both Duelyst GG and Duelyst 2 are fan projects but they are done by completely different teams. Duelyst 2 focused on an old patch of the game (2 draw, no BBS, about 300 cards) while Duelyst GG started from the last patch (1 draw, yes BBS, more than 800 cards)

7. Is custom mode, e.g. 2 draw in future plans?

Yes, although we plan on adding a single player rouguelike deckbuilder mode first.

8. How do I watch replays?

Go to your profile page, click the eye icon next to the game you want to watch. To watch someone else's replay they need to copy the link (by clicking the paper iron next to the game) and give it for you to click. It will open in a browser tab.

9. How do I reset my password?

Contact us on , https://discord.gg/zz3vk9zk7T

10.Will future cards be added?

Yes, there are already 13 new cards added that was not in the original game, and more planned.

11.Who decides on the rebalancing of cards and meta in Duelyst GG?

All balancing is done by us, but feel free to leave suggestions as we sometimes takes ideas from the community.

12.Can I gain access to cosmetics other than monthly donations to Patreon?

Not yet. But more cosmetics and different ways to gain them is part of future plans.

13.Is there a progression system like in the original Duelyst rather than just pure MMR? Is there a monthly reset? Are there monthly rewards for achieving certain ranks?

The ladder is pure MMR. Only the gauntlet resets monthly with a trophy going to the top player and a ribbon being rewarded to the top 20 players.

14. Are there any resources for new players for Duelyst GG? E.g. VODS, decks, replays, tournaments?

The community is very helpful on the Discord and there are plenty decks and replays there. Watch the latest tournament video by Trozz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYi9-nMc0QY&ab_channel=Protrozz. You can also go to the Wiki https://duelyst.fandom.com/wiki/New_Player_Guides, or duelspot (under legacy) https://duelspot.com/legacy-decks/ but these are slightly outdated.\

800+ free cards? Mad lads, you guys absolute mad lads. Will definitely be playing it on opening day. I can't wait to see how this game progresses.

[ProVegaGamer]

yea 800 cards lmao , awesome.

I have a question though, can you guys add some graphic filters to make the graphic's looks less pixelated.

[Ozasuke]

This is great! Will the ladder at least be seasonal? I'm not looking forward to folks creating alt accounts and climbing them to stuff the top of the ladder.

[Ozasuke]

Oh, and how will the servers be sustained through sales? I'm not sure if the lights can be kept on the longer this game is played when the velocity of sales and Patreon support slows down.

That's a great FAQ, short but explaining properly to all new and returning players about the past Duelyst from CPG and the present projects who brought back Duelyst to be enjoyed again! =) Good luck!

It is a pixelart game so the sprites are supposed to look very pixelated, that said If there is enough demand for it extra filter options are not out of the question in the future.

Apart from patreon we plan on selling cosmetics in the future, that said our operating costs are very low, essentialy just the server costs, anything extra is a bonus and motivates us to spend more time on it but we dont need to draw salaries from it. We wont ever sell cards/boosters.

The standard ranked ladder is currently not seasonal, though this might change. Gauntlet (Draft) is seasonal though, it resets monthly.

Super! I'm looking forward to this!

[Spider3]

Yay almost release time!

I wonder if a 2v2 mode can be thought about. There needs to be more card/board game hybrids that do teams

[Spider3]

2v2 will need a lot of balancing and development. Not that I'm against but it's hardly something that could be seen in the next future.

What could be interesting, is adding to the map in some kinda of "dungeons" mode, some rpg elements like on certain tiles lava or ice (can be crossed, but -1hp/-1movement for example), destructible obstacles to make the board more interesting/strategical, and adding some factions elements: between two opponents, the dungeons belonging to one of them is chosen. Dungeon owner is on the left. there are 3 destructible items (faction-based) on each board part. Opponent on the left, if reaching the right part, and destroy/activate the item (only the general can), the friendly minions around it will gain +x/+y or any other bonus, or the enemy minion will loose -x/-y or any other malus. the opponent on the right by reaching the left side, if destroying the opponent item, will trigger a malus on the enemy minions or general, regardless of where they are.
This is relatively simple to add to the code, it's simply but very effective to make the game very very interesting and not sticking to metadecks only. Not as main mode, but opening the dungeon from time to time adding changes and ruleset on the board would be great IMO.
