Difference between Novice / Adept / Expert

[Josh2.0]

Hi guys,

Hope you're doing well.

Is there any real difference between these 3 difficulties with the AI? Or not really?

Thank You

I think the decks get progressively stronger as you go up.

As to how the AI actually plays? Don't recall, I played novice/adept once or twice just because you have to to unlock the next one (I think).

You get more soul gems at Expert (15 Soul Gems for every win) And u can get 300 per day

I haven't farmed all 3 levels enough to notice any AI differences, but the decks are better as you go higher.

Thank you gentlemen

Currently there are some bugs, where if you make the Expert AI (and/or deck strength) scale too high, the Novice and Adept will do so as well, meaning that, while you might be able to take out the Expert, the Novice will still beat you repeatedly.

Feels like Expert mode has more legendary and good cards.

What?

This makes no sense.

I've probably replied to about a dozen of these threads now, all asking what's wrong with the Practice bots.

I see I might have phrased my earlier comment poorly (and also written some things I before thought were true, but now I'm definitely sure weren't), and I'd like to rephrase that:

Currently there are some bugs that make the Practice bots get way too strong. While you might have earlier been able to beat the Expert bot, you might now have problems beating even the Novice bot. Whether it's the AI or the decks that are too strong/advanced, I do not know, since I've not had this bug myself. This bug does not occur to everybody, in fact the majority of players don't have problems like this at all. This can not be fixed (as far as I know) by anyone else than the devs themselves.

I'd recommend anyone who get this bug to write a ticket to Bethesda Support, and they will have to notice it, and hopefully somehow fix it.

Hopefully they will fix it soon, and you won't have to delete your game.

On the other hand if this unconfirmed bug is real (I doubt it personally) deleting and reinstalling the game may help.
