How more obvious do you intend to rigg Gauntlet?
So my deck which has tons of drawing mechanics to not get mana starved whatsoever (and it works for the first 5 wins constantly) suddenly gets always mana starved for 10 turns + when i go into the 6th match.

Please don´t rigg it so obvious because until that point i liked it way more than hearthstone. But don´t start to rigg like hearsthone because then it´s pointless.

It isn't rigged. I consistently make it to the final boss and even win against it in Gauntlet. You're just having horrible luck.

No, it IS slightly rigged. I've tested it countless times. I make it to final boss and win often too, but usually with tried and true decks. Experimenting it's a lot harder. But it's draws are rigged.

Yeah in fact it's kinda bullsh!t. The AI will draw everything it needs constantly with almost no mana flood or mana lack. I wish it would play smarter and not get the draws so consistently, at least then it would be more like playing an actual person.
Game is not rigged.

Yeah its rigged imho. They add mana screw to the difficulty of beating it. Usually around game 4+ .

Kind of annoying they do this, but it's so obvious. I guess too many people were beating it too earn gold so they add mana flood / screw and the AI drawing everything it needs or trying to force people into Ranked / Draft by making the Gauntlet a wall.

Eternal AI can do more with 2 mana than a person with 20 sometimes. It's unreal how it gets the chains of cards it needs for any situation.

Ah well, what can you do. Can't prove it, but after likely well over 1000 games, there is a very real pattern to it.

"rigged" might be a bit heavy, but it is undeniably modified in the later stages to remove mana from draw/redraw. Absolutely beyond argument - I am with all those above. There definitely seems to be a further pattern to the luck of the AI vs a players, but i'd say there's a slight lean on the odds of the AI pulling just the right card.

It is rigged and a huge waste of time. It is only good for testing your deck. You can win a few but you will always get mana screwed.

Come on, have your ever ever ever seen that AI was out of mana? Need good luck and rng to beat the rigged ai
Pimento Apr 27, 2017 @ 2:48am 
Ok i revise my statement. after non-stop gauntlet for the last however many hours, not once did the AI ever have a mana shortage, while I had more than 50% of my games start (including redraw) with 2 max.... followed by 6-7 turns of none.

Absolutely utter Rigged ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

u kno i read about something like this once

o ya "salem witch trials"

u point at someone and shout "witch!"

then a lotta people pile on and shout "witch!"

then you have a barbecue :steamhappy:

except the witches aren't invited :steamfacepalm:

cos they witches :steammocking:

==

does anyone here post decklists? no. just have their word that their decks are good

does anyone here post decklist of gauntlet decks? no. just have their word that gauntlet decks are running off some kinda unstable power base, as well as other assertions

now yeah maybe the game IS rigged and maybe there ARE witches running around

but shouting very loudly and indignantly only is shouting very loudly and indignantly

let's see some hard evidence before having the barbecue

i be preppin the ribs and chicken wings now :steamhappy:

ok and vegetable skewers for you vegetarians :steamhappy:

(but nothing for witches :steammocking: )
Oh, no, there's certainly rigging, it doesn't start from game 4+, it often starts in game 1 with mana screw. Sometimes in game 1 you can end up facing a perfectly curved out enemy who plays soulfire drake into soufire drake and so on! /sarcasm

Or maybe variance? Maybe you should argue that they rig ranked as well since you can get manascrewed there? Or in draft you can get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ packs? Is that rigged too?

We've repeated this a number of times (it's in the FAQ), but there is no rigging of draws or shuffling in any of these gauntlet or forge games (aside from redraw protection for the player that everyone is aware of). The boss decks are better/harder decks, and you do face harder decks the better you do, but there is no manipulation of the shufflning.

:steamhappy:

but seriously, if you're running 1/3 power your 3-drops won't be reliable without power fixing (and even then it's iffy).

and stuff like Initiate of the Sands is vulnerable to removal, and Voice of the Speaker requires additional power draw so doesn't produce a 3rd power either

maybe you run that kinda stuff too and just didn't draw it that game -

but a lotta players that complain about rng and stuff seriously gotta learn to build decks. even if you're not one of 'em.

it's like -

if you go to a casino and keep letting everything ride on black, when you eventually lose, it's not because the wheel was rigged. Maybe the wheel was rigged, sure, but the decision to keep riding your luck sure didn't help.

over and over and over and over....(i copy good decks , do tweaking here and there, and there IS
enough mana in these decks and enough fetch cards. I love this game, bought 4 boxes since Dec to support them, but if this isnt fixed, the game is done. It just is. =( people are not going to pay for, and earn cards they cannot play.

I chose the wrong word in saying rigged perhaps, but something it NOT right.

I lost track of how many cards I discarded being over the 9 limit in this game as I couldnt
get anything. and again, this isnt a one time thing.. oh lets take it to the forums and cry...
its constant.
