Is This Game Dead?

[Tick Tock (Tim)]

It's been over a year and a half since Eternal launched a new set. Are they done? Are there going to be no more sets? Are we stuck in Hunt/Devour limbo forever?

[Super!]

They just rotated expedition format and new cards are on the way. enjoy!

" new cards are on the way. enjoy!" Are u sure? I gave up many months ago, have over 5000 hours on Eternal, and have played it casually since it started, but after the Omniscience crap card—and as I said, NO SETS FOR AGES—I switched back to Magic: The Gathering and have spent 700 dollars there on packs. The new set that came out on Arena on April 8 was bonkers :D

yes, it is dead. i seriously doubt we will see another set. has been waaaaay too long already since one dropped.

There is no waiting for games and it looks like chapters are the way we get new cards. We have gotten enough new cards in chapters to equal a new set. Not dead.

True, you might still be able to PvP but the game is far from healthy. They had such a good thing going and never capitalized on it. At some point, a few years back, when MtGA was ♥♥♥♥♥, Direwolf did not exploit players frustration to suck them into Eternal. No communication, no marketing, badly organized tournaments, the list goes on and on. however, this is still my all time favorite card game. too bad I am always putting my money on the "wrong" companies..

The chapters are a good thing, but I don't think a whole bunch of them adds up to the equivalent of a new set. New sets age out old cards out of the game. That hasn't happened for a long time.

You can still log in and play (I'm not sure why you can't). We are talking about them not issuing new sets of cards, which they haven't done for over a year and a half.

It turns out the game still works, thanks for the reply (I know I'm off topic, I just have a sudden problem with the game and I don't know how to fix it).

It's a shame that they're neglecting this game. It is a great game, with good mechanics, artwork, sound effects, etc. Before the Hunt and Devour mechanics were introduced and basically ruined the game, it was much more fun than MTG. Mechanics like Warcry and Revenge made this game more fun, better and more interesting than what is its biggest competitor; Magic the Gathering. But, I guess MTG introduced "Mill," which is basically "Hunt" by another name, so the ECG makers decided to follow their lead down a bad rabbit hole. It seems that the game has gone downhill ever since, because they just stopped making new sets.

Hate "mill/hunt" its no fun. I just leave the match i meet a counter and milll deck, discard is so lame also. Imagine playing real gards and the only ting u say, nope i cpunter that ACE or king, and u have to discard yout club of then, an u dont get 2 draw, i mull u for 10, u have no cards left 2 draw, u lose the poker game. WTF?? The magic with theese kind of card games is the fantasy and the art on the card, and if u dont get too see them or play them whats the funking point! Counters, discard , and mill (hunt) deck , i just leave, find new opponent who wants to play and have FUN! But that is smart in ETERNal, thar u only can COUNTer Spells, like sorcery and instants, not Sites and creatures :D LIke u counter fire with fire (magic against magic) :)

I don't like the Hunt/Devour mechanics either. They have completely changed the way I play the game. There are sooo many decks played in Gauntlet that you pretty much have to make an anti-hunt deck to win, which means;
1) You have to make decks with more than 75 cards, which pretty much goes against all of the expert advice on deck construction. All of mine are now 150 cards.
2) To counter Hunt, you must have yellow, blue, green or a combination of these colors, as red and purple do not have counters to it. This excludes a lot of great cards and combinations.
3) You must, of course, include plenty of copies of the counter cards in your decks, which limits deck construction.

It is an unbalanced game to begin with, so it is not even alive. DWD is a bad game maker.
