Added another German fan site.  Apparently this is going to be bigger than David Hasselhoff over there.

 

Nice one.

You are most certainly welcome.  Honestly, its folks like you that I had in mind when taking on this particular project.

Added a little more ally info.  Also, this serves as a bump back to the first page.

Thanks for all the FAQs and infos, this is great !However I'm curious about the artwork. (And yes I'm very picky about artwork in Trading Card game.)

I had a look at the 16 pieces of samples on the site and to be honest some (like 40% of them) dont really look very attractive at all. So do you guys have any plan on updating/improving the artwork ?

Like there're a lot of drawings from a guy signed "SamWise" on WoW's wallpaper page, and I mean a lot of his drawings. THAT, is quality artwork. Could we have more like his ?

LOLZ...I know this is asking a lot, but it might obviously help the Card Game in one way or another, I think !...

Again, thanks for all the responds ^^ See you soon, in Azeroth... /chuckle

Well, art is a pretty sbjective thing. You may not like it, but some people probably think it's great.

They have one card in the art gallery by Samwise - Kulan Earthguard - I assume that's not his only piece in the set.

I would assume that nearly all the artists for this set have either done stuff for Magic, VS, or Blizzard. They also have some pretty big artists like Boris Vallejo, Greg Hildebrandt, Todd McFarlane.

All that said, of the art in the gallery, I personally don't care for -
Vanquish
Barman Shanker
Seal of Wisdom
Lorekeeper Darian
Kailis Truearc
Backstab
Ophelia Barrows
Galahandra

I think the coolest one is Zygore Bladebreak - but that just be because it looks semi-realistic.

I'd like to request that any discussions not directly pertaining to the FAQ be made in separate threads.

Please??? :-)

What about tradeskills?  I want to make my character an Arcanite Reaper!
Tradeskills will be important in future releases.

 

To add more detail: Tradeskills will be important starting with set #3. Things like Arcanite Reaper will be usable by anyone, but things like Gnomish Mind Control Helm, Glimmering Mithril Insignia, Smoking Heart of the Mountain will require the appropriate trade skill.

Anyone of the appropriate class, right? You're not saying tradeskills give you access to things your class would otherwise not have access to.

 

Correct, of the appropriate class and sometimes even talent spec (like Shamans need a certain talent before they can use two-handed axes and maces).

Rogues do it from behind!

im glad things are shaping up like this.  it looks like a great change of pace from other games.  maybe similar in general gameplay but the little tweeks they have added look like challenging fun.

After  a decade of trading card gaming I have to be honest...at least now...there is nothing really new in this CCG.
It looks lika a very good combination of several other good aspects of existing trading card games.
