Does it have a single player mode? If so, is it bigger than Hearthstone's? My disappointment with Heartstone was that it's almost strictly PVP. The video (in your post) looks good, I like the animations and card designs (which I think look a lot like Hearthstone cards). I'm not too sure about the actual game play, it may be something I'd have to try out that I might perhaps enjoy.

Now Free-to-Play!

I like it. It's definitely a lot like Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, but a different game on it's own. I think if someone likes one or both of those games, they should definitely give this one a try, especially since it's now Free-to-Play, there's nothing to lose.

I can't quite decide if I like it better than those other two games. One thing I like about it more than Hearthstone is it seems to have a much bigger and easier to access "Solo" mode. This is something I really wish Hearthstone would expand upon. A lot of Hearthstone's single player mode is locked and you have to pay for it either with real money or in-game currency, which you can get by doing dailies. The problem I have with dailies is that they often require you to win a few matches and Hearthstone's PVP style is pretty much the majority of the game, which is seriously brutal on my self-esteem or self-confidence.

I have an old '92 version of Magic: The Gathering that I really love. Unfortunately, it crashes a lot in Windows 10, but performs nearly flawlessly in a virtual machine that runs Windows XP. I have the 2012 MtG version for the PS3 and enjoyed it. There are many more versions available on Steam. So far, I've only downloaded their demos and played some of them. They're enjoyable and it's tempting to buy at least one of them.

Back to Faeria, I've definitely run into some bugs, so I need to remember to take screenshots so I can report them. The game does crash often. Still, it's fun. It's somewhat difficult to explain how it works, or how you play it, but it's not that difficult to play. Actually, so far it's been pretty easy, at least easier than Hearthstone. It does have it's challenges like Puzzle mode, although those haven't been extremely challenging yet. I think I also ran into an "Epic" quest, which I haven't been able to win yet.

Deck building seems somewhat different than I'm used to. it seems that you choose from categories instead of individual cards. Maybe you can choose them and I just haven't messed with it enough to figure that out yet.

I've pretty much stated my thoughts on it right now already. Although, I may still write a post about it, especially since we should let everyone know that it's now Free-to-Play and an enjoyable game.

I saw on the Steam forums that someone posted a topic that says something like, "stop trying to be Hearthstone." I think the developers should ignore that kind of thinking and continue with what their doing. I think it's different enough from Hearthstone to stand as it's own game. Again, I really wish Hearthstone would get influenced by this game and expand their single player game, at least by making it easier to access at least. Perhaps Heathstone could do that by including wins in it's "Practice" mode more often as dailies, that would make me happier and play it more often.

I'm really enjoying it so far! I just hate the bugs, especially when it crashes. I've started taking screenshots and reporting them. I have one already, but I'm sure I'll collect more.

Thanks for the deck tip, I'll see if I can figure that out. I thought I got some card or cards that give health, I think I need those for the Epic Quest. I started using those Mountain cards like he (Seifer, the AI) is using. His creatures keep killing me because they deal damage to me when they do any combat, it's difficult. Also, I don't know what the numbers below the decks mean. I have a 3.0 deck and some 3.5 decks. I've tried tinkering around with some decks, using the categories so far.

Yeah there are card similarities. If this game gets to be more like Hearthstone that's cool with me as long as it adds to Solo Mode, I don't care about the PVP stuff.

Steam says I've played Faeria for 8 hours. Some of that time is minutes where I ran into issues. Immediately, I couldn't get in, it gave me some error like, "could not find steamid." Then I read on the forums that was due to the fact that they were doing maintenance. It was resolved quickly.

I'm enjoying it, but the frequent crashes suck. I've read others are getting the same error I've seen when they try to click "retry" on a puzzle match. The last one I did, I swore I won, but somehow it said no and therefore restarted, but gave me this error when it did that.

Anyway, I hope it gets resolved soon, so far I think it's a good game.

Wow, considering you've played an earlier version of the game than I have.

I think I'm going to see about looking up some deck building stuff. Most recently I pretty much went with all the red (mountain) stuff and included "Blessings" or one other codex. I think that number at the bottom of the deck is how strong it is, I'm not quite sure yet.

Ugh, now the game is kicking my ass lol.

I have had a couple of Epic Quests and one Puzzle Quest on my Solo list. I'm not high enough in levels to do the Puzzle Quest and the Epic Quests were kicking my ass. However, I was finally able to defeat Aurora after the game gave me a new Daily, which was to play x number of yellow cards. So, I crafted a yellow deck and managed to beat her. Now I'm trying to beat the forest guy, I can't recall his name at the moment.

:) I played it cool and patient at first and it worked out, but then the game stepped up its game, so I had to do the same.

I recently noticed an issue I've seen that others are having, too. One of my Dailies says something pretty much like "lure him out. Fight in Solo Mode until Seifer returns." I've done that, but the daily still shows. I thought I read that a recent patch fixed that though.

Interesting. None of those links are working, either. The first gives a 505 server error, the second says it can't be found or was deleted, and the third says too many people have tried to download it.

If I were a musician I'd call my Pokemon fan fic Polkaman. LOL

I might go see it. Is this supposed to take place during the time the first Death Star was constructed? Isn't that the pilot and main lady in the last Star Wars movie?

Yeah, I thought that was Rey. I thought the pilot was BB-8's pilot. I guess I'm too lazy to look up character names. LOL Anyway, thanks for the clarification, Travis.

I'll have to check out this Monsters movie you mentioned. I assume you're talking about the latest Godzilla movie, which I enjoyed, but I'm not sure I've seen a Godzilla movie I didn't enjoy and I've seen a lot of them (including the one from the '98 or so).

I watched it the same night Travis did apparently, just hours later. I also liked it. I'm going to try to explain my thoughts on it without giving away spoilers (or too much). Unfortunately, it triggered my....let's call it "romantic frustration." It didn't end as I expected (or even as my dark side hoped). Still, it was good. I thought it was dramatically relevant right now as we have a Presidential candidate who wants to build a wall to keep Mexicans out of the USA. Even in the movie we see just how well this might actually work.

Also, be sure to change the global setting in the Nvidia Control Panel. This can be done by right-clicking on your desktop, clicking Nvidia Control Panel, then Manage 3D Settings, then scroll down and make sure "Prefer maximum performance" is selected next to "Power Management mode." See the following link for a visual of what I'm talking about. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3130/~/setting-power-management-mode-from-adaptive-to-maximum-performance

But... what happens if the moon pearl is somewhere in the dark world?

Lately it seems that a lot of video game rumors are true. This would be cool, I enjoyed Starcraft and the expansions. I have Diablo II, but haven't spent much time with it. I've never played Warcraft III. So, I might be interested in all three games, if they make them.

Now there's an awesome idea! =)

We can start a rumor mill post! :)

Sweet! How's the battery life? Does it get hot?

I just noticed in the picture you included in your post that the WASD keys seem to be highlighted. That reminded me of a keyboard change I'd like to see. On most keyboards you'll find that the J and F keys have little protrusions on them so that when you put your hands on your keyboard, you know where the "home keys" are without having to look. I think the WASD keys deserve the same treatment for gamers like us. :)
