f> ido, pacing the way to making the ps4 work well, waht's oging to be the marketing followup

f> i feel like steam was a once-and done thing

> sony's putting a lot of work in too maybe

c> one of the reasons we felt ps4 was a good opportunity for us

> tablet work is very similar to ps4

> tablet would make players happy but without big marketing push how do we get new players to give hex a chance?

> ps4 looked at it and were very excited and helped us

> commiteed to some great marketing opportunities for us

> ps4 before anythign else because we're getting that support to drive eyeballs to hex

F> interesting on that one a lot of console games you get the game and bu it and don't need to buy it again

c> yes every set and update is an update to the game

> ps4 is doing an initiave with more free to play games

> we're part of that

> got a really good response

> when Sony gets behind something they can drive their onsumers to sample

> I believe HEX is best tcg that exists

> i've tried out on ps4

> it works really wel l

> absolutely playable and enjoyable

f> I don't think people understood initially

> a lot of people are going to be seeing hex for the very first time

C> we've gone through an incredible number of players made acounts

> millions of players have made accoutns

> the key is finding those new places

> very excitded for oter consoles and tablet

> lot of people who can sit on couch or whereve

> i've done that endlesly on my laptop

m> pvec ards for hex; will ps4 players be able to use them in dueling pits?

c> no; that's pvp; they don't acutally have access to pve cards

> i don't know where they would see them

> you might by turning on all cards -but i don't think they will see them at all

F> I've been feeling pve feels likegoing back to the drawing board might be best approach for hex

> you've been doing tha for deckbuilder for ps4; what does changes mean for pc players?

c> consistent feedback is people love making decks

> but dekcbuilder they find very difficult to get the experience they want

> was really hard to figure out a new way to do that deckbuilder and started from scratch

> i'm excited about what we have

> hate branching

cos more work

> but would love to let people choose

> still wretling with some of that because i don't mind current deckbuilder i actually like it

> loev the new one too

> ic an see how that might be much more enjoyable for noodling around for someone who doesn't want to be doing it allday every day

> like it it's just didfferent

: cory said they are considering launching campaign on console as a standalone product...spoilers plz!!!

> all that stuff goal is to have ti roll over to pc

> biggest reason for the new name was so poeple can see the name and have an immediate idea what it is

> i feel pve needs to be reqorked a bit

> pc is kinda locked

> i feel i have to keep rolilng it out to meet the kickstarted promises

> even if it's not the best vewrsion as I see it now with the experience

> some of the stuff as i envisioned it was actively bad

> other people worked on it and made it better

> we couldn't just throw it out

> probably woudl have been better but was trying to live up to those promises

f> i was a KS and I don't think you should feel obligated to promises you made 4 years ago

F> i think a lot of player would understand if it was awesome but not the same

c> a lot fo the content would will be the same either way. .the goal is to launch a seperate..

..card clash it's own thing, pvp expereicen

> but if i could launch a separate thing hex adventure with the proper reward arc

> cos right now got to deal betwen people who have all the cards and people who are just coming in

> would like to have a guy who gives you vampire kings

> and princess and you canput them in but I can't do that

> so make a character and level them and get things

> i could balance that so where you were wining and losing woul dhave a much bigger impact on how you enjoy the game

> even HS moved away from it; it's not easy to make

> the bang for your buck is kinda low but we're sitll committed to it

> we're still working on AZ| and PVE

> goal is to keep working on AZs

> to launch a separate version on PS where you go through level up but no buying cards per se

> also a sealed deck vairatn where you launch an adventure and see how far you can get

> and end that experience and=the careds would be unlocked back in yoru main path

C> the difference betwee my honesty and yoru reality is all the shit that happenes between when i say it and when you get it

> every one who plays hex right now could quit tomorrow

> need players

> every thing we do is dependent on a bunch of factors we don't control

> every $ we make gets wrapped back round to HEX and then some

> there's no instance where we want to make the wrong decision

> often when we make th wrong decision we go back on it as soon as we figure that up

f> you guys have been pretty responseive on community stuff

> balance of for pve players between those who get the t2 win, and those who say it's way too hard

C> a lot of player have graduated through the experrience and look at it as gold farming so they want to optimise for gold/minute and that beomces the game

> i can't design AZ or FRA for everyone simultaneously#

> want to challenge the farmers occasionally also serving the newer players

F> new stuf pve we've movd past it

C> no wait. we are living on someone else's platform

> so not everything is really my decision

> we've got a consideraton i don't think other game have got in ragards to managing soft and hard currency

> a lot of stuff console games don't normally have

> we have some work on mailing but a lot of decisions are made so we can be on the platform at all

> I felt that giving up the opportunity to be on PS4 was not worth it

> i understand people will be bummed about not transferring colelctions but that wasn't relaly an option

F> q about gold in ps4; can spend gold on commons and AH

> don't have chests of kismet and common packs for gold seems 100% -ev

> ps4 players earning gold but not really having anything to spend it on seems negative

C> we had to have gold currency

you're going to earn gold from playing and packs

> you can take that goldand buy some common packs

c> 10 cards for 1kg still gives you that buying packs experience

> you're going to be able to buy the commons and uncommons from gold you get playing the game

> there's no perfect expereience/ solution to this

> thinking about me as a player, can't earn platinum so you have to earn something

> so you're earning some gold so if i have 2 of this card and it says for 300 fo my 800 gold i can buy another one

> then you ahve 4 burns

> so you can get a taste of the expereience earnign gold and buying things

f> dualing pits
