Largely thanks to the immense community support we have received since our launch 3 months ago, we continue to provide quality original content in the form of Guides & Articles as well as a full-fledged Shop that rivals the in-game Auction House in terms of item price and availability. As providing value for the community is our primary goal, we always look for ways to expand our feature list, fulfill the needs of our users, and create a fun environment.

With this in mind, we are introducing a few new features that we hope will be useful to the Hex TCG community.

Deck Creator

The first of these is the Deck Creator. Our goal was to create a quick and easy way to submit a deck and have it live somewhere accessible that the community can easily get to, critique, rate and share.

Once you have registered on the site (you may do so at this link for free) – you will be able to submit as many decks as you want at the following URL: hexprimal.com/create-deck. Actually submitting your deck is as easy as filling a few fields and checking the right boxes (it can even be done from a mobile if you have a spark of genius while doing stuff ‘IRL’ ). It’s nothing too fancy but gets the job done as it records everything from your gem choices to your equipment choices to other meta data about your deck. All these inputted characteristics enable others to easily find the exact type of decks they might be interested in. Editing your decks can be done at hexprimal.com/edit-deck . The deck page itself, after you’ve submitted the information, will look something like this:

The true value of all of this is apparent when you go to view all decks – which you can do so at hexprimal.com/decks. Whether it be for a PvE Dungeon, a PvP tournament deck, a deck for a specific community run event like Budget Cup or Rock League, the list of decks allows you to find the right deck for the right purpose. You can sort decks by any criteria and immediately filter all the decks by any aspect such as view counts/comment count/rating/submission date. For example, let’s say you’re stuck doing the latest PvE dungeon and need some help beating that encounter, you’ll be able to sort by that specific dungeon and see all the top rated decks submitted in that area.

To give all of this a personal feel – we have made sure that each deck author is well represented on the deck page with their profile pic, their achievements (more on this later), and a link to their profile where more information like their bio, Keep name, social media accounts or Twitch stream links can be found.

Achievements/Badges

Currently we have some achievement badges you can earn and that are visible everywhere from the aforementioned deck author box to the comments section so that those who have committed a lot of time to the game can stand out from the crowd. We currently have badges that can be earned after X amount of submitted decks, X amount of comments made, and also a ‘tournament winner’ badge you can sport if you provide us proof of winning a Hex community tournament (the tournament must have had at least 32 players). As the game grows we hope to reward active contributors with anything from custom badges, to their own column on the site, to product rewards. Oh and you can also show off your country flag if you wish.

Event Calendar

As the number of community events (such as the excellent HexTechs Open series and FiveShards Cups) grow and Hex themselves start to increase their own seasonal events, giveaways and tournaments we thought it would be useful for players to have access to all this information in one place. We are actively maintaining all events on our site at the following link: hexprimal.com/event-calendar. Soon we’ll implement the ability to submit events to us directly on the front-end but until then you can let us know of an event we might have missed by emailing us at hexprimal (@) gmail.com .

Transparent Buying List

One of our goals when setting up HexPrimal was to turn mere digital collections of Hex players into valuable digital commodities that have real world value. In order to do so we needed to establish our shop as a trustable, reliable, and secure place where cards can be bought. After successfully completing hundreds of transactions with dozens of different customers at prices that may at times shame the AH along with the fastest delivery speeds – we are proud to boast a 100% satisfaction rate.

We now feel comfortable to buy cards and items from players at openly listed prices – and as a result pass the ability to instantly gain money from your cards to everyone else in the community. We have analyzed similar sites in other games like MTG and believe our buying prices are competitive with the industry standards even when we consider these games have a much more established base. You can view our buy list(updated on a regular basis) at hexprimal.com/sell-to-us when you select “Cards” as it asks you what you want to sell. The total value is automatically calculated based on your selections.

Budget Cup II

Finally we wanted to remind you all that this Sunday is the second Budget Cup where with just $10 you can make a name for yourself in the Hex constructed scene. It’s totally free to enter and you can read up more about it here including prizes, rules, and sign-up details. If you’d like us to keep running these alternate format tournaments, please try to support it anyway you can whether it be with donations to the prize pool, telling your friends, or simply taking part in the tournament.

That’s all for now. As always, if there’s any thing we can improve on or ideas you might have please feel free to contact us. We’re also always looking to grow our team so if you’d like to join us in any capacity you can reach us from the following link hexprimal.com/join-us .
