OpenEtG's First Birthday and Beta Version ReleaseOpenEtG is turning one year old! Join us in celebrating OpenEtG's first birthday, along with celebrating the official move from Alpha to Beta.
If you have never heard of it, OpenEtG is an open source "fanmade" game based on Elements. It has all the cards Elements has, and the same basic duel mechanics, but many new features and tweaks suggested by the community.
The game has been developed non-stop for the last year, and is finally complete as a game, though balance tweaks and new content is being added constantly. As the game itself is complete, the time has come to officially move to Beta, so we are celebrating from now until OpenEtG's first birthday on November 30th.
A few highlights:Over a hundred new cardsOpenEtG has added over a hundred new cards to the vanilla card pool. Most of those cards are taken from the CIA subforum, such as
Orochi,
Alpha Wolf and
Unstable Shapeshifter.
Countless balance changesMany suggestions taken from the buff/nerf sections have been implemented, tested, tweaked, re-tested, and re-tweaked.
PvP EventsIt's not too late to sign up for our latest Tournament WYSIWYP. Or maybe you prefer unrestricted PvP, like leagues? Fear not, for we have our own leagues too! The current (very first) season ends in a week, but it is not too late to join. If you still feel that is too short time, the next season will start right when this one ends, on December 1st. Be sure to join!
Booster PacksInstead of having a bazaar with all the common cards for purchase individually, OpenEtG has gone down a different route: booster packs. The rarity system has been expanded, and there are a variety boosters to help you get all the cards, each one with elemental flavours.
TradingOpenEtG has a well-developed trading system between players, so if your booster packs don't give you the cards you want, you can trade what you got to someone else.
Interface FeaturesA number of convenience additions have been added, such as infinite in-game deck storage and keyboard shortcuts.
ColosseumEver missed some sort of daily challenges? Well OpenEtG has them, in the shape of Colosseum. Beat a predetermined opponent, or maybe several random decks in a row. If you complete all events for a day, you even get a special prize!
QuestsAdventure on the mysterious Potatotal Island. In each quest you follow a story, face predermined decks, and can get great rewards!
If that weren't enough, to celebrate the birthday, from the time of this post until the end of OpenEtG's birthday (November 30th), anyone who makes a post in this topic, will recieve a reward code for 5000 Gold! Yes, you read that correctly, 5000 Gold! This sum is a great start to a new card collection, a great addition to an existing one, and 20 more Nymphs for those of you who are finishing up your collection!
