[DoC] - Letter from the Producer #2
Quote:
Dear Champions,
It is with a renewed feeling of excitement that I am writing you for the second time about our game, its milestones and the amazing community of Might & Magic : Duel of Champions. It has been a few months since I gave you an update on our game and we have been busy working towards giving you the best gaming experience, now and for the months to come.
Last December, just before Christmas, more than 200 players geared up and fought epically against our development team. With a win/lost ratio of 53 % in favour of the players, we are proud to say that the students truly became the masters. New fan sites have also started to appear everywhere across Europe: Poland, Czech Republic, Italy, Russia and many more. We wanted to stress how proud the entire team is of working on a game that is appreciated to that level by so many of you. We cannot thank you enough.
On December 19th, we launched Void Rising, a new addition that was bound to change the game experience. I am very happy to announce that since December 18th, a stellar one million games have been played and the new Faction is no doubt linked to that success. But this is only the beginning. The plans are to launch a new card series two to three times a year. A new base set and a new faction is also in the plans for 2013. Finally, new tournament modes introducing timed duels and Swiss tournament will be implemented, with exciting reward such as Premium PacksTournament Tickets and Gold. As you can see, the best is definitely to come!
One of the major elements that we are looking to increase is the number of physical worldwide events. 2013 will see a lot of live events happening for Duel of Champions, from cybercafes to big conventions like we did in 2012 during the Paris Games Week or the Dreamhack. We will give you more details on our usual channels as they come.
As you can see, our focus is to make the game more accessible for everyone. We will be introducing new payment methods like SMS that will lower the transaction fees for a vast part of the community. On a more technical side, here is our plan for the new card series pricing model: The launch of new series like Void Rising should follow the same pattern where anyone has a chance to get their hands on new cards by purchasing packs, like Emilio’s pack, available for gold. We will also propose an opportunity to get higher chances to have your hand on new cards through new packs available for seals. Once we release a new expansion, only newest packs will be against Seal.
Once again I invite you to keep on playing and keep on sharing. We are listening now more than ever and together we’ll reach victory!
Stephane Jankowski,
Producer, Might & Magic Duel of Champions

It is unfortunate that it took the devs so long to nerf OTK decks but things keep improving. I have been playing on and off and I have done my share of experimenting lately, there are many ways to enjoy the game  The nagas could probably use a boost but they are very enjoyable to play, they have a unique gameplay. Void rising packs and recent changes have greatly changed the meta too for which I am grateful. Too damn expensive though

The only thing that could use a change is a Inferno whit its rush decks. All other are more or well balanced. Shure Cyclops OTK is still strong.. but can be beaten
To the leter
2-3 expansions a year? OK now I know I will never get all the cards...:-D I Still dont even have the full base set :-D

Still worth getting heroic packs if only for the achievements. Getting all cards from a faction is nice.

While I'm not playing DoC right now, I keep following game evolution and I must say, I wish all Ubi M&M games were developed in the same way as DoC, and had the same "luck".
They keep updating the game with a lot of stuff : factions, cards, battle system, balance, new features like in game tournaments (i think)...they have a good touch with the community...
I really like Ubi approach to this title, and it's future certainly looks bright with new expansions and tournaments

I'm slowly getting sick of heroic packs. Only buying them since I'm aiming for 16/16 heroes, but I've been stuck with 14/16, with like 25 hero duplicates. It's a bit demoralizing  . Not to mention, one of the 2 im missing is Kelthor which is the one i wanted the most.
Anyone know if there are specific rules for sacrifice pit, as in are there cards that cannot appear there (heroes, epics maybe?)
Overall though, i think i spent more time on this game than on Heroes 6, which is either a bad news about H6, or good news about this game.

I hate heroic packs but they've certainly helped me in enriching my collection. Uncommon, rare/epics are the same as in reinforcement packs and the cards are tied to the hero so there is less randomness involved overall. It was totally worth it when I got Shaar(last stronghold hero for me) which gave 2 achievements for a reinforcement pack and three small ones Helped me max my ravagers for my Xorm deck.I think there are only 3 or so cards missing from the base set. I should probably get some more heroic ones and start saving seals for a second void box, I could use the seals for making a premium deck and I'm still missing some void cards.
