Will there be hats?

What kind of hats? Like Specifically. And how many can each class equip? 3 Maybe? Dude maybe instead of rocket jump and medkit or whatever, you could have more hat cards. And instead of badlands, it could be trading servers and shit. And the game is about collecting hats and shit. Dude top trumps with tf2 hats would totally fucking work.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=24801&post=439727 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 19:26:50 +0100 Reply by accless https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-24801/page-1/?recent=445288#post=439653 Quoted from Coleman

[...] Then I steal them and build a penthouse in aspen.

My diabolical plan has been discovered! edit: well, your plan but who reads correctly nowadays. In any case, that would require you to come to i49, Frix, now wouldn't it? :B]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=24801&post=439278 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:09:11 +0100 Reply by Frix https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-24801/page-1/?recent=445288#post=439277 Quoted from Sideshow

You could get them signed at i49 by their respective best players from eu/usa/oz if the game is good and functional by then too.

Wow, quite possibly THE nerdiest thing I've ever encountered...sounds frickin' awesome to be fair! Make it good and sell it to Valve. I'll take 0.1% of your earnings as payment for the idea, safe :D

Ehehe, you have no idea, mate. If you dug deep enough in some 10 year old boxes I have, you'd find paint-made Pokemon cards, a Paper Mario TCG on printer paper, a Windwaker card game on cardboard and probably the remnants of a Golden Sun tabletop |D I got experience, yo!]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=24801&post=439276 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:06:27 +0100 Reply by Sideshow https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-24801/page-1/?recent=445288#post=439274 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=24801&post=439274 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:01:44 +0100 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-24801/page-1/?recent=445288#post=439272 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=24801&post=439272 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:59:48 +0100 Reply by accless https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-24801/page-1/?recent=445288#post=439271 Quoted from Sideshow

don't know how good the game will be just from reading it but nice idea haha

We don't know either! But we'll do our darnest to make the game good/fun. Plus, we have plans to make the game intriguing beyond the gameplay alone. Trust me on that, you'll see :3]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=24801&post=439271 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:59:16 +0100 Reply by Sideshow https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-24801/page-1/?recent=445288#post=439270 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=24801&post=439270 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:56:38 +0100 Created by accless https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-24801/page-1/?recent=445288#post=439266 But onto the game: The 6v6 TCG will revolve around positioning and strategy and we focus on reducing luck elements to a bare minimum. You always start the game with three 'core classes' which are the Pocket, Medic and Demo. Scouts and roamer have to be played into a 'rollout zone' facing down and turned on their side. Outside of the first turn it takes a turn to put them into the game. The field has 4 zones: The aforementioned Rollout, the 'Backfield', 'Extended' and 'Overextended'. The core classes start in the Backfield, Scouts and Roamer will be put in Extended. I'd like to point at my notes here http://i.imgur.com/QywWJxt.jpg . It will be a lot easier to know what I'm talking about when you see a drawn field. The opposing player has the same zones but mirrored, obviously, so your Extended zone counts as his Overextended zone. A turn functions as follows. You start your turn by drawing a card, then the player whose turn it is can move up to 4 classes by one space. The defending play is allowed to move 2 classes. Then explosive damage is dealt (Soldiers and demo). Most classes have two ways of dealing damage: One is direct damage, the other spam (indicated respectively by numbers left/right next to a weapon). Direct damage can only be applied to a card aligned to your target. Spam can only be dealt to a class with one space inbetween it and your card. After that damage has been dealt, the Scouts may move by one more space (special rule/ability for scouts) and then inflict their damage. The pocket soldier can damage in that same phase as well but not move beforehand (Special Pocket rule/ability). Then the turn ends and your opponent's turn starts. Classes that are defeated (had their HP drop to 0) go to a special discard pile called the 'Respawn Room'. If a core class gets put there, you get to return it to your hand right away. A Scout or Roamer have to be drawn from it at the end of your turn but you get only one back at random. You can also use your movement turn to 'Retreat' a class and remove them from the current battle to save them for the next point. Classes played from your hand go into the Rollout zone and can enter the field again in your next turn. Since this is emulating 6v6, the 'format' is 5cp. You cap a point by spending a specific amount of time in your opponent's overextended zone. 'POINT CARDS' indicate what point you're playing for. If you capped a point you are allowed to play the next point (2nd in this case), same goes for last. If you cap it, you score one point and both players shuffle all cards save for the core classes into their decks and begin anew (best of three, win difference 5, till 5, we don't know yet; testing will show). A couple factors can influence what's happening on the field aside from the classes and their special abilities (Scouts have increased movement, pocket attacks twice demo has enhanced spam and range, medic builds uber): Point Cards: Changes certain factors like damage taken, maybe movement (highground). Action Cards: Majority of cards in your deck. Includes things like Rocket Jump Cards (Movement boni at the cost of health), Double Jump (damage evasion), Medigun Heals, Uber, Sticky Traps, Uber, Hiding Spots and more. Tool Cards: Health Kits (Healing), Resup and Ammo Crates (card drawing/searching/general utility) Offclass cards: Don't wanna get into these as it's going to take a lot more time to explain. This is going to be a non-profit project and is purely driven by love for TF2 and card games and an eagerness to see the two combined.
