imageTaking TCGs Into New Territory - Hex News

Perception might be that trading card games are strictly for Magic-and-Yu-gi-oh-obsessed uber-geeks, but in recent years the audience for TCGs has seen a lot of growth. While hardcore TCG-ers remain the backbone of the TCG market, developers hope to increase the genre's draw with a more accessible digital format.

    I want this pve to be good. I loved MTG but the pve in this is what I was looking for. Now to see if it is any good.

    I need to play again, I really enjoyed it.  Especially now that they have PvE in the game, which is the one thing missing from these types of games.  It gets old playing against the same broken decks all the time.

    I'm pretty stoked too. I always told Cory at shows and interviews that the PVE and MMO campaigns would get me hooked. 

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    I supported the kickstarter just because of the PVE they had planned. Now we finally get a little taste. Woohoo!

    Played Hex a few months ago, when they had the frostring arena. It was a nice PvE start but nothing too special. But reading about the progress they made on this, I'll check it out again. The game itself is fine and absolutely worth a try.

    Hodor!

    I've been playing a while now. It's pretty fun and has some interesting twists to the traditional TCG format. I like the graphics and pve....the game is kinda clunky/slow when it seems like it should respond faster...other than that....very enjoyable...

    Unfortunately, it gets stuck at the loading data screen at 100%, cant even alt tab out.
    Support forum has lack of responses.

    I like the direction they are going in but i don't know if they will do it well enough to appease the audience.

    The ideas are what i had hoped for SOE's tcg ,they had a nice start with graphics but did not do a single thing afterwards.I don't like it being too simple liek a connect the dots idea,i like to have an actual avatar that moves around in a world and could at that point accept a cheap world full of 30x30 grid maps.

    Not sure why you are having issues,that is usually me and my low end system,so when i am not having issues i would figure nobody is.Perhaps you were unlucky during maintenance or something.

    D/ling the update now to check it out.Seems to be d/ling at a decent rate.

    Just sharing, last night I had a dream that I bought a bunch of Pokemon booster packs and got a Charizard card. :/

    No idea why I dreamed this, I haven't played Pokemon, let alone any TCG, in decades.

    OK tried and seems to be issue with accepting my ID/pass i wrote it down so i know it is correct.
    Then when it seems like it is working it just freezes.

    On Twitter is says they are having some loading issues,i tried simply login to account but nothing happens,seems all is dead.

    Somebody on Twitter posted a link to check server status but it just sends you to the main page and shows nothing on server status.

    I'll check again after i come back from the gym.

    You and me both. I was so disappointed when the game originally launched w/o its PvE campaign so I almost forgot about the game till now :)

    Looks like its finally up. So far people seems to have a pretty positive first impression from reading the ingame chat.
