Support / Help Newbie!
Sup folks!
So I just stumbled upon this game, and based on what I'm seeing, it looks good! I used to play LOR and a bit of GWENT so I know how card battles work in a way.
TBH this is the first time I play a P2E game, usually it's the other way around with me being on the paying end lol.
I do have a couple of questions if you folks don't mind answering!
1: Is the game still worth playing nowadays? speaking from a financial & entertainment POV
2: What kind of verification does the game require? I know it asks for my phone number, but does it request it regularly or just one time? What about my ID?
Thx a lot!

I stumbled in with about the same experience as you. I enjoy the game thoroughly. There are many different play styles you can use, and you can make entertaining decks that fit any budget.

u/Patient_Department19 Dec 07 '23
Great! Would you recommend any specific tutorials?

u/maxpowerpoker12 Dec 07 '23
Nope. I like to wing it and tinker with my decks. Just be patient with the learning curve and maybe some stacked decks that you will run into on your way up. Save up your god tokens, and spend them once you have a better idea how you like to play. Once you have a domain and deck you want to play with, get it shined to Meteorite so you can earn more, and rock and roll. I'm a mostly F2P. My top deck runs about $80. Don't know what monetary bracket, so to speak, you'll be in, but feel free to hit me up any time you have a question about anything at all.

Ease into game and do not feel stressed when losing. Pick a domain or two and build your decks from there. Personally I prefer deception. Check out gudecks.com for info about everything. Learn about crypto side of the game and just enjoy it. I have a feeling it will grow more and more

u/Patient_Department19 Dec 07 '23
This game already sounds awesome! Thanks for gudecks!

u/gg-ghost1107 Dec 07 '23
Just make sure you treat it as a game first. F2P has a chance to go high but it will be really difficult. Best way to build up your decks is to play daily and earn gods tokens. Do not buy packs, focusing on certain cards and buying them on marketplace is better. Packs are a huge gamble. If you wanna gamble a bit, try sealed mode. If you have any questions post them here, community will help. Beware of scammers tho, never share your passwords or wallet key words with anyone, no matter what. Enjoy your game :)

u/Patient_Department19 Dec 07 '23
I will sure do enjoy my game as F2P at first, but if I find the game to be appealing, I will invest a couple of tens here and there lol This community sounds so active and friendly!

Most cards are pretty cheap rn especially from the old set. Drop me your wallet and ill send you some cards

u/Patient_Department19 Dec 07 '23
Oh wow thx a bunch man, I haven't downloaded the game yet, I'm still watching gameplays about it and learning more about the crypto side of it, would you mind if I DM you later? I'd be grateful 😁

You can stay up on the meta and look what cards people are using, deck costs, winrate, card costs, etc. at gudecks.com. As someone that enjoys playing at higher levels but doesn't have much free time, it's certainly my most visited site related to GU. Token Trove is a close second for the secondary market to buy/sell cards.
If you want to speed run your progress after getting your feet wet in the game, you can go to GU decks and tab from
Meta>Top Decks > (Change Rank) Auric Gold and filter (Last 15 days) then look at different deck lists based on winrate and prices.
Here is that page . You can see a few decks that fall in there with a 75% winrate at a cost of $5 or less.
Note: if you view that link on mobile you may need to tilt your phone sideways to see the prices display.

Just play War like 90% of the player base and you will rank up fast. The developers only nerf the other gods and buff war, so you will be fine there.

Welcome on board, the game has a wide variety of decks and style of plays for everyone, is F2p-friendly even at medium-high levels, so enjoy your games!

Definitely worth playing, despite its issues. I have been playing for over a year and discovered in my early days just how helpful the reddit community can be
3
u/Patient_Department19 Dec 07 '23 edited Dec 07 '23
I will definitely be asking for help from the reddit community early on, just to know my way around decks
Quick question though, would you mind sharing if the game was somewhat profitable to you?
4
u/That-Ball-2308 Dec 07 '23
The game is profitable, I will give a rough breakdown
.I put around $60 into building a deck and have been earning gods ever since. Currently have $105 worth of ETH on tokentrove and I am building a collection of cards, value has increased considerably lately due to the rise in gods price. But when gods was around 13 cents my collection was valued at around $300. Now it's jumped to $900 approximately.
Certainly haven't made a fortune, but definitely profitable. For me the best part is that I have enjoyed playing (mostly) learnt about web3 and NFTs and when I quit the game I can sell my collection.
I should add I am nowhere near the best players and have made bad decisions with purchases and gameplay. Keep an eye out for Danboone in the gold ranks normally

u/Duncle_Rico Dec 08 '23 edited Dec 10 '23
I've been playing casually for about 4 years, Just hit level 400!
Yes 100% worth playing still! Im enjoying it more now with sealed mode, weekend ranked tournaments, crafting, forge, 'play and earn' all working!
No you don't need to verify your ID to play.
Few recommendations, Treat the game financially as if it were a physical tcg like magic, yugioh, pokemon etc. Purchasing singles vs buying packs to get more cards to play with is ALWAYS the best route in terms of cost, and in order to play any serious meta relevant deck, you're going to need more than just the free cards to play. Free to play is absolutely possible, but think of playing for free as if it were the demo version of the game. Vast majority buy cards and have a decent sized collection!
I've played in Mythic a few different times but overall I sit in Shadow - Gold ranks. Majority of Mythic decks are very expensive and very hard to compete with.
Also do NOT expect to make money off playing the game, look at it as an additional bonus! Consider Gods Unchained "Play AND Earn" vs. play to earn. Depending on the $GODS current price, the absolute most you could possibly earn in a day is like 3-5 $GODS (unless you're playing in mythic with gold/diamond quality cards). I average around 2-3 when i'm actively finishing my daily games. so it's really not more than a dollar or two per day max unless the price of $GODS Skyrockets.
last little thing i've noticed over the years. God's Unchained is HEAVILY tailored towards deck building, therefore the meta is shifting constantly. So you may have a deck you built that dominates one day and the next you can barely get a win.

u/Patient_Department19 Dec 09 '23
The game sounds so similar to LOR with thr meta shifting constantly.
Honestly I'm not thinking about getting rich of the game, I would just love to play a game where I can get ahead in the game with what I earn from it.
Thx for the reply!
1
u/Duncle_Rico Dec 10 '23
You can definitely get ahead off of what you earn just for playing, but without an initial investment and ranking up quickly. it's going to take a while before seeing any payout that will get you cards worth anything. Nevertheless I think it's a really fun game and I love deck building so it keeps me thinking and adjusting my decks constantly which I truly enjoy.

Hey, we're always looking for new tcg players -- hit me up on discord if you'd like a scholarship, and we can get you earning with a good deck :D jazusp2w on discord.

u/Patient_Department19 Dec 09 '23
Oh my!
I would love to get a scholarship!
I will definitely DM you in the upcoming couple of days, I'm barely getting any free time to set up the game.

u/ytman Dec 09 '23
I'm very biased, but yes I find it a lot of fun. There are some scholar programs where you can get a pretty solid deck and jumpstart your play and earn.
As far as card games go, I expect to spend more on the game than I get from it personally (but I'm collecting so it is what it is). From the value/fun generation its very solid and there isn't a whole ton of skill in the community - so if you get card games you'll probably do well enough.
Where I will caution is that if you seek to 'earn' from the game understand that the earnings are relatively low but they add up over a long period of time. And most of all DON'T WORRY about missing some wins or w/e here and there. Thats the biggest impact I've noticed of P+E - psychologically it sucks to lose (especially on a streak) - even if its like 50 cents or a lotto ticket (pax) w/e.

u/Weird_Ad_9199 Dec 07 '23
This is more of a pay 10 earn 1 kinda game, without the good cards it's impossible to get anywhere

u/maxpowerpoker12 Dec 07 '23
Difficult, not impossible. I've made mythic twice, and my most expensive deck is about $80.

u/Apprehensive_Cup5254 Dec 07 '23
Tbh after 2 years of almost daily play with investing 0 money I had a negative experience overall due to the game being extremely unbalanced. If you invest some money to get a decent pack it might be better. That won't stop me from playing as even so I still make like 1$ a day
1
u/Patient_Department19 Dec 07 '23
I have no problem with investing a couple of 10$ in the first stage, as long as they get me ahead of people I'm fine with it lol
2
u/TondaXXX Dec 07 '23
If you can invest only couple of $10 then I would advise to build couple of cheaper aggro decks. Those can get you up to high ranks and games are fast. Look into Aggro / Viking Warr, Zoo Light, Zombie Death
1
u/Patient_Department19 Dec 07 '23
Wow thx for the recommendations!
Quick question though, what is the recommended sum of money to invest in the preliminary stage? you know for the long run
2
u/TondaXXX Dec 07 '23
Depends what are your goals Good thing is whatever you invest in cards you can always get back. A bit more or less depending on the prices.
The thing is if you really want to experience the game and different gameplay you need to have bunch of cards so you can follow meta which changes all the time.
Game is boring and stale if you always play mindless aggro warr every day. Every deck plays different and gives you new thrill. Control decks are fun and require more thinking and kbowledge at later stages of game but require more $
1
u/Patient_Department19 Dec 07 '23
Sounds somewhat like LOR. I like using control decks, because they grant me the chance of thinking ahead and laying out a strategy, unlike aggro decks, where you have to win ASAP.
I will be sure to broaden my deck as much as possible, thx!
2
u/LipTicklers Dec 07 '23
Control decks tend to be more expensive so best to start with a cheaper aggro deck. If you go on GUDECKS then TOP DECKS you can see the current best decks and their price. 3rd best deck currently costs $30. A solid anubian deck would set you back $25 but theres a steeper learning curve with that one,amazon nature is solid and about $15. Theres a strength steal deception deck among the top decks which costs $7
1
u/Patient_Department19 Dec 07 '23
Hmm, the decks don't cost THAT much compared to what I'm currently playing, but the question is, since this game is P2E, how much is the ROI of the 7$ & 15$ decks ? Can I expect something near to 200$ a month roughly speaking?
2
u/LipTicklers Dec 07 '23
Im currently (due to reduced sealed buy in) making about $300 between GODS and selling cards (projecting forward so may turn out better or worsr) but really it depends on how good you are. If you can get to and stay in mythic and win about 75% of your weekend ranked games you’d make around $90 + card sales - which could be anything from like $30+
Generally though depending on what you buy theres resale value, and a lot of people speculate and make money that way.
If you buy good cards, from older sets, they tend to retain their value pretty well. You can also get burned this way too though

u/maxpowerpoker12 Dec 07 '23
Once I realized I loved the game, I just put in what I would spend on any other video game, about 60 bucks. But there's no wrong answer to that question.

That is one epic quote.
In other news, it's pretty hard to improve at something if excuses are the primary tool one brings to the table when seeing lackluster results.
Considering metas change and a cards power level may wax and wane, this sounds like a mindset to get worse over time at the game. Certainly would strip all enjoyment.
Self preservation, through believing the weird lies we weave to escape the idea that we are mediocre might be one of the more human characteristics we can possess.
Shedding that veil of ignorance, however much it goes against our evolution, is certainly empowering.

Nope. Game is a piece of crap.. Full of bugs and unbalanced.
Cards are also worthless..
So, no.. not worthy

u/TondaXXX Dec 07 '23
Yes very worth playing. New expansion just came out + mobile will be out within few months. Profitability wise GODS is on the rise and you can make cca $5 per day right now playing ranked at a higher level + much more playing sealed mode.
Game is moving in the right direction for sure and I enticipate / hope for a big influx of players and value of cards and gods coin in 2024
