War Room: Your Purchase Plans?

[WarpedWolf]

Sooo.... how much of War Room's dataset do you plan on buying? Are you going to buy just your faction(s), all of Warmachine/Hordes, or the whole enchilada?

For now, I'm looking at getting just the Circle of Orboros dataset. I might get the whole thing later, but I'm leery of putting too much money into it until I see how well it works.

[Evilmerlin]

4 decks. Don't need the whole set.

[gr31]

No War Room here. I don't have a smart phone to use it on.

[MetaphoricDragon]

Right now, just the Menoth one. Question though, have they confirmed or not if we can use iTunes giftcards to buy the Faction Decks?

[Lich_Lord_X]

If it's an in app purchase through iTunes then it must. I really want the whole thing so I can read up on other armies but I don't want to spend that much on it.

[Bohrdog]

I have an ipad and a droid phone so I am still wondering if I will be able to cross platform or if I have to buy 2 sets.

[PG_Longshot13]

This is what I am curious about as well. I have Amazon store credit, and Coinstar machines will give you iTunes or Amazon giftcards without charging you for counting change, so I was going to use the two to fund my War Room purchases. Would these options be possible?

[PG_Dalthoraz]

I plan to purchase the full bundle for all factions. Assuming after my initial testing it seems worth it but having access to every card is just awesome so as long as it work I'll buy them all.

[kolonelk]

I haven't decided. I'll play with the freebie version first, then see whether I want to go nuts and get the lot all at once, or just buy as needed. The bulk discount is ok, but not spectacular enough to make me have to buy the lot up front.

[PG_Neldar]

I'll test its basic functions and then get all of it if I like my testing results.

[Lighten]

The whole set, as long as the freebie version doesn't crash before I can view a card. I want those rules for cheap

[Quizboy]

I'm looking forward to having a play about with the free stuff, curious about the two-device syncing and (especially) finding out if it'll run on an Intel-powered Android device (ie, a San Diego). I'll probably grab decks for the three factions we play if it works well, but I'm not planning any huge bundle purchase or anything.

[jmsetzer]

Right now, just the Menoth one. Question though, have they confirmed or not if we can use iTunes giftcards to buy the Faction Decks?

It has been confrimed: yes you will because it is being handled through the Apple App store. I can confirm this because I asked this question in the original FAQ thread and PPS_Simon said so :-)

Happy day for those of us with iTunes gift cards to use :-)

[PG_TotalGee]

I'm going to get Scyrah, Trolls, Mercs and Minions.

I don't think I need all the faction, although it would be nice.

[absent]

at $7 per deck i'm not buying a single thing from them, i already have all my cards, i don't need another set, all i would like is something like ibodger, and that isn't worth $7 per army to me.

[PG_Tulsy]

I have an ipad and a droid phone so I am still wondering if I will be able to cross platform or if I have to buy 2 sets.

You account is stored on a server so you can access it from either device.

I plan on getting every faction. Just to be able to see cards and rules for everything.

[Poppabear40]

Like most I will test it ONCE it finally comes out. If it performs well on my devices I will buy the full card set.

[PG_carnage4u]

I'll buy the bundle of all of them assuming after I mess around with the app and like it. having cards for life for all factions seems pretty neat. I actually like the idea of the cards being updated witht he newest errata and such the most.

[AnotherMike]

Same as most, play with free a bit - if I like it grab all factions. $5.50 per deck is a pretty good deal in the bundle.

[Syas]

I am with Poppa. If I like it, then I will buy everything, if not then probably just Menoth and Trolls

[mozart]

Test free then buy all.

[PG_MrTemplar]

Starting with Legion and Cygnar, then BUY IT ALL!

[MadJack]

It depends on whether they ended up supporting theme force validation. If so, I'm buying all decks right away (I use theme forces fairly regularly for Cygnar, and when I'm straying outside of Cygnar I'm almost always looking at doing a theme force). If not, I'll play around with the free version for a while before making a decision on whether I'm buying anything.

[Nuriochi_sol]

Yep. I'm thinking THIS is the way I get back to the knowledge base I enjoyed in Mk1. With all the books and changes, I couldn't keep up. If I buy it all, since I'd need four decks anyway, I'll be halfway to $60 at that point - may as well go the whole nine yards. So, in the end, I can read up on all the stuff I don't own but face often (I'm looking at you Khador and Legion).

But I'm going to test it first for a bit. Then decide based on functionality and ease of use if I'm gonna take the plunge.

[MagnustheJust]

No War Room here. I don't have a smart phone to use it on.

This. It would be awesome if they now made a PC-fiendly version!!

Hint-hint, nudge-nudge, wink-wink!! Say no more - SAY NO MORE!!

[PG_LonelyMonk]

There is a program "bluestack" that allows me to use app on my phone on my desktop.. Still have Ibodger and use it on PC and phone...

[AJ the Ronin]

Retribution and Mercs day one. Then the other factions monthly. I would buy all at once but right now I can't.

[computertrucker]

Will buy the whole enchilada!

[Bohrdog]

It has been confrimed: yes you will because it is being handled through the Apple App store. I can confirm this because I asked this question in the original FAQ thread and PPS_Simon said so :-)

So with that I am guessing you will have to buy a set for droid and another set for apple since there stores don't cross.

[Godpox]

0 It's not something I would ever use.

[WarpedWolf]

So with that I am guessing you will have to buy a set for droid and another set for apple since there stores don't cross.

From what I understand, your account is good across all platforms. So if you buy the whole enchilada, you'll be able to use it on an iPhone, Kindle Fire, Droid phone, whatever.

[quindraco]

So with that I am guessing you will have to buy a set for droid and another set for apple since there stores don't cross.

This would contradict the FAQ, which indicates that the cards you buy are linked to your account, and you can sign in from any device to access your cards.

Remember, it's abundantly clear that the core way this app works is that every card in the game is in the app (it must be, so you can view your opponents' list) and the ones you haven't paid for are kept secret from you until you pay for them to be revealed. You're paying for the privilege of looking at the information, not the information itself, since you already have the information.

[daoloth]

Once I'm satisfied it meets my "needs". I suspect I'll get the full set of cards.

[razcalking]

I've played Magic Online. Just isn't the same as holding cards in your hand. I'll pass on War Room.

[Comrade_Nikolai]

I'll probably just save my christmas 2012 iTunes vouchers for its release and buy the whole set...

[m3g4tr0n]

4 decks. Don't need the whole set.

Same here.

[Trygle]

Decks?

Depends on the App, but I have far too many Cryx cards to carry around normally.

Cryx and Mercs seem like the only sure fire ones(If I like the app), since my Cryx binder is a mess.

[PG_gojira316]

Until I familiarize myself with the app I'll be holding off on ordering any decks. Once I get the hang of using War Room and like it better than the cards I'll be buying the decks for Legion and Trolls.

I really hope this is a great app and I can't wait to start messing around with it.

[WintersChill]

I'm buying the whole thing. It'll be great to be able to read up on all the factions on one device.

If you play the game a lot and are a frequent convention-goer, I think it behooves you to buy all the decks.

[Hashmal]

Whole shebang.
