Is this game better than it was two years ago?

I used to play PoxNora at some length in the past, I am curious
now whether or not it is better or worse than it was when I
played.
Please let me know what you think.
(I find the bright orange/black colour scheme of this forum to
be very eye straining.)

Honestly, I like the game slightly less since I started. Its no
longer about who has the best skill, just who has the best
counters.

Can't really say definitively since I have only been around
since Feb/Mar, but the game seems to be heading in the right
direction. I have only heard stories about when Corpse was in
charge of development, but I do know that Sok and Hawkfain are
great at communication and Sok has been really trying to keep
things balanced between the factions. Also, lore has made a big
come back in the last couple of expansions, which is nice.
Unfortunately, the client/game can still be pretty buggy and the
player base is still pretty small, so SOE isn't really putting a
whole lot of extra resources into the game, which I think could
hurt it in the long run.

Since Sokolov has taken the reigns of Lead Dev, it has took a
major turn for the best (I am in no way slandering CorpsE here)
CorpsE seemed to go for more power creeped, which led to limited
number of champs that were meta viable
However since soks been getting his claws more sunk into pox,
and making it his own (as for some expansions after corpse left,
there will still be some of his ideas there) - as they plan more
then 1 expansion ahead.
But Sok has made more units runnable in more factions, due to
the development and creation of themed champs spells e.c.t.
It has also made balancing slightly easier, and there are less
over the top 1 man army champs then there used to be
so overall, I would say, it is much better now, and the game
content is heading well on its way into the right direction
Its just marketing that is the problem!

Hey Jayaris, I remember you from back in the day, glad you have
come back.
I would say that the game is better now than 2 years ago, but
with a caveat. Yes it is better, there are some balance issues,
but I think that will always be true. What I do like is that
Sok is pushing themes now, there are a lot of nice themes to get
your teeth into, both new and some reworks of old ones. Splits
are usually more powerful than FF, but the focus on these themes
has got more people playing FF Imho - which is a good thing.
Also his general design idea is good, there are still
powercreeped runes, but they are not crazy OP like they used to
be and he does more regular balance patches that address most of
the OP problems.
The caveat is, I enjoy the game more now than 2 years ago is
because I have enough runes now that I can pretty much get any
BG I want from trading (poxbox rules the most) (aside from some
of the 150ks ofc and even then I have 4 of them). this means
that I have the luxury of being able to change factions if my
main gets sucky. e.g. I am not a big fan of the recent themes
for KF - Fae, Vashal, treefolk. But that is OK as I can just
play voils or minos or pallys or whatever. It seems to me that
you can get a deck from a faction now without having to own the
whole faction or even 50% of it, there is a lot more variety in
the game now I believe.
