Been dealing with a stupid PS5 controller outage lately and don't know whenever I will get to be back on, but - to be blunt about this - I absolutely stink at Tribute. I'm still on a novice npc....I mean, when I CAN play.... 🤦♂️.
This is the first Tribute tutorial I've seen that actually explained the underlying mechanics (like how Agent cards work) instead of just doing gameplay demonstrations. Thank you.
I want to understand this game so badly, but I think I mentally checked out about 20 times throughout this video. But I appreciate how much effort went into this beginner tutorial, because I desperately need it.
Your explanation sounds like it can be very clear for someone who already knows the game. I am totally lost. I can only throw out yellow coin cards and then suddenly, I have some prestige points and next thing, opponent wins. wtf lol
You start with yellow gold coins, use the chest on the right side and convert one gold coin to a two gold coin writ. You can do this once each turn when you start. Now you have the same cards but they are worth more. You should now start buying purple and red cards as game continues, this will allow you to accumulate gold to buy more cards, and power points to win.
Although I appreciate all the effort you put into this video, it didn't explain the two questions that I had when I clicked on your video. 1.) how do I actually trigger a combo? 2.) How does battle work between agents? How do I reduce an enemy agent's health?
Comboes happen when you play several agents of the same color. The combo that happens depends on the cards and the number of same color cards you played. Look at the right side of the card to see combo 2 and combo 3 effects. You reduce enemy agents by using your power and clicking on the agent, or by using a knockout card. You will also reduce some enemy agent health by simply earning power as some agents absorb your power at the end of the turn as damage to themselves.
I bought this game recently and found this in the high isle expansion. I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting more hooked on this than actual ESO. I say this as someone whose favourite board game is Star Realms which is basically this.
Since I was reading the comments there are some very basic things that people don't get and I don't know why. 1) If you click it then it plays, just like your skills. 2) If you hover over it you get a tooltip, just like everything else in the game 3) Always read the effects of the cards if you have not yet memorized them, just like your skills and passives when you build a character Everything else was basically explained. Pick your 2 patreons (so decks and Patreon abilities), think about resources so you can buy cards and use effects, buy cards that you can use together and build a strategy depending on what you have available (like a draft in TCG for those familiar with it), gather prestige or turn all patreons facing you to win. It's a really interesting game that too easy to understand but can take ages to master. Each match is unique and can turn at any time. Hope I helped, a former TCG player.
Why doesn't anybody explain HOW to upgrade the cards!?!?! Everybody just says you can upgrade them..........well ok please explain the steps that result in said upgrade.
Are we able to play with our friends? Because if not, what's the damn point... Everything I can find only points towards activity finder being the only way to play against players... This seems like the absolute perfect card game to play with a buddy. Perfectly chill and even ground.
Random question: Is there a real life version of this game, or something similar? I was thinking maybe 'Splendor', or 'Magic: The Gathering'? What do you all think?
Please, it is possible to turn off automatically cards taken from your hand during a game?? I think I accidentally hit some setting but cant find it anymore. I play on xbox series s Any hint I really appreciate. Thank you so much.
After playing it all I can say is it’s very boring. Gwent is easy to pick up yet takes a long time to master and is fun. In contrast, Tales of Tribute is needlessly complicated, yet that complexity doesn’t make the game interesting at all. I think ZOS should have taken more notes from Witcher 3 on how to do a fun card game.
I don’t have a goddamn clue what I’m doing in this stupid fucking game. At least Gwent and Orlog were explained decently… and with short games. Short. Fucking. Games.
What is point with this game ? I play at ps5 so we not have this story yet, it looks so boring and is it something we need to do in this chapter or if you not play it what you loose if you not play it, and if you play it what you win ?.
It's available to all playstation players if you have the new High Isle DLC. You do not have to play to complete zone story line. You do not lose anything if you refuse to pay but you win prizes if you do.
This helped a little bit, but not much tbh. I've played several rounds today, the thing that the tutorial (and this video) doesn't tell me is where I need to click to do something. My first mistake was trying to look at more info on a card, I clicked it and it played. I didn't want to play it, I couldn't take it back. The next mistake was in trying to gain a patron's favor. I thought I was spending 2 power to get it, turns out I destroyed the card and got nothing because there were no instructions on what to click to do that. We need videos on the controls and where to click and stuff.
@@Supadrumma441 Yeah. All we get is a brand new zone, a 30 hour campaign, new dungeons, new trial, new collections, new mythics, new item sets. What a joke
Why not just bring Elder scrolls Legend to the game??? I played only one game of Legend and it was really fun. I win it at the end with 1 hp. It's fun, but I uninstall because if I want to play a card game, I just prefer Magic Arena... But having it in ESO could be cool. This one look so confused and hard for nothing...
This beginners guide did not help me at all. I still don’t even know how to pick card, the tutorial nor anywhere else is there any key binding information, all I can figure out how to do is concede a match
This is the worst card game I've played. It's overly complex and it plays slow. It's as if they went for the worst of all the card game play types and melded them together then, in Elder Scrolls developer fashion, made it overly complex and squeezed out any fun. Playing it is a chore. And it is a big part of the chapter. So I'm not liking the chapter thus far. Not worth the price of admission. First time I've said that thus far.. Only Isobel is the one redeeming quality for me.
What a waste of resources by ZOS. I will not play even one game of cards and doubt I am the only one. If I want to play cards I will play with my real life friends.
🤮Totally confused. Played the game and none of the situations or cards in the video showed up. Seems to be a total mish mash of of cards thrown at you. Requires you to keep track of too many things when you're just starting! Make the darn thing simple at first then ADD complexity. Better yet just make a game outside ESO for those that like this!

Wow, I came away from this more confused with absolutely no idea whatsoever how to even begin to play. Thanks for the effort, anyway.
I think I’m going to have to watch this video a few more times, but I’m starting to think that I will never understand how to play this card game.
Still....... Dont....... Understand.......
You did a good job and the presentation was top notch. But the game seems very convoluted.
Played the tutorial, looked for help on youtube, still thoroughly lost.
Same

I made 2 patrons look at me and none at opponent but the NPC had more Prestige points and won.

@@Fextralife Ouh!! What is the cooldown pile for and when will cooldown be over?
I love Tales of Tribute ❤️ such a fun card game
AAAAHHHHH TOO MANY RULES!

@@Fextralife I'll try the card game again. With these tips I should be able to do much better. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this! I'm finally getting the hang of the game. It really is simple if you give it 30 min of thought.
Not sure you can describe something as "simple", if it takes 30 solid mins of thought to understand?
Good explanation
I bought this game recently and found this in the high isle expansion. I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting more hooked on this than actual ESO. I say this as someone whose favourite board game is Star Realms which is basically this.
Did this even go over how to use power? Did I just miss it? That's all I'm looking for

Thank you it was very helpful
Still confused
Cas is the best
Gwent?
believe in the heart of the CARDS!!!

u can, same way as u can duel them
I’m sure this is a amazing teachable way for this game, but this hurt my brain lol
BY THE FREAKEN WAY! Billy Boyd is Brahgas
Random question: Is there a real life version of this game, or something similar? I was thinking maybe 'Splendor', or 'Magic: The Gathering'? What do you all think?
It is not a Trading Card Game!
Do we have dragon cards? I got the Collector edition (I always get them) I need some crowns though.
Please, it is possible to turn off automatically cards taken from your hand during a game?? I think I accidentally hit some setting but cant find it anymore. I play on xbox series s Any hint I really appreciate. Thank you so much.
Done with Elden Ring builds?
Nah, probably just taking a break. Who knows, maybe FromSoftware will update the game by that point.
Do you lose any coins left after your turn? Mine always are taken away. Is there a way to save coins until another turn? Thanks much!
Any unspent coins are discarded, it’s why you should try to use them all
After playing it all I can say is it’s very boring. Gwent is easy to pick up yet takes a long time to master and is fun. In contrast, Tales of Tribute is needlessly complicated, yet that complexity doesn’t make the game interesting at all.

TMI to fast, i am more confused than before i came here, an the flip... you certainly know your game
🤔 I need to play to understand because the video didn't
This is worse than the in-game "tutorial;" I still have no idea how to play.
So confusing.
I don’t have a goddamn clue what I’m doing in this stupid fucking game. At least Gwent and Orlog were explained decently… and with short games. Short. Fucking. Games.
They should have just brought in TEs legends into eso instead of this confusing dog water
it's time to duel!
If they don't make ToT into a standalone game they are missing out
I wish they just ported a legends style game into the new chapter instead of this overly complicated mess too much involved
Who asked the devs for this content?
Tommy
This is supposed to be a tutorial??? Do This, then Do That is NOT a tutorial. You explain almost Nothing about the game.
Agreed and even the in game tutorial is dog water

Read the effects m8
@@PELPIDAS lol you said read...something you didn't do in the first place
@@TangoKittyOmicron look for my comment somewhere in the comments section, it may help you
Hmmm, nice vid but seems, I always lose, too boring
So gwent now comes to elder scrolls, lol
Only new mechanic in this whole expansion too. What a joke.
@@Supadrumma441 Yeah. All we get is a brand new zone, a 30 hour campaign, new dungeons, new trial, new collections, new mythics, new item sets. What a joke
