Blog #007: Community websites - do you know them all?

in godsunchained •  5 years ago 

While we are having fun playing the game, grinding core cards and desperately trying to rank up, some people put a lot of work into giving us a better overall playing experience. The Gods Unchained community is amazing, within a few months tons of self developed websites popped up. There are so many that you might not even know all of them. For convenience, I am listing them here and will talk about their pros and cons.

gu.cards

Maybe the most famous community site is gu.cards. It has a ton of functionality, and the best part isn't even available yet! gu.cards aims to be a market places that coexists to the official one, which will launch soon. The owners are continuously adding new features, like trading multiple cards at once. But this site is also great for browsing cards. There are tons of search options and if you know at least something about the card you are looking for, you will definitely find it here. This is also the only site that comes to my mind if you still want to buy a ticket for the big tournament. And on top of all that, there are things like user created combos, opening multiple packs at once, or a deck explorer. Those are neat, but especially for browsing decks there are better options available. Some feature are only available if you are logged in.

gudecks.com

gudecks.com is another marketplace for cards and everything else related to GU. While they did not announce as many features on reddit as gu.cards, their deck- and meta-statistics are superior. You can check how well each god power performs in which rank, how successful different cards are, and so on and so forth. Of course you can also stalk the most successful players and their decks ;) If you want to build a new deck and need some inspiration, go to this site!

guCollection.com

This site was especially helpful when the genesis sale was still running. It was able to safe 9% on every purchase if you used this site, simply because they were paying back 90% of their referral-earnings. I have purchased all my Genesis packs there! The site also has some convenience features, like showing you a pack score based on the rarity of contained cards and smart opening of packs, where only the best pulls are picked so you can manually open them. The other features aren't really worth mentioning compared to the other sites, except for the live ticker maybe, where you can always see the results of the last matches played. I guess guCollection.com will come in handy again when there is a new set for sale and I hope this site continues until then!

unchainedstats.com

Another popular GU related website that shows some stats of all the player, like ranking, tthe last results, gods/decks played and most importantly wins during weekend ranked. The last feature seems to be a little buggy, but it's still helpful to see if you qualified for the next reward tier already :). On top of that, you can browse decks and immediately see how many of the needed cards you own and which ones you are missing (this feature is also covered by gudecks.com).

Still not enough?

There are some more websites that offer GU related content. GUcustomcards lets you create your very own GU cards and is very easy to handle. Then there is godsunchained.info where you can gather information about the rarity of certain cards and all cards in general. As of now, the community-wikis fandom and gamepedia are not filled with content and therefor pretty useless, but this might change in the future. Finally, there are the social-media platforms, where all the exciting news are posted. The discord channel and the GU subreddit are always there to help you out. And last but not least you can also check out the steem-related TeamOCD discord channel. A lot of promotions are going on there, and someone is always online to talk to :)

Great list and description of some of the sites used for GU!

Don't forget the following site, which has been really helpful for determining weekend tournament reward tiers:

Did I forget something? Write it in the comments :D

I'd say https://unchainedstats.com/ is pretty important if you plan on keeping count of your weekend ranked wins and want to know what decks high level players are using. Has a lot of good stats to munch on!
