Eredan's World

I got a 1000 XP card off one of them just not sure which and I have gotten a few rares but never really thought to document really great cards or anything.

FB is a 25 BILLION dollar business.. yeh.. its shutting down.. lol who wants to lose that.

I think you are also confused about the cards being "promoted" they are being promoted because they are new cards. Every week the game gets a few new cards but that doesn't mean they are in every pack opened. The real promotional cards would be like the level 2 Team Spirit where you got one in every pack upon the release of Desert Nomads..

Meh, ive never been a fan of ELO in these types of games. ELO was built for games such as chess... where strategy and skill are what wins the games. Here there are too many bad factors that make it a bad idea.

Lets say I am playing IHAS, by chance all 3 of my IHAS cards are at the bottom of my deck. I have to discard my entire deck to get to them, then on top of that get my gy discarded...

Luck games are not meant for ELO... games just need to be set

You win a match you gain 30 points
You lose a match you lose 10 points.

You still go up against players your skill level but don't have to stress gainign 8 and losing 20... its always a set amount..

if its a draw then well... both players gain 15 points.

or a chainable action card and a spell and attack.

i did it by just discarding 3 jewels throughout the entire game.. its easier if you stack like 5 jewels in it just so you draw them.. no winning stipulation on this one.

most people that run any counters will only run 1 of that counter. I run 2 freezes but most will only run one.. which is why my IHAS deck did so well.. most people only run one anathamitize. I would stop discarding items once i had about 8 in the GY and just start using watcher IHAS. +8 is enough to kill a lot ... and if they anathatmitize then i would discard the rest of  my items and would normally still take the win.. maybe with a death or 2 but the win was the important part...

The only problem I can see with completely lifting the amount of games on the training room is this:

I'm a new character learning the game
I don't know a lot about the game but im not spending money on it right now
I kind of get the concept and now after a few days know how all the rooms work
I am level 5 and am getting beat by kob decks (I shouldn't have chosen noz) lol how many chose noz to start >.<
My cards are barely leveling in the leveling room and the training room levels them a little faster.
*IDEA* I start a new account chunk a crapton of money into it, ok we will go with a small amount of money maybe 200 USD or 10000 feez. Of course I do this on a week when premium packs are 50% off.

I LOAD up on cards! woot got lots of great rares now.

I level up my cards I am still level one.

For the next 2 or 3 months I casually play in the training room and finally finish tele, abom, shadow with an AMAZING deck lineup!

I go into the level 1 room... and wreck.. lvl 5 room.. wreck.. lvl 7 room wreck.. lvl 9 room... wreck.. etc etc etc...

I would much prefer they up it just a bit to maybe 10 matches a day and make xp for the cards change

Characters:

Win: 30 xp per card
Lose 15 xp per card

Bonus XP chances:

Perfect + 5 xp per card
If at full life +3 xp
if above 1/2 life +2 xp
if below 1/2 life +1 xp
if dead +0 xp
Turn Activation: +1 xp each turn activated (cards included)

Non character cards

30 on a win
15 on a loss

bonus xp

+5 if the card is used
+0 if the card is not used

PS. they would need to do something about power leveling by quitting after 3 turns. Like add fairplay to the training room and make it so if you quit a certain amount of games a week you get a temporary ban from the training rooms (this would be a random number each week as someone couldn't figure it out to be 20 in a week and quit 19 every week).. if its constant then you will end up with a perm ban from the training room... stupid xp traders..

The original poster is asking for something that is (or used to be) similar to ***biiiiipppp*** bip. Every week players can vote on banned certain characters. The top ones get banned for the week in ELO. The game designers choose only the most popular decks and normally choose a key card in those decks. Actually, I think they ban the whole clan. Not sure it has been awhile since I played ***bip***. This allowed diversity and kept one deck archetype from destroying ELO all the time. It allowed for more skill.

Now there was a benefit. Higher ELO players received more votes. so a player that didnt play ANY ELO would only be allowed like 1 vote... a player who focused on ELO and scored well might get 20 votes.

In a deeper explanation, right now lets say in ELO the metagame is Tele, shadow, abom. Other ELO players could ban Zil from ELO for the week. This would allow the metagame to change AND give the developers a look at whats going on. If zil is being banned every other week (the current banned clan can't be banned the following week) and then say pirates is being banned the weeks zil aren't, then they know something is off balance with zil and pirates. If it seems pretty even then they know balance is being achieved.

On top of that, ***bip*** also "retires" cards. These cards be CR or collector. This not only ups the value of the cards (for horders like myself to sell) but also can achieve other bonus':

Able to sell the card for more
Makes the card rare since the longer the game goes on the more people quit and the card becomes increasingly more difficult to obtain.
Not only rare cards become collectors... commons and uncommons can too. (although they only deal with characters this game has multiple "types" of cards)
This also changes the meta game since say, ergue, is a collectors now, this now makes abom cigue and the other one (sorry its early in the am for me and brain isn't functioning yet) a type of collector since they require him.

The important part is that common cards go collector as well... its nice when a card goes collector and you have 10 or 12 of that common card.. its price goes from 100-200 crystals to easily 5000 crystals.

this benefits long term players of the game while still making the cards accessible to new players.

breezy i dont think its THAT organized yet... i think its just look in the chat channel see if someone is there.. if you haven't lost then you play them type deal.

So here is my rough lineup.

Tues: classes and lots of homework to make up
Wed: homework to make up and work
Thur: Finals

Not sure what time zones everyone is but I am in EST. Hope I can meet up with some of you guys soon to play. I am excited about it but at the same time know we are against some top players ^_^ I will give my all and hopefully it is enough to pull out a win for my team. If not well im sure the games will be great.

just a thought but perhaps punch line should read like Self Confidence and say, your characters high attack equals his printed low attack. Your character makes a magical attack instead of his next physical attack.

or Your character deals magic damage instead of physical damage on his attack. Don't really think next is needed it almost sounds like next means the following turn. Everyone knows that if it is played on the current turn it will affect the current turn unless otherwise stated. 

The only misconception with it might be that people might think armor still negates some of the damage where when using the card since it is magic damage it should go against the spirit score. I won against an abom deck that used this card, I guess he didn't realize his attack was going to suddenly drop from the like 24 it was at to as low as it did.

those are my only suggestions for improving punch line. I thought I was dead when I saw it come out until I saw how it worked.. so maybe its confusing for more than one person.
