Eredan's World

I think it is now time for Feerik to make more counter cards for lockdown decks. They are hard to beat because there are only few cards that can actually screw their strategy. So maybe make a permanent card that will put 2 cards from your deck to your hand at the end of the turn. Or a weapon that have an extra ability of putting cards from your deck to your hand everytime you deal damage w/ it.

Nomads can also be associated w/ Egyptian lore/mythology since some of their characters are derived from the Egyptian gods. Though the weird part is the Stone Linkers battle soundtrack reminds me more of an Arabian (belly dancing) music than anything else.

Also I like to add:
Kotoba - combination of Chinese and Japanese cultures
Sap - nature-lover / forest-dweller theme
Pirates - industrialized Western / steampunk style
Nehant - underworld theme

I don't think this week's release is weak, rather it's balanced. Maybe we have this notion of weak updates because we are used to of getting op cards. And I believe this is the way it should be. New cards should only have a subtle increase in power that will help a deck to get stronger rather than new cards that will make a deck to suddenly burst on top of the meta.

I want to say good job to the Feerik staff for having balance updates in the last past releases. We haven't gotten yet a broken card so far and I hope it will stay this way. It seems like they are testing the new cards more thoroughly now.

Yes, the same status can't be stacked on one character. If you used a card that inflicts Amnesia and the opponent already has that status, the first one will be cancelled out and will be replaced by the second.

Another thing I forgot to mention. This guild will also utilize the gender stat of the opponent to help them in battle, just like how Crow utilize Initiative in their strategy. So most of the cards they use take into consideration the opponent's gender and have different effects depending on it.

Ex.
Sexy Wink
Attack +2
If the opponent is male his next card is ignored.
If the opponent is female draw 2 additional cards next turn.
If the opponent is unknown a card attached to him is discarded.

I wish this will be the last time we have this kind of nerf. I mean I hope in the future releases Feerik will test longer and thoroughly the cards before releasing it to the public. As the saying goes "prevention is better than cure". And allowing this nerfing just makes Feerik lazy to playtest cards because they will just say "nah, we don't have to test them we'll just nerf them if things go out of hand" w/c I think is a very bad mentality.

Iirc this is their 3rd time to nerfed cards and it seems they haven't learned their lesson from previous mistakes and still keep on making op cards. And there seems to be a pattern here:

1st card modification:
*Dec. 19, 2011 - nerfed Sol'ra Avatar, Living Nature, etc.
*after two card updates they've released Ecstacy

2nd card modification:
*June 20, 2012 - nerfed Ecstacy, Wild buds, etc.
*a week later they've released Kan-del, Compendium secret

3rd modification:
*January 16, 2013 - nerfed Kan-del, Compendium secret, etc.
*I will not be surprised if in the next updates a new batch of op cards will be released that will take months before it will get nerfed.

This practice needs to stop. Don't get me wrong I support rebalancing of op cards but what I don't agree w/ is they do it months after releasing these cards, and after they milked every cent out from these op cards. Why do they have to wait 7 months before nerfing Kan-del and Compendium secret when in just weeks we can already feel and see their brokenness. 

Not to mention Feerik buying cards from players are bad in the game. When Feerik buys card from a player, they are adding unnecessary crystals into the game w/c results in an excessive amount of in-game crystals as opposed to when players buy cards w/ each other where crystals are just being transferred. Not to mention the cards will be deleted in the game w/c will make these cards fewer in circulation and since getting older cards from boosters are harder (particularly the rares) it may result for some of them to be overpriced.   

Again to be clear  I like this kind of rebalancing and changes, but what I don't like is the way they implement it.

Hey you are right I overlooked that part going to edit it now.

About the duration, as i mentioned on the Special Note, each abnormalities have different duration depending on the card it was created from.

Ex.
Blinding Charm
Inflicts Blindness to the opponent for 3 turns.
Inflicts Charm to the opponent for 2 fights.
This card is discarded at the end of 4th turn.

Come on guys lets be realistic here. To implement these suggestions Feerik need to do some intensive and elaborate coding which also require time and energy, and for what, just for players to get better cards? Feerik won't do that. As we all know Feerik would rather waste their energy in making op and broken cards or a milking event for them to gain money. I know it's harsh but that's the truth.

Another case, in a programmer's point of view, when you say that cards will be blacklisted it means each card that each player get from each adventure boss will be saved in order for the system to know what cards to blacklist. That will eat up a lot of space in the game's server. 

But I do agree adventure drop should be amended. I already suggested before an easy and simple system that doesn't require complicated codings. Instead of forcing you to accept random crappy cards, 5 cards will be shown to you and among them you can choose w/c ones to get.

Are you sure about that? If I remember correctly I've read a post by one of the staffs about a year or two ago that said everytime a player used feez in this game they will have access to the market. And I've never read anything saying they changed it otherwise. As a matter of fact I've tested that in last year's Advent wall where I spent feez on an unopened latch and got myself market privilege for 3 weeks.

Why and when they changed this rule? It is specifically written that whenever you used feez to purchase anything in this game you will have access to the marketplace. And as far as I'm concerned this has been the case since the beginning of the game and then changing it suddenly w/o even informing the players. Another bad move by Feerik, really bad.

It's for mage only.

What is the purpose of [card]Once upon a time[/card] we've got in today's wall? Stone linkers aren't even weapon users. Or are they?

Yeah I've noticed that too a long time ago but I thought I'm just only having some bad luck. Before, the boss specific loot is easier to obtain but now it seems it became rarer to drop. I've beaten the slimes over 600 times (and that's not an exaggeration) but I still haven't gotten a second slime card.

The worst part is the random loot is always the same crappy common cards. I don't even think the drop is random. I think there are set of cards (mostly crappy commons) that are predetermined to dropped in most times. For me the card I got the most number of times is Winter truce with 27 copies.
