We would like to make the game more intuitive and as interesting on the first levels as on the highest. Therefore we have created a "Basic Set". This particular series contains more or less 350 cards that we have selected among the existing cards and it will be the only one new players can access when they start playing.

A "Basic Set" booster will enable one to obtain cards from this series. We want the cards it contains to be accessible to make them a good basis to start with any Eredan iTCG guild.

A permanent tournament will be set up in which only the cards from this "Basic Set" and the "Adventure" series can be played. So new players can challenge one another and cut their teeth in competitions. Do not worry, a second version of this tournament will be open to high level players so all of you can try this simplified format.

To ameliorate new players' experience is not our only aim. We also want to make the game more attractive for higher level players. We know the competitive environment is too vast and that it harms the quality of the game.

First, because of the size of the game environment, the creation of new cards becomes more and more difficult: it is now problematic to take all the possible interactions into account when a new card is created. Therefore the equilibrium of this environment has become somewhat unstable.

Second, little by little, at time and releases go by, boosters tend to be less and less interesting for players. The number of cards is far too high (many of them are outdated) and the chances to get a good card gave decreases. That explains why the prices of cards have increased.

To correct that, we have planned to create a new permanent tournament that will be played in a sounder environment, made of the most recent cards: the Standard format.

In this format, only the "Basic Set" and the Adventure" series cards plus the cards from the current Act and the two previous Acts will be allowed.

One will easily access the cards from that format thanks to the new "Standard" booster that will only contain cards from the last three Acts. Once more, that way, the access to cards will be facilitated.

The creation of this format is a solution that makes the competitive environment more easily controlled with a limited number of cards. We therefore avoid issues I mentioned before. The Amnezy tournament will still exist, of course. Hardened players will still have the opportunity to challenge one another through the existing format which contains all the Eredan iTCG cards.

We believe these modifications will be advantageous to the game and the players. One will get far more opportunities to reach the highest level, and the competition will be open to the largest number of players.

And last but not least, we have planned to modify the players' level system. We know the progression for high level players is slow and somewhat monotonous therefore we are going to set up a new progression curve so players can get the opportunity to upgrade, even at that stage. As an example, with the new system, level-20 players will become level-28 players. Players will also get the opportunity to progress and unlock rewards up to level 50 (of course no player will lose his/her progression, your level will just be updated according to the experience you acquired).

You might have understood that we want Eredan iTCG to linger on, that is why we are working to make it more accessible and approachable, to make it a game of its time so it become a reference in the world of online trading card games!

Season's Greetings

The Eredan iTCG team

Yay! Basically all of my suggestions.

I feel so validated now.

When will a or more banlist come?

Caitlyn · 24-12-2012 14:41:12

most of the important details are still ambiguous so I guess I will reserve my opinion until some of the concrete details are released.

one thing though, im not sure if I understood correctly or if it was lost in translation.
It was mentioned that the "equilibrium is unstable" but nothing was mentioned about how it will be addressed. Should I assume that the tournaments are the answer?

iQuit · 24-12-2012 14:47:50

Good job .

blackwaltz · 24-12-2012 15:40:42

how about enabling card sharing when building decks? moving a card very useful card or cards from one deck to another is rather annoying.

This is addressed with the "basic set" which limit drastically the cards allowed to play.
Then, the rotation of the acts will do the rest.

sounds like its similar to banning 1650 cards, i'm not sure how it addresses balance, but ok.

I don't get it, but I guess I will see how they implement it.

New formats sound interesting, but already thinking of the horror when you want to play "standard" with your Noz mage deck and after that some Amnezy Tourny with your Noz mage deck, switching all those rain of fires etc. around each time will be fun.......

Damncaster · 24-12-2012 19:22:45

I assume those who are influenced by the upgrade system will get the gifts from previous lvls right?

I was hoping you would mention booster price changes.

Shouldn´t we high player be able to compete at the newbie tournaments? Just to have that fun taste of playin with weak/different decks?Or we´ll have our own?

About the set for new players... i feel kinda jealous ´cause despite being a old player i didn´t have that opportunity when i started to play " and leveling screwed my win/lost ratio".

Overall i think those changes are good but... I really want to see how u´ll make the game more fun for the old ones.

kilcosu · 24-12-2012 20:53:15

so a new tournament that more or less acts like MtG, If you want to stay "standard" as magic users call it. you have to keep changing cards to keep up with the current act.

and I suppose it'll negate O.P combos between acts when new cards get released.

overall I think this update is feerik admitting to the players that they need people to KEEP playing and not rage quitting when they loose to much while still learning the game

iQuit · 24-12-2012 23:15:30

I think there should be a kind tourney which players only use decks given by the game ( the end of world tournament , the starter deck tournament ) , and it should be no entrance fee . This kind of tournament is a great for new players because they can try many decks and it's very fun .

I really want to introduce eredan to my friend but because the game lacks of support for new players beside the starter decks

I'm happy because the developers listen to the players and i will wait and see what they try to make the game better

The "new" system they got going on is a lot like Type 1 / 2, Extended, and Block tournaments in MTG.. Those have worked for years.. and if Feerik is going to add a variation of those formats into this game, I think it will be a great advancement for them.

mrmutantlarry · 25-12-2012 01:01:09

Good ideas,I really like the leveling, it just was crazy how long it too to get anywhere in the 20s. But I really feel bad for new people on the trophies, they are getting too hard and too 'grindy' even for us vets.

yeah, hopfully things do pick up, because my friends that I introduced to the quit due to how hard this game is now for beginners.

Still no card sharing mechanic? sighs* i don't even care about them tourneys >_> and i would be extremely happy and may actually spend on this game again when that mechanism is implemented but oh well

agreed, does feerik REALLY think that it's making them more money by NOT having this mechanic? I almost NEVER keep more than three of a card. Unless it's a particularly cheap chard OR I have ton form Adventure mode. But most of the time a fourth cards going up for sale.

I am happy they are taking steps to improve this game and keep get some new players, but how can we not address the fact we have to break down and rebuild decks constantly, which is the #1 annoying and time robbing factor of me in this game. Why cant we at least have a ghost card holder in a deck so we can make and keep decks and not be writing down decks on paper... if we wanted to do something like that we would play D & D. Good ideas, way to go, but please fix this most simple of requests and one of the most important to keeping people playing this game. Thanks you.

Zorak · 28-12-2012 20:19:44

Feerik hired some new guy? This is BIG. They hv all support from my clan and we can't w8 to see it happen.
