@CapAp, I hope you know that you do not need to buy gems to get what you want. Just grind for gold which takes longer to buy the same content also note that you can earn gems through achievements/campaigns/Chance from daily chest/ Soon from tournaments.
@alansmith00,. If your connection dropped inbetween your match you lose because if you didn't then you could have left any Ai/PvP match you liked without lossing any score/coins which is game abuse.
To anyone who's new to the game and would like to watch a tutorial to get you started to complete all quest visit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l3MVrcWK6Q) which was made by omegareaper7. :D
@sithlord, Well them game challenges you to gain score which increases your arena level to get the features like containing upgraded cards in your submitted deck.
@popovichh, Thrust me you will need help when the time comes to face False gods + Arena because no under built deck will do that you used vs Level 1/2. :D
@SinyoR, You can view (http://www.kongregate.com/forums/22-elements/topics/134611-v1-26-step-by-step-walkthrough-to-getting-the-elements-badges) Or one of these (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?board=366.0).
@freemod3espilon, He doesn't need help because he has the ability to create new content and improve the existing game plus he wants to work on his game by himself as it's his enjoyment. To add to Belligerence42 point, Their's not many players who donates as shards are easily gained from the Arena/pvp but it will take some time. Mostly they donate for the foil artwork of Chimera.
@Fansay, I agree new cards are needed but the process for adding new cards takes months especially if it's from the card suggestion board stages on official forums. Plus we only have 1 developer who works on bug fixes/balances/etc.
@Jostein_t3, Well you lose by decking out + Hp reaching 0, I think it's fair so in your case find a better balance of creatures/spells/permanent in your deck.
@NECROMANCER96, If you want to build a new deck without resetting then buy the cards from the bazaar to create the deck and click on your mark if you wish to change it. Their's nothing hard about that which is up to you.
@Jorn. 1500 for a upgraded card is not much, If you really want them then you must work for it. If you think it's so much then use your un-upgraded deck.
@meteorking111, Try clicking settings and set the Ai speed to High. @stern, Your tips for gaining 500 score is very very vague, Of course we must sell and buy cards and face the Ai.
