I guess I can't wrap my head around that particular animation and those particular card designs trying to "sell the game." I can't imagine any guy looking at that and saying "Woah hot babe. I'm going to play and drop money." When I saw it my initial thoughts were "Badass Ninja chick." Guess I'm weird for not bringing sex into it. But I can respect the 'Sexualisation of women" argument. I just again, think it's ridiculous to bring into a card game.
@Sasquatchius An advertisement that the games content is poor? "Flagrant stereotyping." Uh huh...gotchya. Wow man you're reading way too much into a simple animation and card design. First, the idea that the image is an "Advertisement that the games content is poor" is a total fallacy of logic. The two points are unrelated. Second, the "Sexualisation" of women is from your male perspective. For something to be sexual you have to attribute it to sex. I personally had no such thoughts when looking at the animation. I can respect the desire to respect the sexuality of women, but that concept has no place in a videogame. It's over-analyzing to an extreme.
Look I don't mean to be a jerk here, but all the negativity about the intro screen is really un-warranted. It's like the guy in Clerks who walks in and gets all offended because Dante and Randal are having a perverse conversation. To you the offended/turned off player I offer you this: Who is to say that the scantily clad babe in chain armor isn't a warrior in Ederon Lore? Who's to say that in the world of Ederon she is not part of some elite Amazonian sect of warrior babes who kick ass and take no names? Just my two bits, but really if a hot animated babe is enough to get you all grrfunked and turned off from a truly great TCG then to you I say your loss. Open your minds to the idea of fantasy. Look not at what is, but what could be.
@Skyrunner: Yes, you are supposed to select 'any' might I suggest you help this game along by giving it 5 stars so that it might get featured and the community therefore will grow? I also suggest you join a clan as the people in them are more than willing to help. Play the campaign, get sp and use that to get new cards for your deck.
I really like the game, but please the game screen is too big, even zoomed out it doesnt fit properly. On fullscreen it exits me out after battle and I have to reclick fullscreen. And when it is fullscreened, it doesnt fit to the screen. There is black and then the game...like the game is pushed over. Please fix this! Otherwise, 5/5
You know. I remember a time when gaming was about gaming. It was about creating something fun, refreshing, ground-breaking or heck even moderately captivating. Game developers did what they did because they enjoyed what they did. Sure, they might have asked for a few bucks to eat so they could continue doing the good deed, and in return they would give you something *not game-breaking* that made the experience feel a little more your own. Nowadays, every single flash game and their mother has either a cooldown time or an energy system. Making us either wait or pay. Rather than enjoy the game. Nowadays games aren't so much about being excited and accomplishing something awesome, but paying up your hard earned dollars so you can win for awhile before paying up more hard earned dollars. I get that the developer has to eat, but creating a system that ruins the games experience as a gamer makes me feel insulted. Cut and dry is cut and dry, and the golden era of gaming is over.
So after getting rid of the energy system that only allowed for a certain number of maps to be played before needing to wait for it to refill (which wasn't so bad because the exp was good enough that you could lvl up and get a refill before you ran out of energy and had to wait if you knew what you were doing) Now you need energy to get that old amount of exp and drop rates from before the energy was "removed" To high lvl players this means little, as they have the jump on newcomers. But now it takes twice as much of your time to make progress as it did before. In "listening" to your players, you've actually made the game worse. I really thought this game was a lot of fun, but now I have to devote twice as much of my time on a "casual" RPG just to make the same amount of progress as I did before the update? Watching my guy run back and forth is monotonous enough. 2/5 on what was a 4/5.
Energy systems are just one of those things that turns gamers off. And it's a shame, your game looks good. It has good presentation. It has an appeal to the Rpg fan sure. But what it lacks is a true reason to do more than grind your life away. It lacks a substantial challenge. It lacks that"Carrot" that keeps us going and feeling that sense of accomplishment upon completion. The energy system really needs to go, this is an RPG and all the energy system does is make me feel like you're more interested in getting my money, than allowing me to enjoy the game's experience. Which makes me not want to spend money on the game at all. And maybe an explanation on what the stats actually effect and how they change our gaming experience. That would be nice.
So many negative comments lately. How about a positive one for all the newcomers reading the comments. This game is fantastic, great strategy, great community, great music. The players of Ederon are always willing to answer any questions you might have about the game. A couple things you should know going in to the game:
It's going to take awhile if you're not used to card games to get the hang of it.
Try all the starter decks before signing off on the game as rubbish. Find one that suits you best.
It's going to take awhile before you get the chance to really make the game your own by getting your own cards. Just stick with it, remember that we've all been there.
Finally, help out the community by rating the game 5stars. If the game gets featured, many more players will join, which means a more balanced start for newcomers.
Hi @Shadow, we will fix the auto-combat thing soon. Thank you for your support
