I dont say this often, but this game is garbage you got a 1 out of 5 for me. An fps that doesn't aim properly, and is difficult to determine who is on your team and who isn't not to mention is incredibly glitchy? the worst part is I can tell you put a lot of work in to it. So I don't understand why all the work is so subpar. It looks nice for free that is ALL I can say that is any good EVERYTHING else is horrible.
Oh and a tip to get more players? get your own section in Kongregates forum. Any game that does will always get an increase in players. Despite any and all other factors this has NEVER failed. Though you most likely have to attain a certain amount of plays on your game to get this feature. You could also ask for a promotional tie in for new players. Both of these will increase the amount of players exponentially. Basically ask them to incorporate a weekly challenge badge to earn ina different game with a reward for your game. Could be a specific card or an extra deck or some sudo cash or a booster pack. Something big enough to entice them to check it out even though they are playing something entirely different.
Thanks for responding back so quickly....Ok there are a lot of them so I will just pm them you instead. I don't have anywhere close to 20% of the card collection so I can't possibly tell you all of them, but there are a few I see that just seem like an odd change and I can give my reasoning too individually. I will send you a handful of PM's in an hour or so.
Thanks for your input. All balancing changes we make are not only in reaction to player feedback, but also always based on our design principles as we strive to make the game as interesting as possible for all players. Sometimes we don't get it right with the first 1 - 2 tries. It would be most helpful if you can point out which specific cards you feel need rebalancing, and why. I can then tell you either the reason why we want to keep it that way for now, or possibly rebalance the card. Thanks!
Ok this time I have problem with the update. Lots of great stuff was added yes, but its getting a tad frustrating to keep buying cards to use in your deck that have a decent ability get nerfed over and over again. I understand all about balancing I do, but lowering the atk power and hp of something that already couldn't take a single turn from multiple enemies?
Lowering or raising the turn amount of most new card abilities? I don't know that this is balancing so much as it is more like people complaining about not liking what a card does so just weakening it. Love everything else though just feel like too many constant tweaks on the different cards. When you made it so no one can attack on the first turn or specific abilities can't be played on first turn. It just seems like its dumbing the game down :( I am still playing and understand it is a work in progress. Love how dedicated you are to the updates.
McFenix..words cannot express how impressed I am with your ability to passion to respond to players feedback, and implement it in the game. When I posted those suggestions a few hours ago I did so because the server was down. Imagine my surprise to find out that the server was down to implement some of the features I had suggested would be added, which means you were already working on them. I am going to do whatever I can to increase exposure to your game as it really deserves it. Great job yet again. :) Also going to tip you know. First one I have given in my whole year on Kongregate :)
What an honor, thank you so much for your encouragement. We'll continue to work hard to meet and exceed the expectations of our players. Your feedback has been great and is much appreciated. :)
I understand that most of these suggestions are not exactly the easiest things to implement, and I don’t think anyone expects them to happen over time. Most of these however are a set of standards of sorts for CCG games, and I really do think this is a great game with quite a bit of potential, just a little rough around the edges :)
3. Choice to make multiple decks instead of having to break apart and rebuild a deck over and over again, this could be unlocked through story progression (so if someone is already past that point they will already have it) Or available in the store as an add on.
4. Some form of card category. Though this isn’t as big of an issue now as the game grows in size and gets larger it is going to become more of a hassle down the road to look through your cards to find the right ones.
5. I don’t know how this next one would be done, but some cards are clearly better to start with on the field than in others. Before I altered my deck no matter what I would start with the Mushroot card (we are talking 10+ matches here) How does the game determine which starting card is on the field? Does it take your lowest rank 3 gem summon? or is it chosen at random? Is there any way to select your starting card? You can have limitations if it would be too overpowered to start with a certain one.
Mcfenix great update! The game plays much smoother, and I got the 800 coins from completing the survey. The survey doesn’t allow many characters though so I couldn’t really give much feedback? Something like 3 lines worth of text? So I will put the suggestions here instead.
First and foremost appeal to Kong about getting your own forum room. Any MMO worth its salt needs one, I understand requirements need to be met, but if you have the room be a combined forum of the two different Totemica titles, you may have enough for whatever that number is.
2. We need a card collection of some kind, It was several hours before I could see the expansion symbol in the corner of cards due to the background being the same color as the expansion symbol.
Wow thanks for the response! I did finally get a chance to play it, and I agree with most of the top comments. The game shows promise and has some unique elements, but plays incredibly slow. I hate to say it but it seems like no one wants to play a ccg if it plays slow anymore. Its a real shame but with the speed of loadtimes, downloads, and bandwidth increasing it appears to have made everyone more impatient. Including myself. It is basically a mandatory feature to include a speed up button in ANY online CCG nowadays. As I mentioned before love the music. Came on to play again but its down for maintenance, reading the comments and your responses I am confident it is down for good reason. Well definitely tell my friends to check it out. :)
I LOVE the music! I just started to try the game out today, and I got distracted and walked away in the middle of the game completely forgetting about it. I have been in the tutorial battle for the last 4 hours listening to the music. It doesn't annoy me I feel like I am in a Final Fantasy game as I go about my day. Barely even playing just listening to epic music! :)
.........so it finally worked and I played fora few hours then it crashed again and I restarted my pc save deleted itself....done with your game until the bugs are actually fixed.
When the game loads I see the comic book menu I hit "play" the armor games logo plays and then I get a black screen.
I just started playing this earlier today and during the 4th battle horrible slowdown occurred we are talking a good 80% reduction in Frames Per Second. So I quit the closed the window closed my browser reopened it and went to this game. I have tried to play 5 times in the last two hours Same result every time it is as if the flash client fails at "retrieving" the start sequence of the game once the sponsor logo animation finishes.
This is a great game, but did not give it full marks for a few reasons.
1. It is a demo these are starting to become more common on Kongregate, but it does give you a decent taste of the game.
2. However it is a demo to a game on an ENTIRELY different platform than the demo is played on. This is discouraging to say the least. Even if I wanted to purchase it I can't play it here where I played the demo just fine. I have to have an iPad this is an odd demo to have here to say the least.
