Topic: Kings and Legends / Welcome to Kings and Legends!

So the game is fun. Awesome. Except for this Gold thing. Here’s why: So you can buy Kreds to buy premium currency (typical) You can then use this premium currency to buy packs that will give you uber powerful cards (Let’s ignore the Pay to win factor here in pvp for a moment) So when you purchase gold you gain VIP points. Gain enough points and your VIP level goes up. As it goes up you get UBER rewards. So here’s the math on the Kred to VIP 10 (max level) ratio. 2k kreds(200 dollars) for 10k gold. 200k gold for VIP 10=4000 dollars. Unless this system is fixed, good luck on kong.
*Honestly, this is otherwise one of my favorite flash games ever and it bums me out that this is blown apart by the pay-to-win factor. Please consider doing something about these issues and I would be more than happy to drop money on this game and (Ive been on kong a looong time, Ive seen the opinions of the masses many a time) Im sure the community will be more giving as well if this occurs.

Noted Bman and on behalf of the clan I thank you. Your slot will be waiting for you when you get back.

Topic: Ederon Trading Card Game / Changing a Clan name. (Mistermind)

I was wondering Mistermind, if it might be possible to add an item to the shop or allow for a fee much like the sp reset fee to reset a clan’s name and tag. There was a merger of two clan’s awhile back into what is now ENG. I’ve never been a fan of the name and many in the clan would like to change the name. Perhaps allow for one free name change and only one? For a fee? A deduction from the clans gem bank or a gold fee paid by the Leader of the Clan? Just thoughts, but if you would consider it, I would, and the members of ENG would appreciate it greatly.

Topic: Ederon Trading Card Game / crash

After a Flash update it seems my “memory usage” was reset back to default. If the game is still crashing for you, try right clicking the game going to “settings” and setting the memory usage to unlimited.

Topic: Ederon Trading Card Game / crash

I was using Chrome, and I switched to Torch. It’s a different chromium based browser. While I have not had a chance to re-create the circumstances that caused my chrome games to crash, so far, it has been a better overall browsing experience and has stopped the crashing of Flash based plug-ins on other sites. That’s my recommendation. Hope it helps.

Topic: Ederon Trading Card Game / Future Sight (Please Read Mistermind)

Yeah I’ve encountered problems using firefox as well. That’s why I always use Google Chrome and I’ve never had problems with the game before. Not like this anyways. I’ll Re-download and re-install the latest Shockwave.

Topic: Ederon Trading Card Game / Future Sight (Please Read Mistermind)

Three times in a row when the card Future Sight has been played, it has caused my Shockwave to crash. Once or twice I could wave off as coincidence. However this has happened Three times on different days. Always when playing the same person. I know its not my browser or my version of Shockwave. I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem? I’ve been playing Ederon since Beta on kong and never before have I had this problem. It started yesterday and has continued since.

Topic: Elemental Power / [Bug] Inventory in fullscreen

when in fullscreen mode, the inventory screen cannot be accessed.

Topic: Elemental Power / Suggestions Thread

-To elaborate on what AmazingAlex has already stated, pvp needs balancing in some other way than tier. With the ability to buy gold in copious amounts, as it stands, even tier ones who spend a lot of money will have a severe upper hand in pvp. Thus resulting in a “p2w” stigma on multiplayer for your game. The first thoughts you might be thinking as a developer are perhaps “Well good for us, that’ll put food on our tables.” Perhaps in the short run yes it will. However in the long run, it might also lead to your game being cast aside by the community. There are enough “pay to win” games on Kongregate, and as a long time member of Kong I can assure you, none of us like them. Perhaps balance pvp by “overall deck power” A sum of points based on all the monsters in your deck. Give us filter options perhaps based as well on level. In the long run, if the non paying member of the community enjoys your game, they will spread the word, tell other people about your game, bring you new players, and will feel more inclined to spend money themselves at various intervals of their experience, because they want to see the game succeed and they want to support a game that they enjoy. Thus bringing you a steady flow of income indefinitely.

-A counter on status effects that tells the player how much longer they will be active.

Topic: Elemental Power / [Bug] Frozen Tundra

Upon defeating the boss of the first map, the second map (Frozen Tundra) will not allow you to play it. Or at least the first lvl. I know that I am not the only one to experience this.

Topic: Elemental Power / Suggestions Thread

-A Clan/Guild system that allowed for tournaments and clan or guild perks/cards to be won.

Topic: Elemental Power / Suggestions Thread

Perhaps a way to chat with other players in game. Add friends, see when they are online etc.

Topic: Elemental Power / Suggestions Thread

We should be told the instance order for spells. Which spell will be played first in opposition to another spell. etc.

Great games.

Topic: Kingdoms CCG / New Player Critique: Who Decided Pricing?!

Yajin, Ghalleon claims the same thing. And 4-6 hours on a card came doing the exact same thing over and over….make me a hamster on a wheel and put some cheese in front of me so I go round and round. Bleh.

amazing

pls leave already, you’ve been making noises about it for weeks

Seizan is right Puritas. And if the devs don’t do something about their ridiculous pricing, this game will eventually fail just like so many other “pay to win” games.

Topic: Kingdoms CCG / New Player Critique: Who Decided Pricing?!

My thread is the “Were” in the above linkage. Awesome haha.

Topic: Kingdoms CCG / In Game costs and Gem costs to lead to a "Broken Game"

I made this forum in the hopes that people who actually enjoy this pass-time would be willing to step up and say “Hey, I agree, and here is a few helpful suggestions to improve this concern.”

Instead, some of the people who have responded feel the need to do the typical internet thing and argue about something completely juvenile.

I don’t blame the devs for not taking this seriously, look at the vast majority of the content posted in response to what my original post was trying to put out there.

Better luck next time.
And Devs, if you do by chance wade through this quagmire of immaturity, thanks for making a fun ccg we can all enjoy.

Topic: Kingdoms CCG / In Game costs and Gem costs to lead to a "Broken Game"

So I’m about do a little math, and don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy this game, and would really like to continue playing. I’ll start with the 3rd tier Heroes. 3rd tier heroes cost 100,000gold or 200Gems, which is over 19.99 USD. There are 6 third tier heroes. So that (If you were purely a Gem Buyer) would be Over 120dollars USD. So why not just play the game a lot and earn cards and gold that way? Well for a victory you gain anywhere between 75 gold to 150 gold per win. For the sake of this math, let’s say you earn 100gold per win. That 1,000 wins per 3rd tier hero. At around 1-5 minutes a match coming to 5,000 minutes which breaks down to 83 hours and about 15 minutes. Or 3 and a half days. Of Straight playing. Now on to Deck pack costs. 1 pack of Gold cards is 5000 gold or 15,000 gold. That is either 50 wins or 150 wins. Let us not even factor in the “What if you lose a match” concept. I’ll also take this moment to point out that to replay levels, you have to pay “Energy.”
You start with 50 and to upgrade it, yes you guessed it, you have to pay gold or gems.

Im all for Devs getting their money, but as it stands, this is a flash game, the prices are broken, and this will cause a serious imbalance for players as time goes on. At the very least, perhaps give us a little more gold for our wins. I have spoken to a Developer in Chat recently and he told me that some tournaments (once released) will take gems to enter. Likewise Guilds when released will require either gold or gems to be founded.

If you the reader agrees that this system as it stands in game is broken, please help in speaking out as players and as the community of this great game so that it might not become another ‘Pay to Win’ game or a seriously ‘nerfed’ foundation of a game Kongregate.
