Is this supposed to happen?

Yes, disconnecting is (as far as I can tell) basically the same as not doing anything while DC’d. I think it’s so that people who get suddenly DC’d on accident can jump back in (happened to me several times). Unless you mean you didn’t get ANY rewards at all, in which case I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to have loser’s rewards.

Topic: Clash of the Dragons / Heal Cards

Some cards banish on deplete. Some cards don’t. Heal cards are in both of these categories. You might just have cards like Martyr, whereas the enemy has cards like Healing Light.

and yes u can say banish but how much banish can you do?

A LOT. This collo has lowered damage multipliers but there’s still many of the damage boosters and some single-card multipliers. Only something like half banishing cards have been removed. If you look at high rank PvP, it’s mostly banish. Also, salts only works with no non-alch humans and healing equal to haste. Building a deck around it would be asking for banish near the end of a match.

Topic: Clash of the Dragons / There should be more uses for gold

Originally posted by Slyeye89:

Hello again, sorry if my previous posts sounded rude, reading back through them made me realize that some of them could have been worded a little nicer. I guess the point I was trying to make is not that free players don’t have significant amounts of E-pots or gold, but rather that a system that used gold to auction off cards would favor those with more access to those things.

For example, a whale who has spent a lot of money to try for a specific card and ended up with lots of pots instead, would be able to spend those pots to gain a huge amount of gold so that he could ensure his winning a certain card. With this type of advantage to a certain type of player (those who spend money or were wise enough to save their E-pots from all their MBs), it doesn’t seem helpful to the community as a whole, but rather only a select few, which was what I was trying to point out.

And with MBs being indefinitely delayed, E-pots will become even more scarce, tilting this idea even further in favor of veterans and whales and away from new players.

Edit: One other thing, I don’t seem to have a problem with draining my E pretty quickly if I want to, what with the 300+ energy brawls and plaid speed. Certainly not an hour long. Maybe it’s because I’ve finished quest through all zones on normal and am just grinding Sarax now, but I could probably get to 1M+ gold easily in a day without trying too hard and go through several levels of E.

Hurray! That makes a lot of sense, and I am glad you came back to post this. I now wholeheartedly agree that certain people would get an edge over others, though I think it’d still be beneficial. Also, another problem with auctions is that most whales have a select few cards they are missing, unlike most free players who have nowhere near complete collections. I think it’d still be nice to have another use for gold, say, high cost gold pack only drafting or something, just for fun. That way you could spend gold to play what I consider and from what I’ve seen what most consider the best part of the game, drafting. It would be cool if it was expensive with token rewards for a select few cards, as regular drafting is, so that after a certain point it stops giving an in-game advantage. So, it would give a Legend for 50 tokens, an Epic for 30, a Rare for 10, with 2 tokens and 3 gold draft packs for 1st, 1 token and 2 gold draft packs for 2nd, 1 token and 1 gold draft pack for 3rd, and half a token and energy potions for 4th. Each gold draft pack would cost something like 100000? Alternatively you could just have regular gold packs for gold drafting, but that would make it take a LONG time to use up your gold.

3: Your point? Most setups are similar, the reason why, because they work. Get over it.

4: This is to prevent Hit and run tactics. This game revolves around grinding not detailed fighting.

5: This is a grinding game, get over it.

this is not an MMO and the core of this game is an Random Number Generator, thus it is ment to be random.

TL:DR
get over it.

Yes, most of the game’s core mechanics suck. But rather than play it regardless, I’d recommend quiting. It won’t do you any good to keep playing a game which isn’t your style. Also, 2 is saying rather than rewarding ability, the game rewards luck. The guy dislikes randomized, boringly similar, grindy battles.

Well, then you must be the 1% of free people who have tons of unused energy refills, because I’ve been known to buy things in clash on a semi-regular basis and I’m in dire need of those same refills…

Sigh, I give up…if you don’t even recognize that pay players level faster than free players, then there’s no pointing out how unbalanced a card auction using gold as currency would be.

Oh no, don’t give up, I want to be convinced if you are correct!

I was not aware most people were lacking in energy potions. I spend all my energy that refills, hardly ever wasting any. I mean, it takes me an hour to burn a day of energy, plus that much again if I level (which is once every other day ish), so if you are using all your pots, that would take… a couple hours a day, everyday just for burning energy. I don’t want to do that, thinking an hour is already pushing the upper limit, but I guess I was wrong.

Also, it makes sense to say something to help create something so you can be entertained, but simply saying that you have nothing to do doesn’t help much.

Uh… those who pay $ won’t buy gold packs unless they are completely insane, and level growth (and as such gold gain) is fairly constant among pay and free. It would benefit free players because they can get legends and epics from gold packs, if implemented as described.

Wait…you’re seriously saying that pay players level the same amount as free players? That those that buy chests full of E pots and candy corn and pies have the same access to gold as those that don’t?

Yes. I’m a free player and I have hundreds of unused pots and pies and corn.

Also have u guys notice there also isn’t a lot of PVPing going on except for in the colly? Most dekcs are for questing and brawling only but NO PVP. How about when you win a PVP match with an opponent, you recieve an auction token which cannot be gotten anywhere else. Then you can use these tokens to bid off. Therefore everyone has a fair advantage becuase you PVP with people your same LEVEL and skillset and you should be able to win most games. But payers do have a slight advantage.

That, I think, would be reasonable, but they might as well not use an auction then.

Originally posted by MindRiot:

I doubt there will ever be an “auction” type system for cards. It would be difficult to implement, easy to exploit to provide cards to other players you know, and a lot of stress on the server. Consider how things went when we were doing MB and SNC at the same time.

Yes.

EDIT: By the way, people should be putting this kind of thing in Suggestions.

CODE THE AVATAR GROUPS[/B]

Would it be possible to color code the avatar groups?
Give each avatar a colored frame. Color around the edge of each avatar.
You have 12 avatar groups. Red, Blue x2, Green x2, Black, White, Yellow, Orange, Magenta, Grey and Brown.

This would not only make it easier to find the avatar we are looking for, but also easier to talk about each avatar… not many people now what each avatar grouping is called.

I saw the caps part and was all excited, then realized it was color coding .
Also, use asterisks to bold things (look on the right of posting editor under Formatting Help.

Anyway, I think the game would be a lot better if some stuff got implemented:
-A more workable PvP filter – I mean, why make us sift through hundreds of people when we can specify exactly what we want and get it? EXACT level, avatar type and ignoring already blackbooked people would be awesome.
-A way to use up many scrolls at once for increasing a power – you already have it for scrap and disenchant, why not for powers?
-Perhaps an auto-sorting thing for hunting? For example, automatically running from selected enemies, automatically speed-attacking, that sort of thing?

Originally posted by rice_and_chicken:

Since gold packs are like 90% of the only thing we can get with gold, i would like to recommend more thinngs you can use with gold. For instance, let there be a section in this game where it is like an auction page, and there are 3 random cards, and people will bid on them. If noone bids on a card for like 24 seconds, the winner gets the card but he has to pay the amount of gold he bidded. After a card is sold, a new card will come in its place and etc.

I have like about a million gold packs at the moment so this is why i would like to recommend another use for gold. Thank you for hearing me out!!

Gold, as the free currency, will most likely never become more useful for Epic+ card gain. As such, your stated auction would simply create massive prices when something good come up (like graveyard mushroom brew) and otherwise have minimal, mostly low-levels bidding.

Something that I would LOVE, and think would be the most AWESOME FEATURE EVER would be gold pack drafting. That way you can use gold for the most amusing feature in the game, drafting, without DC. I would do this more than questing.

Sadly I failed to copy the log since it moves on to the next round right away….

So anyone want to help me reproduce the bug in custom battle?

On another note: @r2d2go: the in-game report bug is only useful for questing since you can focus on writing the bug report without the game forcing you to play another card…. for pvp i cant concentrate on both tasks at once (writing the report and playing the card) except if you choose to autopilot in pvp :P …. furthermore, idk if the in-game bug report is actually read since there is no reply. In the forum, Rider will reply to the bug reports which have been read. :)

Noting that, you can also PM rider in a different window, shrunk so you can do both at once without obstructing your cards. I’ll note this in the OP.

Do you have a full battle log form a fight where this occurred? I retested this card a few different times and it seems to be working correctly.

I didn't get a full battle log, just the part that was glitchy. If it happens again in a draft and I get a full battle log from that, can I get compensation for both drafts? If I can't, it's not that big of a deal, but it really did happen. I'll try to reproduce it.

When playing the card “Always a Bigger Beast,” The effect appears to be instantly fading after it is acquired. The buff neither lasted until the next turn, or applied to the turn the card was played. This happened every time time I used the card. Here are two screenshots. Sorry about the low quality. I didn’t think to switch to high quality before capturing.

This happened to me, too, in my Tresspassing Flame nonsense draft, but the effect applied.

Topic: Clash of the Dragons / attack and threat ambiguation

Originally posted by SilentXSerene:

There are some cases where attack and threats in the description has become ambiguous…. for example, the effect from mummy states that the next attack will deal an equal amount of damage…. while actually it means the next threat… the same also applies to enchanted emetic. The description in the card says that threats deal +3 dmg, however the buff shows that attacks deal +3 dmg.

Hope this visual discrepancy can be fixed sometime soon.

I believe you have confused the meaning of ambiguous (and possibly discrepancy). Attack and threat mean very different things in the game, it’s a text error/bug, not an ambiguous statement. Ambiguous means it could have two meanings. A bug means the programming doesn’t work as it should (so they put threat into the code on accident) and a text error means the text doesn’t convey meaning properly (so they put attack into the text on accident). It’s a discrepancy between the text and the effect. In any case, this happens alot. And it might be worth noting that I’ve put up a bug report htread because you and others seem to post a whole lot of bug report threads.
