I'm 12 and what is this. PS : You sound like an immature child who is butthurt over a game and over comments made by a stranger over the internet, but does not quit neither the game nor the comments despite complaining that they're bad. Just a protip

My dear child, why art thou so infuriated? I believed we were just two beings who could talk a bit but it is clear that your case of butt hurt is as large as it would be had a candy cane been forcefully pushed through your rear end. Alas, I thought you were a conscious individual.

@kingbooisawese - You appear to have a very serious case of butthurt, son. @iLLuSioN_MooN - Aflatoxin isn't even a rare card.

@iLLuSioN_MooN: The wikia is terrible for decks. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/tutorials/deckbuilding-101-from-noob-to-platinum-slayer/ forums on the other hand are much better and up to date.

@TakashiKurorai - Yes, it's possible. I have won aflatoxin (rare death weapon) from lucky spin. And I already have Owl's eyes from quest.

For new players, I strongly suggest reading this guide first. => http://elementsthegame.wikia.com/wiki/A_Guide_to_Success_in_Elements,_by_Breach
The guide is highly informative. The guide should answer almost every question you might have about this game (you don't really need to read everything in the guide in one go). There are even suggested decks for beginner, which I find very useful. I myself currently use Firefly queen deck, which is quite good and fun to use. It's also relatively easy (and cheap, if you start out as air element, since you already have a few copies of firefly queen, the most expensive card in this deck) to build one, even for beginner. I'm going to try darkness mono deck next. Can't wait to try that one out. This game is so much fun!

Wait. I am happy about my progress in the game, and you guys are giving me minus reps? Sometimes this defies logic. I thought we had a good community here where people like people.

@Dm1321- Well listen here "son", I looked back at my past comments and I noticed your comments weren't too far away and according to your profile, you seem to play this game ALOT, so you might wanna reevaluate your response.

I'm here for the best of 2009 medal.
I need a score of 150.
60 is my personal high, 0 is my personal low. I have travelled b/w these 2 no.s many a times.

My only complaint is the grind - a daily quests/daily challenge system might help a bit to break the stagnation. Beat level X Y times using Z mono element. Or, well.. anything, really.

I don't get why people are even replying to this guy. I don't get why I'm replying to this guy...Anyway, I'm not entirely sure how to break it to you...but sometimes, people have different opinions. I know it's terribly hard to believe, but it's true. There are people who don't like bacon. There are people who think your mom is kinda hot. And then there are the freaks who like elements. Get over it.

"Just as long as I have"... Son, you need to multiply the time you've been here by at least ten times before you get even close to claiming we've been here for "just as long".

@kingbooisawese - You've been here for the past week already. May I inquire why if you hate this game so much? Or are you just attention whoring?

Sometimes it looks like you are meant to lose a match. I just got EVERY SINGLE tower, and just two creatures, my weakest ones.

zin good questions. i assume u are rather new and the answer to u questions are easy enough. immaterial is in the description "cannot be targeted" as for nightfall it dsnt stack because that the way the game mechs work. nightfalls description could use a lil work to point that out since some other perms stack (Sofree for exe). what makes this game unique and fun is the fact its so simple and due to the mechanics of the game its not very easy to just "stack" things till all ur creatures are OP as hell. could u imagine some one with vamps 6nightfalls and 4 SoFrees lol
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Nightfall shouldn't stack. The card works right, but the description on it is wrong. Should be something like "while it is night, all death or darkness creatures..."
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
You can see AoE spells as "Targeting everything within that area", and Nightfall doesn't stack because there's only one moon in the sky (and because that'd just be dumb. You're casting a night within a night?)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I used to wonder why people didn't fly off into the sky. I asked, and people said "gravity". So I asked, why do things with mass have gravity? And it turns out nobody really knows. And if you can just accept that there's absolutely no reason for you to float off into space, it really isn't THAT hard to accept that nightfall doesn't stack, right?

@TDS92, the problem with losses only counting if you quit would be that if you were losing a match you could just refresh the page or close your browser and not lose any coins from it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This is a fun game but its very frustrating getting a loss added every time my computer either randomly restarts or shuts down during a match especially if its during a match I was winning. Losses should should only be counted if you quit the match yourself or if you lose. Having the option to attack your opponents monsters with you own would also be nice along with a wider variety of cards to buy.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@rainlord there are only a few cards that are broken, in the sense of a bug, and you didn't mention any. Cards being broken by being OP isn't discussed, so let's not think about that. The only thing 'broken' in the game, is the card text. Moreover, two cards can have similar wording, but a different effect (compare immaterial to SoFr).
As for this case, wording is not off. as I said before, it is an on-hit effect; meaning it only happens when it succesfully deals damage. It wouldn't make sense if a scorpion would poison you if it didn't penetrate your skin, would it?
Note that every shield in the game only affects attacking creatures, and the opponent's weapon. special effects (except for solar shield, obviously) only trigger when the damage did not get fully blocked- you won't freeze an unbuffed photon with an ice shield.
Finally, I have to ask you to not insult people. You obviously care about the game (you'd have quit if you didn't), so a good community is in your best interest.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@aonar I am being rational: either the card mechanic or the description on it is broken. I keep finding several other cards are broken and inconsistent as well. I didn't insult anyone before I was down-rated. If you down-rate me of course I will insult you. I am only one guy trying to reason with the several as sholes in this forum. Treat others as you want to be treated, its the golden rule. The way you treated me, have a big f uck you to everyone except Fr33zee, I will not reply to any stupid comments anymore.

Here is another: Immaterial creatures cannot be targeted, yet the thunderstorm that is NOT a targeting spell does not damage them. This is complete bul lshit, elementary stuff, this actually takes effort to do wrong.

Well rainlord, as you have just finished up your 7 quests badge for this game, try some other strategies. Being serious here, you cannot play any card game for the little amount of time you have played and expect to be taken seriously. Hell, I've been playing on and off for ages and still barely know anything about all the various useful decks in this game. Enjoy the game for what it is, and find/move on to others that fulfill what this one does not.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well, Rainlord, I'm sorry to break your day, but Emerald Shield only reflects targeting spells, like Fire Bolt, that target a PLAYER. It will not block Poison, and it blocks 1 damage, making the damage a creature with 1 attack would do nulled. Basically, you're arguing a flawed point. I know how the card text works, trust me. Playing a lot of tcgs help with that. Now why don't you stop complaining over one card and actually play the game?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
rainlord: Dude. You do realize you just spent however long ranting ineffectually over the fact that one single card class's ability description isn't quite specific enough for you and one card doesn't do what you feel it should, right? :P People have tried to be helpful, but you aren't bothering to listen. You've insulted the game's developer and other players (who are trying to help explain things to you) who knows how many times over something that is in the end, utterly and completely trivial, both to the game, and life in general. You're being down-rated because you aren't being rational, and you're insulting others. If you feel that's unfair, deal with it.

When I see someone make several stupid comments over the course of several days, I automatically assume that they actually like the game and are just screwing with people in the comments for their own amusement. Please do not feed the trolls.

We got it, you're right and everyone else is wrong, clearly. However, nothing's going to change, now get out of this game or stop spamming and whining in my comment section.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I would like to note, if you want something changed in game, make a post on the forums about it. If you don't, you clearly don't give a damn and should stop complaining. This is for everyone.

You are missing the point, or should I say deliberately trying to avoid it. The emerald shield does two things: one, it reflects spells. This is obviously broken because it only reflects spells cast at the elemental and not on creatures. UNLIKE OTHER SHIELDS the emerald shield doesn't distinguish between creatures and elemental, yey the effect doesn't work with creatures at all. It is using the wrong game mechanic. The shields I mentioned use the game mechanic the emerald shield should be using, they work against attacks by both creatures and elementals. You are confused with devour. Devour doesn't work with an attack, venom does. The scorpion text is fine, it is the shield that doesn't work as it should. To hit rolls are different than damage rolls, jesus f ucking christ. Emerals shield should only reduce damage not prevent the attack from happening at all.

omega: Unless you frequent the MMOs, using chat while playing games on kongregate is not the norm. As for rainlord: Try a pure death element deck with 6 poisons, 14-15 pillars, 4-5 mummies, 4-5 bone dragons. Emerald shield won't do much at that point and you'll have reliable poison damage.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Hi mr rainlord. All the shields you mention affects your opponents creature not your own. And I've played more less 15K games so I think I have noticed that. There is a major difference between devour and scorpion. Devour absorbs quanta every turn even when affected by cards like dials and freeze. Scorpion only give opponent poison when it Successfully deals damage to your opponent. I know it says every successful attack instead of successfully deal damage, so like I said the text is lumpy.

I find it funny how half the people complain in comments and NEVER jump in to chat. Pretty sure they are afraid they are wrong or something. Or don't want to be chewed out for bitching about irrelevant things.

@dragtom the problem is that emerald shield makes scorpions not hit at all instead of hitting for zero damage as it should. Hit roll and damage roll are different game mechanics and in fact other cards use them that way.
Devourers are a good example of this: they have zero attack, they don't do any damage at all. Scorps and other 1 attack creatures attack, hit or miss (eg dusk mantle), then damage is calculated. Emerald shield should reduce the damage by 1, not cause a miss or negate the attack entirely as it does now.
See Solar Shield: creatures attack and HIT, damage is reduced, you get light quanta BASED ON THAT DAMAGE. THIS is the mechanic that emerald shield says it uses, damage reduction, except it is f uckd up and the 1/x creatures never attack. The mechanic is in the f ucking game already. Stop trying to claim that it isn't and learn the difference between avoidance and mitigation. I can't believe there is a gamer alive who doesn't know that, let alone many of you.
