A summary bar (eg at the bottom) which lists the last actions of each player would be nice, so you can review the effects that have taken place. With all the random stuff from Aether going so quick it's often hard to see what effect actually happened.

@takezoido, Yup one win vs platinum can make up for so many losses plus less rings to have a chance to a upgraded rare card.

@ShizuYuki: Bronze gives low score indeed, but go to play, you win way more, for example, a 500 hp EM against anyone outside of top 10 is over 1000 electrum.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
actually there is a way. bronze arena has only up to 20 points, causing them to choose between some hp bonus or upped cards. silver arena goes up to lv 40, meaning you will face decks with upped cards and some hp. and it goes on like this. this means that bronze league is weak, and gives u low score improvement, but plat gives u a nice boost on score when u win.

Arena win gets a few points added to your score, not bad I guess. But lose once and you lose way more than you'd gain. Yet you have no real way to know whether you'll face someone around your strength or someone with 100+ wins and 150 health with rare cards. >.<

I would argue that the game is fairly well balanced, considering that it is a free flash game. There are counters to everything, and no best deck. SoSac can be countered by more than just purify (OTK, dials, trebuchet, vampires), and other cards considered OP like SoFo have never caused me any problems in any of my decks unless I get a bad draw. You just have to learn to find good synergies and to learn to play effectively.

Yeah. This game is almost perfectly balanced. Right, SoSac without purify? Right, SoFo? Right, other stuff that has been nerfed?.... Just because something has a counter does not mean it is balanced, nor that the game is perfectly balanced. The moment a deck requires a card to counter another that is dominating the meta, that is unbalanced. The moment a card is overused in several decks, that is unbalanced. If you cannot compete against that card without inserting the one counter in your deck, that is unbalanced. Do not say that it is balanced 'cause it has counters, but say it is unbalanced due to the lack of proper or sufficient counters.

@phantom What do you mean unbalanced? This game is like almost perfectly balanced. Maybe your deck just can't counter a certain card. Or maybe your deck isn't working right and you need help but don't say this game is unbalanced just because you can't counter something(assuming you can't cause most people that say that this game is unbalanced usually complain about something they can't counter).

@calindu, A vacation from working on the game. :D But why would he not care about the game after so much time was spent on it and to see how far it has come.

@qaz: Zanz isn't in vacation, he probably cares way less about Elements. Last time he logged on forum was when GoDaddy server was hacked.

@Raistlistin, I heard that Zanzarino is on vacation so I wouldn't expect the Trials update to come soon nor any other card/bug update that usually comes.

Honestly, I fell in love with this game literally the first time I loaded the page. That opening music? Damn its good.

I want to thank the people who made the awesome guides on the forums. Without their help I wouldn't have been able to get out of my losing streak and finally beat lvl 3. Thank you very much.

The only problem with the rating system are the lemmings in kong. 3 thumbs up? RAIN THUMBS UP ON IT. Three tumbs down?RAIN THUMBS DOWN ON IT! That's kind of annoying. It makes me wonder when my comments get rated up if it's just a bunch of lemmings or if people actually stopped to read and vote. (In a off note, I never vote on my own comments...)

@SinyoR, You said it for yourself "Everyone should be free to tell his opinion." this also includes voting up/down a comment.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
There are reasons for rating a comment as bad that remain valid, and thus the system should be kept. One, if a comment is promoting a change, than people should be able to vote both ways on it. Also, if people use inappropriate language or spam a lot, it's a way to prevent their comments from showing and annoying other people.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Ok, there really shouldnt be a "rate comment as bad" button. Everyone should be free to tell his opinion. Maybe has nothing to do with Elements but this had to be said xD

@jeneal: I think I said this in chat over 1000 times till now, but it's the server, opponents usually make their turn in ~10 seconds.
