@simonepos: Just because you think it makes it worse, doesn't mean it makes it worse. Dusk isn't even the best shield, that belongs to dime shield. 100% chance to miss > 50% chance to miss. Not to mention, because you are only likely to carry 2, maybe 3 copies of the card, the probability of drawing it isn't fantastic. Then you have all the ways around shields to. Dime shield makes the game not even pure luck, if you don't bring a counter, you lose. Dusk isn't nearly that bad in comparison.

@simonepos You were downrated because there are many cards that counter dusk shield: deflagration, shard of focus, steal, pulverizer, shard of freedom, momentum, shard of wisdom, etc. Not to mention many strategies that dont rely on creature damage, dusk shield isn't a particularly good card, and certainly does not "bring alone a whole match to rely on pure luck".

It does make the game worse and i honestly don't understand the downrating for the comment. I thought it could be constructive criticism. In my opinion, a card that can bring alone a whole match to rely on pure luck, just makes this game a lot worse. Also i'm coming to think that randomizing has some serious issues with this game.

@WebMage: I have put off way too many of the multiplayer badges on Kong, and now so many of them are not achievable. I feel your pain.

@WebMage it's still possible, click Achievements -> View highscores -> PVP victories -> Today, someone has 8 pvp victories just today, and this tracks only kongregate players, not all elements players.

Sure do wish it was possible to get the pvp badge on this =/ Apparently I decided to put it off after 4 wins at some point in 2010 or 2012.

@shadowhard: Its not hard in the least though, you can make a deck that can easily get you there in under an hour without even playing a game.

You know this is a good game. Getting 500 score is not fun. It's stressful and time consuming. A couple bad games and I'm back down to 0. That medium badge should be hard.

Turn 8: Oh hey, you brought a nice pair of untargetable phase dragons. It would be a shame if someone brought....a Skull buckler!
Turn 10: Oh hey, nice immortal skeleton party out there.

@camorve .... But still mind flayer is easily killed . Mine has been killed so many times. Or there is also a trick you can use ... Play 3 or 2 creatures at once , it will only able to target one . Then you will be able to use your skill and maybe kill it with it. Myself , when there is a monster with devour or a lobo on play , I play a fallen druid and squid at the same time. If it targets my druid ... I congeal it . If it targets my octopus , I eiher create a mutant for myself or turn the enemy creature into something else ( while hoping it will be shit . Fallen druids have 100 % of chance to make a mutant ).

@camorve: The lobotomize ability is a weapon ability, so unless your opponent had cast flying weapon on their Lobotomizer, otyugh and virus wouldn't be much help against it. Regardless of this, most unique weapons are pretty good, that's kinda the point of them. Is being lobotomized any worse than being reverse timed every turn by an Eternity, or just directly killed from an Eagle Eye? Is it any worse than not being able to play things because your quantum generation is all messed up from a Discord or a Trident? Having your creatures be lobotomized isn't fun, but every Element has a unique weapon, and most of them are just as annoying to deal with as Lobotomizer.

I think the most hated ability in this game is lobotomizer, makes the game stupid: you play a virus to destroy it, lobotomized; you take an othyugh to devour it, lobotomized. You just can play using brute force
or with lots of luck

@camorve That is not a bug - just how the game works. The attacks are done sequentially. Play stops as soon as you fall below zero, even if you would have come back to positive health at the end of your turn. Likewise, if you beat an enemy by creature attacks, you will not get the elemental master gold bonus unless your health was at full before your creatures attacked (ie. permenants that heal, such as sanctuary or druids staff, are not counted if your creatures kill the enemy first)

Tiny bug: I made an enemy have -11 attack, but that turn I would still have positive health, but I was below 0 so it automatically stopped and I loost

For everyone wondering: The servers broke, the data is currently set back to March. It might be fixed, so hang on for a while.

Confused, been playing for a few weeks but tried to get on today and it says my Kongrerate username is not recognised, not having an issue on any other games. Anyone else having a similar issue?

@dragoncrusader: Better gameplay is completely subjective. Just because you like something, does not mean it is better as a whole.
