Death + Water+ Dark deck, I can win very easily by outlasting my enemies and seeing them die poisoned. However, it is a PAIN to get enough score (150! I still am at 110!)

lower upgrade cost? http://elementsthegame.wikia.com/wiki/Nova_Rush this deck costs like 10000 electron and is all about upping....

I agree with omega and edc here- I've given some false/bad advice over the time I've been playing. and every time I've almost immediately been corrected.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I must agree with omega here. The amount of people who would give bad suggestions on puropse is very very low, actually I can't rememebr a sinlge one in over a year. And even if such person would do that there is usually someone else to tell you the truth. Secondly yes typing things several times is indeed ineffective but I think it's better than asking in chat.

aefields: You assume the worst of people. Generally, people give fine answers. You should be able to tell when they are completely bullshitting you. The forums is much better for info then the wiki, it is kept a lot more updated and relevant.

@edcedcedc "And why not ask thing in chat," Because the answers come from random people. The Wiki is a useful place to look. Permanent. If people who know would improve it, that would be better than saying the same thing over and over again to new players. Lots of typing. Lots of assuming that honest people are on-line to answer the questions and that they are motivated enough to do so. Thus assuming dishonest people are not on-line.

Well, posting your questions here is lame, it isn't what comment section is for. Don't be shy, come ask us in chat, I am sure someone will help you/answer your questions/give you useful links.And if you think your deck sucks, you can always simply change

aefields yes this game ain't newbie friendly but the developer is workign on the next patch wich will make it easier for beginners. And why not ask thing in chat, faster answer saves comment space?

@skubaskibum
You're saying that because the game's too hard for you. If you had any other reason you would tell, but I see that "haters gonna hate" now, in your comment. Also, the game isn't stupid. You simply don't appreciate it. Tell me, how will you feel if you make a game and everyone posted that the game you made is bad because it's too hard? Well, that's what you're doing at your comment.

Listen, pal, I've been playing this game since September 2011. My score is in the 6 digits. If you can't win with your deck, maybe it's because your deck isn't good. Maybe you should try to improve it, streamline it, or simply changing it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
You know what else is stupid? posting critics about a game you barely played, I said this many times before and I will most likely have to say it agian. Stompy made a test see how long time it takes to reach 500score from scratch, it took him 7 matches and 20 minutes. If you want to know how ask me or anyone in chat. Also Vragas if your deck got 58 boens without winning you are clearly doning somethign wrong you should have won befreo you even got colse to that many bones. Imortals are good yes but they are slow and expensive so. Also it's easy to counter imortals I could make at least 10 decks who easilly can so they are not broken, face the fact you don't know much about this game.

Did they use a card named shard of wisdom on that immortal? That deals spell damage, negating shields. Same with momentum. Otherwise, a card such as SoW is really the only good use with immortal.

That's the point frozengaia... I created 4 decks until I could understand the game properly. The match I pointed I was playing with a deck of schrodinger cat + bone to generate skeletons. I got a bone wall with 58 charges and they simply ignored it. They also ignored the Plague, which affects EVERY creature and I don't target anything...
I played with an water and fire deck of steam machines and toadfishes, and I got another problem: my fire shield wasn't hurting them the way it hurts the others. It's just STUPID! This is what I'm trying to say here... I know there are decks and decks, and some are the counter strategy to some (I play card games since a long time...), but this is just unbelievable!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Vragas: That just sounds like you had a poorly built deck. One thing does not make the game poorly balanced -_- Also, if immortals were so poorly balanced, they would see a LOT more use then they do, especially in the competitive environment.

My point my comment below because I forgot to add it: All decks have one or two cards that are the absolute bane of existance. Immortals are the bane of your deck. Purify and sanctuaries are the bane of mine.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Ragas: What's your deck? My deck has very few problems with immortals. My deck has a ton of problems with sanctuaries/druid staff decks but a ghostmare or Shard of Void deck is not. There's a card specifically designed to target untargetable enemies, as well.

Dude, omegareaper7, you should look to every aspect of a game before loving it so much like you do. The game is poorly balanced. IT IS, accept it!
During a PvP game, I was winning the game until the opponent got an immortal creature. He just ignored all my 58 charges of the bone wall and didn't get hit by the plague. Immortal can't be TARGETED, but does that means he can ignore spells that affects everybody and event ignore my shield? Pff, enough said. I won't expect any answer, since i'm assuming you are blind and will ignore everyone's opinion just to lick the creator's butt.

@SpencerW37: If you played for an hour and couldn't buy at least one card, you are doing things very wrong. An hour should buy you at least half a deck if you were doing things right. Ask for help in chat.

Also, if you can negate 4 damage (via a shield?) you can stop arsenic from dealing damage (maybe. This is speculation.)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Disco: Destroy it. Steal it, as distorsion said. Purify stops three hits of arsenic... (Wait... +2, +1, 0,... yeah, three) Purify is also culumative. Omega is also correct- heal screws over poison.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@distorsion: You don't need neurotoxin to have good poison. 'Also, one sanctuary cancels out 2 poisons. One heal cancels out 2 turns of 5 poisons. Think about that for a bit.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
disco,poison isn't too too bad...u can just steal,defrag or destroy (butterfly effect) any weapon really...if u want good poison,use neurotoxin from the dune scorpion: 1 extra poison damage for each card played (by you AND your opponent)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@discostupid: If poison wasn't cumulative, then it would be worthless. It is just another form of damage, just like creatures. Not to mention it is super easy to out rush or stall through usually.

Vragas, we do listen to others ideas, the thing is that we have dealed with them so many times we just dont' care as much as we used to. ANother reason is that you haven't played for long and even so you come with critics about the game and most of it is uncorekt. Mpots made a test to see how logn time ti takes to reach 500score starting from scratch, took 7 games, 7, so just ask and we will help you.
So conclusion is don't come with critics about game before you know it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Um, choose which two elements? You can put whatever cards you want in your deck... there's no strange element limitation or anything like that.

@Vragas: Everyone jumped on blackwolf because he clearly didn't know the game well at all. The game is pretty well balanced actually. It has a few cards that stick out, yes, but every game does. Bazaar does update, but slowly, when new cards are actually added. Rares don't make decks that much better at all. And I don't care to respond to the rest of the wall of text.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well, should I even teach him how to fix it too? You want suggestions? Put more cards in the bazar, since my enemies have weapons of 7 damage while I hit them with a dagger of 2 damage; make it easier to change your deck's strategy, because 10 coins per victory isn't enough to build a decent deck (I took a HUGE time trying to win the level 0 using a water deck because I got no creatures for 8 rounds); if we are going to start a deck with 2 different elements, let us choose which 2 elements we want (since some of them are just poor against many others, even at lvl 1).
Happy now? :)
Btw, why is everyone's butthurting just because I said it isn't great? Check other card games... Seriously, do it. Even Duel of Champions.
IXBlackWolfXI pointed some problems and kind of suggestions, and you all attacked him. Can't you guys accept an opinion different than yours?
The game isn't well balanced and it's a FACT! Since the start.

@Vragas: Except you really aren't pointing anything out. All you really said was that not being able to block was bad, when it really isn't. As for your score, just as for help in chat. Honestly, with a little help, it doesn't take more then an hour to get to 500, much less 150.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
No I think you ask for reviews pointing out weaknesses and shortcomings. Your review is bad and poor as it doesn't even take the time to explore the game fully or appreciate its strengths in the least. As a dev I would just go 'haters gonna hate' since you don't offer suggestions of actions any developers can take to improve the game. Just a poorly done review, if you can even really call it that.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@omegareaper7: That's the point! At first I didn't understand how some stuff was working (like poison). When I realized how it worked and how to build the deck, I got -55 score and 0 gold. How am I supposed to reach 150 for the badge this way? Can you understand what I am saying? I'm not trying to be a hater or whatever, but there are lots of games with some "mechanical" problems, I'm just pointing them so someone can see this and take a look...
(trust me, the thing I do the most is asking for bad reviews of the games I create)
