If there's no penalty for abandoning a game, a rating system can't work. There should also be a way to simply resign if you know there's no way to come back and win.
Are you saving your deck after you remove the cards. Once you save your modified deck any cards that aren't in your current deck are available under the Sell button in the merchant.
Shadow Era was reviewed over at No Dpad and given a "Must Have" rating! http://nodpad.com/2011/02/27/shadow-era-review-a-successful-tcg-on-the-iphone/
Here's suggestions for the next update: - GameCenter matchmaking. This is of extreme importance, I'd say. Being able to play with your friends is THE main drive behind a TCG. - Enable card trading among friends. It is a TRADING card game, after all! - In-game chat. I'd settle for text messages but VOIP would be amazing. The only game that does online VOIP for chat is Flight Control, as far as I know. - Win/loses ratio. - Time limit for moves. Some people take 2-3 minutes just to pick their resource!
A lot of new features for the multiplayer system including chat and different game types will be coming in about two weeks. But the next release will still see penalties for disconnects and improved connection status display. There is already a timeout of course, but now you will realize if it is you with the connection problem... If you are getting sync error messages, that indicates a bug in the code, not connection problems. One case of sync error has been fixed in the next version but please let me know if you notice any cards that seem to trigger sync problems
My deck is only 30 cards. The problem is I'm trying to get rid of lame cards, but if I go below 30, it won't let me save the deck, so I'm stuck with those lame cards. So, I'm having a hard time to buy even one good card that I want due to lack of gold, even though there are at least five I want to sell. Also, in the beginning, I spent 750 gold on direct damage spells and then later found out that none of them would work with my current hero so those are still sitting there. I'm hesitant to sell those for half of what I paid.
I had another game that went longer and it became obvious I would win. The opponent dropped, and this time I got exp. I wonder how many turns are necessary before you get credits.
If this wasn't there, then someone accidentally going below 30 cards, while not having enough gold, would be forced to spend real money or reset their account.
Ok, so basically a card pack is 15 random cards that can otherwise be obtained by grinding the game, but the $1 is basically a shortcut? There aren't any "luxury" cards that can only be obtained in those card packs?
You spend time, money and effort to improve your deck, you're playing a game where you finally got the ideal starting hand, you're anxious to see your deck performing at its best, and then what happens? Some guy realizes on the third-fourth turn that he's screwed, and ragequits. I just had my THIRD ragequit in a row. It's so incredibly frustrating. The update that punishes this dick behavior could NOT come soon enough, Kyle.
Ok.. So interupt cards wont be here, eventhough i feel what make a game slow is not that but more because there is no time limit per step. In one game yesterday, my opp took longer time to do each steps. Not sure bcause he was slow or sync issues. If the dev attention is to make a fast gameplay n more importantly on the go, im satisfied enough. I can sit down during coffee break n play a game with my iphone. Regarding to award.. Got few games where my opps left the game. I still awarded n my rank was increased. But wondering if the reward is the same with winning the game? Few cards idea (not sure if someone has mentioned it or already available): - cards that give additional resources. For example: Hero abilities: get additional x resource Item such as research, but like: pay x resource, get x+1 resource - card that allows u to search any card from deck or graveyard and put that card in hand or in play - remove x cards from ur hand, target ally gain +x attack power Anyway.. Loves the game. Especially i can play it thru my iphone
Ok I'm pissed. I just lost my ENTIRE account. I bought 20 bucks worth of crystals. Basically logged out and created a new account. logged back in to my old one BAM it asks me to create a new character. So yea... Kyle PLEASE help me retrieve my account back... Otherwise I'm out 20 bucks... Edit: nevermind it came back.
WHAT THE ****?!??! I'm winning the game, we're on the 6th turn, the guy just sits there and does nothing for a good 5 minutes. I'm thinking he's going ot ragequit/sit there doing nothing to force ME to quit... then I get the DEFEAT screen. He didn't even TOUCH my hero. Me, on the other hand, I delt a good 4-5 damage on his guy.
