ranking systems is somehow not balanced, u can win dozens of games vs players with lower but still high enough rating and u get then only few points for all these games.
@nicoga3000 If you haven't played TCGs or CCGs before, I'd probably wait until v1.25 to check it out. If you're an avid card game player, I'd dive right in. But the game is free so if you're just bored, why not give it a whirl. EDIT: @eev From the FAQ: There are some points to nitpick though, like rating loss when it's a tie.
@AnAdolt i know, but it does not change my opinion about how this system works, especially because it's impossible to choose the player to play vs.
Kyle, please fix multiplayer sync issues. I often get this message n force me to quit. The thing is, my internet works fine. But when the quit button count down comes, i can do nothing but to quit. The worst part is, my rating goes down cos im defeated. How come? Not my fault though.
With the two sync errors I got in v1.24, after the message came up, I was able to continue the game although lots of crazy things happened after the error. I clicked on the confirmation for the sync error, waited a bit, and the game resumed. Part of reducing sync errors is having them reported so post it as you get them. Note the game(example, Vinkev (302) vs Moogaga (252)), time of the game, and your timezone. Because even the devs can only go back so far, since the server only saves your last 3 games, a video report is probably preferred.
sync issues with a game vs player xi520cyl - minus 6 points. i would say this is very annoying, i need to win now at least 10-15 games to get 6 points back. edit: another issues is lobby, there should be possibility to drop the game before the first turn without any consequences, otherwise u have to play vs 100 card decks or something funny like that.
I get hit by sync problem at least twice so far. Would it be safer if I just kill the app instead of quitting the game? Not that I mind too much about my ranking but I don't like being treated unfairly. I still notice some players still try to "win" by trying the timeout loophole when the game is not favorable -- fortunately, with some patience, none of them gets away...
any news about update with bug fixes? just lost several games because abilities of Zaladar and Elementalis are buggy. also would be cool to see new statistics about percentage of the won games on the play and on the draw (real statistic, with dropped games too).
@currymutton You can still try to salvage games with sync errors and continue playing. I did for two recently and was able to win them. The game still seems to leak memory so I would recommend re-opening it after an hour or two; whether you're playing on the computer or on an iOS device. Just so crashes don't bite your PvP games. If you're really paranoid, it might be safer to restart your iOS device, rather than just re-opening the app. As for a "timeout loophole", most or all of these should've been addressed, if not, PM Kyle the details and he'll try to fix it ASAP. @eev You're on the Shadow Era forum so you're probably up to date. In case you're not aware, Kyle is working on getting that test server up again and that should be here.. "soon".
What that guy said. If anyone's reading this relatively close to the time of posting, come play me before I goto sleep for the nigh--oh, it's "morning".
Haven't checked the Official Site yet, but thought I would ask if there is any news on the update yet...? I really don't want this game to die out... I don't think it will... but silence is scary.
Game's not going to die out. Now is about that time that people have digested most of the new cards and strategies are reaching a plateuing point so there's lesser chatter. Kyle's busy trying to squash all the bugs as well. Also, I think more people have made an account and are mainly posting on the official forum. Hence the quietness here. The test server is interesting as there's alot of card balances so I hope people will spend some time on their and give feedback for the changes. There's not as many PvP games on the test server but you can still get somewhat of a feel with AI games.
1.25 is out for Android and pc/mac already, so I think we can safely assume that the iOS version is either in the approving process by Apple or being intensely tested in Kyle's lab.
I'm guessing v1.25 hasn't been submitted to Apple yet or Kyle would've mentioned it. He's probably trying to squash a few last minute reported bugs before submitting. As for when it'll be submitted, it should be in the coming days.
I believe that it has been submitted. I recall reading a post on the website forums where he said it would be about a week for Apple to approve. Edit: here is the link. http://www.shadowera.com/showthread.php?3094-v1.25-out-now-for-web
That's a fine list of fixes there. Glad all of the ones I had problems with are being adjusted and taken care of. Now all we need is a friend challenge system and I'm completely satisfied!!!
I miss that game. Stopped playing because I played way too much and cant stop thinking about it Q_Q I dont know if i should start playing it again...
