New newbie quest with an upgraded card as a reward

[Scaredgirl]

This is been talked about before but I don't think there is a thread about it.

I really think that Elements needs a new quest with an upgraded card as a reward. Right now newbies have to go over this HUGE barrier before getting that first upgraded cards. I have no doubt that many have quit the game because of this. Giving them that one upgraded card would get them started and give them hope that one they they too can be awesome and have a fully upped deck.

It's like selling illegal substances. You give the first batch for free to get them hooked, then they keep coming back for more.*

Discuss.

I agree. And it's not something the more experienced players would be jealous about. The only problem is implementation. What event(s) would have to be completed? Obviously not something too difficult, but also something not too easy. 1500 score perhaps?

[Scaredgirl]

I think a simple score quest might be a bit boring.

It could be for beating a specific number of PvP opponents or AI5 for example. Also beating each FG once should definitely be a quest. But that should have a higher reward than only one upped card.

I personally would make it so that each "level" of opponent has a quest.

So essentially, would you get a free upgrade, a whole new upgraded card or the money for it? Choosing one new upgraded card from all of the options could be confusing. I support the idea but the implementation, I think, is part of the discussion.

It could be the same exact window where you pick the weapon reward fro 500 quest, only this time it would be 12 random upgraded cards, one from each element.

I'd make that the reward for beating your first halfblood.

Halfbloods are the first opponents with upgraded cards, it could serve as a nice tutorial.

That could be too easy.

You know what my first battle against Halfbloods was? I made a new account with a fire deck, beat level 3, went for AI5 winning easily with 90+ health left.

maybe get 3 pvp wins in a row? or kill 2 fgs in a row, or kill 5 HBs in a row somtin along that line.

Or Quest: beat your first FG.
reward: you win a card in all 3 spins, when you win against the FG the first time.

Also beating each FG once should definitely be a quest. But that should have a higher reward than only one upped card.

By then you should be independent and hooked enough to grind for stuff yourself-don't think that warrants a quest since quests are meant to inform and/or provide motivation.

On a separate note I agree that one AI5 win is too easy. Maybe beat 3 AI5s and then the reward screen shows them links to the forum, the wiki and tells them how to access chat as well so that hopefully they can be inducted into to community at the same time.

It would be a good idea to give them a lure to get them to keep playing, the problem is if they sell it they pretty much instantaneously have the coins needed to build their FG farming deck, then the early struggle phase would be removed completely. So I think the quest should be sufficiently hard for that matter.

[Bloodshadow]

I think for this quest, the reward should be 1500 electrums. That way, someone can upgrade any card he/she wants, or use that 1500 electrums to do something else.

I say that the new quest is beating a Halfblood. It shouldn't be too hard a quest.
