Title: Option to auto spin
Post by: Krewrov on December 09, 2011, 03:11:14 am
Would it be possible to have the option to disable skipping the auto spin? I have accidentally skipped my FG spins five times now. It's really starting to bother me and I'm sure I will repeat this mistake more in the future. I am new to the game only having played a week so perhaps I will be able to learn to not make this mistake but it is very frustrating since these wins are hard for me to get as it is and then when I finally finish I just auto push the OK button because it says OK.

This is my 1st post and I regret that it is a semi-complaint. I'm sure there are hundreds of other things that need to happen over this suggestion, but to me this is my biggest issue with the game and it just doesn't make sense that I can skip on an upgraded card roll when I don't even own that many cards.

If there is this feature already I am very sorry for making this post and would be greatly thankful for that information.

A quick after thought. Just changing the name from OK to Skip would probably help people like me avoid this problem 95% of the time.

Not a bad idea, actually. Especially just changing the word, it'd be an easy fix.

TY. I'm up to 7 now. It's like I'm learning to do it more instead of less, although today has also been particularly frustrating in general.

IMO we even should remove the spin and spin all button and he reels need to start spinning as soon as the game end.
Anyway who doesn't spin ? and EVEN if someone want to skip spins he can always click the OK button

Wow Flash just crashed when I hit the spin button now. This is the worst luck I've ever had.

This. Leaves the option to skip if you want, which is good for the owners of full sets.

ive accidentally skipped once when my mouse jumped due to contact with the trackpad trying to click, so yeah im in favor of this.

side note, youve been playing a week and are already beating FGs at this rate?

my suggestion for not, grind AI3 for a while, you can get a win every two minutes fairly reliably, train yourself to always click spin all.

'Ok' means actually 'go to the main menu'.
That should be explained in the tutorial.
The spin screen maybe it's not the best, but buttons are placed right.
First thing to be noticed is the spin button, then the spin all button and then the'ok' button.

+1 to it must be explained in the tutorial

Alternate solution: you can "save up" spins for later. Not sure exactly how this would work, but if you don't chose to spin all the game will keep track of your spins and who you faced so it knows what cards to spin for. Dont know how this works from a programing and memory stand point, but seems doable

Suddenly, farm. Suddenly, 27 spins.

And then the entire elements community saved even more time on farming by saving all of their spins until they had to go take a piss. The End.

Zans, implement this NOW.

Yes, but why would that be a bad thing? I play as many games as I like without hinderance, and do all my spins at once. Since (by my idea) the saved spins remember the cards that could be spun, its not like you could farm AI3 then beat one false god to win all their cards fast.

The only problem with that is of the saving feature. The way the game would work, I imagine it would be like the oracle prediction and it would only save until you turn the screen off. So what happens when your computer crashes, or you need to go somewhere for a while but need now to do another match to retrieve your spins. Or if your computer is like mine, and randomly for no reason crashes flash every couple hours. It is a nice idea, but I doubt I'd use it myself.

or have both, i guess?

add a "Save Spin" third option
it's kinda more time-efficient to grind mindlessly, then spin ALL the spins after that..  :P :P :P

yeah, i also misclick OK.. kinda frustrating, 'cause i sometimes win against something like ghostmare or divine glory (few different nonpillar cards = higher "droprates")

Oops, I misread as you can save spins and spin them all earning only cards from the last deck.
