Outdated Tutorials / Re: Deckbuilding 101: From Noob to False God Slayer

« on: March 16, 2012, 06:46:56 pm »

Most of those decks were built to fight against AI3, and that's what most people play against. It's generally agreed that the graboid rush and the mono death rush are the fastest against AI3.

The Graboid Rush deck seems to be the best for speed and win/lose ratio.
Most games are won with 7 turns taking only 55-70 seconds.

First 20 games I went 18/2 and the first 40 games I am 32/8.
The deck seems to float around 80% win percentage.

EDIT: Achieving 500 points, I ended up at 36/8 wins/loses. That's almost 82% (81.818181818182%) win ratio.

Did one or more of the card images have a little white triangle in the bottom corner?  The 3 images have to be the same which includes those white triangles, which signify winning an upgraded card.

I did not see any, but I can keep an eye out if that's the case.
I did not notice any upgraded cards when it happened. It is possible I missed the fact one of them may have been upgraded.

Issue Archive / Half-Bloods Not Giving Cards [Not a bug]

« on: March 16, 2012, 01:03:44 am »

Yesterday I won against a HB AI and won a card spin. I matched up three "Momentum" but did not receive a card. I figured it  was a fluke.
Just now I beat another HB AI and won. I won another card spin, this time for a "Morning Star". Unfortunately I did not receive a card this time as well.

So far it has only been with the Half-Blood AIs and only when you select "Spin All".

They take damage equal to the number of poison counters shown at the end of each of your turns.  They cannot be removed without using the spell Purify.

Thanks.
I had figured it was the end of their turn and I did not notice anything.

What happens when the enemy player has poison counters on them?

Issue Archive / Re: Account Reset; Quests Bug

« on: May 30, 2011, 08:41:42 pm »

The quests not resetting properly is a known bug, but the score error is something new to me. How does your score look, right after the reset, before you play any games at all?

Ah, wasn't sure.
I wasn't going to browse and view all known bugs lol.

As per the score, it start a 0.
What I did was win against an AI1, then lost to an AI1 and see what the scores were.
Unless the method of scoring differs between how you play, the scores were:
-3 with quest bug
8 without quest bug

After accepting all the quest rewards, the 1win:1lose registered as a score of -3.
Then after the quests reset, the 1win:1lose registered a score of 8.

I didn't test any further, but those were the results I found.
I'm sure I can recreate those and apply further tests.

Issue Archive / Account Reset; Quests Bug

« on: May 30, 2011, 03:18:31 pm »

A bit of a bug where doing an Account Reset does not reset the quests.
Second time this has happened, but today it took more to undo it.

First time:
Not sure, just did an Account Reset. After beating AIs 0-2, I checked the quests.
I was able to receive the reward for ALL quests, thus getting a rare card.
FG and Upgrades were then available.

Second time (today):
Had my fortune done, decided to do an Account Reset.
First battle on new I noticed I had the Oracle's Pet.
Decided to check out the quests, same thing as above.

In order to undo the quest bug, I had to do an Account Reset again, NOT get any rewards for any quests, another Account Reset then clear all browser history.
The browser history was to clear out cache and cookies mostly.
Refreshed the web page, relogged in and another Account Reset finally reset the quests.

The problem with this quest bug, if my assumption is correct, is that it messes up your score.
With a fresh account and all quests done, 1 win and 1 loss put me at a score of -3.
A fresh account with 1 win and 1 loss has a score of 8.

It looks as if the 150 and 500 score quests interfere with your normal scoring when this bug happens.
I tested it out, and the above scores are both with a fresh account with the first battle as a win with second battle as a loss.

Oh yea the Anti-Bolt is real nice.
I'm running that for the HBs and previously a Graboid Rush for the AI3s.

Actually another reason why I really started liking this game:
Graboids/Shriekers and the Otyugh.

I freaking love the Tremors series, just recently watched the 4 movies with GF lol, and the Otyugh is a nice kin to my favorite "other game" card with a similar name.

Introduce Yourself / New to Elements, grateful for a lucky stumble.

Greetings!

Obviously I'm new to Elements here, really weird I didn't find out about this sooner!
I blame my lack of personal time currently this year.

Anyways, this game is great.
Always fond of elements in games and nice to see a decent card game that isn't sold out anymore lol.

Ofc there are similarities between Elements and another magic based card game, lol, but it is very refreshing.
In my head I still reference "Mana" and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

But enough of that, figured I'd just post a hiya thread.

Trio & Quartet / Re: The Newby Half Blood Farmer V2!!! Anti... Bolt? No Rares, No Upgrades

« on: May 29, 2011, 05:32:42 am »

Wonderful deck!
It has helped me out immensely.

The win ration to cost is simply amazing, though I have had ABSOLUTELY NO LUCK TODAY on winning against any HBs.
Yesterday was quite the opposite, barely loosing.

Haven't a clue why today is so off, but what can ya do.

Very nice looking deck construction.
Handles very well.

Currently awaiting for 2, or just 1 lol, Titans to complete this for my account.
It should work out nicely for my first FG farming.
