Game Suggestions and Feedback / Re: Too much grind

I think you confuse difficulty with grind.  Anything could be done simply by farming L3 or Top50 with speed decks for long enough.  Eventually, one could assemble a fully upgraded deck and then tackle FGs.  No, that's not difficulty, that's grind.

I made the mistake of assembling a sundial based deck, only the guide was written based on the pre-sundial nerf so I never got a chance to draw into my pillars or even my win condition.  Assembling what turned out to be a poor deck set me back a lot and now I have to grind more L5/Top50 just to get cards to try another pauper deck.

It's one thing to have an interesting game, but it's another to force someone to play T50 for ~25 wins just to purchase one upgraded card, assuming a significant number of EMs.  Or to reward maybe 1 out of 50 wins from Level 5 with an upgraded card.

Then perhaps the problem is difficulty.  We go from level 3, a perfercetly normal game with no cheating, to level 5 where the AI cheats rampantly with more life, more quanta, more cards, and (until a point is reached) normally unobtainable cards.  Level 4 is more fair, but there's still upgraded cards that cannot be won.  It only seems to be worth it because of farm decks.

On top of all of this the reward for doing level 5 is very low.  A roughly 3% chance to win a card at the end, and lower still for specifically an upgraded card.

This is an interesting game but there's way too much grind involved.  I've been playing Level 5s for about 3 days now and I've only gotten 3 upgraded cards to show for it.  And I'm using the mon Aether deck, which is probably one of the most boring decks to play too.  Yet to fight an opponent with innate 3x quanta generation and 2x health there's not much wiggle room in terms of unupgraded cards.

Either reduce the amount of cash required to upgrade cards or reduce the randomness of the reels please.

Forum Archive / Top50 charity decks?

I've played against quite a number of decks that seem to make no attempt to win.  And the wheels spin lots of weapons!

It seems there's a lot of very nice people making easy to kill decks for our enjoyment.  Anyone wanna help compile a list of names of people that are doing this?  As we can effectively 'choose' our opponent by going into top 50 and canceling if it's not a "freebie" deck, this will make for some easier farming of the top50.

In-game Troubleshooting / Cannot log in

I can't log in on my Kongregate account!  I tried and it brought me to the new account screen.  I ended up making a second account (which I couldn't log into either) and finally when I registered a third account (this time with email) it will let me auto-login.  But I already spent a lot of time playing on my first account!  How do I get to that first account?

My IGN is "Mylon", same as my Kongregate name.
