Event Cards (removed from the event)

[Scaredgirl]

Because of huge opposition, Event Card system has been removed from War #2.

The reason I removed them all, is that I don't want to deal with drama every time I post a new Event Card that someone decides is "unfair". Without event cards, nobody can complain.

I can't say I'm very happy about this whole situation because I wasted one whole day to produce these cards, but that's life.

Maybe Event Cards will come back during War #3, who knows.


Below is the original "secret" topic.

We put all the 24 cards in random order. Once the event starts, we will "play" one card per round, in the predetermined order. Card is "played" by posting it in the topic of that round.

wow...people are lame
the event cards were a great idea, and even if we have to get rid of element-specific ones because of people complaining, why not keep the others? or at least not give them away...too late for that though.

[Wizardcat]

Complaining works! Good to know for the future.

Sad that all of them had to go.

[Legit]

C'mon guys, don't start complaining again. The reason the event cards were removed was because everyone was complaining. Now that they are gone, you start whining again?

[Dragoon1140]

Like what some others said in chat, we are happy most of these Event Cards are gone.  They seem fun, but they greatly imbalance that war at some points.

Fantastic job with the art choices though.

EDIT:  By the way, if these cards are played in order, Darkness would have to wait 24 rounds before their card was used.  Yea...

[TimerClock14]

It is a shame. But I can see why you did what you did SG. I'm sorry to have put so much stress on you.

[brettbstock]

Awwww... Now I'm sad... I was hoping the event cards would stay. They sounded like a great idea. Oh well. At least I was on one of the teams that did not join the boycott.

Do teams who's players won 2-0 in the first round still get a bonus, or has that been removed, too?

[Istari.]

Yeah, it is unfortunate that so many of these were element specific, they were a great concept to add to the war.

[Xinef]

Well, I guess it's a change for better. Some of these event cards seem balanced, but the majority is not fun.

Though, I guess it would be indeed hard to make 24 or so balanced event cards.

There wasn't much complaining about the first event card though, so I don't see a reason to assume that all event cards would cause drama. It's only the ones that clearly favor some people, while other people have nothing to say. Eg. everyone is capable of winning 2-0, but not everyone is capable of building 15 upped light cards deck. That's the cause of drama.

Even so, if you don't have 15 upped cards, you don't use a deck with 15 upped cards. It might even be strategic to do that, because if you only have one copy of a rare, and you upgrade it, you can't use it for the rest of the war, unless you're a General or Lieutenant.

it was only the age of (element) cards that people have a problem with.  all the rest look like they would have been awesome cards

I have expressed my opinions elsewhere but the more time I've spent in this community the more hard work I realize ScaredGirl puts into it, and the more I am impressed by that work's quality.

I think this community's reaction to the event cards was infantile and I am very disappointed that they are being canceled. If I were ScaredGirl I would have locked the thread, said "too bad" and forced people to deal with it like non-children.
