While nobody has ever managed to get an accurate number on it, most of the people who play this game are attracted to the idea of PvP. Howeverm the PvP section of the game is small compared to the PvE section. In the game itself, we only have 3 options. Play without upped cards, Play with any cards, and play a friend. Granted, the forums are here to offer restrictive deckbuilding, more people to play and organised leagues/tournaments; But for the most part, people playing don't go on the Forums.
My idea would be to have one (main) screen for all PvE gameplay. Level 0 through to 6, the oracle, reward codes, account settings ect. Then a button to take you to a 'PvP' Lobby. This would be a similar (probably less developed) screen, with PvP1 and PvP2 being the main buttons here (with bazaar and manage deck), and their functions would be exactly the same. However, on the screen would be a chat (separate to both Elements and Kong chat). It wouldn't have to be sophisticated, just a way of finding new players to PvP Duel, and if the communication works, then you can ask for certain decks you don't want to play to not be played. It would be impossible to actually make players play the deck they choose, so it would all be done through PvP duel. Ideally if you agreed, there would be some kind of way to directly PvP Duel them rather than one person waiting forever for a non speedbow person who is meanwhile laughing in the chatroom at his own wit.
This suggestion is quite
big huge, since it would require the set-up of a whole new chat room, and preferrably mods with some 'mute' power. Despite the problems and size of this, I think it would be the right step forward for PvP, if that is the direction the game intends to go.
I'm not going to put a poll 'Do you like this idea?', because I assume that most people think, 'Yes' or "It wouldn't hurt'. The problem is that despite the idea (hopefully) being good, it would require much cost on the side of the developer, so please consider that in any responses.
Comments/Critiques? I promise I'll be nice even if you hate it
Here is a very professional image of how I think it would look.
Why yes, I am using a mouse, and yes, I did use paint. How did you guess?
The Smiley Face indicates friends (I had to choose you for that Legit).
The star indicates wanting to challenge.
The (M) indicates Moderator
I meant for three stars to be beside me, but I only noticed two after, so whatever.
The red thing is the 'profile' of Fart Eco, which came up when I clicked him. The red colour is very obnoxious, so feel free to ignore that. In general, this was done VERY roughly, so I'm sorry about that. But this is a general idea. ddevans, if you can make a better one, please do, and be creative with it if you want. I know I missed something here...and that's not including the button to take you back to the main area of the game.
