Ingame Forge (Aka merging two cards)

[ZephyrPhantom]

I think it would be interesting to have an ingame "Forge" of sorts (similar to WoE's talent "Crafting") where you can merge cards to create new ones.  With the implication that more quests will be upon us and with so many potential new items coming out of WoE, it's possible there could be "item cards" won from quests that may or may not be useful in battle(sort of like extra cards that you could use, but they're inferior to metagame-focused cards, which are designed soley for the game), but when forged create more metagame-focused cards.

For example:

Completing a quest to help a farmer, I gain a Pitchfork.  Pitchfork is a Weapon that deals 1 damage per turn.  Not so great, right?  However, if I forge a Pitchfork with a Water Crystal (which may or may not have an effect), I create a Trident/Poseidon.  As you can see, this also makes rarer cards easier to obtain.

Forging costs 1,500 electrum, and I think adding a percent chance for it to fail would be a good idea too, if codable.

Interesting, but needs a big update in order for it to work. A lot of time would be spent into programming this. I would prefer new cards.

Sounds like a nice feature. Maybe - if we all hope for it really hard - it'll be implemented until next christmas!

merge a voodoo doll and a BB, then merge a BB and Grav force, then you merge OP with OP

Uh, that's not how it works.

true but i can see so many people reading it wrong(me) and thinking this. i also think it would be too much work for too little gain.

[ArtCrusade]

Too little gain? As soon as Zanz introduces the T500 to Elements rares will be rares again, and a feature like the one suggested here would make things a little bit easier.

[TheCrazyMango]

too little gain for the amount of work needed to implement it. i agree it would be nice and stuff if it where to be implemented, but it would take HUGE amounts of work. new quests, new buttoms on the main interface, new coding to merge cards, etc.

[doublecross]

Has he said anything about when T500 will be implemented?

Are you a programmer yourself? If not, how can you tell?

I heard rumors about upcoming summer. Beat me if I'm wrong

my friends a programmer and i asked him a few questions.

Meanwhile, Im an amateur programmer, and I see this as being something easy to implement....

moral of the story, we arent Zanz, We dont decide what is and isnt worth taking the time.
