Precognition

[Brontos]

Hey.

Would it be possible to be able to mouse over cards in your opp's hand when you do a precog? I don't know all cards by heart yet, so it's not very comfortable to use right now.

Thank you.

Good idea. I support it.

Good idea. I support it.

+1 Even though I know all the cards, 'coz I remember the pain and this game is always growing. (eg. More people who know nothing)

What he said. Sometimes I still mouse over my opponent's hand by force of habit

Basically what everyone said above me.

Until someone says something, this thread is going to grow with a lot more people posting one-sentence replies saying that they, like the rest of the forum, support this.

So I'm going to say no. This modification should not be added into the game.

All of the other alchemy cards require a little skill to use. Either they need to be used at the right time (UG's ability, BH, Luciferin) or on the right target (Quint, LS, Afla, BB, Antimatter, Ragepot, Adrenaline, Nymph's Tears).

Knowledge of the card base is what prevents someone that is completely new to the game from being able to use Precognition to its full potential. The suggested modification to Precognition just makes it another skill-less card.

I support this. RootRanger, it's pretty easy to find out the cards right now anyway. Just have the trainer open while you play. It's not like this'll change the game much.

Ever heard about "burden of knowledge" expression when talking aboput video games? Google it!
Wanting a game to be "noob-hostile" to protect the veterans is not a really good way to make a game evolve.

It's really not a burden. If you don't want to use Precognition, you don't have to.
Precognition's current mechanics reward experienced players and follow the rule that alchemy cards require skill to be used to their full potential.
"noob-hostile" is a little harsh, and I never actually used that term in my previous post; no need to put it in quotes.

Again, it's not that hard to find out about the cards now, so it won't really change the game.

I still stand by my opinion given.
