Title: Arena disallows new deck [not a bug]
Post by: Naesala on January 17, 2012, 08:00:58 am
Two days ago I got gravity pendulum from the oracle. Yesterday I got chaos seed, but decided the gravity deck was doing well and to leave it up. Today I spun another gravity pendulum and thought "Oh good. I can rebuild the deck with some slight modification and restoration of max HP". But it seems this is not the case, I cannot build a new deck. Maybe this is intentional, but I would not know why it would be meant to do this way.

Intentional; not a bug. You won't be able to submit a deck with the same oracle card as the current one so you can't submit the same deck again to restore it to full HP and keep it in the Arena.

I could understand that for on the same day, but when there's at least a one-day gap? *shrugs* if another person or so say it's not a bug I guess I'll lock the thread.

[12:56:42] Revoltion: Oh zanz. Do people who get the same oracle card as the day before have to keep their same deck?
[12:56:53] zanzarino: Yep they do
[12:57:31] Revoltion: Okays
[12:57:45] zanzarino: Otherwise it would be an excuse to rejuvenate the very same deck

Apologies, I checked the list of well known not-bugs http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11523.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11523.0.html) but it was 3A.M when this happened and I didnt have the energy for searching, and have been in class since my last post. Could we add this to the Not Bugs, since this is confusing and obviously multiple people have been tripped up by it?

Agreed, I was also about to make a thread asking about this not-bug, since it just happened to me. :P

Definatley a bug/poor decision.

You do not control the oracle, if you happen to get the same card in a row, that's a strange coincidence and you shouldn't have to suffer for it.

All this "feature" does is prevent people from relying on a 1/~300 chance every day to use the same deck, while losing lots of HP a day waiting for it. No one in their right mind does that.

I believe Evaria is working on this, so I guess we'll have to wait for the moment. To be honest, IMO duplicate threads is just a minor annoyance; nothing too serious. Nevertheless, it's good to avoid that and even better seeing that some people use the search function.  :D

It doesn't matter what you think, it's clearly not a bug as zanz already confirmed this. If you really want to discuss this further, I suggest you do it in the Game S&F section.  ;)
