A use for the Relics! https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=9337.msg110142#msg110142
« on: July 08, 2010, 02:35:28 am »
I read 'Upgrade Machine' and got an idea.

We have Relics. The substitutes for Nymphs in spins.
We have Nymphs. Ultra-rare cards only from the oracle.

They go hand-in-hand, no? While I like the idea of a third tier, I know it is unlikely and spoils a lot of the games fun. So That Is why I offer an agreement - A bridge to make sure the difference between newbie players and pros doesnt widen, nor shorten, in any way.


A similar button to Upgrade Machine, But instead its called Combine Nymph. Its where you sacrafice 10 Relics, and a nymph. What do you get in return? Nothing. Just kidding...

You get a GOD of that element. An all-gold metallic black text (Gold description text) and its balanced, super rare, not winnable ANYWHERE, and a nice-strong card.

This would be fair because newbies could do this, pros could do this, and it wouldn't require hours of timeless farming.

Before I list my ideas for the gods, let me clear things up.

  • Don't say that relic farming would be a problem. It wouldn't. You can only have 1 god card in your deck. It cannot be upgraded.
  • When I say nice-strong, I dont mean 50|50 with unlimited devours per turn, adrenalined momentumed immaterial and generates quanta. Its not like that. Its a well balanced card, and all abilities will me monopolized to its element.
  • This is NOT a rip-off of SG's Hero Card idea, its much simpler.
  • This idea is balanced because winning 10 relics would require at least 4-10 relic farms IF you win on each farm. So its really 4-10+ Farms, plus you would need an Ultra-Rare Nymph. Good Luck with that!
  • This doesnt cost electrum because THAT would widen the difference between newbie players and pro players, because a newbie wouldnt be able to scrape together 10k or so in a matter of 10 minutes like some players would.
  • This can NOT be taken to PVP 1. It would get auto-mulligan selected to be put at the bottom, or removed from the game for that match. It can be taken to PVP 2 though.
  • These cards may be all immaterial, I have not decided yet. Why? So they cant be fractaled in a RoL hope deck to replace Light Dragons, or in any other similar deck. Also, they are gods. Can YOU punch God in the face and K.0. him? Didn't think so.
  • These cards will most likely NOT have custom abilities. They will ALL generate the quanta of their element, be immortal, and have an active ability. FOr some reason, I can never make Custom Abilities that arent O.P. Sorry guys..
The Ideas for the cards themselves will be posted soon. I can't think clearly atm, so please be patient.

Theres no point in farming relics. You can only have 1 God card, and you would need the Nymphs of your choice. :P

You can only have 1 per deck. You CAN have all 12, just not all in your deck at once.

And Antagon, It would be worth it and put Relics to good use.

Antagon didn't post in this thread.

I agree, though.  Most people don't have duplicates of any nymph, let alone one.  This would force people to choose between two rare cards.  I am also against a higher tier of rarity to begin with, nymphs are already at a huge premium.  Just look at how many people complain when someone posts a nymph deck.

If there's a good use for relics out there, this isn't it, sorry.

I got my names mixed up. And theres a substitute for nymphless people - Nymphs Tears. BUT I do understand where your coming from. And nymphs are gettable. It just takes time. I dont agree that you really have to choose. You dont have to. You can always wait until you get an extra nymph type then use it. What Im saying is, this game needs a new advancement in cards. Rare and common cards...yawn. Boring. Rare, Super rare, Uncollectabley Rare, and common. Now THATS spice.

Deck designs that make use of nymphs typically include more than one of a type, otherwise you've got a 50% chance of it being in the bottom half of your deck and way too late to be useful.  So if you get a second nymph of a type, I'd keep it, unless it's a crappy nymph and the "god card" it provides is a heck of a lot better.

I've never been much for rare cards or rare anything, though.  I'm more someone who takes the basics and goes CRAZY forming fun strategies with them.

Haha, you should see how I play other video games... it drove my friends in college crazy.  One day they found me brute-force mastering every job class in FF Tactics one by one, with a group of five characters.  I was camping the first random battle in the game repeatedly, decking the whole thing out.  In other games I make crazy complex charts and diagrams and plan everything out before I even start playing.  I am a video game psychopath, as near as you can get to OCD without actually being compulsive.  I have a spreadsheet that lists every card in this game and how many I have of each, both regular and upgraded.

If, God forbid, somebody had 30 nymphs/relics(can you put relics in decks?), a relic farm would b guaranteed 3 relics. A use would be nice, but NOT a use that sacrifices a nymph. A weapon, maybe. Perhaps a "godseed" from Oracle. Not a nymph. Wasting Nymphs is sacrilige and punishable by staring at Cthulhu for five hours.
