Changing Marks https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=3594.msg32664#msg32664

Over the past couple of weeks of me playing again, I've come to notice how annoying it is when I want to change Marks for a different deck. Currently not many, if any, of my friends can beat my Mono Death deck, because it's such a fast killer, so I like to actually have fun in Friendly PvP and switch to my other deck. I find it highly annoying that it costs 100 coins to change the Mark of your current Element.

So far I have switched Marks about 25 times. Meaning 2,500 coins down the drain that could have been used for 1 and (almost a half) upgrades. I propose that this is somehow changed so that it is either less costly, or totally free once you have changed to that Element already. I started with the Death Mark, maybe it should be free to switch back to the Mark you started with, or maybe the cost of changing should be reduced to around 50 or less. I don't much see the point in the cost as it is to be honest.

Cheers for reading, feel free to post any thoughts about this.

I agree, I like most the idea of charging to change the first time, then that element is free for you from then on.

Paying 100 Electrum the first time you change to a new Mark, and then you have that Mark available and can change to it freely any time you want.

So for example once you buy Life Mark you have unlocked it and can use it anytime you like.

Total cost for all Marks 1100 (because you get one for free when you begin).

This would be so much better than the current price gouging system.

Agreed with plastiqe's solution.

Or the metamorphoses could cost 150 if they unlock, would be more... more... uh... Well, one-time things that can be used for long then should cost much.

Personally I don't think it should be free once you have paid the 100 to get the element.

Maybe a different system which allows you to change marks is needed.

For me a system of 150 the first time you use a new mark then 15 for each successive time you change to that mark would work. That way it still costs but not much.

Also good. 15 is really cheap, and as I said, 150 is just the fine price for an unlock, IMO.

Another option would be to keep the 100 coin changing cost, but also make it available to "buy" them for 2000 electrum or something. Then you could change to that mark for free. So you could also only buy marks you change to a lot (entropy/time for FG deck, and I use earth for a lot too).

Reason? 150 Electrum to buy a mark is too cheap IMO. There needs to still be an impetus not to change marks.

Good idea, seconded. I'd downgrade the "buying a mark" price from 2,000 to 1,500, though, just because I like to see all of the "upgrades" costing 1,500. Hey, don't blame me, I love uniformity.

Hmm now thats an idea that works well. Then I would only have to buy Darkness and if I got bored can always switch for 100 electrum.

Nice work
