I was originally going to try to get involved with the Kong forums, but when I noticed te overwhelming abundance of newbies and the lack of mods and structure, I gave up. =/

I came in from Kongregate too, but started playing Elements exclusively on the developer's site (since it's larger here and not scaled down in size like the Kongregate one).

But more importantly, with Sun Dials being broken over at Kongregate, it makes end-game play annoying at best and downright gimped at worst when false god farming.

I wouldn't say "gimped".

When I made my first False God deck, and fought 200 matches against Gods (with 66% winning percentage), I had those broken Sundials and also started with a non-upgraded deck.

I personally feel that this "broken" Sundial we had before, is how Sundials should work. When Zanz "fixed" it, he actually broke it. Nowadays False God grinding is ridiculously easy because of that 2 turn stasis.
It's all a matter of perspective. When a card's text states that it will protect you for 2 turns but only does so for 1 turn on the Kongregate version, that's gimped. ;)

But yes, it's still possible to use them in a god farming deck and do just fine against the easier false gods. As for ridiculously easy, I disagree. Sure, Incarnate, Miracle, and others are "ridiculously easy", but Rainbow, Seism, and Hermes are still a challenge.

My point was that Sundial, even a broken one, is still a very powerful card, therefore not gimped.
Ah, ok, I understand what you're saying and agree.

Actually "gimped" means underpowered. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_balance#Gimp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_balance#Gimp)

What you are talking about there is "broken" or "bugged".

My point was that Sundial, even a broken one, is still a very powerful card, therefore not gimped.
