Interface tweaks I'd like to see https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=15380.msg196693#msg196693

Here is my wish list of interface tweaks:
• When importing a deck list, if an upgraded card is listed which I do not have but I do have an unupgraded version of that card, put the unupgraded into the deck. (This could also be a user option.) If I am testing a fully upgraded deck in the trainer, it would be nice to be able to import the list into my regular account and have some version of all the cards present, and upgrade as I grind without needing to constantly update the list and/or hunt for the missing unupgraded cards in my list.
• Import / export Marks along with the deck list
• For people who came on board via Kongregate, offer a means of changing the password to something I can remember rather than having to copy/paste the random string of characters every time I log in to the full version
• On the Oracle, don't spin a Nymph and then tell the user he doesn't get it. That's just mean.  :( (I would rather not see the nymph at all!)
• More seriously, when the user wins a card via the Oracle, one single click to exit the screen, rather than click to get the card and click again to exit.
• Heck, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to see the user always get the card the oracle picks, with two buttons shown: exit and sell the card, or exit and keep the card. (Naturally, for rares it should show a warning before selling. Also, this should mean the oracle no longer gives electrum. You just get a card, which you have the option of selling immediately or keeping in your regular collection.)
• When a player can do enough damage to kill the opponent, turn the health bar red instead of all yellow. (Often when the damage is one point shy the green is either a single nigh-invisible pixel, or just plain absent.)
• Put in a setting (for each user) where the user can choose to have it automatically spin all available times after a win.

Please note that none of these have anything to do with mechanics - just minor tweaks to make the overall  experience a little smoother, and to cut out some extraneous clicks.

Unless that has changed relatively recently, I'm sad to say that is not true. I've had a few nymphs pop up in the spin over the past few months where I did not receive them.

Of course, they stick out in the memory far more than the reverse situation...

You actually need to click "Get a card" to get them. I somehow didnt click that when I spun my first Nymph.  :-[

isnt it possible to get a simpler load/save button for making decks? that is what i miss most.


a win/lost statistic to pvp games would be great too. one for all games to that opponent and one for the current session

Will do. It's been at least a few weeks since the last time, so it may well have been changed in one of the patches. As I said - those tend to stick in the memory. :) (And to be honest, I have at least one of each by now so I'm not complaining about my overall success with the spins.)

I know. Not what I'm referring to. :)

Yes, I've clicked it a lot over the last few months. :)

What I am wishing for is something I can set as a user so that it will automatically start "spin all" as soon as that screen loads, rather than waiting for me to push that button. I realize there are people who would rather start the spinning when they are ready, but I rarely have reason to want to wait. Thus, the option of being able to set the flag would be nice.

Earthshaking? Hardly. Nothing on my list is. All items on the list are in the "it would be nice if..." category, and most remove excess clicks from a frequently repeated process.

I like your first idea, about the unupgraded version taking the place of the upgraded if you don't have the upgraded. I think that's a really good idea, especially for people to test their decks unupgraded, or to build a mostly upgraded deck faster. And the mark being saved with the deck is a good idea too.

I haven't been here for a long time, but I was here for the first few months the Oracle was here and Zanz said, i believe, that if you spin a nymph, you always get it. That might had gotten bugged over one of the new updates since the time I've been gone, and possibly has since been fixed. But I'm just saying, I'm fairly sure it's a bug/glitch/whatever about the Oracle not giving nymphs when shown.

And I completely agree about the health bar turning red. I know i've lost a handful of duels because it looked like I was going to kill my opponent, but they ended up with one or two health.

I didn't if I should start my own thread on this one but,  I would like to see mabye a second tab where I can put cards I don't want to sell by accident.  I have, in trimming the fodder cards I win from level 3, sold a few nymphs or shards by mistake.  Just by clicking too fast.  If there were a 2nd tab for cards I would like to save and all the fodder cards went into the 1st tab, it would be easy to trim the fat.  Mabye a 'SELL ALL' button could be added, as well.
Just a thought

In hindsight, I should have said "rare" instead of "nymph". Before I discovered that I could farm the T50 for most of the weapons, I was desperate to fill out the set. (It was multiple months before I finally managed to get my first Eternity, since I chose my quest weapon poorly!) I suspect that the couple of nymphs were indeed a fixed bug, but I don't think this is (captured this morning):

If I didn't already have a few copies, seeing that would be highly frustrating. :)
