More Cards should be added https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=25981.msg330664#msg330664

It's been months since the last time the game got new cards, in that "Acceleration/Overdrive" pack, iirc.

We all know that balance issues are considered when adding cards to the game, but I believe that we should have a LOT more cards.
Take those cards from the Armory and put them in the game. Take some from the Forge, Crucible, from those series like the Avatars.. and add to the game. If they're OP or UP, nerf/buff/keep as they are. After a while you get to know ALL the cards and it becomes boring somehow. New stuff is always welcome.
Why does it take so long to add new cards? I know the devs have other things to worry, like bug fixing, but I believe that new content should have some love.

That's my 2 cen- electrums!  :P

While updates and new cards are nice, we have to consider that Zanz is a busy person with a day job and a life.

The Card Ideas and Art forum is mostly for peoples' own enjoyment. While Zanz does get inspiration from some of the user-created cards from time to time, cards that have reached the Armory still carry the caveat of "no matter how well-received the idea is, it still may not make it into the game."

As for your boredom issue, you'll only have fun if you make the game fun for yourself. Make a commitment to join a PvP Event, for example. Many events are unupped, and sign-ups generally have no restrictions other than a maximum player limit. Tournaments are weekly, have different deckbuilding restrictions for you to get creative in the deckbuilding process, and 75% of them are completely unupped.

This is why people who don't interact with these forums enough aren't addicted to the game :))

It takes a considerable amount of time to edit the game.

It's not exactly a "copy and paste" thing.

I'll try to simplify it for you, despite having medium knowledge on game coding, I'll make an assumption on how the process of the card implementation system works:

1. Card effect needs to be compatible with game, editing may be required.
 2. Mass Recoding is needed.
3. Code checking.
4.  Game error testing.
5. Fixes In error.
6. Multiple Testing, again.
7. Fix again.
8. Input the code into the actual internet server game
9. Check for errors again
10. If there is error, repeat step 6 and onwards.
11. Inform Public
12. Public plays with new version
13. If there is Feedback on bugs, needs confirmation
14. If Bug /error feedback was officially correct, repeat step 6 and onwards.

There may be even more steps than that.
You have to also consider that Zanz and his team have other life issues to attend to, so add that to the time consumed, and you'll see exactly why it takes a while to make additions to the game.

or maybe the fact they aren't addicted is the fact they have to go TO the forums to actually get addicted? the game gives no indication of any of these leagues or player run events. they just play the game... get to wherever they get to then either decide to play on or stop. and well... yes it is a problem with the game if the game itself isnt enough to keep people playing

Lack of cards is filled with forum pvp events m8( that is my opinion ).I personally play 3 to 10 games per day ( only vs FG-s ) but when it comes to events and duels im 100 % active.

Also, keep in mind that Zanz is prolly working his butt off on t500 - that's gonna take a LOT of time and energy to get right.
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.
