Giving people that have yet to grind their way through the game a bonus, an easier way to grind, or even making it so that they don't have to grind, while there are lots of people that worked their butts off grinding to where they are now. Is that fair? No. Do people want that? Not really. Do noobs want that? Probably. Do people that play the game actively right now want that? Nope. 3 No's 1 Maybe. You do the math. Thanks.
Mate, whats the difference between "Do people want that?" and "Do people that play the game actively right now want that?"? These seem a bit redundant to me. And if you say no, you are answering it with your opinion. Im one of these veterans, and if this helps the game to get more content, I really want it to become real.
And you fail to consider that if you speed up the pace of people getting the cards then what goal is there for people? (...) The point at which the player has no reason to continue playing is reached far faster through your proposal than through the current way of things. The community dies off faster with your proposal. As of right now the community stays about the same in terms of the # of players.
1st, I would like to point that, if there is a 20% discount to buy / upgrade cards, which is what Blaze suggested, you would still have 80% of the current amount of grinding, which IS A LOT of grinding (in fact, this is a reason to me dislike his suggestion). Like I said, I play EtG for like 3 years, and even if I use 500K electrum I have stored, I would still have 68% of the trainer collection upgraded.
2nd, I would like to say that, if premium content is added, OBVIOUSLY we will have more content added frequently. More cards for upgrading, if you really love ginding, at least (this also means more sinergies, and more decks to try). And possibly more quests, more AI levels, guild quests, etc, so (I hope) grinding wouldnt to be needed as a goal.
3rd, if more content is added, if there are more things to do, and if people can use good decks easily (instead of farm AI3 using a crap deck that barely can defeat them, get 9k and upgrade 6 photons to still be destroyed for most FGs), I think a lot of people could ENJOY and STICK with the game.
Sincerely, I dont understand why you guys think this would "kill the game". Its already dead. What can be worse than 1 update per year? Oh, surely, 1 update each 2 years, probably our next step to
Blaze, I really dont see you as a troll. And I dont remember all these ideas being shot down. But I have seen a poll that was later removed, about a feature that gives a 20% discount to buy and upgraded cards. If I remember correctly, you were also talking about a bonus of 50k electrum when the feature is bought for the 1st time. This really looks a bad idea. People would buy the feature 1 month, upgraded a good grinder deck, grind for 1 month, do a massive upgrade before it expires, and them buy again months later, for another massive upgrade. I will never say theres little grind left to do, but this product is just... not good enough. I still prefer a total trainer collection, which is much more interesting to keep, and I think that offering a complete product is more, hmm, elegant.
About contacting Zanzarino, lol, looks stupid to say, but... did you try sending him a PM? Or did you ask in Elements forum on Kongregate if someone knows his e-mail? I also did a small google search. There is a website, zanzarino.net, where there is an email option (dunno if its updated, because elements link there goes to 1.0 version, which doesnt load, with old forum and wiki links. You can also check facebook. Curiously, I thought EtG was hosted just by kongregate, but its also hosted by a poor site called kanogames.com.
