Hello~
I really didn't know where to put it so I am going to put it here..

I just had an idea, not buffing or nerfing the cards but for the names
I think at least for the weapons the upgraded version should have a different name than the original.
I know some of them already are, such as Morning Star -> Morning Glory, Lobotomizer -> Electrocutor, and Owl's Eye -> Eagle's Eye, etc.
But I think it'd be cool to have some weapons such as Arsenic, Eternity, Discord, etc. to have different names as they are upgraded.

Thanks!

Give your ideas here and if it's sounds better than the actual (and if the staff think it's needed) it could be changed. :P

Arsenic --> Toxin
Discord --> Oddity
Make eternity the upgraded card, Forever --> Eternity
Fahrenheit --> Degree, or temperture

That's all I got.

I think you went one subsection too far, as this doesn't deal with buffing the cards...

I, for one, agree, not just with weapons but all cards. And tagging "elite" to the beginning doesnt really count for me.

That's all I got.

I think the most of the names can be remain unchanged (Arsenic | Fahrenheit). Eternity old name is too meaningless Oddity crack the thematic of Discord of  :entropy. It's means a thermodinamic law, not a strange thing.

Sorry, but giving a new name is very hard, don't be sad. (And I'm not native English, so it's the same hard to me too)

I, for one, agree, not just with weapons but all cards. And tagging "elite" to the beginning doesnt really count for me.

So that's means if we find cool names it's can be taken in-game? *.*

Discord / Chaos (no-brainer really)
Aeons / Eternity (not crazy about it, but it sounds epic enough)
Arsenic / Sarin (botulinum is the most toxic, but it sounds too clinical)
Pulverizer / Obliterator (nod to the FG)
Obelisk / Titan (this one's hard)
Fahrenheit / Celsius (kelvin doesn't sound very menacing. something like Hellfire would also work, but it breaks the theme)

Haha sorry I didn't know where to put it.
Well you COULD think we're buffing these cards by enchanting with coolness :D


And this is what I thought of

:entropy Discord -> Dissonance (Dissonance meaning disruption in Harmony)
:time Eternity -> Infinity
:fire Fahrenheit -> Kinetic Energy (I also liked the Celsius idea but I think thenFahrenheit should be upped one because it generally uses higher numbers, like 212F compared to 100C)
:gravity Titan -> Goliath
:death Arsenic -> Toxin (I really liked that Toxin idea :D)
:earth Pulverizer -> Atomizer (a synonym for pulverize and it sounds more... "Break"y)

And i think the vampire dagger and stiletto should be switched just because stiletto sounds cooler! But that was just my opinion on it :3

And by all means the order of upgraded and unupgraded can be switched

Goliath works, but I'd prefer it for the unupped one.
Fahrenheit should be the unupped one precisely because it uses higher numbers. In other words, one degree of Celcius is more heat than one degree of Fahrenheit.
Toxin is too generic since Arsenic is a specific toxin. I like Sarin because it sounds dangerous.

:time = Really nice idea for upped Eternity ^^
:entropy = Hmm, interesing, many better than Oddity or something other
:gravity = MAAAANYYYYY better, im like that ♥
:death = Hah, me too :P
:fire = Nah, Kinetic Energy is weak idea, better with Kelvin or Celsius
:earth = Nice :3

Im think about naming Upped Poseidon like Neptune, or Leviathan

Hehe, I beat you to this suggestion by more than 18 months:  ;D
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,2598.msg446273.html#msg446273
After all, that is the international standard metric now for temperature, and Fahrenheit is outdated, so it would fit nicely to upgrade Fahrenheit -> Celsius!

I, for one, agree, not just with weapons but all cards. And tagging "elite" to the beginning doesnt really count for me.

+1 for this suggestion.
Elite for creatures doesn't really cut it, but still better than "Improved" for permanents/spells (e.g. Steal) where the upped version is simply cheaper and gives no improvement whatsoever. E.g. Dusk or Fog could have the percentage chance improved for the upped version instead of being cheaper (with same percentage), then it would fit the meaning unlike in the current state.
Roses aren't red, Violets aren't blue.
They are just a simulation, and so are you!
