zanzarino:

Flare: omnomnom
[03:44:26]

[03:44:28]
Flare: I perfer pie lol
[03:44:41]
zanzarino:

icecoldbro:

Flare: =*(
[03:45:00]
zanzarino:
I am starting to think SG ran away with the donations [03:45:00]
Rinshen: lol
[03:45:03]
Flare: i agree with icecold
[03:45:15]
Essence: Yeah, we're still in heavy debate about what to buy you, zanz -- but it'll be REALLY
COOL when it arrives in June or so. ;p
[03:45:19]
Rinshen: donation is $30 over goal XD
[03:45:19]
PuppyChow: dont worry, he didn't
[03:45:50]
zanzarino:
Just do not get me an iPAD[03:45:54]
PuppyChow: but why can't a play a FG in trainer? i have 40k money...
[03:45:59]
zanzarino:
I tried it the other day [03:46:05]
Essence: Oh, we won't.
[03:46:05]
PuppyChow: already shot that idea down .
[03:46:12]
zanzarino:
And... well it looks cool and everything but[03:46:17]
Essence: PC, you can fight FGs, you just need to play a lvl5 once first.
[03:46:21]
zanzarino:
What do you use it for?[03:46:27]
Essence: No flash = no iPad
[03:46:49]
zanzarino:
It is an oevrsized iphone that does not fit in your pocket [03:46:59]
Flare: haha i agree with zanz
[03:47:07]
PuppyChow: my dads getting an iPad and has tested one out and loves it XD.
[03:47:23]
icecoldbro:
my cousin got one[03:47:28]
zanzarino:
What is he planning to do with it?[03:47:36]
icecoldbro:
he waityed 2 hours to get it[03:47:37]
PuppyChow: but tried playing a HB Essense, and still cant fight FGs.
[03:47:53]
icecoldbro:
no idea he alredy had an ipod touch[03:47:54]
PuppyChow: i have no clue. read ebooks, use apps, XD.
[03:48:19]
Essence: Hmm...have you done all quests yet?
[03:48:27]
PuppyChow: i think he's just going to use it as an upgrade to his kindle that can use
internet/apps.
[03:48:37]
PuppyChow: i pressed "All Quests"...
[03:48:47]
zanzarino:
Puppy let me know if in a few weeks that iPAD ends up on your table used as
an electronic picture frame[03:48:54]
Flare: hmm... how do i participate in tourneys and how does it work?
[03:49:02]
Essence: rotlf@zanz
[03:49:12]
PuppyChow: alright. will do.
[03:49:44]
PuppyChow: but zanz, you're slacking. go fix whatever bug there is with FGs in trainer. I
pressed more money, all quests, level 6, and now i cant fight FGs.
[03:50:01]
zanzarino:
?[03:50:02]
PuppyChow: a black box appears beneath the FG pop up thingy but i cant read it.
[03:50:10]
PhantomFox: Am I allowed to ask hypothetical questions about my upcoming Trial battle?
[03:50:20]
zanzarino:
It says you have no money[03:50:27]
zanzarino:
I already fixed that[03:50:33]
zanzarino:
ctrl - F5[03:50:39]
PuppyChow: oh alright.
[03:51:08]
PuppyChow: i hate my cache >_<. i had already tried refreshing.
[03:51:08]
Flare: so zanz would SoR be a permanant?
[03:51:16]
Flare: that can be used once per turn?
[03:51:31]
zanzarino:
But you are right: too much slacking I am going to go back to work[03:51:39]
Rinshen: ....you're kidding me flare
[03:51:39]
zanzarino:
I do not know yet Flare[03:51:45]
PuppyChow: lol
[03:51:54]
zanzarino:
I'll just let it be for a few days[03:52:10]
Flare: is it in the trainer? or beta? or where?
[03:52:10]
zanzarino:
So people can test it and debate on the forum about it[03:52:16]
Essence: Good call.
[03:52:22]
Rinshen: in the trainer
[03:52:52]
Flare: oh okay
[03:52:59]
zanzarino:
Then we'll change the card if it does not work like this... and we'll keep
changing it until almost everyone is happy with it[03:53:16]
Flare: So Zanz how would one acquire the shard?
[03:53:17]
zanzarino:
Going to add it also on the development page now... brb[03:53:21]
Flare: FG's?
[03:53:29]
zanzarino:
Flare: donations[03:53:31]
Flare: i mean once its actually released
[03:53:34]
zanzarino:
and soon T50[03:53:39]
zanzarino:
like the other shards[03:53:49]
zanzarino:
like SoG I should say[03:54:02]
Flare: oh so your just going to give the shards to people in T50?
[03:54:09]
Flare: and then we can farm them off of them?
[03:54:23]
PuppyChow: it took SoG a loooooooooong time to get in the T50
[03:54:45]
zanzarino:
I am going to give the shard to whoever is kind enough to donate money for
the game[03:54:46]
Flare: hmm...
[03:54:50]
Flare: oh
[03:54:54]
Flare: how much donation?
[03:55:03]
zanzarino:
It will be extra rare at the very beginning[03:55:07]
PuppyChow: no, people are going to get it by donating money to elements, and eventually T50
people will do so and then there'll be farms.
[03:55:19]
zanzarino:
$5 or more[03:55:34]
Flare: well im getting a job pretty soon and i like spending money.
[03:55:40]
Essence: I got the thread in the development section, y'all
[03:55:52]
Flare: and theres alot of places that i would love to donate money to
[03:56:02]
Essence: I can tell you that I'm going to have six within the month.
[03:56:22]
zanzarino:
http://www.elementsthegame.com/development.html (http://www.elementsthegame.com/development.html)[03:56:30]
zanzarino:
It's here as well ^[03:56:51]
PuppyChow: Essense, you named it shard of gratitude XD.
[03:57:17]
zanzarino:
lol[03:58:17]
Flare: how long did it take you guys to get your first fully upgraded deck? (excluding the cards
you didnt want upgraded)
[03:59:14]
PuppyChow: um, two weeks? three weeks? i was using the 54 card SG rainbow though which
is more than you need right now to make a fully upped FG deck.
[03:59:19]
PhantomFox: Gah, connection blip
[03:59:20]
PuppyChow: and it was before the dial nerf
[03:59:40]
Flare: lol at my score...
[03:59:49]
Flare: wow i have been playing since march
[03:59:57]
Flare: but i dont play TOO much
[04:00:11]
Flare: my score is -6321 xD
[04:00:41]
icecoldbro:
i dont have a fully uped deck[04:00:50]
Essence: hey, Zanz, are you planning on releasing Gargoyle solo, or do you have other plans to
go with it?
[04:01:13]
icecoldbro:
and my deck is my own creation doesnt come from anywhere except my
non existing brain[04:01:34]
zanzarino:
I have plans for other cards as well[04:01:54]
Flare: hmm... Zanz maybe you could add a card that gives one of your creatures a random
ability.
[04:01:58]
zanzarino:
The shard got priority because i am almost done with the new rewards
system[04:02:03]
zanzarino:
And it is part of it[04:02:06]
PuppyChow: and while we're still bombarding you with questions, what are you thinking of as
Gargoyle's upgraded form?
[04:02:15]
zanzarino:
Flare - mutation[04:02:19]
PuppyChow: and what about the meaning of life?
[04:02:25]
PuppyChow: and more quests?
[04:02:27]
PuppyChow: and trading?
[04:02:29]
zanzarino:
lol[04:02:35]
guest-1865: new shard..
[04:02:36]
PuppyChow: and fixing all the spelling errors?
[04:02:41]
smokefree: this Shard of Readiness, you play an Otty, then it can eat something for free?
[04:02:42]
zanzarino:
trading = no[04:02:44]
Flare: wait... new rewards system? and i mean one with out the chance of the creature dieing
[04:02:48]
zanzarino:
spell errors fixed = yes[04:02:54]
zanzarino:
more quest = soon[04:03:14]
zanzarino:
Flare - improve[04:03:15]
Flare: what kind of quests?
[04:03:25]
PuppyChow: lol. i didn't actually expect you to answer them. cool though.
[04:03:27]
Number6: chaos power needs a buff
[04:03:29]
PuppyChow: yeah. what kinds of quests?
[04:03:33]
Essence: Smokefree = yes, but on Otyugh is the least of your worries.
[04:03:33]
PuppyChow: for noobs or vets?
[04:03:35]
zanzarino:
THe upped version of mutation (improve) does not kill your creature[04:03:40]
PuppyChow: can you do them multiple times?
[04:04:05]
PuppyChow: will they have cool names?
[04:04:09]
zanzarino:
I'd like to create some daily quests[04:04:13]
PuppyChow: are you going to turn the game into a MMORPG?
[04:04:14]
Essence: lol@puppy
[04:04:17]
Flare: but it turns into chaotic power doesnt it? and that justs adds attack and defence?
[04:04:21]
Anothebrother: why not trading?
[04:04:35]
Flare: because trading = OP in this game
[04:04:45]
icecoldbro:
trading would be abused[04:04:47]
PuppyChow: What about a townlike system with different types of AI at each?
[04:04:51]
zanzarino:
Because it is like adding rats during a plague epidemic [04:05:01]
Anothebrother: OP?
[04:05:11]
Rinshen: over powered
[04:05:12]
Flare: over powered
[04:05:16]
zanzarino:
I actually have a map system in my mind[04:05:18]
PuppyChow: Maybe you should just turn the game into Magic?
[04:05:28]
Anothebrother: how would it be OP?
[04:05:32]
Essence: Zanz: daily quest ideas:
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,3081.msg31236#msg31236
[04:05:33]
PuppyChow: Or World of Warcraft fueled with Magic? How do you feel about that?
[04:05:47]
PuppyChow: And have you ever considered making the newbie decks better?
[04:05:52]
zanzarino:
Where you can conquer "places" - let's call them fortresses and cerate your
own Fg to protect it[04:06:04]
zanzarino:
That this will not happen soon - if at all[04:06:06]
Rinshen: omg zanz
[04:06:10]
Rinshen: damn it
[04:06:12]
PuppyChow: AY! I WANT MY QUESTIONS ANSWERED! ALL OF THEM!
[04:06:18]
zanzarino:
create*[04:06:34]
PuppyChow: lol that sounds fun. i can't believe you're actually answering my questions though
XD.
[04:06:37]
PhantomFox: Hehehe
[04:06:48]
guest-1865: thunderbolt sucks now.
[04:06:53]
zanzarino:
It's because i actually thought about it[04:07:04]
zanzarino:
[04:08:01]
zanzarino:
That map - or World of Elements idea would create more interactions
between players[04:08:09]
PuppyChow: needz moar questions. Do you have any plans on reducing the grind?
[04:08:13]
Rinshen: WoE lmao
[04:08:22]
Essence: Zanz...that idea is seriously the coolest idea I have ever heard.
[04:08:30]
PuppyChow: ^
[04:08:33]
zanzarino:
Daily quests sounds like reduced grinding to me[04:08:36]
Essence: Player-created PvE content -- it's the wave of the future.
[04:09:01]
smokefree: FoE Fortresses of Elements
[04:09:08]
Anothebrother: yea this map thing sounds awesome
[04:09:28]
PuppyChow: And how about changing T50 so we can actually set our decks?
[04:09:39]
PuppyChow: /now is just listing questions off of game suggestions forum
[04:09:42]
Rinshen: zance, are you able to link a reward system with inbuilt pvp tournaments in-game?
which shows the ladder or table of the people playing it it? dunno if u know what i mean >.<
[04:09:45]
PhantomFox: Depends on what the reward is
[04:10:05]
zanzarino:
I would have to re-write the leaderboard code myself for that[04:10:10]
PuppyChow: and putting turn order on the info box? your thoughts?
[04:10:16]
guest-1865: fractal is very cool.
[04:10:22]
Flare: so zanz you were saying something about the new reward system. What kind of new
reward system?
[04:10:30]
zanzarino:
turn order is already there[04:10:46]
zanzarino:
look at the tiny number in the new infobox[04:11:02]
Essence: Oooh, oooh, and create targeting code for quanta pools and cards in hand, so we
can make up crazy cards for the Card Ideas boards knowing that the code for them already exists!
And..and......
[04:11:10]
zanzarino:
Flare: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6579.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6579.0.html)[04:11:21]
PuppyChow: lol didn't know that. awesome. what about a third upgrade for cards using an
"upgrade machine"?
[04:11:49]
zanzarino:
Not sure new players would like that idea[04:11:51]
PuppyChow: and a card graveyard? or deciding if we want to attack?
[04:12:03]
guest-1865: how come you caint get the queen ability through mutations?
[04:12:07]
PuppyChow: and how about stacking permanents?
[04:12:13]
PuppyChow: /question overload
[04:12:16]
zanzarino:
uhm nah - and no[04:12:32]
zanzarino:
Not because graveyard is not a good idea it's just[04:12:37]
zanzarino:
Soo common[04:12:48]
PuppyChow: Elements for iPhone?
[04:12:49]
zanzarino:
We can do better[04:13:01]
PuppyChow: Teamed duels?
[04:13:02]
zanzarino:
Close to impossible[04:13:04]
Flare: oh that kind of reward system
[04:13:11]
Flare: i thought you were replacing the slot system
[04:13:19]
zanzarino:
would require rewriting everything[04:13:29]
zanzarino:
No slots are fine[04:13:56]
zanzarino:
Teamed duels sounds complicated - but who knows[04:13:58]
PuppyChow: i think you should spend a day and go through the game suggestions forum,
shooting down each and every idea. it would be pretty funny.
[04:14:14]
PhantomFox: *wakes up* What are we discussing now?
[04:14:22]
PhantomFox: New ideas?
[04:14:28]
PuppyChow: say things like "That's a horrible idea and would never work" or "This idea sucks.
Period." even if you don't mean it .
[04:14:32]
Essence: Or give me an account named "Zanzarimo" and I'll do it for you. :p
[04:14:36]
zanzarino:
Puppy got a rash of questions[04:14:51]
Essence: Literally, a rash. It's gross.
[04:14:58]
icecoldbro:
its amazing have hit 6 farms in a row and only have won a pharoh[04:15:12]
PuppyChow: Puppy got the idea of asking about every idea on the game suggestions forum*
[04:15:24]
Flare: hey ice
[04:15:27]
Flare: which 6 people?
[04:15:44]
Rogue: There does need to be something missing when people get to the point where they own
almost every card and have more money than they could ever spend
[04:15:45]
Flare: CB! and jangoo and nothingfarm and who else?
[04:15:49]
PhantomFox: Heh, I can come up with silly ideas all the time
[04:15:50]
icecoldbro:
no idea sorry[04:15:58]
PhantomFox: Such as a card mutator.
[04:16:11]
PuppyChow: anyway... endurance mode? elements casino? some use of relics? Autoplay pillars
and towers? Electrum bank? PvP 3?
[04:16:12]
PhantomFox: Transform a card in your library to another random card
[04:16:14]
PhantomFox: For a cost
[04:16:17]
zanzarino:
Also, about the iphone... turns out that they are now selling more droids than
iphones[04:16:18]
icecoldbro:
maybe i was just getting lucky with there draws[04:16:29]
PhantomFox: Of the same upgrade status
[04:16:39]
Essence: Hey, zanz, can you answer a totally irrelevant question for my personal benefit?
Before Shockwave, had you made a decision to deliberately avoid spells that killed creatures without taking
their HP into account somehow?
[04:16:56]
PuppyChow: yes but apps are also downloaded by iTouch users, which is also really popular
.
[04:17:01]
smokefree: Any chance we might see SoG cost nerfed??
[04:17:24]
Essence: And as a side question, was Carcinogen changed to be poison-like because of that
decision to avoid such spells?
[04:17:35]
zanzarino:
Yes I'd like to keep shockwave the only thing that ignores creatures HP's[04:17:42]
zanzarino:
Yes[04:17:51]
Flare: smokefree WHY NERF SOG!?!?
[04:17:53]
Essence: Thanks!
[04:18:00]
PuppyChow: *Starts asking long and annoying questions like Essense*
[04:18:17]
zanzarino:
lol[04:18:30]
zanzarino:
endurance mode and other "modes" - why not[04:18:41]
zanzarino:
casino - why not[04:18:50]
smokefree: way to cheap
[04:18:52]
PuppyChow: So, Zanz, two hours before the sundial nerf, did you know all the complaints you
would get about the newly lengthed grind for newbie players that you got?
[04:18:52]
zanzarino:
relics - no, never[04:18:56]
Flare: i want a use for relics
[04:18:58]
icecoldbro:
well broke my record of continnuos farms but now got someguy whos using
a RoL deck which i beat and got a hourglass[04:19:00]
zanzarino:
autoplay - no[04:19:03]
zanzarino:
bank - no[04:19:11]
zanzarino:
pvp 3 - maybe one day[04:19:29]
Flare: wait zanz why not auto play pillars?
[04:19:38]
zanzarino:
Yes - I knew people would complain[04:19:39]
PuppyChow: XD. i like all this info we're getting. I may just copy/paste the history into a topic.
[04:19:56]
zanzarino:
People always complain because it is not possible to make everyone happy[04:20:00]
icecoldbro:
how about pvp3 people with more than half there decks uped[04:20:20]
Rogue: auto play pillars is a bad idea takes away holding them if playing an earthquake or
destruction deck
[04:20:25]
Flare: like maybe have the option in the settings or something to turn autoplay pillars on and
off.
[04:20:26]
zanzarino:
Because you might want to keep the pillar in your hand[04:20:39]
PuppyChow: Here we go... copy pasting .
[04:20:42]
Flare: and be able to change it in the middle of a battle
[04:20:45]
icecoldbro:
exactly or even a devourer syphon[04:20:57]
zanzarino:
I could make it optionla but it would complicate the UI - and my life
