Hi.  I'm LOVING THE GAME.  But there is this extremely annoying issue with P2P...I'm creaming this guy and he get's down to 20 or 10 or even 5 health sometimes and then BOOM.  My timer runs out and I 'disconnect' and 'lose the battle'. 

I know it has nothing to do with how much health they have left but this issue happens 3, 4 times in a row sometimes.  I ping to the link it gives me and it goes to 10,000 ping then says 'timeout'. 

I really want to play against human players to grind up a bank!! 

Thanks for any help or suggestions. 

(My computer and internet has always worked perfectly fine in every other online game just to note.)

Hi guys.  One more question for now. 

When joining the arena, I play against CPU's that are mimicking player decks, correct?  But they also sometimes have up to 200 hp and 3x the amount of elementals per turn for their mark. 

Is it possible to get more hp when battling in the arena?  My deck is very strong but going up against 200 hp players who have 60+ cards in their deck is a bit...err - challenging?

Thanks.

Decks submitted to arena are created by players but controlled by the AI. When a player is creating their deck, they can use "skill points" to add attributes (extra hp, etc) to their submitted deck. You get one skill point for each "level" on your main account (which you raise by getting more score). You cannot get inherent attributes (extra hp, etc) for any deck you control, though there are some various cards you can put in your deck (SoD, stone skin) which will increase your max hp when played for the duration of the match or approximate some of the other attributes.

If you spend too long taking your turn then you willl be disconnected and lose. If you're talking about the game suddenly saying "You have lost connection, you will lose this match in 9,8,7..." then its a connection fault I'm guessing but I'm no expert.

Nope, you as a player will always start with 100 health and a single mark. You can increase your health using SoD and stone skin (see previous page) and you can play mark cards (ultra rare) to increase your mark. Other than that you just have to get a good arena deck and play smart.

It makes sense, but it seems to that in order to fight someone with much more hp then your deck strategy has to change entirely.  My deck is a blitz type - I can take a human player out in a matter of 10 - 12 turns usually - but my deck is based off the strat that they will only have 100 hp. 

It's a bit frustrating that I would have to change my entire deck in order to battle longer/more strategic battles using a more sophisticated deck.  It wouldn't be such a problem but regarding my other post about disconnecting against human players, I am in a state of having to grind and grind higher hp CPU opponents or grinding the level 3/4 fields with my blitz deck.

I think at least...in the arena - Players should be able to use their ability points to gain higher hp, etc.  Has this ever been discussed to add in as a feature?  I would love that.  Level up your cards AND level up your player at the same time.

(Ultra rare?) 

Is that higher than rare or are you just using an adjective to exaggerate their frequency?  Are there any cards in the game other than the ones on this link?  (All these cards only go up to 'rare' status)

I also don't remember seeing a card for increasing mark.  Some shard or something I overlooked?

I never take too long.  I end my turn in a matter of 2 or 3 seconds as my deck is very plain and straightforward but gets the job done.  Then I wait for 40+ seconds, only to find out I have the connection issue?  I hope someone can help me out here or if other players have the same issue.

It makes sense, but it seems to that in order to fight someone with much more hp then your deck strategy has to change entirely. There are plenty players who use more than 30 decks. All different. I personally use a .txt file to save my deck codes to load them up quickly.

Well I guess you haven't heard about the Mark Cards. For example:



You can only get marks by participating events on this forum.

There are 3 levels of rare cards
1. Rare - Rare weapons, shards, miracle, squid, pharaoh - Can be gathered from spins and the oracle
2. Ultra Rare - Nymphs - Can be gathered from the oracle or winning (or placing high) in forum events
3. Really super mega Ultra Rare (still called Ultra Rare)- Marks - Can be gathered by winning (or placing high) in forum events

Mark cards (unupped) sit on top of your mark and cannot be touched by PC.
Mark cards (upped) are just like upped pillars and can be targeted by PC. Marks usually aren't upgraded for this reason.

Also, you're using the old wiki. The new wiki is here http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/Main_Page . Its more up to date and generally better

Also, 2000th reply!

Mark cards are still considered only Ultra Rare.

There are only THREE levels of rarity in this game:

• Common
• Rare
• Ultra Rare

You can tell if a card fits into one of these categories by looking at the upper left of the card, under the card name. If there are no stripes, it is Common. If there are two stripes, it is Rare. If there are three stripes, it is Ultra Rare.

Example of Common:


Example of Rare:


Example of Ultra Rare:

There are plenty players who use more than 30 decks. All different. I personally use a .txt file to save my deck codes to load them up quickly.

I also use a text file, but we also have made a tool available for those who want to store their decks online in an easy-to-access manner.

I would like to know if it is possible to get upgraded cards by fighting pvp.
