Dear Mr. Farm deck in Top 50..

[plastiqe]

I totally knew this was a joke-aimed-at-the-fact-that-this-game's-upgrade-prices-and-rates-are-so-stupid-that-people-had-to-go-make-farm-decks-to-begin-with all along.  I mean how can you not tell what the OP was talking about?  Learn to read between the lines people!!

Menthollove, light hearted is not our specialty on these boards.  If however you're looking for arguements instead of discussion, forum drama and threads that veer off topic like a drunken unicyclist then you've come to the right place, lol.

* The mechanism to prevent infinite loops described at the end of the post, doesn't stop searching for non-pillar cards after 50 failed attempts but after 10. That makes the risks to get a pillar from the spinning wheel much higher for builds that have about 50% pillars (or more). Also, only elemental pillars, elemental towers and quantum pillars are excluded. For some reasons, quantum towers are considered valid.

My understanding from reading the spinning mechanics is that the best farm deck would have:
6x rare
6x rare
18x pillar

or

6x rare
6x rare
6x rare
12x pillar

Maybe we should remind those t50 guys that putting 3 copies of each rare weapon in a 36 cards deck is a quite terrible idea? The chances for players to get something out of this deck are actually very low because there are too many different types of cards in it.
The best farming deck is made of :
24 x random pillars (but NOT quantum towers)
6 x rare weapon of your choice (6 times the SAME weapon)

You should start a thread about that.

There are threads with this discussion already in it. No need to create duplicate topics.

I've come to the conclusion that a deck with 6x, 6x, and 18 pillars (not towers) is better than just one type of rare and 24 pillars. If you have just 6 of one rare, you will find the pillars showing up much more frequently than if you use 6 copies of two rares. With exactly 50% minus one card of your deck as pillars, you can effectively reduce the spin chance on pillars to almost nil.

None of those threads are titled "How To Make The Best Possible Rare Farm Deck".

Sure the information is there but it's hidden somewhere on the bottom of page four where nobody will ever find it.

Important topics need their own threads.

The formula is right there in one of the stickies, it is effectively titled "How to make the best possible rare farm deck" simply because that thread gives the formula on how to do it.  The title mentions how slots work.  Anyone interested in making a farm deck should be able to easily see that thread and use critical thinking to assume that that thread would show them how to make as good of a top 50 farm deck as possible.

I'm a big fan of good web usability and forcing users to use "critical thinking" in order to find the information they need is a bad idea.

There's a lot of crap posted here every day (I know this because half of them arewere posted by me) and when there is something that really helps the community (like this rare farm thing) there should be a sticky thread made immediately.

I'd like to see a thread where the original post explains everything about rare farm decks and how to design one.

OP failed with this thread. He should have gone more over-board with his first post because we have tons of people on this forum who start threads exactly like this one.

I read his post and thought to myself: "This guy is nuts", but didn't even consider it being a joke. Haha, what does that tell about this community?

It started as a failed joke but turned into a real discussion which is always good. It sucks that we need these rare farms but what can you do?

I'm well aware.  That's why I didn't sign up until recently (I only made this account like a few weeks ago? I don't remember).  I noticed wherever Scaredgirl posts the thread immediately becomes about something else.

Most kiddies cannot handle me giving it to them straight without any sugar-coating. They take this internet thing too seriously and take all criticism personally. Not a good combination.

Anyways.. I couldn't care less.

I didn't fail my joke.  Your sense of humor failed.  Just because you and your community have killed a forum and it's sense of humor (As already admitted to in this thread) does not mean my "joke failed".  Good job with the subtle insults, though.  Noticeable enough to anger people, but slight enough to prevent a report.  You should trademark that.

Kiddies?  You're 19.  You ARE a kid. 

Jesus.. lol, you might want to look into anger management.

I only said the joke failed because nobody got it and you had to explain it. Like I said you should have made it more over-board.

But I'll rephrase my comment: "Your joke was very funny indeed, haha".

Feel better?

[Scaredgirl]

Ignorance tends to aggravate me.  Sorry.  I also HATE when kids call people "kids" OR EVEN WORSE say "back in the day".

One thing about internet forums is that never assume the information a person has in his/her profile is actually true.

I don't think I have ever been truthful about my age in my profile. I have always click a number by random. I do it because my age is irrelevant to what I am posting here and I try not to give out any personal information in case of stalkers and other weirdos.

p.s. I'm not a kid.

I remember back in the day when we didn't have petty arguments about things and stuff.

I was wondering when our official Drama Queen Moderator would come in and share his feelings.

Feeling better now?

I had the same idea. Making a guide on how to design a good Top 50 Farm deck would be quite useful, and help other players know what to look for. Also, it should provide tips for people who don't have enough of certain rares, but are still in the top 50.

Of course I feel better. I always feel better after making a joke.
