how much of an update should it be?

[deadwolf]

I have a modest suggestion: Rather than a huge update with a bunch of new cards released all at once, it might be better to add a new card to the mix every couple of weeks.

I suggest this for 2 reasons:

1) Given that it seems like there is now a rather long time between updates, this would allow the developers more time to develop new cards, maybe providing a system whereby there are continuous updates (rather than a feast or famine approach), and

2) If all the cards are released at once, players will spend 2-3 weeks trying to find an optimal combination and reach a new, stagnant plateau; if a new card is released every couple of weeks, there will be constant retooling of decks (thereby keeping people interested in the game).

What do you all think?

I agree 100%.

A new card every 1-2 weeks would be best. It would definitely help keep the players interested like you said, and wouldn't require developers to quit their day jobs.

Before the last updat..updates where more constant. Zanzarino the developer has a Job and does this in his freetime. So updates will happen  here and there as time allows. Since the last update been a while I think it´s a great thing to  have a bigger one.

I am not planning on releasing all the "alchemy" cards at once. But I need to at least try as many as I can in the trainer and add them to the official version of the game as soon as possible. Cards will be available in the game as soon as they are "bug free" and balanced as much as possible.

So, you, O GREAT AMD MIGHTY, shall find a hour free on weekends, check the forums for suggestions, and in case of a nice concept develop it as a beta and put it in the trainer, and the next weekend, if it passes judgement of balance, implement it into the maingame. And wollah, card every week or two.

Also, the Elementsthegame.wikia card ideas forum has a slew of ideas as well. Please look at least at the Bill Door sections (those ones are mine)
If you have the chance, tell me your 'on the forum' schedule for, like, a week and I can put the ideas up on the forum pages.
I have made a huge amount of card ideas
