If you had to start the game over again, what would you do?

[Tea is good]

Okay, I should clarify the question: What would be the steps you would take until you feel you have been successful with the game?

I don't feel successful with my main account. I'd prolly just buy darkness, sell all my cards, make a un-upped fire deck, play t50, upgrade a ccyb type fg deck, farm that, get more upgraded cards, buy USEM, buy more upgraded cards to test whatever strike my fancy +4 months >>> where I am now. Keep doing what I'm doing, wait for good pvp players to leave, win CL >>> realized that it took me 50 years to "beat the game" >>> get elements tombstone >>>> die >>>> go to heaven and start over.

Make sure not to upgrade any of my nymphs that I Oracled...Noob move.

Pick fire, build Vreely's unupped t50 grinder, grind ai3 with it, up to vNG, grind more ai3, once at 60k score, build ccyb and farm fg's.

Heh, having reset my account once already and being quite pleased with the results, I'm not sure there's much for me to do differently if I were to do it all over again.  However, if I were to repeat the process, I would start with the starter and modify if to become an AI3 grinder until I could afford Flay 'Em, use that until I could afford a full fledged CCYB, and then go from there.

I would kill myself

Seriously though, I think I would just start all over again, I would go fire, farm T50 for a while, then build up for Rol/Hope (stopping at 6 rares each for electrum), then go back to CCYB and I'm back where I ended

Simple: start about 25 new Darkness accounts, sell off the cards to swap out to this deck:

Code: [Select]

4vj 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5lg 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t
Then, each day, I'd watch for the Oracle to spin up one of the Gods that that deck can beat, and beat it.  The first account that won a few upgraded cards, I'd keep (ditch the rest), buy Grabbix when I got the 500 point quest completed, and start farming t50 and collecting the cards from the Newbie Killing FGs FTW thread so that I could keep getting upgraded cards on a semi-regular basis.

If I had to reset my account I'd be too mad and smash my computer into pieces... After I managed to get a new one I'd go with a adrenafrog start until I get money for a more stable T50 farmer. But maybe by the time I get my computer done there will be T500, so I'll have to think accordingly

Also it's a great idea Essence. It should be suggested to newbies with a greater emphasis. There are simple decks, which can beat FGs and yield to  . Maybe the second best Tip of the year? I think knowing how to beat FGs easily can be invaluable.

Wait, how can you fight Fake Gods before the 500 point quest?

Essence is the Oracle. He's probably got a personal link to the False God from the Oracle page.

[Vineroz]

If I have to reset my account, I would never start playing again. This game has ruined my life.

[Jangoo]

I'd quit too.

My acc is like ... old money.

No way to bring all that back without missing out on something ... a mouse-finger for example.

My advice for new players:

Do whatever with those starter-decks etc. but:

GET GOING ON THE T50 ASAP AND FARM RARES WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Okay, I should clarify the question: What would be the steps you would take until you feel you have been successful with the game?

If I had to start over... I'd follow the right grinding path from the beginning instead of trying to cope with my few cards during 8 months

I'm not successful with the game yet, and I play since 2009. If I had to reset my account, first I'd continue playing (new challenge !)

I would take directly the way of grinding instead of trying do build successful decks against AI2. I'd grind, enlessly until I have enough cards to make a worthy FG Grinder. And then, I'd gather all unupgraded cards. I'd know the strategies to use against every FG. I'd gather all upped cards.

But I wouldn't feel successful. There's too much to do with Elements for that.
