Oracle Predictions

[Clathius]

Just some rambling on the Oracle...

Why does the Oracle so rarely predict the next FG?   I have only had it do this four times...by comparison I have won 3 nymphs.

Why isn't this prediction 100%?   Would it really be game breaking if once per day you knew the next FG?   The worst this would do *IF* you could then beat that FG 100% of time is give players an upgraded card 15% chance each day. 

Personally, it would be really fun from a deck building perspective if we knew we were about to face some of the really hard FG like Hermes, Obliterator, etc and so we could prepare.

I am not sure it would even be game breaking if we could challenge each FG once per day.    This would certainly add a ton of replayability to the game as players would seek to have multiple FG decks rather than trying to build the "one deck" that can tackle some of the FGs some of the time while completely accepting the deck is going to lose to X, Y,and Z.   

IMO the most immediately way to break the rainbow monopoly is give us the chance to know which FG is coming...either once per day through the oracle or give us repeatable quests that allow you to challenge specific FG.

It doesn't; I get an FG prediction every day, almost.

by comparison I have won 3 nymphs.

I hate you so much, I haven't gotten a single nymph yet. It just goes to show how the oracle statistics are different for every person.

i get an FG prediction about 50 % of the time :/
but i've only got 1 nymph

Okay so it is random...and some people are getting predictions at 50%...

Why not remove the randomness and give a prediction every single day?

The Oracle isn't omniscient. He has other things to do rather than help you out.

In seriousness, I think it should give you a prediction every day, or at least a lot more often. The number of times I've upgraded a few cards, want to test it out on a fairly difficult god like Morte, but because the Oracle didn't predict, I have to hope, and usually end up with Octane or similar.

I also think that the Oracle should give you cards slightly more often. I'll never forget the days where I got shown a Lobotomiser, or an Eternity, but no  "Get Card" button appeared. I am still looking for both as of today :L
