shard of focus - the biggest bug in the game ..

[ntz]

Hello,

i played more than 10k fights, spent with elements real lot time .. stopped playing 6 months ago, yesterday and today played again ..

nothing has changed - i stopped due to the crippled balance and mass abuse of shard of focus .. in 18 of 20 recent fights had opponent this **retarded shard and in the most of cases creativeless rainbow ...
thanks devels .. reading some topics here and obviously no-one listens to the voice of the crowd - at least the part with inventive brain ,,

i want teh hours and days back ..

regards, daniel

Until Zanz fixes this, the solution is to play in community events that have shard of focus (and some other cards) banned.

thanks for the point cheesy .. i have to admit that i never played single community event although i have 10k fights and about 300-500 (really don't know how many) cards upped ..
also i suppose there real decks .. really thanks for the point

Alternatively, fight the SoFo with SoFo of your own or pillarless decks!

You could as well, always go back to FG's as opposed to the arena... Except for Osiris and Akebono, who now also have SoFos. But 2 opponents out of 29 with 'em is better than 18 out of 20.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

i have of course 6/6 SoFs .. but i tell ya:

Death Before Dishonour !!

^^ that's the path i follow .. one way course set for destruction - full speed ahead ..

Rant? Now that's original. What proof do you have that Zanz doesn't listen.
Regardless, it will be nerfed.

Yeah, there's pages and pages of negative feedback about this card.  Zanz hasn't ever responded to any of it.  Keep in mind that this game is developed by one person, in his free time.  He was somewhat active on the forums when the last version update came out (1.31) but he hasn't been active since then.  (or at least hasn't done anything more than lurk)  Most likely he's been busy with real life and his actual job (he gets nothing from elements other than maybe a bit of advertising money and the occasional player donation for shards) and probably hasn't seen most of our complaints about it, or else hasn't had time to do anything about it.

I do feel your pain, though; it's frustrating to have to design every deck based on the rather large possibility that you're going to see this card used against you.  Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done other than 1) pack counters in every deck, like mind flayer, lightning, etc, and 2) abuse the living hell out of it vs the AI while you can.

thanks boys .. i feel better .. will end up with pvp and start playing occasionally on events .. makes a sense.

@majofa ::



check ^^ the ratio - almost 1:1 - of my wins/loses .. that's due to the I *never *never *never *never play rainbow - and i never did - in PVP .. as i said, i feel better dead than playing **poor deck .. i play this game since its beginning, i don't need to build killing rainbows but rather nice decks.

While TStars record predates the existence of Shard of Focus - his Beginner's League record stands as evidence that monos and duos can be hugely successful in competitive PvP - even against rainbows.
