Upgrade Cost https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=2238.msg18287#msg18287

Just a quick question here for the Admins and Zanzarino:

There has been a lot of talk whether the upgrade costs of 1500 electrum is too high, if there should be an upgrade system implemented that will be oriented on the original (unupped) cards cost etc.

Just wanted to know if there are any plans to change something about it in the near future. ?

Who took the jam out of your doughnut, Cisco? :)

Look how quickly we got all the Nymph Cards, Black Hole, Precognition and Basilisk's Blood implemented (even to the Trainer, but still).

I for one agree with the consensus that 1,500 is way too high. There should be a grading on cards depending on their use. Ie.


Creature with Low Stats = 500 (maybe 4/4 being considered 'low')
Creature with High Stats = 1000 (maybe 5+/5+ being considered 'high)
Creature with Ability = 1,500 (maybe exclude 'dive' and 'light'/'fire' etc.)

Quantum Pillar = 750
Elemental Quantum Pillar = 500

Or something along those lines... The sheer depth and variety of cards/uses and what their upgraded counterparts do - would be far too long a list to even consider compiling a list of what their upgrade costs should be!

I guess like Cisco said for now the 1,500 will have to remain. But my two cents is that either, 1) Different cards cost differently to upgrade. or 2) Some cards cost a hell of a lot more to upgrade (ie. should be specifically hard to win on a spin).

Zanz has made changes before to make upgrades easier to obtain, so I wouldn't say that another change like this will never happen again. If it does happen, it probably won't happen again anytime soon.
