What else is there to do now? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=26302.msg334623#msg334623

Hi everyone,

I have been playing this magnificent card game for over a year now and I've hit a wall.

There seems to be nothing left for me to do in elements.

I have done almost everything and the only thing left for me to do is to collect nymphs. 4 and counting so far.

So... any ideas? I enjoy this game but there has to be more than just earning coin and upgrading cards.

You can play pvp and if that gets boring the forum has all sorts of variations on elements pvp that will keep you busy.

You can try joining one of the Weekly PvP Tournaments (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6997.0.html) hosted by the community - you can pick a Nymph as a prize if you take first place, so that'll aid you with your goal.

You can also participate in the PvP Leagues (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7361.0.html) or look into some of the ongoing and upcoming PvP Events (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,190.0.html) to see if any interest you.

Maybe pay the Chat (http://elementscommunity.org/chat/chat.php) a visit sometime, I hope to see you around in some way-shape-or-form.

Have you got every card upgraded? Gets into T50? It's definitely a long way...

I myself have all cards, upgrades, all that sort of stuff... but still find pleasure in various PvP events that challenge you to build decks under all sorts of different restrictions. Forum has a lot of fun stuff to offer, so be sure to explore :)
The game itself lacks depth without community involvement to play it for a longer period of time, at least in my opinion. But more updates will keep coming either way!

I have like 1800 cards and probably 600 of em are upped.

Sitting on 40K+ coins at the moment with nothing new to upgrade. Can't even upgrade the nymphs cause if I wanted to use in in comps it has to be unupped I heard.

Sitting on 125K points and getting into T50 IMO is not about skill, just lots of time to grind AI3 or T50.  At 10k points a day I'll be in a comfortable range in 2 weeks at like 265K and be able to hang in T50 for a good portion of the week. Even if I was bored enough to do it T500 is coming soon.

Maybe I'll read up on this underworld thingy. Sounds like fun.

Thanks for the PVP ideas guys. The reason I have not participated in the competitions is cuz I work full time and only have weekends free which is spent doing anything else except sitting in front of a PC. I only spend time on the PC on weekdays after work.

Come on lottery ticket! Get me outta the rat race!

Unemployment meant i could grind like a madman before and a T50 spot. Thanks to that i have all cards/rares/upgrades and also 22 (i think) nymphs and 7 mark cards. Now i cant do that due to work and dont have the will nor the inclination to do so.

The only thing i do every other day is the oracle and the FG predicted. My wish is for an update with daily quests or similar. Anything in that way would be nice.

That would be really nice. Since i am also at the daily routine with Oracle + FG if i like to, dailies with acceptable rewards and/or T500 are the things i am looking forward to.

You could involve yourself in the community by designing decks, testing decks, posting interesting thoughts, etc.

In the game itself, the Oracle is everything.
The FG challenges are obvious, and sometimes its cooler to challenge yourself by checking their deck out and working off that, rather than a random anti-FG. For me, that means a various deck with aflatoxin, either on my side with Bonds, or on theirs with Solar Shield, or Vultures, UGs or something.

Also with 3 game pets, you can play around with those. If it's Dune Scorpion, you are in huge luck, but even then, you can get some pretty cool decks going with Schroedingers, Chrysaora, and sometimes even Sparks.


And obviously, the external PvP is great, the more restrictive and challenging the better.

There is also a lot of buzz about the card competitions.  These are even taking on a sort of pvp feel to them now.  I myself have not participated because I have zero artistic ability, but have considered working together with some other players on some ideas.

There are other events such as WoE and mafia that involve the entire community.

I myself spent two entire months trying to make a better AI3 farmer than USEM.  The game can challenge you in so many fun and creative ways, you just have to search around.

Ultimately, I would say the best way to make yourself really grow attached to the game and get involved would be by:

1.  Getting to know other people in chat.
2.  Getting involved in as much pvp as your schedule permits.

I think, there are still things, you can do:
- Get a forum position , organize things... (nothing for me, now)
- participate in competitions of any kind (Card Creation, Tourney,War..)
- write interesting articles
- not all good decks are discovered, yet. Improve Deck Building
- People say, that lvl5 doesn´t give enough money. Is this true ?
- play with the great possibilities of our trainer
- bring your experience to the new (mentor program, chat)
- PvP games
- chat discussions
- score (Top 50) and cards
- the rest of forum activity
