General Discussion / Re: Has this happened to you?

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I've switched to PVP, which also has its share of frustrations, but I've managed to get exactly one (1) Shard of Sacrifice in about a hundred matches or so... Lots of dollars, though. Those are useful, too.

General Discussion / Has this happened to you?

I'm playing Platinum level in the arena, defeat my first opponent, but I don't get too excited. I mean, only a third of the way there, you know?

Second opponent seems plagued by bad draws, only gets three werewolves out, unable to use the special ability. I win again. Starting to get a little cautiously optimistic that I shot at a special, double-bonus, rock and roll, good time spin...

Third opponent also plagued by bad draws, duo deck only getting mono towers. I manage to win again! Awesome! Maybe I'll get another of the elusive shards I hate playing against so much!

The special reels start spinning... First one stops... Second one stops... Third one stops...

And I win an Arctic Octopus.

Game Suggestions and Feedback / Re: Handicap System for the arena

« on: February 14, 2012, 10:41:37 pm »

God yes, this is a great idea. On all levels of the arena, there are approximately 5 different deck variations, which increase in difficulty from annoying to impossible to win against. Just as there's a counter for duplicate cards, could a handicap value be built in for each card, with perhaps a maximum value counter before you lose your win reward altogether? I think there should be an ultimate penalty of 0 cash per win above a certain handicap, personally. I doubt this will encourage creativity, as the attitude, almost universally, seems to be "create the same deck as everyone else and bask in the radiant warmth of AI wins as though you've accomplished something". I might be bitter.

Gold League Decks / Re: Zhangvict's Gold League Decks

What's the point of making this deck for the arena? It's not exactly new or creative, but it is just like all the other decks you come across in the Arena. It's weird that so many people play this game, yet there seems to be a total of five Arena decks. I think I'm expressing a common frustration here: play with this deck, fine, but come up with something new for the Arena. You might not win, but try to make it fun at least.

Gold League Decks / Atom9 Gold Arena Deck

Here's a deck I made this morning. Thought I'd post, as I don't seem to have enough random dudes telling me what a horrible idiot I am. I don't know about it's performance yet, but it seemed like a good idea for a deck. I know upping the Crusaders will improve it, but I was feeling lazy.
