General Discussion / Re: Fractal PvP 3 times accused to be a hacker.

To play devils advocate, why would you look in the bazaar for new cards?

If you didn't notice the version number increased to 1.21 and then check for new cards, what mechanism exists for a player to realize the game has been updated?

Having the games end up abruptly doesn't help either.

Besides, I think there should be a queue of the last cards played by the opponent shown somewhere ingame.
As a new player, I had trouble trying to follow the enemy's movements.

Well hello! =D

Truth to be told, I've been grinding FGs for the past two weeks. I already have ~20 upped cards (Pillars are hard >_<) and I'm killing most FGs with a deck of my own and having fun 

So, now, I come to you with some new ideas:

How about an option to remove the time counter in PVP, if both players agree?
I play at work and sometimes we get distracted and miss the countdown =(

Creatures of the same type and without buffs should be stacked in the playing area. Having 4 or 5 FQ producing fireflies it takes three turns to fill it,  rendering them useless and preventing you from playing other creatures. And I'm not even talking of Fractal here.

I know zanz is trying to nerf rainbow decks, but as long as a mono pillar produces one quanta while a quantum pillar produces three, my SoGs and dissipation fields will always feel more comfortable with the latter.
It's unoriginal of me, I know, but we REALLY need better quanta gain for mono decks.
A quantum pillar that gives one X quanta and one Y quanta, with another quanta given either to X or to Y should work with duo decks, but for mono, I'll go with a x3 mark (After the game checks that the deck you are using is REALLY mono). I've introduced a few friends to the game and, two days latter, got them mad at the imbalance and playing with rainbow decks, without having to check the wiki nor the forums :S

Pillars should cost less to upgrade. I'm thinking 250-500 ec.

Hope should eat X light quanta per turn (The number of bioluminiscent creatures). Or, at least, it should be targetteable :S
I've seen AIs throwing eleven ray of lights at me (Fractal) after I used my last creature control spell.
OF COURSE, I had my whole playing field filled 10/Z creatures and he could keep the shield going without any penalties. At least, dissipation field consumes quanta.

The creatures multiplied by Fractal should be temporal. Maybe give them a X turns lifespan (X being aether quanta / 10 + 1, to make them able to use their skills). It feels like overkill right now.


Well, what do you think? =)

That result PuppyChow mentioned was from my test.
Your results are way below mine, probably you don't got used to this deck. I barely think playing it, just put wathever is in your hand, Graboids first if you have the two of them.

If you can just get this much money with this deck there is another problem that I can't figure it out.
The deck itself surely isn't the one.

Never said that the deck was the problem.
Still, Shrieker rush isn't rocket science. I've played just like you mention so the problem must be elsewhere.

Are we even playing the same version? XD

On the other hand, if I start building another deck instead of upgrading the AI3 rusher, it'll take at least another three weeks.
If I upgrade the AI3 rusher, by the end of the week it could be used to rush the Top50, upgrading my income rate.

This makes no sense. You could upgrade most rainbows the same rate, so it's not like it would take longer. And you don't need the whole deck upgraded.

And after that, you could have that T50 rush deck upped in a few days, whereas upping your FG rainbow after the T50 rush deck would take another few weeks.

So let's see...

Upgrade FG rainbow first:
-2 weeks or so to up FG rainbow
-4 days or so to up T50 rush
Total: 2 weeks, 4 days

Upgrade T50 rush first:
-2 weeks or so to up T50 rush
-1-2 weeks or so to up FG rainbow
Total: 3-4 weeks

Mmmmm... yes, I see your point.
And if I use SG's with only 7 cards upped I'll farm FGs by the middle of the second week.
I just got excited about using upped cards instead of saving them for later xD


Thanks to both of you, yesterday I played for another hour with my deck and got 1400 coins selling rares (A Trident and a Titan) =)

Yeah, I've tried Shrieker Rush before.
Still, I gave it another oportunity:

1st duel: Outrushed by entropy AI3
2nd duel: Won, left with 3 HP.
3rd duel: xD

(http://xs.to/share-2982_4B99A7D7.html)

Got my first creature at round 4, AI played Dusk Mantle, 3 shriekers missed every attack until I got defeated by turn 8.

4th duel: Won against poison AI3, left with 10 HP.
5th duel: Won against poison AI3, left with 44 HP. Won a chrysaora!
6th duel: Won against fire AI3, left with 64 HP.
7th duel: Won against rainbow AI3, left with 24 HP.
8th duel: Won against time AI3, left with 6 HP.
9th duel: Won against water AI3, left with 35 HP.
10th duel: Won against life AI3, left with 52 HP.


Those 10 games took about 18 minutes.
Winning ratio 80%. One non rare card (Chrysaora).

8 x 15 = 120 - 2 x 10 = 100 coins.

18 minutes, 100 coins (117 without selling "rares" xD).

No Land Stompy kills faster (Got used to deal 10 dmg at first round), has virtually no bad draws, it's creatures are cheaper to play if they get reversed and modified with a Life staff and one rustler instead of one of the forest spirits gives a good chance of EM. (There, I told you my secret XD)

Shrieker rush has the same disadvantages of my deck, creature control and a good shield are evil.
On the other side, my deck has no pillars nor permanents (Besides the life staff) and, adding some quantum pillars (No more than 3), it could stand a chance in PvP.


Thanks for your idea PC, maybe I just had bad luck :S

On the other hand, if I start building another deck instead of upgrading the AI3 rusher, it'll take at least another three weeks.
If I upgrade the AI3 rusher, by the end of the week it could be used to rush the Top50, upgrading my income rate.


PS: Ouch, I lost 700 coins switching decks. I forgot to use the trainer ._.

Hello =D

Well, after some grinding sessions (Lost my 3 upped cards trying new strategies) I ended up realizing WHERE I got it all wrong:
Farming harder levels without a proper deck ends up being non rewarding because of the time and the effort it takes.

I'm currently farming AI3 with a modified No Land Stompy that gets me 50-60% EMs and I got 1k coins in 1.5 hours.
At this rate, in a week I'll have 8 upped cards and I'll be killing AI3 in 4 turns with EM, upping all the deck in the next week.

Two weeks for an upped deck, playing 1.5 hours a day. This should be somewhere visible I think.

Beautiful job.

Quote this message exactly as it is until you can no longer read the words.

liek dis?

and this?

Scyther

You're doing it wrong.

So there is a right way to do it?

I'm sure I had it right first

That should be right, right?

Wrong should be like this

Let's hope SG doesn't see this... If she does, she might delete it all...

What delete our amazing work....

Did you notice? As you get closer to the center, the text becomes smaller and smaller. I wonder if it decreases linearly or geometrically?

Yeah, we noticed. That's what Gl1tch said in the firs post xD

yeah!!! barely can see anything

Oh Gl1tch, get back in the Forum Adventure, I wanna play!

Yea fine.... I'll be there.

me join 2

good for you (I wanna see if smilies get smaller or screw this whole thing xD)

Could be cool.

For seeing! Experiments are how science is formed!

The control can be the emoticonless posts.  Say, I wonder if images would screw it up.... we'll test that next.

OK!

Wheee science.

It'll just say View Image.

But will the View Image button shrink with the rest of the text?

Let pyramid rise.

Apparently it doesn't shrinks / edit, oh, it does

But the smileys doesnt

I'm amazed we've erected this thing so quickly........

Lol, I wonder how big it can get.

Look, I just added a whole asstonne of random quote tags to accelerate the process!

And you're cheating, too. :PPP

Don't see why not, and is this inspired by me in any chance?

Of course it is.

Ima ninja... We should do this again later but have all posts consist of a certain smiley or in color order, to make it better

Ah whatever, I guess we are in Egypt now.

Quickly now everyone, put a  at the top and bottom of your posts!

Semi-parabolic curve. Very interesting.

Indeed

Those are a lot of licks. We do have a selection.

Actually, it kind of reminds me of a ziggurath...

I know, the ones I wrote about are the "hard" FGs.

And yes, I had used that deck for the past week against AI3, Top50 and AI5 with really good results. I ended up changing the strategy to something along the lines of an Aflatoxin Mutant Factory and got a really good deck (Two Aflatoxins instead of the Boneyard and one Pillar)... that lost miserably against the FGs >_<

Well, at least I'm kicking ass at PvP xD (Ten wins, nine of which EMs. And I got 4 unupped cards in the slots, for the first time since last thursday :S)

Thanks icybraker!

Heh, I just tried to kill FGs with my SG's unnuped FG killer (Both Otys, the Fallen Elf and one Hourglass upped) and got beaten 25 times in a row.

Some bad draws, some Divine Glory, some Seism (Got to shield my quantum pillars by turn 3, playing sundials all along. By turn 7 he had killed me with his massive army), some Rainbow, some Scorpio (Got 10 poison on me by turn 2, I just kept drawing pillars)...

Maybe I'm just unlucky 

Is it always like this in the beginning?
When Chemist said that "Learning how to farm FGs effectively involves losing a lot." did he meant "Lose 750 coins while you don't learn anything at all"?

I'm sorry about the rant, I guess I'll PVP my frustration off :p
