Cannot save new arena deck

[Blues]

I tried several times, but always got the message that my deck cannot be sved because connection to server failed.
Anybody else with this problem?

Mine just never connects, but it's the same issue.  I tried restarting elements but that didn't work.  I also tried loading the leaderboard, going back, and going back into arena (this will work as a one-time fix for when arena won't load, so I can play vs arena still) but I still can't save a new arena deck.

I'm also seeing this problem.

same here: "Couldn´t connect to server, please click 'back to menue' and try again"
I tried about 9 times so far ... and I really wanted to submit my new Plat Nr. 1 deck

So it's like this for everyone? Huh. Good thing I submitted a pretty good deck before this happened to me (watch as suddenly my arena deck gets 20 losses in a row).

Mine doesn't generate an error message. Instead it simply says that it's loading continuously and doesn't actually load it up.

You may want to try the method listed here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,36722.msg492459#msg492459).

Quickly rebuilding your deck? Nahhh, just open the highscore or something in another window/tab, reload if it doesn't load and once it does, come back to your flash-game and save the deck. That's the trick.

Really. The game should retry to connect after some timeout time all by itself. And this problem is all over the place... the arena is affected, the oracle, everything.

No wonder zanz doesn't show up anymore

Had this happen to me 4 times this morning and on the 5th try I built the deck as quick as I possibly could and it saved.
I had tried all other methods and none had worked...

Not sure where you get these recurring ideas. I talked to him just yesterday. You need to understand this is a hobby project and as such he'll take long breaks sometimes as he always has, but might work on it whenever. We're all used to it. I also had to edit your post because you're being pointlessly caustic.

As for this issue, I had to open, close and reopen a couple times, but it works. This isn't a trick most players know about though, which is evidenced by none of my decks getting a single play during the entire day of yesterday. As such I can agree it's a legit concern.

And you lie Zanz posted yesterday in forum

Sadly, the game does retry to connect, but it does not help much: the problem is not the game but the server. When a server gets busy, godaddy blocks connections from users that did not recently loaded a web page to reduce the server load. Loading data from an alternate server should work, but it will take me a while to fix this.
