A few details about T500

[The_Mormegil]

I also don't like buffing yourself that much because that's like playing the main character of a puzzle platformer and then, on the last level, giving your character the ability to fly and phase through walls. The reason it's difficult to play against them is because they're buffed up and we're still...normal. Both players having 200 HP and 20 attack is not a more "epic" match than both players having 100 HP and 10 attack.

But, the deckbuilding would be completely different.

I'm just slightly confused about where the fun is going to go. I get that PvP is still there (though it will be different) and the Top 500 will give a new expansion to the game, the FG will be boring. FGs are only fun because you are weaker then them. If you become a FG, then shouldn't there also be something above the FG. I for one would love to see a L7/8 with more HP, maybe a little smarter (come on, I haven't used that hourglass all game FG), more cards, better cards. Just something to make the game have some sort of challenge. FG used to be hard but if you are  equal to it, FGs will cease to be a difficulty. And playing T500 isn't the same as playing set decks.

You misunderstand the system: You will not be able to have 3x mark, 2x card/draw, 200 HP, etc. Only the deck you put up in the t500 will have those attributes.

@manstrong: The tangent we were going on was only for the decks we would bring against t500.

The point is just that trying to beat the following deck (add any 5 cards in there, it doesn't really matter, at worse you should change mark accordingly) is about as uneven and frustrating as it gets. It's just Rainbow copypasted, it's rather suboptimal and believe me I created far worse and I'm level 60.

Very Exciting!

When you submit a new deck, does it erase your old one or get added to the mix? It's cool to think that a superior deck builder could have several (or more than several) powerful T500 decks at play. I like the idea of decks bleeding off HP's, but should it be based on the user's login, or actual battle results?

Great work! I won't ask when it will be ready because I know I won't get an answer, but I'm very excited! This will certainly rejuvenate my Elements Addiction!

Don't ofrget that you can add 6 SoGs and SoDs to the mix...

Oh, there's no doubt that Platinum League and even Gold League will probably be tougher fights than FGs -- I'm just saying so long as we make the rewards commensurate with the risks, that's a GOOD THING.

[manstrong]

I have 2 quick questions:
1) How many people play Elements and how many total would be registered for each category? (As in out of 1,000 Bronze level people, 50% get in)
2) Can I play people in different divisions then myself? I am at the very bottom of Gold (I think about level 43) so do I just play Gold members and not have the opportunity to play other groups?
Make it 3) What about T50(0) farming? A lot of my rares come from T50, so do I need to hurry up and get 12 of each now?

I don't really see the need for a level of play that's significantly tougher than FGs. It's not generally fun  to lose a whole lot, and it seems to me that people attempting to play the platinum league will be achieving extremely low win percentages, perhaps 10-20%.

1 submitted deck per player, 1 submission per day.
Your deck is in the league until it drops out or you submit another one.

Cannot link the source but I think theese are Zanz's statements.

It will be something we have to see, due to the fact that fg decks dont  "drop out" after beaten, and since there is a large amount of players that will be playing it, the hard decks will eventually get beaten. Besides, not everyone will know how to make an insanely powerful "FG Deck"
