Elements 1.19

[Tea is good]

I still don't get it, we get to keep the cards/electrum the oracle gives us, but will it be reset when beta is done and real version is here? I like the idea of the pets

No, the beta saves to the actual database, so everything that happens is permanent.

thanks, zanzarino, keep up the good work

Thanks Zanzarino.

The Oracle is a nice addition. Slightly Alters the perceprtion of the game but is enjoyable. Since I've had access to 1.19 I've come home from work and hit the oracle and gone off to fight the False God with some preemptive changes if I'm warned of who the god is.

I like the Pet thing but for only one game means it isn't much. As an Idea could we have a slot to always have a pet and maybe a restriction such as if you lose or the pet is not in play at end of the match its lost otherwise it carries over to the next game? Maybe even allow you to commit a card from your collection that could be lost permanently to a pet slot?

Also forgot to ask. How did you align the elements with the astrological symbols?

Seems odd to me that Aries is Life.
Leonin is Fire and Sagitarius is Time seem fine tho.

Can't think of what Aries should be.
It is the Fire Sign and first of the Zodiac.
The God of war and Master of Mars. Aries is the Leader.

Leo is Courage and Sagitarius The Skill of Body.

I think that's a bit too powerful. Think about how many creatures would be abusive to this. Start the game with Anubis in a no-time deck, or start the game with a Nymph in play. Even most dragons are tough to deal with in the first few turns.

I'd guess there'd be limitations then. ie a cost of card payment to activate or delayed entry, or only vs AI.

[Terroking]

It's already vs. AI.

And Zanz, not sure if anyone else mentioned this- When you actually get to keep your card it says "This card is now your!"

Yeah, it should read "This card is now yours!" (emphasis added for clarity)

do we know what the probability of winning a card is? i'm zero for 10, 12, or however many days it has been since the oracle was implemented, so my impression is that it's fairly low?

[Delreich]

100% if it's a nymph, 10% otherwise.

[Cisco]

I have bad luck as well. Been told that there are a few players who have won up to 3 nymphs already.  From what Zanz said the average is around 2-3 nymphs a month per player.
