Elements 1.25

what are you guys talking about? 50HP is still huge imo
how many damage spell can take out a 50HP flying titan? its not a big nerf like sundial

Titan's Hp is not about surviving CC, its is for use in conjunction with gravity pull to give you more hp.  Sadly this nerf severly hurts the flying titan deck, arguably the best mono gravity deck one can make.

Nerfing Titan to make room for Chimera is a net negative for mono gravity, as Chimera is a very situational card that will end up more useful in rainbows than anything.  If Titan is a problem just lower Chimera's max stats, don't nerf Titan.

If you played a classic flying titan, you know the difference when it is with gravity pull. 20HP means one B.Blood and can absorb damage for 1-2 more turns.

....per titan!

Woooh
Ouch titan & puffer
SoG's are perfect
Aside from that, this upgrade will be huge!! i'm somewhat too impatient @0@

Zanz has added some detail to Balances and Fixes in the first post.

Quite great overall.
The new Pendulums and Mind Gate are awesome and quite game changing.

My only objection is to the pufferfish with its 3 attack.
Can you detail what your reasoning for this change was?
I am confused at this change and the purpose it serves except to push its power level above the curve.
(if it is stated somewhere else can someone point it out to me?)

Thanks for spending the time on the game we enjoy Zanz.

Zanz doesn't have to explain his actions to us mortals. Would you ask God why he made trees?

I'm sure there is a reason, and if it turns out to be a disaster, it can always be reverted. Until then..

Go Puffer Fish!

I understand if it was never answered.
It is like those that pray to god, if he has the time or sees fit to answer he does.
If not, life goes on and the question remains unanswered.

Yes, but those who pray, usually do so privately by themselves. You on the other hand called out Zanz by asking this question publicly. You are basically saying:

"Zanz, I don't agree with this buff. Explain to me why you did it."

I find it to be a bit disrespectful because you are "forcing" him to reply. Giving feedback is of course very important, but please start a new topic about it. Demanding explanations is not cool when you are not really entitled to them in the first place (remember, this is a free game).

If game developers of free flash games were forced to explain all their actions to random people on the internet, they would waste huge amounts of their time and no games would ever be finished.

I spend a lot of time on Kongregate and developers seem to get asked questions and are given feedback and sometimes they respond sometimes they don't. There is no obligation for the developer to do so, but without us the consumer asking, how can they know that we'd like to know or how we feel?

Lets not take this any further.

I also don't like the puffer fish buff.  I think the nightfall buff will also hurt.  Those two buffs will hurt some decks vs. false gods a lot.

[Demagog]

Kael, I'm quite certain the pufferfish was buffed due to the new scorpion cards. The life version has half the attack as the old puffer, but cost less than half to play. So buffing puffer was necessary for balance.

The Nightfall / Eclipse change makes them work how they are supposed to work. There was problems where adding and removing Eclipse left creatures with the wrong values.
