Elements 1.28x

[suxerz]

@wavedash: Yes, I'm excited about that too, but mind the language please ... 

Anyways, here are some edited chat conversation regarding the leader board (massive edit to avoid wall of text)
Looking forward to know more about the arena mods.

[12:51:24] jmdt: I spot a wild Zanzarino
[12:51:35] zanzarino: LoL
[12:51:40] zanzarino: Hi
[12:51:43] DesertKnight: Napalm he's behind you!
[12:51:50] Chromatophore:
[12:51:53] ~Napalm: Ack!
[12:51:53] MatrimKK: oh hi zanz
[12:51:57] zanzarino: Just uploaded 1.284: I added leaderboards
[12:51:57] Minor Vampire: Morning Zanz
[12:51:58] DesertKnight: *waves hello to zanzarino* Good day!
[12:51:58] ~Napalm: Zanz haz sneaked up on me
[12:52:03] ~Napalm: *hides!*
[12:52:11] zanzarino: In HTML, should be easier on the server
[12:52:11] DesertKnight: just like magic zanz! thank you
[12:52:32] DesertKnight: are you still on vacation zanz?
[12:52:41] zanzarino: Nope
[12:52:52] DesertKnight: lol welcome back then
[12:53:17] DesertKnight: Is this leader board like the one we had for score boards from mochi? or something like that?
[12:53:23] DesertKnight: or is this internal (reseting game)
[12:53:30] zanzarino: Similar
[12:53:42] zanzarino: But I made it (internal)
[12:53:50] DesertKnight: oh it's externally driven then?
[12:53:53] DesertKnight: oh oh..
[12:54:18] zanzarino: I'll be lurking in chat while i do the same for the kong version
[12:56:20] zanzarino: http://www.elementsthegame.com/arena.php?rank=250&league=3
[12:56:32] zanzarino: Position 250 needs to be close to zero rating
[12:56:42] Revoltion: Oh zanz. Do people who get the same oracle card as the day before have to keep their same deck?
[12:56:53] zanzarino: Yep they do
[12:57:31] Revoltion: Okays
[12:57:45] zanzarino: Otherwise it would an excuse to rejuvinate the very same deck
[12:57:55] zanzarino: would be*
[12:58:21] DesertKnight: zanz? may I suggest a "look up function" to the leader boards?
[12:58:30] DesertKnight: so I can search for my name or other rivals?
[12:58:39] jmdt: you loaded it on Kong yet Zanz?
[12:58:43] DesertKnight: it's rather diffuclt to figure out where I am exactly...
[12:58:56] zanzarino: Click on the leaderboard button close to your deck desert
[12:59:05] zanzarino: Not yet into kong... why?
[12:59:52] jmdt: I had it open on kong
[13:00:25] jmdt: I'll check the main site
[13:00:29] DesertKnight: oh wow thank you zanz, I had to close the othe rlink you gave me...
[13:02:27] jmdt: leaderboard is nice indeed
[13:13:11] zanzarino: Ok Kong done as well
[13:13:23] ~Napalm: Nice zanz
[13:13:35] zanzarino: Next step is going to be hiring arena moderators: I'll let Sg do that
[13:13:50] ~Napalm: moderators?
[13:13:55] willng3: Interesting.
[13:14:12] zanzarino: And I'll create a little interface for the moderators to flag decks in the arena that need to be removed
[13:14:20] Wardead: Arena Moderaters...for in game??
[13:14:34] zanzarino: Multiplayer=troubles=need moderators
[13:14:44] zanzarino: Mainly for the names
[13:14:56] willng3: Ah yes the names.
[13:15:23] kirchj33: hiring = money involved?
[13:15:42] zanzarino: I can not let racist/xenophobic names dwell in the arena
[13:16:16] willng3: Mmm indeed. I've seen some pretty offensive names. I'm liking this idea.
[13:16:24] zanzarino: Well... there is much worse than that
[13:17:12] zanzarino: I'll have to create a rule for how much "inappropriate" is too much
[13:17:19] MatrimKK: kirch I think this more or less be a thankless volunteer position
[13:17:41] DesertKnight: still, I'd be willing to do that
[13:17:53] Higurashi: lulz, money..
[13:17:57] zanzarino: Well you get benefits from the position
[13:18:03] zanzarino: You get to see the decks
[13:18:21] zanzarino: And you get to be the cool guy with the banhammer
[13:18:46] Chromatophore: we love you zanz

Hmmm,i missed the conversation by 10 minutes....

[G-man_103]

They should make it so that even players with higher scores can still enter decks into lower leagues, just with less points to spend of course.

[Jappert]

I'm loving the scoreboards! Thanks for that.

It's exactly the push I needed to start building decks for real and to keep on playing.

[parasite99]

Love the Leaderboards!!!
Thank you Zanzarino

[ndclub]

Well the leaderboards mostly confirmed my suspicion. Isnt it a little bad that fire marks seem to be dominating the arena? Through all my experience I basically go in expecting to fight fire at least half the time and make a deck specifically to beat it. Sadly it seems like the only wins I pull are when they seem to get bad draws or I get the perfect draw. I am not new by any means but doesnt anyone else think that fire was simply not designed with a 3 fire mark in mind?

[Atico]

All players knows that Fire and Entropy are the best Elements in game, much better than others. All You can do is... accept this...
In fact we have in Arena:
50% decks with growthing Lava Destroyers/Phoenix + Fire Lances + Explosions
20% decks with rush rainbow using 12 SuperNovas
10% decks with 12 Phase Shields and/or milion SoG (I found here a Master who has got PS and Protect Artifact  )
10% decks GoP and Nightmare every turn (yeah...)
And 10% other decks.

Every day we can see (on our decks) less games in Arena... Why? Because if You play for example      decks You have no chance (or very small chance) to win a card...

Totally disagred,simple more then 50% are fire stall's,it's anoying like hell,i fell i want to rush with immortall creatures and 6 mirror shields,simple i will have more changes to win then with a control rainbow.

I put it on one group

Yes,but that firestall uses(mostly)12 SoG's(some uses 12 SoG's and 12 sanctuaryes,not all playable,but anyway,this is not the right place for that.

So You don't totally disagreed, because we both think that fire is the most popular and powerful Element in game
You only disagree that rainbow decks are better to play against arena decks... But You see, the same situation is where You have for example mono Air or Time... With rainbow You have much better chance to win and all we knows about it. Show me mono/duo deck with          with the same win ratio as Rainbow decks in Arena.

[Essence]

I am so going to do my best to become an Arena moderator.  Hell yeah.

Dominated Platinum League for days with a Water deck (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,28144.msg390676#msg390676). I disagree.

Also, leaderboard just gave that little extra that makes you try harder. Great addition, Zanz.
