Elements 1.4

[Marsu]

Some cards are just plain outclassed, and not redeemable by any meta shift. See cockatrice/giant frog, or phase salvager/ball lightning, as 2 examples that came right to my head. Meta-shifts will only make cards that at least occupy a niche become a centrepiece. But for niche-less, statwise-sucky cards, they are screwed up beyond all repair for normal battles.

Considering the fact that out of your two examples one is already totally off, I have to stick to my initial opinion of strong disagreement.

And the formula... well. It might be better approximation than the one in the bestiary at the moment, but the latter is just supposed to be a very rough starting point anyway. The problem lies in formula themselves, they can never be more than a starting point.

Have the AIs battle themselves to determine their level

Also, on Cockatrice/Giant Frog, Phase Salvager/Ball Lightning, what's the one thing he's wrong about? Not to say he's right or you're right, only that I lack understanding to determine which you were implying

I'm absolutely awestruck by all of the changes that are taking place.  I'm not entirely sure if I like all of the changes that are being made (then again I haven't really had the time to do more than read through ALL of this thread and fiddle with the trainer a bit yet), but I foresee this update being a vast improvement over 1.32 which is really all that matters to me.  I'm also very happy to see that you've managed to curb the sense of grinding without shifting to a god-awful energy system as someone else mentioned earlier. 

I look forward to experiencing 1.4 in its final form when its released; as much as I'd like to keep tabs on the project as it continues to grow to fruition, I have a feeling I'd get more of a new experience out of the update if I take it all in while being caught completely unawares.  I only hope that some kind soul will let me know when the update is released :P

Keep up the great work!

Hey will! When 1.4 will be out, will you come back again to the community?

[The_Mormegil]

This might make me come back and play some more. Keep up the good work, this is still one of my favorite games (although... a bit stale unfortunately).

I think something (obvious or not) hasn't been said officially:
There will still be synchronous PvP and PvP Duels, right?

zanz said somewhere in this thread that pvp and arena will remain the same 1.4 is only changing the asychronous ais

I've been messing about with this on the trainer...holy crap, this is cool!  I love the idea of progressive difficulty!  Plus, RPG=win!

[J6U]

:O Will the new 1.4 version have anything to do with this?

Marks will be upgradable several times when you have the required reputation with an element (Mark I to Mark X).
Each upgrade at the moment gives 5 extra HP's (to be balanced).
Upgraded marks can not be used in pvp.
