Patch Notes and Development News / Re: Elements 1.22

« on: May 02, 2010, 02:54:21 pm »

Why not instead of just saying that the graphic box needs changed, actually MAKE a new box and sumbit it to the forums. "Card Art"? Its Elements related, so it shouldnt go in the off topic art, but its not a card...

It's not card related, so Card Art would obviously be the wrong place for it. Game Suggestions and Feedback is were it should go.

Idk, but something that annoys me personally is people saying that something needs to look better, or somethigns overpowered, and not give ANY suggestions on how to fix it.

Being able to identify something that's wrong doesn't necessarily mean one can tell how to make it right.
All you can really demand of people is that they are constructive, i.e. actually give some details about how/why it's wrong rather than just stating that it is.

Forum News and Announcements / Re: Customizing forum look & layout

Forum currently uses GMT 0 timezone.

Nope, it's GMT +1 at the moment. GMT/UTC doesn't change for DST, it's our offsets that change.
Keeping the forum time at ±0 makes sense, as when (if) DST changes differs around the world.

Also, countdowns use forum time as base, so keeping it at GMT±0 would be better.

Does the time zone detection thing detect Daylight Saving Time? We're having that right now in Canada.

It does, but only when you manually use it to check.

It's a rush deck that can sometimes get EM, thanks to those Heals.

I'm not sure i see the point of the shields though.

Tutorials / Re: How to build a deck image using only deck import code (no screenshots needed)

« on: May 01, 2010, 09:00:20 pm »

You should only copy the code bit. Click on the [Select] thingy, copy the selected text and paste it in the import/export thingy. That'll take care of the cards (assuming you have them); the mark you'll have to change manually.

Rainbow Decks / Re: How to beat ALL the False Gods using the ULTIMATE False God killing deck

@Icy Shouldn't it be some kind of warning on the first page? I upped a lot of cards so I could use this just to find out later that it's not very good any more... Btw you rule

See that part were it says «  on: December 15, 2009, 23:09:33 » ? There's your warning.
When dealing with a changing environment, always check how fresh the information you're reading about it is.

Most (if not all) of the cards you upped are probably quite useful still, so no worries there.

It was just a misplaced comma, fixed now.

Game Suggestions and Feedback / Re: Alphabetized the cards?

« on: April 25, 2010, 07:16:13 pm »

[...] people look for cards based on their name.

Only people who know the name of the card they are looking for. By the time they know the name they've probably learned to recognize the top portion of the card anyway.

Sorting by category and strength/cost makes far more sense from a new player perspective.
If you know that pillars are first, you can find those easily for all elements even if you don't know the name.
If creatures are sorted by strength/cost, you know that the "better" more expensive ones come later on the list.

Im a FG
I have 50000 cards in my deck.
[...]
Now under these rules, I have to draw both cards at the same time, otherwise it doesnt help me at all.

Would you ever bet on that deck to win?

I would bet on it winning at least one game eventually, yes.

The skill of the Fire nymph (the upgraded), is called berserk, costs 4 fire quanta, and does absolutely nothing, except taking quanta.

In what situation? PvP? PvAI? When you use it? When the opponent uses it?

Finally, I have already wondered why there isn't such a thread yet ...

This thread actually existed before but was lost with the forum migration. Thanks to Icy for making it again

It's still around, actually. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,230.0.html
But lets let that one rest in piece and just use this one for now.

In-game Troubleshooting / Re: Can not connect to server, Please try later

« on: April 20, 2010, 12:22:24 pm »

It most likely has nothing to do with what browser you're using. You just lost connection with the server and when you retried in the other browser you got reconnected.

The trainer trick won't work for PvP, as PvP is on a different server. We now have a much better way to do these things though: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5551.0.html
