Yes, we had already established that some cards would need to be moved around. It was originally done as 1 ultra rare / 2 rare / 3 uncommons / 'rest' common. This was done evenly for all elements, but it was determined that some elements are just stronger (like fire).

So, let's put our heads together and see what we come up with for the balance.

Maybe we could use the war card prices sheet?

some synergybased cards (example sundial) and duoelement cards will perform poorer here than in a format in which you choose more or less specifically what cards you get. In general it should give a pretty good idea how big an impact a card has though, especially if its a card that works well in its own element in pretty much any deck (say devourer, rt, discord, lightning) or has an endless list of synergies (fractal).

Edit: I had listed BH as a card that will probably be rather meh, but thats actually wrong. For quite some time vulnerable trios and maybe bows will define the meta in which bh shines.

Redistributed the Rarities: (no longer are there 1 UR, 3 Rares, 5 Uncommon, (rest) Commons)

Commons: Will make up most of your deck early in the event. Eventually will become fodder to resell.
Uncommons: Will make up most of your deck in the starting from a few rounds in and will continue as such until the end of the event.
Rares: Solid cards that will improve the quality of your deck.
Ultra Rares - Game-changers. Many of these cards can singlehandedly win games.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Possible (additional) changes:
Moving more cards out of the commons section (Fire Spirit, Graviton Fire Eater, Ice Bolt, ....) to make the amount of commons be ~10 cards lower.
Move Seraphs and some dragons into rares. (Trying to make it bottom-heavy).
Essentially, it needs to feel like Rags at the beginning.. which is why a lot of

cards were moved out of commons.

Any thoughts?

I'd rather have nymphs just in nymph packs. Other than that, I have no objections. I would appreciate deck code format though.

Did even more shuffling of cards.
Can't change to deck code format at the moment.
Also, I don't really know why Nymphs would need their own special pack.

I was thinking of having nymphs in a special pack because originally they were lower rarity and almost all had the same rarity as well, making it really lame if you got one and couldn't make use of it. With the new list though, I suppose I'll drop that idea.

Also, any feedback on packs/sell prices and percentages?

I went really wild on these numbers, so let me know what you think:

Spoiler for Hidden:

Each pack has a range of return of approximately 80%-110%. Starters cost nothing and are only at the start of the event. Pillar packs can only every break even or have a small loss of electrum.

They're...interesting. Not sure if good or bad.

When is this going to run?

iancudorinmarian · « **Reply #129 on:** March 02, 2017, 07:43:03 pm »

[21:35:20] ‹kaempfer13› is majofas secondlast post the official state of card rarities?
[21:37:33] ‹kaempfer13› because right now a few elements have next to no card that can establish a reasonable win condition in the common/uncommons, making them unsuitable for starter packs

This is actually an issue I didn't notice.

In that case, I'll drop the "Starter packs have no duplicates" clause.

iancudorinmarian · « **Reply #130 on:** March 04, 2017, 03:41:47 pm »

Changes:

- Starter packs no longer have the "no duplicates" rule
- Removing additional chance of getting additional ultrarares from gold packs
- Shard sell price is 150

- Nymphs no longer have their own special pack
- Only Round 1 will have NPC matches
- W/L reward might need to be adjusted due to latest pack price changes

For those wondering what's going on with this, I don't really have the time right now to work on this. Three uni projects and exams coming in like a month, so I can't really invest time into this. During summer I will have an internship job, so I probably won't have that much time either. I'll probably work on it every now and then if I find the time. I promise that eventually I'll get this done, but don't expect it to be anytime soon. I apologize to those that were looking forward to this. #dontlosehope
