Epic Cards Battle

So after a week of the new update I happy to report that at least to me and a few people I talked to the 24 hour ladder period is a great success. I found that waiting for matches was a few seconds longer but the matches were varied quite a bit. Some matches I felt I matched up more with newer players and free players was an unfair matchup so if love to hear what they thought. I played enough of these guys that I feel they probably got to play against each other a lot as well balancing them out.

I'm regards to gold I feel something needs to be done here. I found myself playing quite a lot of games this season with very little gold to show for it so I can only imagine a free player or new player to the game would struggle even more to get gold. So here are a list of suggestions:

1. First the new play rewards system is fine. It actually encourages more play which means more people in ladder and better matchups. However the bar for me goes up to 450 gold and with my vip I can get 1960 a day or something. It's pretty impossible to get that full gold as I would have to play four separate times of the day approximately 5 matches. This can be fixed easily. Simply allow the bar to fill all the way up to 1960 in my case then I am encouraged to play 19-20 games in one sitting or break that into two sittings. This is more realistic. If you are not realistic your players will be overworked and burn out and quit or they will feel cheated they are not getting the gold they got before. 1900 gold is not much, it cannot even buy a lucky stars pack and lower vip get even less.

2. Find a way to give gold in ladder matches. 50-100 for a win and lose nothing for a loss. This will encourage even more ladder play. If you're worried about over farming for some random reason then cap the amount of gold you can get this way at some numer like 2000, 3000, or 5000 gold per day as well. This can also be vip dependent can give a larger per day cap.

3. Of course if you can find a way to give coins away in ladder, especially penalty free, then coin bet pro mode can potentially be eliminated and even more will play ladder with even better matchups for low rank players who can earn coins penalty free and get rank. Of course playing matches penalty free means gold is always being gained in the positive direction which benefits the newer or free playe just starting who is afraid of betting or can't cover their losses there.

4. If none of the above can be done, which hopefully is not the case, then consider doubling each daily reward milestone. For example double the reward when you reach 5 and 10 ladders. That would make the grind twice as better as it is now. And that is considering that the grind is probably five times as worse as it was before.

5. Introduce some othe game functions or modes to win coins by. Although true that guilds is one new function to get gold I would consider drastically increasing the amount of gold to be won here possibly by a factor of ten!! Rubies can stay put. A 20th ranked guild will split 2500 gold amongst about 10 players so will get 250 coins each and as we know that cannot even buy one silver card. The 1500 rubies however is nice at about 150 per person. Gold is very important it is the only way to get diamond card is to buy lucky stars packs. The new complaint for free players and new will not be that they can't get legend cards but they can't even get diamond cards. Of course other modes too can be introduced like guild wars, raid, boss, daily campaign, etc. you need to come up with some change to the system tho to where people can get gold on at least equal or better footing than before.

Well that is all for now. If anyone else has anything to add please do.

i agree that the new ladder is better and that everybody needs more access to gold. Guild shold give more money AND rubie or it will not help keep people motivated in Guild play

Does momo have any new insight to gold in v2.3 that can be shared at this time. Perhaps gold for ladder victories to encourage even more ladder which to me has already been very successful since v2.2. Maybe some other game features planned that will enable more gold for the free players?

Although ladder seems to have more overall players it does feel like the overall players online at anytime hS dropped from about 450 to 350 hinting at the possibility thT some free players who were grinding gold before have given up but may come back in the next update if the situation improves.
