Suggestion: Streamline battles
Posted: Sun Nov 24, 2013 2:43 pm
After every battle we are dumped back to the main menu. Please don't. Just take us back to 'Find Opponent' menu. I'm glad you have the "repeat" button when selecting cards, but if you had them pre-populated from the fight before, that would be totally awesome! If we want to change them up, then we can, but more than half the time I usually want to go with the same strategy anyway.
In fact, when we are at the main menu and click on on Matches, it takes us to our history of matches. I'd rather it just go to the "find Opponent" screen from there. There's room on the screen (under selecting how many coins to bet maybe) for us to click and see our fight history. I'm more interested in fighting, not reviewing past fights.
I have the option to bet 100, 300, 600, or 1000 gold, but nobody ever bets 600 or 1000 gold because I think everybody has the problem of never finding an opponent in those ranges. Can you do something to encourage the higher betting? Maybe offer more experience points? Or maybe even allow us to bet in more than one category. If I select all four, it will look for somebody in the 1,000 range, then work its way down. If other people are doing that too, then more 1,000 gold bets will take place. Now I just bet 1,000, give up after a minute, then bet 600, give up after a minute, then 300. Sometimes I get lucky and fight somebody there, but usually I have to work my way down to 100 in order to find an opponent. Sadly, I've now wasted over 3 minutes of time, when I could have used that time fighting a battle. I think others have experienced this frustration, which is why 600 and 1000 gold fights never happen. Anyway, just some suggestions to make them happen.
Above I had suggested pre-populating the deck with the prior deck setup. Now that I look closer, if you shift the "Select Cards" button up a notch, you could fit a "repeat" button underneath it, then we don't have to go into that menu to hit repeat, thus removing a step!!
Hey, since the outcome of fights are already predetermined as soon as you get into it, could you please give us the option to auto-start fights, instead of having to push the button. If I'm interested in what cards they have, I can investigate it during the battle. It isn't like anything I can do at that point can shift the outcome of the battle, so we might as well get it underway.
This might be wishful thinking, but if there would be a way to speed up the animations so fights end faster, I'd love that too. You do have the option to turn off "Activation Zoom In Effect", and that helps tremendously. For that, THANK YOU!!
Just some thoughts! I'm an impatient son-of-a-gun, I know, I know.
