A few things.

Post by PennFifteen »

- I believe the match finding system in Quick Mode and Pro Mode needs to be loosened up a little bit.

Reason? Anytime my CAP is around 40 or over, I CAN NOT find a match or it takes a few minutes to do so. I am forced to use lesser cards to get a CAP of 25-35 to play Quick Mode. The Epics that I and everyone else have spent hundreds of dollars on, can almost not be used. We deserve the right to be able to use them in Gold Matches.

- Need ONE button to repeat deck and get back into same Que for battles. It takes 5 buttons and 3 different screens to do the same exact fight. It can be done with one button. Would help alot.

- Dead Horse Time. With all the money we spend, I believe the Ladder Battle rewards should be greater. I've spent hundreds of dollars and spent hours and hours playing Ladder Match. ( which I enjoy ) But getting 6th place and only 50 Diamonds is outrageous. Its borderline disrespectful. If you are going to do prizes you need to do it right and fair. It is a month long ladder and 4-10th place is really really good. 50 diamonds and 7000 gold is almost nothing. Especially compared to the length of the Ladder.

These prizes would be fair if the Ladder was a week long. Maybe shorten the Ladder Season and keep prizes or make prizes much greater. WE DESERVE IT.

Completely agree - someone else pointed out that just the gold missed out on by playing ladder matches also adds to the disincentive. If you won 200 matches that's 20,000 gold missed out on (not including the fact that ladder matches are harder to win than quick matches). If you ranked 10+ the reward is 25 diamonds and 6000 gold...

Like every other freemium game out there diamonds also need to be given out at every level up - this is also in ECB's interest as it gives players the experience of spending the currency, increasing the chance of spending real money on it. If this were implemented, all current levelled up players would of course need to be given a lump sum to be fair :)

I can't relate to the high CAP matchups unfortunately - I have only spent a modest amount on this game, but I do enjoy being pitted against you (Penfifteen) and other premium players! But yes I agree the matchup system does need to be tweaked for faster matchup times.

Well said.

I would probably have spent more time on ladder if the prize is better, but with all the time outs I have been getting :lol: plus the prize (or the lack of), it's really not that motivating.

Suggestion: As others have said it already, for the next Ladder season, please consider either:
1) Reducing the time frame of the competition (AND maybe add 1 extra time slot for competition per day) and/or
2) Add an extra "0" to the prizes. Honestly, I believe most of the top ranked players on ladder have spent a decent amount to be where they are, and quite frankly, the current prize sucks for a 1 month project.

Just my 2 cents.

So I guess now is about the middle of winter time in China as well. With Bluebear entering the stage I'm thinking that perhaps ECB or Momostorm is in hibernation too?

The site is still all about version 1.5, there haven't been any comments on suggestions like in this forum thread. There has only been a teaser about version 1.7, but no reply either on doubts about how usefull a new faction is, if it's for the sake of 'having a new faction' alone.

Perhaps just a message like.. "the game is not dead, I'm putting all my energy in developing the game, and my lack of comments is because I'm spending all my time trying to win ladder while in disguise" would be appreciated! Also the 'updates' in the 'notices' section I like, but again, more has to be happening?

The last part of what you said I totally agree with. I've been playing another mobile game called "Brave Frontier" which just came out recently and I love the customer support and development team. They always keep players up to date on updates and because of the explosion of players playing and downloading brave frontier as of late, their servers overloaded a couple times. Instead of keeping silent, they post on their facebook page to let the players know they are working on fixing the current problem and are pushing for more servers as well as moving up the date of their next patch to prevent these server overloads. The players always get compensated for these problems. Plus they actually take player's opinions on how to improve the game

Here in ECB I'd like to see the following:
1) Increase the rewards for ladder mode (Rewards must be justified for the length of the ladder season)
2) Give incentive for leveling up. Diamonds or rubies. Brave frontier is also a freemium game but you get gems for completing levels and ranking up in their pvp arena. But the difference here is that with 1 gem in "Brave frontier", you could buy tons of things while in ECB, 1 diamond won't get you anything. You need TONS of diamonds to get anything decent
3) Do something about the wait time for d3cks over 40 cap. It takes forever to find someone and most of the time, I end up playing against the same people. Why not just simply merge the players playing in practice and gold bet mode but only let the people gambling gold win/lose gold? Theres so many more players playing practice mode than gold bet mode

Well, just gotta say... I've never thought EBC to be asleep at the wheel. They do release a new version about every two months. I'm quite impressed by that, most games aren't that responsive about adding new content.

The only thing I really wish would happen is:

1) Communicate with us. The heads up you've given us here and there are nice and very refreshing. Honestly, I'd like more.
2) Listen to us. We aren't all shooting from the hip about things we don't know anything about. We aren't asking for handouts either. We are all here because we love the game and would just like to see it played more and fair.

What makes me sad is that I'm quite sure EBC will ignore this, or not take it to heart. :(

please at least execute the 1 button for replay with same deck function. This won't cost you any financial loss and will make many ppl happy

agree with everyone else on everything else
