1.9 impressions

Post by Goce »

Hello guys, hello ecb

I will write the main things that were changed and will comment something about them.
I will go step by step. Let's start !


Campaign:

Good job ECB! You have added more cards there as a rewards. 5 new quest that need to be played at least 3 times each. Thumbs up for a new design. I have nothing bad to tell about this point. Keep working on quests, we want them more and more. So one more time, good job!


My Cards: Everything same there. It is ok for now.


Rewards: There are new DAILY LOGIN rewards. They are pretty good. All we can get there in one month are: 25 diamonds, 15 000 coins, 1500 rubies, 1 diamond card and 2 legendary cards. Can't say a bad word for these rewards. But I have a question, so please answer to me. What if we get some rewards 1 day later (we got busy or smt), the counter for the next reward will start then? Plus, can we take all that rewards in 2 months let we say? What if 30 days pass and we don't get all the rewards? Do they left there for us to take them in the next days or there would be a new rewards? As I can see, the rewards are individual. The timer for the second reward has started in different time for everyone. Must the players log in every day to get the next reward or they can miss any day and after that they continue at the same point?


Matches:

Coins bet pro mode now needs 15 energy instead of 20.
Cards loot needs 50 energy.
Ladder has the Energy Boost optional (40 energy for pro, 80 energy for hardcore mode)


Enhance: Same here.



Shop: I saw there in the diamond shop that there is NO MORE BONUS. There are written higher numbers than diamond packs contain. So my question is: Large chest of diamonds contains 1000 or 1200 diamonds? Chest contains 575 or 500 diamonds? Etc...

About card packs, the new pack was removed. All of the players have to spend their coins for lucky stars. Do you know what did we get? Nothing but a silver and some golden cards. Personally, I bought 18 packs and got only 3 diamond cards that I already have. No new card even golden one. About legendary...I don't even have a hope for it. You decreased the number of cards also in the diamond card packs. That is bad. The game goes really expensive.

About items, everything same there I think. I think boots of speed was about 1600 coins and now its 4950 but that is ok. Anyway, we don't have where to use the coins. Portrait - cheaper than previous. VIP - counter added.


Library - card list added - that is a great stuff. All of the players can see all of the old and NEW cards. Just to know, special event cards are not listed there.


So ECB, this is my point of view about this version. Disappointed from card getting chance, happy because of the new rewards. Just please, answer to my questions about log in rewards. Explain more about them.


Best regards

Very good impressions so far nice job ecb. Every change made seems like it revolved around feedback from the forums etc. many cards were nerfed but are still strong and for most part more balanced. Glad to see these changes they will definitely be much better incentive for new players with daily login rewards with more chance to get legends, diamonds, rubies, and gold. Thumbs up to you. Hoping for more cards in future updates and more campaigns.

Well put!
Thanks for the summary

Just want to say thanks ecb for listening to suggestions on forum
Sucks a bit that no more chances for epic in gold packs.

Noticed a slight lag on some loading screens. Also game crashes again on note2. (only once yet though) Not sure about the other devices.

Pls check ultimate seal I'm not sure if it misses triggers in hard-core. But I'm pretty sure it did vs red dragon.

Overall the game seems pretty balanced.

Keep up the good work!

Daily Login rewards are great. Now i will finally get my first 4star card ;)

Sad to see 10000credit Card Pack is not there any more.

Limit of 3 same cards per deck is new rule?
6xCyclops was nice deck.
So i can now sell for rubies all my extra cards?

I noticed Skeleton Archer got new "skill". Before it was 50% chance to revive if killed by Melee.
Is there some list with all the changes?

I noticed that too. Bought couple of Lucky Stars Pack. Less then 10% was gold cards, all silver, no diamond.
Before i got every 4-5 Packs at least one diamond card.
New player, never had enough credit to try 10000cr Pack.
Finally i have one "good" deck to play Bet Coin 100cr matches. Win Ratio around 70-80%.
Collecting cr slow for new Packs, but now seems pointless.

First diamonds i want to invest to raise VIP level till 3.

Dominating pack looks nice. But at this pace i need 4 months for 1 Pack :roll:
Less if i play Ladder matches, but with my cards that looks silly.

I tried just to see what decks are there.
My first match he/she had Epic and Legend cards. It was like David and Goliath. And i was David, but in the wheel chair, blind and with only one Rock :D
So Ladder is no go until i have at least few Legend Cards.
I will see with these LC Cards from Daily Login to build some decks and try my luck.

But for now it will be long, long road :geek:

Likes: new reward schemes implemented, blade shield reintroduced, energy = extra DP option on ladder matches

Dislike: 10,000 pack vanished, trigger are not working correcly on HC Ladder.

ECB_Admin - this update is fantastic it really is, you have shown respect and interest in the community and I commend you for that, the cards are updated correctly and you have made minor adjustments that have really made the game experience MUCH better.

The new reward system in place... wow what a great move, I can imagine you have made alot of new players and old alike very happy, what an excellent incentive to play more. Excellent stuff. A gem per day for playing the ladder is also excellent idea.

This game goeas from strength to strength... I was starting to lose interest 2 months ago but I am absolutely addicted again.

Thank you so much for listening and your hard work!!! Go ECB!

Hi mirkotaur, don't get too disparaged. I used to be free player and ranked 50. It can be done you came beat epic and legend cards with less but you are going to have to outwit opponent and get lucky. Most new players are having more luck in hardcore mode where the element of surprise can turn a battle. Many top players won't play there the last few days of ladder bc the risk of losing is high and the DP loss for a top player is astronomical. Playing ladder is good idea to boost skills vs more experienced players. Experience is more than 50% of this game and knowing situationally what to do. Also there is a diamond card reward for top 300 or 400 finishers or so you should at least try for that. Ecb tends to pair up people with similar ranks but from time to time you will match up against a top player. Sometimes you will match up against someone with less than you too though.

Bit this is what we hear in chat and forum all the time ecb. I encourage you to join palringo chat and talk with other players who can help your ladder game out there is a lot of top players and new players willing to share. Also ecb consider extending purple card reward for adder. Currently only top 20 are rewarded and top free player in league is finishing just outside that range meaning it's all pay players scooping up good cards.

Ya, that's right. The players that got more than 10 epic cards get the legendary rewards. The guys that play well too and don't have epic cards can't even get that legendary card as a reward. So, the point is that guys that don't need that legendary cards take them and get stronger and stronger. The weaker players have no chance against them and they give up easily. The new rewards are a good motivation for them, but there can be some modifications in ladder rewards too.

I hope you are aware that Trigger cards do not work in Hardcore mode when a new deck comes in. Almost makes triggers useless until last deck.

About Ladder rewards: Maybe after top 20, give a few legendary cards out randomly per group. As in 21-30, 31-40, 41-50 and especially into 100-200 group. Maybe 2 per player in the 30-40/40-50 groups. Maybe 10 out randomly to the 100-200 and so on. Just something to help the lower guys out a bit.

Newer guys stay and play, pay players stay and play because game grows. Everyone wins.

We love your game ECB. And so far I think you are going in the right direction. You listen to us and try to improve game.

I just ask for one thing. Do something great that helps players out big time. A win/win for players. You give out daily rewards but now everything costs more. DP boost with energy is optional in Ladder (good job) but now Ladder requires energy to even play...Things like this always seem to happen. Just make a change that helps out players completely.
