Time for some feedback on what we currently have as Card Customization.
The good parts:
I like how the basics of the CC system have been set up. You basically have a big card pool or I like to call it a stash where you get to see all your cards you have unlocked. You can then choose 5 cards that function like a mini deck for whatever char you equip. So with the standard deck of whatever soul you use, you get these cards as well. Simple, smart and easy to understand!
I`m guessing when other elemental card series will be released, you will be able to click on the arrows on the left so you can scroll between different elements for easy card customization of whatever char you have equipped.
the standard damage cards you unlock via gold or SG purchase net you a bit more power since instead of a standard 500 dmg card you can have a 525 dmg card. Very nice! Not too little and not to much power to make things imbalanced!
Awesome and unique artwork. Because eye candy is always welcomed! :D
The parts I wish and feel should be improved on by the dev team:
The most important bit: we need true card customization as in being able to take out/discard cards from the standard creature decks so we can use more of our customization cards (btw Nulgath stated on twitter that he wants this to happen even if it`s difficult to code). Just being able to add cards to your current creature deck isn`t improving things in the desired way, at least for me.
The standard decks on plenty of creatures be they free chars, SG chars, vet, master or Legendary aren`t always optimal or built in such a way for the cards to synergize and work well with one another. You either have to discard too many cards that you don`t have a use for or you keep getting cards that do low dmg and you end up wasting charges. Now this isn`t such a bad thing because Card Customization can come in and save the day. ;-)
The second most important part: CC pack pricing and getting a bang for your buck! This i feel, needs to be revised and improved from how it currently stands. The dev team is awesome and took notice of the players opinions stating that 30k gold per pack was really expensive so they cut that price in half. 15K gold per pack isn`t that expensive. With a lvl 20 char and some dedication you can farm gold for five or six packs without too much trouble. Or you can spend 5 bucks and buy 5 SG packs.
But what is important here is what you are getting for your money or your free time spend on gold farming. Currently i would have to say that what you are getting for either option isn`t enough...especially if you are using SGs. Now before you think of me as a greedy guy (:P), I should tell you what I got from 4 SG packs: 1x101 dmg card, 3xPierce(101) cards, 8x204 dmg cards, 4xDefend(515) cards, 1xFrostbite, 2xIce Orb, 1xShatter. I probably had really bad luck and the RNG was probably hating me at the time, but since I used SGs, I wish the chance of me getting better cards was increased. I`m actually really bummed out with what I got for SGs. I also spent my last 60K gold and got another 12x204 dmg cards, 3xDefend(515) cards, 2x515dmg cards and a couple of Ice Orbs.
The amount of simple, low dmg and undesirable cards is just too high to make me spend any more SGs for Card Customization...until and if the drop formula is revised. I love OS and will continue to support it by buying SGs for char evos and boosts, but not for Card Customization.
I would also venture to state that even the chance to get special cards by spending gold should be revised because I could potentially see people spending large amounts of hard earned gold and not getting satisfactory cards for that. It`s a matter of chance and the RNG being in a good mood, and we know that one is almost never in a good mood. :P
That`s about it for now. To conclude, very nice system you set up for CC! Impressive in looks, coding and functionality and with a lot of potential to make the game even more fun, but I hope things are not set in stone and the randomness of the card drops is revised to reward more the paying customers but also the gold grinders.
Oh yeah, sorry for the wall of text. I went a bit mental with my words. XD
