Interesting but I doubt it works, since my shields expire after 3 turns anyway. Unless the 'enchant' card makes it permanent, which is strange but worth a try

The problem is that enchant artifact only lasts for the lifetime of your shield (3 turns max) and doesn't stay when you play a new shield. While being able to enchant your shield at a crucial juncture would be a nice perk, I doubt it would be worth diluting your deck and depriving yourself of quanta from mark of aether. It could be more useful against Seism since you'd only have to protect your stack of pillars once (twice if you have mixed pillars/towers), but on the other hand losing mark of aether hurts a lot unless you manage to draw enchant artifact right away.
That's one opinion. Personally I rather like the diversity in elements as it helps distinguish this game from other similar TCG types; most of the elements are too limited at present to really be competitive as mono-color decks, sure, but the game as a whole seems to heavily lean more towards combinations of elements. Bear in mind too that it's still a work in progress and that there are going to be more cards coming.
What is the deck you are talking about cisco?
Found a bug.
Heal and Miracle don't reflect off of Emerald Shield (Spells are reflected to your opponent)
Holy light works correctly though.
All cards can now be sold for more than before. The larger the original price, the larger the rise in price. This makes god farming much more profitable.
Bug? Putting it on both forums reguardless. If you freeze one scarab and you have 5 more in play none of them attack on the following turn as if they were all frozen.
Something is missing in the Sundeal cardtext too:
Your creatures are stopped for 2 turns, the enemy only for 1.
And momentum is able to bypass the stasis.
Both things cant be noticed from the cardtext.
The new time scarab card needs a upgrade.
Only 1 increase in hp for each card is too low, to e at least equal to otyugh 3 cards should be dropped at the same time.
Is it just me or does everyone cheat at this game?
I played like a dozen pvp games today and 90% of the time when I started winning my opponent would start drawing 3 cards per turn, healing to full health, dropping untargetable cards and/or playing things without paying for them.
Although I still won most of the games (because my deck is that good, not because im cheating like that), even though i know the game glitches sometimes all the weird things that happened were in favor of my opponents, late in the game, when they were losing.
The top 7 all time high scores are obviously hacked in as well.
Would it be possible to implement some kind of simple encryption for messages, or a validity check of actions sent to server, or even just a hash function appended to messages sent dependent on other variables like current amount of quanta, health, round, cards in deck, other cards in hand etc.
Ok, made a mistake with Sundeal there. Momentum dont surpass it, that was a weapon.
But it still blockes 2 of your attacks and 1 of your opponents.
Sweet! Won a Shard of Divinity :)
Still no Discord tough :(
Two things...
One that might not necessarily be a bug - a lobotomizer showed up in a level 1 AI deck.
And one that's pretty definitely a bug - Holy Light has a serious targetting issue. If used just right, it heals all your hit points, even better than Miracle does for 1/15th the cost. I bumped into this during a lag pocket, blinked at two +5 messages rising. Tested it the next time the card showed up, got the same. Then late in my next match, I tried it with only a few HP left and got a full heal. Not. Good.
You most likely played someone using a rainbow(quantum pillar) / hourglass deck. They don't do well in the beginning but once they get enough hour glasses up, they will overwhelm you with the amount of cards they can play.
As for cheating, I think anyone with enough effort could do what he wanted to with the game. The player's deck/score is stored client side, and then submitted to the server after playing a game/buying cards, or when he reconnects.
Unless he has some kind of validation (like comparing the submitted deck with the stored one, did he add 10 rare cards in one submit? win 1000 games?) to the stuff being submitted, one could easily just alter the data being sent to his server.
Dunno how much the security issues have been discussed here.
Update on the Holy Light bug - when used, it bugs at least one (sometimes several) of the cards in your hand, makng them invisible and unselectable. Except when you have to discard for having 8 cards in your hand (including them), when they become visible as empty outlines with a cost of 3 nothing quantums.
I just found out that the upgraded form of spark is ball lighning. I really enjoy the reference to magic.
I'm having a lot of connection problems today- saving my game flashes disconnected often and I have to click a dozen or so times to get it to work.
@marauder68 - Hello. The same thing happens to me often, but I never noticed it as being a problem. Have you found that your stats are being rolled back showing that your progress hasn't been saved?
hi.. i was thinking.. do u detect all those who hacks in this game?? coz im a bit dissapointed... so many cheaters and hackers.. thats all.. can u plz do something about dat? thx alot.. i really enjoy playing your game .. i play almost 15hours a day. lol its quite addicting and i got my friends hooked up in this game too...
It's a flash game, and they are NOT secure, so there's bound to be a few hackers, but are you sure it's been hacked every time? Some times PvP desynchronises amd causes odd things to happen.
By the way : Dedicated forum at
http://www.elementstheforum.smfforfree3.com
It's a lot more active than this single thread now - come on over!
Hotmail causes issues registering, but register with it anyway if you have no other adress, and I'll manually activate you.
I played against a guy called "waco" in the pvp and he was cheating a lot. He has a mono-aether: miracled himself and recovered his hp, but he has only aether cards. He also has an immaterial lycanthrope (no mutation). How is possible? It's not fair!
Sorry, i didn't read the previous posts. Maybe was only a bug and waco wasn't cheating. If it was a bug, I apogolize.
Hi,
I love the game and want to get in on the hot forum action but the confirmation email seems to be broken.
Things I have tried:
Resend confirmation email. 5+ times
Verify correct email more than once.
Resend confirmation email a few more times.
Wait a few days
Resend confirmation email a few times.
Start a new account with a different email.
Resend confirmation email a few times.
Wait a few days
resend...
It's just not coming and I quadruple checked the email was correct.
Please fix.
Dear Zanzarino,
I wanted to say what a great game you've made. So good, in fact, that I deleted my account ... it was either that or do not so well at uni over the next couple of months. I won all the basic rares, beat a False God and worked out that I loved the randomness of the QP/ Fallen Druid/ FFQ deck with a few bonus cards thrown in.
Congratulations, dude. You've got a talent for game design.
Found a quite annoying bug for a time user. While with all targetted skills there is the option to cancel, with Anubis when you click cancel it subtracts the 2 aether charge from your quantum and you are unable to use the skill again that round whilst still having no effect.
I am not sure if this also applies to the upgraded anubis.
You can activate spell cards and then cancel and get both card and quantum back, but not creature abilities.
Can't login to the game. The initial screen comes up, but hangs after entering your username and password. The trainer works, however.
A PUBLIC APOLOGY
I messed up. The forums were a good idea, but not with me as admin. They are now closed. I'm sorry that they only lasted for a few weeks. I'm sure most people from them can guess what one of the major reasons for me closing them was - please don't say what it was. I just hope that warr doesn't break out because I have closed them. The other reason is, as people may or may not know, I simply don't have time. I though that I would when I set them up, but I didn't. I should have said that they were in a precarious position at the outset. Do not try to change my mind, it is made up. I may start a new one at a (much) later date. If anyone wants to start one of their own, please don't let me stop you. I will probably be in chat from time to time, but not very often.
Again, I apologise. (hangs head in shame)
It's alright Pichard. As much as I disagree with your decision, I understand your reasons. Hopefully, we can get new forums set up, as I really enjoyed the community and those forums were sort of my main reason for playing the game as long as I did. >.<"
I know you won't change your mind, but I still suggest that next time, if you DO decide to open a forum, that you appoint some mods quickly. I don't think that the problem was nearly as drastic as it seemed, as once it left, the rest of us (most of us, I guess), resumed as usual.
I'd be thrilled if you reconsidered, as would many others, but it's still your decision to make. =/
Can you open it back up as read-only? There were a lot of good threads in there.
Dont give up Pilchard123.
The forum is a great source to build the elements comunity.
If you have no time, let someone do it. There is a lot of people that can help with that.
I (Nihilus) put myself at disposition and i'm sure there are others, like ScaredGirl, Cisco, Mr. Jellyfish, etc that can help you admin that.
Give us a chance man, if you still dont liking the results, you just close the forum again.
Dont let the spammers win this war.
Tks
Nihilus
Pilchard,
No need to apologize. We owe you a big thanks for putting your own free time into something that benefited us all. I wish there were more people like you in the world, voluntary work towards a community is a noble thing, even if its a "virtual" community like this one. Your efforts allowed people to get together, exchange information, make friends, have fun, and for that we really have to thank you.
As for the forum itself, if you wish there are many people who would gladly volunteer to keep it up, I'm sure, both as administrators and moderators. If that forum cost you money, maybe that can be arranged too -- who knows if someone is willing to pay for it?
I ask you please, don't abandon your legacy. Let us continue your exceptional job, alright? :D
Cheers,
-- brain9h
@ Pilchard-
We all do appreciate the time and effort you put into the forum. But the fact remains- the community needs a forum. Can you at least pass off the administration to somebody else? Or at least assign a couple moderators?
thanks for the work on the forum Pilchard123!
I hope you will at least open them up as read only for now, there is some great info there :)
I would actually suggest that you just simplify the forum, then re-open it. The more Categories you add, the harder it is to moderate the board. So combine alot of those categories into one common one.
Or pass the administration onto someone else. im sure there is a decent player out there with the time.
:cheers:
