Unlocking Card Issue

[vidgme1]

I am growing very tired of continually spending over 20 minutes sorting out and re-protecting all my cards.

Thrice in the last 30 days I have gone to sell from a full rack only to realize I had rare cards mixed in.

The first couple times I lost a 6 star and two 5 star cards, that I realized I had lost. First time was like 4am and I was mentally deficient so it took a bit before I noticed. Figured it was fluke. Now has happened at least 9 times in under 90 days.

The sort by "protected" goes awry and instead of junk donor cards at end of the queue it's all mixed.

Either this bug gets fixed or PM should add a protect/unprotected all feature!

I know I'll never get back lost cards but time and sanity for ultimate piece of mind are worth the losses.

PS: Why is there no sort by NAME? It would make upgrade so much easier!

PSS: Why 5/16/21 coin options? Why can't I choose amount from 1 to 21 anywhere therein?

PSSS: Why do I have to FORFEIT lightning bolts? Why when I buy more do those I had left over get lost? If I had 9 left and bought in for 100 more I would end up with 100. 9+100=100?. The prev bal is lost to the wind. Any real world gaming system doing that would garner backlash from he11! Because it's a PAY TO PLAY system this should be considered for its legality!

Hi vidgame1. The protected status is stored on your device instead on the server, so if you transfer the account or uninstall the game, you would need to reprotect your cards. We are looking to improve this in the future.

You cannot sort by name, as most players don't remember cards by name but will be able to find them by rarity, element, etc.

The present line bet is there because that's how the game works.

I assume lightning bolt means energy. It actually works exactly as you describe. If you have 9 energy and max of 100, you do a 50 energy dungeon and spend a potion, you should be left with 59 energy points.

It occurs randomly. Might be due to the battery conditioning software (I have since deleted).

As for BY NAME you should have it as an option for those of us who choose to remember the names of our cards!

Look closer, if you use 10 gems to boost your energy (yes, lightning bolts, the symbol you use) you are deprived of the excess energy that exceeds your "limit". The limit causes the problem. You can get more CARDS than your limit then need to sell but you cannot have ENERGY above your limit. They are confiscated, eliminated, stolen...whatever you want to call it.

I paid for that energy with REAL CASH so I feel ripped when I have those excess energy points lost to the wind. If you have a max of 101 and you have 10 in hand but need 12 to play a level you must buy more. When you buy more you get the MAX of 101 but the prior 10 do not remain. If they did you would have 111, above the limit. I realize the "LIMIT", but that allows the system to "cheat" me out of energy.

If I went to a Casino and put $1 in and played down from $1 to 20 cents on a 25c machine (that had a $1 maximum) and it WIPED away the 20c I had left when I put in the next dollar I would cry foul. This is a real-world comparison.

You cannot steal from your clientel, which is actually what happens here. I think it's just an overlooked thing, not intentional, but it is FUNDAMENTALLY UNFAIR. This game really does fall in the fringe of legality for it's "gambling" aspect. Since there are reel spins and cash changing hands it CAN be considered online gaming. I am just advising you that there is the real possibility of legal action should someone REALLY get peeved.

I've paid Playmage nearly TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS over the life of this game. I have enjoyed the game and keep paying in because I ENJOY it...BUT...there is dissent in your ranks. My guild (Silent Rage) has lengthy discussions about things like this, and two very large errors in the last two guild wars (you know the errors) have shaken our faith a little bit. I am glad you are listening to my comments, it gives me a comfort to know I am being heard.

Being said, I am UNSURE whether or not I am going to continue playing and spending more money. The new upgrade put me down to SERF level when I feel I should be nearly a GOD. I cannot get the high cards I need, no matter how hard I grind or much I pay. The new miles system does not reward me for my previous buys, which were HUGE, and since I can't get anything I need anymore I don't use it much. I'm not going to keep buying cards for 50 gems only to use them as upgrade fodder on other cards, selling them is insulting (150 coins???). Set up a tiered system where 25 gets a 4 star, 50 gets a 5, 75 gets a 6, etc... I am done with the 4 star cards, have been for many moons.

Help your ELDER players out, we're paying your bills!

Mike, I see you have a slight misunderstanding.
You never lose a single point of energy from using Energy Potion.
You are only asked to use energy potion when the stage you are attempting requires more energy than you have available.
Energy is first deducted from your current energy before using the Energy Potion and then have the balance deducted after the potion has been used.

Example Situation

Code: Select all

My Energy now: 18/100
I attempt to do: Solomon Mine (Difficult) - 20 ENERGY

because my 18 energy cannot do Solomon which requires 20, game ask me if I want to use/buy energy potion. I said yes.

Game deducts all my available energy (18 points), now I have 0/100. I still owe the game 2 points in energy.
The game uses my Energy Potion. Now I have 100/100. Game claims the 2 energy I owe.
I'm now left with 98/100 when I start the stage.
I don't lose the 18 points of energy I had on my hand before I used the potion.
Not a single point of energy goes to waste.


Hope that makes it clear how the game does it's calculation.
Happy gaming
