Bringing a little Consorting to my Wikings

Hey guys, I thought I'd post something a little interesting today for y'all. As some (hopefully most) of you know, I'm a member of the consortium of tyrant which is a group of players that presents the needs of the tyrant players to the devs. Anyhow, tomorrow there's a vote on priority list of most of the ideas discussed by the consortium since it's creation. Nemo was nice enough to make a summary list. Every member of the consortium has to make a top 10 list and every idea is given points depending on where I rank it (1st place 10pts, 2nd place 9pts, 3rd place 8pts, etc.). The points are tallied up for every idea and the ideas with 0 points are removed. I don't find this to be a very good system but the devs agreed to it so I'm not gonna bother arguing this one.

Anyhow, I thought I'd bring the list to you guys as the ideas on the list are short and concise (which tyranters love ) and possibly hear how you would rank things or simply what interests you guys. Also, it was never discussed whether or not we're allowed to share this list, so please don't go posting this on the kong forums . Without further ado:

- Improve Achievement Interface so that you don't need to scroll through 1,000 completed achievements to view newer ones.
- Distinguish between faction members/officers/leader through color coding in faction war display
- Make card sorting within a filter/category sorted alphabetically
- Auto button in battle screen.
- Defense war indicator
- Make battle speed selection persistent across sessions.(Already in Dev plans)
- Time remaining indicator on war screen.
- Implement alternative/ELO ranking system for faction wars.
- Increase cost of starting a new faction
- Disband inactive factions automatically below a given FP threshold
- Soften infamy system to allow for limited alliance play.
- Allow non-allied factions to agree to treaties
- Create faction reward cards with higher LP requirements
- Limit stamina refills to 1-2 per war.
- Implement separate stamina bar for defense wars.
- Tourney type where players get 10 of each card.
- List buy-in for next tourney on tourney screen.
- Create/allow creation of skins for Tyrant customization
- Improve Daily chance to reward consecutive day sign-ins.
- Improve gold pay-outs in daily chance (in keeping with in-game inflation)
- Improve daily chance card pool.
- Introduce respawning daily/weekly/monthly goals with various handicaps.
- Split "Global Rankings" in to Sealed and Standard.
- Introduce live PvP in arena (this is already in the works?)
- Introduce higher brackets in arena.
- Allow "Surge" in arena.
- Include "unique" filter in rarity filter.
- Increase height of race filter to make scrolling unnecessary
- Replace ability filter with text based box
- Introduce "clear deck" button.
- Allow import/export "save" function to deck interface
- Increase # of deck slots.
- Allow filter by cooldown and pack
- Introduce list of "favorite cards"
- Allow re-use of unique cards in different packs.
- Introduce new standard tourney variants (i.e. Standard Enclave, Common cards only, etc..)
- Allow creation of private tourneys.
- Limit standard tourneys to one deck, chosen at the beginning of tourney.
- Introduce new reward cards.
- Create small buy-in, small reward tourneys with no house cut.
- Reduce House cut.
- Give faction members the ability to battle faction mate's defense decks.

I believe the deck editor is already in reworks, so I suggest waiting and seeing how it ends up. Of the rest, I support the following:

- Allow re-use of unique cards in different packs - 9.
- Auto button in battle screen - 8.
- Introduce respawning daily/weekly/monthly goals with various handicaps - 5.
- Implement alternative/ELO ranking system for faction wars - 2.

And the thing I'd like to see most is

- Stop the power creep - 10.

I hope you're familiar with the term. It's when the old cards are constantly getting dwarfed by new cards. This increases sales of newer expansion but is boring.

And the things that I oppose:

- Soften infamy system to allow for limited alliance play.
- Limit stamina refills to 1-2 per war.
- Implement separate stamina bar for defense wars.

These remain after filtering a bit for me

personal favorites:

- Introduce respawning daily/weekly/monthly goals with various handicaps.

- Introduce higher brackets in arena.

- Create faction reward cards with higher LP requirements (only if they wont cost 1milion gold each or more)

- Give faction members the ability to battle faction mate's defense decks.

and there are alot of minor updates that should not be questioned but just fixed like:
- Improve Achievement Interface so that you don't need to scroll through 1,000 completed achievements to view newer ones.
- Include "unique" filter in rarity filter.
- Increase height of race filter to make scrolling unnecessary
- Replace ability filter with text based box
- Introduce "clear deck" button.
etc. etc.

I'd like to battle the AI having multiple (up to 10 making it more difficult each time you do it - link it to achievement) random legendary from all different packs and getting a nice reward (gold) for it.


I kind of non-auto gold grinding, to keep it interesting.

Cheerz

One thing that has occurred to me on and off is how draws are resolved.

Even if you do damage to the other deck, if you go over turn 50, you lose 10 (maybe gaining 1-3 points for reasons I have yet to figure out).


I think the point distribution for draws should be reevaluated and made more representative of what actually happens in the battle. Maybe considering things like how much health each deck has, plus how many cards have been killed.

Maybe it a bit too late though. =/

Surge gives more Gold and Exp!!!!!!!

Time's up! Thanks for the responses guys. Picked most of my list directly off your posts.

Just one thing I'd like to note, this topic was more oriented around picking priority of suggestions already submitted. While the new ideas are appreciated, it's a bit late to get them put into the list as some members already started voting (I held my vote off waiting for more replies). Anyhow some of these ideas are good. Remember, if ever you come up with ideas, just post them on this thread:

https://thelostwikingz.actieforum.com/t255-what-would-you-like-tyrant-to-do-next

As for features to avoid, I understand completely. As soon as this whole vote thing was made, I brought up the point that there should be a way to voice objection to some features. I was told that I'll be able to do that if any of those "toxic gems" (as evil splinter called them) make it into the final list. While my vote is submitted, you can continue to submit here which features you absolutely do not want to see happen. Even if I don't agree with you, I'll bring it up when the time comes.
