    The New Player Experience (Observations & Suggestions)

    @korsbaek hey there :D I remember you. Are you comparing the current starter cards to EA F2P starter cards? Because for me I think there’s no question that we have improved the starter cards greatly.

    If you’re referring actually to the starter deck/cards people got when they originally bought the full game with money back in EA times, then perhaps our cards/decks aren’t as good since we only give out common cards in our starter decks. It’s in an attempt not to devalue uncommon/rare cards, and more importantly most core cards are also in the common rarity.

    Dear Support!

     

    I can't login in my account, they write connection fail.

    Thanks for the help.

    Try restart your game. Connection failed also can mean you put in wrong password

    I guess this is a bit overdue now but better late than never ;) . I'm Will or otherwise known on-the-line as Ultrakool. I'm from Vietnam, currently living in Germany. It was a silly name I chose a long long time ago for BF and it kinda just stuck. Now basically I use that name in every single online game I play(It comes with putting up with those jokes about my name :D). I enjoy mostly PvP in BattleForge, but back in the days didn't take it so seriously, being younger and all. PvE is fun too but not my main interest. I remember back in the days, getting into BattleForge because of a friend, then he left after several months but I stuck with it on and off until the unfortunate demise in 2013. Like many others here, it was a game I always come back too, even after taking a lot and rather long breaks. In addition to playing the game, I was also involved with the battleforge forums, in the trade section mostly, but in other sections too. Furthermore I was also asked to be a moderator in a fan-made forum by a Dutch person who was known as Lithaladin. I was so involved with the game and the community in fact that, after the game was shut down, were invited to join a Skype Group by MrXLink I think. I wasn't ALL too active in it, but I remember sometimes popping in to reminisce the good ol' days. I moved on to other games but none could compare to BF. Furthermore, I really came to appreciate the community that is BattleForge, mostly compromising of happy and helpful individuals. Compared to other games, playing and conversing in the battleforge community was a breath of fresh air.

    Never did I know that I would ever even breath that fresh air again. Alas, the wonderful surprise came when MrXLink linked the new forums in the Skype chat of veterans from BF. Joined the forums few days after it was made and the rest was history. At first it was just @Ladadoos and me spamming for our lives, but people quickly joined. 100,200,1000,5 000,10 000, and now a whooping 57 665. Fast forward to March 2018, when I was (sorta) asked to become Moderator, I was elated, this was my chance to contribute to the wonderful unique BF community I know and love, that never could compare to any other. Being here over the years ( Project started in June 2015) there has been many ups and downs, many lulls, I've witnessed many iterations of the game development, 2 servers, going from only having access to the forge in techinical alpha, to being able to load up maps and entering games, and now with thousands of skylords being able to connect at once. We have improved steadily, and while progress might seem slow sometimes: (The usual reasons of this being a volunteer project and all), like me and thousands of you out there, we always come back to BF, and progress will be achieved once again. The project may slow, but it will never stop. Some time soon I hope to be able to meet you guys in the forge after the reset we have planned! Don't lose hope! Also dont shy away from dropping me PMs if you need anything at all, I'm always happy to help.

    RNG from card packs?

    I think cards rarity should change according to their actual value so the booster would actually be bit more predictable and balanced.

    not something that happen often but maybe once a year rarity balance on cards according to their market value.

    if the current chances are those: https://forum.skylords.eu/index.php?/topic/3328-skylords-reborn-booster-ratios/

    and let say a pack value should be around 400 bfp

    so on averge those should be the values of the most unlucky boosters

    • 5 commons = 5x4 = 20 bfp
    • 2 uncommon = 2x45 = 90bfp
    • 1 rare = 290 bfp

    so now if we extend each rarity values to be something like this:

    • commons = 0-10 bfp
    • uncommon = 10-80 bfp
    • rare = 80-500 bfp
    • ultra rare = 500+

    im not sure if the math i did is right but you get the idea.

    i think that if something like this would be done boosters opening would feel more rewarding and cards value on the market would be more balanced.

    You know that this will actually raise the rarity of some cards right? Like the (in)famous shaman going for 800 right now will be ultra rare 

    The ratio of c/uc/r/ur should stay the same and therefore every card that has its rarity decreased needs a card to have it’s rarity increased

    what is patreon money used on?

    There’s no point in speculating server cost guys. And the original question of this thread is answered: The SR team is in no way allowed to take any part of the money for themselves, also NOT as any kind of salary or payment. It's only to be used to maintain this project: (Servers, etc) Also hopefully if we ever get to the point where there are so many people playing concurrently that a much more expensive server is needed that the increased player base means increased donations proportionally. Anyway this thread is very old and it’s generally frowned upon to resurrect threads older than 30 days. This has been here for 1.5 years so :) I think it’s run it’s course. If you have something concrete to discuss, feel free to open another thread.

    Beside getting a Promo, isn't it a fact that Booster at least give you Cards who are the same worth as one pack??

    Nope. It is a fact that a booster gives you certain rarities with their specified percentages. That means a certain constant % chance of getting Ultra Rare, Rare, Uncommon and Commons. Prices have nothing to do with that. It is all depending on market forces. Getting a promo though is an average of 0.5% which means one in every 200 boosters. According to that, I don’t think you opened 200 boosters yet which means you were “lucky” 

    We are not going to set prices because those are very very subjective and would defeat the whole point of a free market economy

    Well, yes -> i played BF back in the old days,
    but no -> not on this specific computer.

    (Till then I changed nearly every component, maybe the HDD is the same)

    Maybe you can try hard reset of xml file. Just delete the whole documents—> battleforge folder and see if there’s a difference on next startup

    I dont understand how bad the RNG is from the card packs but boi last 20 packs less than 400 bf is just nuts, unable to build any decks or even finish first one.
    anyone else this unlucky?

    Card worth has a very weak correlation with rarity in this game.. added to that with huge price fluctuations and general low demand it’s certainly possible.

    E.g some ultra rare cards are even less useful than common cards so therefore are priced accordingly low - very low
