Recently I tried netherwarping these constructs and ships, too.
..still figuring out a good deck around those cards. For now, I cannot complain about problems with bloodhealing - never used it. There are two units which do get a lot of healing spells form other players: shadow mages and constucts. (Well, that is highly dependant 
but still...)

1) Quantity of the same card you can buy.

These kind of restrictions should apply to normal AH, too!

I haven't really deep thought about market regulations. From the heart, I cannot negate nor agree this thesis. Anyhow, an easier way to regulate (better in this context: control) the market is not the right way to go.
On second thought, I think you get me wrong. That what I had in mind will not directly regulate the market, but because it is another option/tool to buy/sell cards it will -indeed- have some impact. Let me explain my idea with more detail:
I defenitly do not want an auto-buy feature. That would lead to above mentioned questions like: what happens if more than one person has an agent running; which tries to buy cards at the same price... and so on. Instead, I want the user to make an entry in this "reverse AH": a fixed price, to instantly buy a certain card. So person A adds an entry "willing to buy 1 copy of Windweavers for 100bfp". If that user wants another copy, that user has to add another entry. If you regulate, that an account can only add up to 4 entries for the same card, and also these entries do have only a certain lifespan, the impact on the marked should be acceptable. Sooo, if a player B browses through this reverse AH and sees the entry (end of course owns a WW), he can click on a button, so that he loses the WW from his collection and instantly get the 100bpf per mail.
To the thoughts from Ultrakool:
1) Will not apply here, because there is no bot which scans the market. It is a user driven decision who gets the card.
2) I would not let the normal AH and the reverse one interact with each other. So, nothing would happen (nice feature, though :-p)
3) The bfp player A offers should then be blocked or substracted from your account.
Because my idea of this revers AH is user driven and also no interactions between both AHs the "logic" should be not that much. But I definitly think that it is a worthy feature: my experience with the WTT/WTS/WTB is not that good. Just because somewone who is willing to sell a -lets say promo constuct- has to be online at the same time likw someone else who wants to buy it. Either it is me or this happens not that often.

Instead of offering cards you enter a "want to buy a certain card for a specific price".
Don't know how it affects the economy, but right now it sounds like a good addition to me. You instantly could get some BFP, if you want to buy a card. Also it could stabilize the prices a bit.

NAME: pin needle in opened booster
SEVERITY: 3
LOCATION: when flipping cards after opening a booster
REPRODUCIBILITY: just noticed once
DESCRIPTION: a rare card within a booster does have the pin needle icon. Card(s) in collection do not have the needle (that card is not upgraded, so a needle should be visible)
SCREENSHOT/VIDEO: attached

NAME: possible wheel of gift bug
SEVERITY: 3
LOCATION: in play
REPRODUCIBILITY: saw it just once. I've read somewhere that you guys are the replays on the server. So you could look into this. Otherwise this report is useless and could be deleted...
DESCRIPTION: in a game I noticed a double wog icon on an unit. Might be something like a display bug or did we accidentally build up two wheels at the same time? (I thought the abuse of more than one wheel was corrected)
SCREENSHOT/VIDEO: attached
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: game was on 28.4. and ended 10:50 German time zone

Whoop. Didn't notice. Thanks
-
Well, I do play them. If someone uses wheels, it is something like "shared resource ballance" if not just one has to store 3x180 energy in buildings. If someone uses amii, then I try to race to T3 first
anyhow, there are decks out there which require 5 orbs. Don't ask me what to do then...

Sounds interesting. But I don't have 8 Spirit ships, so I could probably never clone any deck
Well, I do.
Anyhow, not all decks do use Spirit Ships. Not even all frost/shadow decks. That is only one thing I've learned the last days.

With the game beeing up and running without any account restarts, and me playing (and hunting bfp) more than half a year, I think I do own most (if not all) important cards to build each deck I like to play with. That beeing said, I tried to prevent BF from becoming boring to me, so I "invented" a new game style which I now want to share with you.
Join a 4 player random pve level 9 game, request any other players deck, clone it and play with it - no matter what. As a pro tip: do a request from the other side. (If you are on position one or two, do request from 3 or 4.) If that player on your side does have a deck which doesn't suite you (I do not want to write: is a bullshit build), you'll have a very hard time to reach t3.
So far, I had a lot of fun, some troubbles and I definitly learned a lot about other deck building skills! For instance, players with just 19 cards in the deck (and 18 cards in my clone) do make the game interesting again. And I learned about other players ideas what a good deck should look like. Play-wise, it gets even more interesting, when you got someone who does not have the resources to built a perfect deck for the chosen orbs.
Have fun!

When you clone a deck you cannot really tell which cards you miss. You have to ask again for the other deck to search manually for missing cards.
A short notification (via chatbox) which cards are missing would be cool!

I've tried to play a pure bandit deck, but the play-style of Tortugun doesn't feel "smooth". Here are two suggestions.
1. in Amok state if no other unit nearby, it seems to run to any direction until it hits a wall. Then it stays there. You cannot control it; meaning you have to send another unit to "rescue" it. How about a better "seek" AI?
2. In my deck I had both Tortuguns and a Bloodhorn. Because both Tortuguns have different ranges of attack and the bloodhorn is melee, my army had three flocks. With the result, that the Tortuguns do consume each other (instead of the Bloodhorns). An improvement, that they do not eat their own kind would be great! (Especially, because they choose their target very randomly. It happens, that they consume the Tourtugun with the most stored life points. What a waste.)

I thought it is a bell, too. But somone (recently in this forum) pointed out that it is some sort of thumbtack instead.
-
I think the goal was to assign uprgrades to maps where their cards come to an use. Also, starting missions are easier than later missions, so common card upgrades are mostly on earliers missions..
-
Sending a pending notification when a player opens the deck selection window and sending the selected deck name, level and picture id to up to 3 other players. Somone has to open/close that window like a maniac to raise the overall tranfer data volume by a reasonable ammount.
Compared to in-game data when someone moves units one by one, this could not be much, I'd guess..

It buggs me that you have to play a "pure fraction" on T1, even when you want to play a "mixed" one later on. For example, if you want to build a "full Bandit deck", you still have to use fire T1 or shadow T1. What about some (few) units (and buildings) which are in the favour of the mixed fractions?
As designing cards takes lots of time I like to suggest to take just some basic T1 units (like Forsaken, Sunstriders, Master Archers or something even more "generic") and apply a themed skin to those units, as well as the usual benefit from that fraction. (eg. the heal for the Bandits)
A tradeoff to use these mixed units on T1 should be, that you are forced to have a certain orb colour when raising your T2.

During matchmaking; it can be frustrating if everyone is ready (has the check-mark to start playing) except one. This might happen, when a player still seraches for a deck he/she/it wants to play with. A notification, that a player has the "select deck" window open for the other players would be a good addition here.
Such message could be a "pending..." instead of a actual deck name and an invalid deck level - you could name your deck like "pending ..." to confuse people.
Before adding this feature, there is a bug which might have to be fixed first:
-
I like to suggest a feature for the in-game "request deck" function. As I do have no secret decks and I also do not really care if someone wants to see my deck; a checkbox for an automated "ok" to show deck would be a nice addtion.

NAME: Visibility of changing your deck for others
SEVERITY: 3
LOCATION: Matchmaking
REPRODUCIBILITY: always (?)
DESCRIPTION: When a player has chosen its stating position. The other players do see the name and level of your deck. Sadly, if you have changed your deck there is no visible update for the other players. Only marking the "player ready" checkbox updates the information for other players. This behavior leads to minor confusion, if you request a deck and then you do see another deck (the request deck function shows the actual selected deck, not that visible in the "preview").
SCREENSHOT/VIDEO: -
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I would aprechiate when the information of a new deck would be sent right after a player selected a deck - not only when triggering the "player ready" checkbox.che

Well, then that happened to me.

Recently, I put auctions to AH until I reached the allowed limit. The next day I had only the return-messages from AH in my inbox and got a note that more messages are stored on the server. So I doubt that these limits are both 40.
-
There allready is a "collect all" function. If you delete the mails, their content is added to your collection.
Besides:
There is a limit on the allowed auctions, but the limit of your in-game mails is lower. After each hosted auction (successful or not) you'll get a mail. I would appreciate, if these two limits would be aligned.
-
If you get your unwanted card back you receive a mail. When you offer many cards this gets messy. Especially, when having a mixture of valuable and 3bfp cards in the AH. You just do not know really which cards came back and which were sold.
Also, it takes quite some time to open/read each single mail. Can you add the name of the card to the title? Or even better: add a picture of the card to the overview?

NAME: Bandit Sorceress leaving ally's building
SEVERITY: 3, also client sided (but cannot create topic in that subforum?!)
LOCATION: in game, tested in campagin missions
REPRODUCIBILITY: always
DESCRIPTION: Player 1 spawns a Bandit Sorceress (we did it with red affinity) and sends it to a tower of Player 2. Now, that player has the control of that unit. First, the "leave builing" button is only available to Player 2. Second, after leaving the buildind, the unit belongs to Player 2 (with resources and unit count and everything) and cannot be controlled by Player 1 anymore.
SCREENSHOT/VIDEO: -
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: this behaviour might be a disign choice and not a buged behaviour. Also, it might would make sense, if the building gets destroyed (on purpose) the Sorc will first be sent out automatically.
Market regulation
in General Talk
Posted
Just because the cards are in the AH it does not imply they are get sold for that price. So, the market regulates itself over time - after 24h the overpriced cards vanish. Maybe a hotshot will buy an overpriced card, though.
