Better Indicator for Calcified Ember

[Mivlya]

So on covenant 6+, when you draft cards, one of the three will toss a calcified ember into your deck as well. This is fine and fair and interesting, but the indicator is a bit of red above the cards. I didn't even see it my first couple C6 runs and wasn't sure what the indicator was. Now that i know to look for it I see it but...I feel like it could be more obvious and easier to take in at a glance at the cards.

Maybe something like the ember visible on the card? Some electricity/flame effect around it? Just something that pops a bit more than unmoving text above the card select.

Anyone feel the same way?

Fully agree!
It took me many runs to start noticing this indicator.
In the first game, some cards were Infused - and it was immediately obvious.

[Fumpig]

Agreed, it's hard to notice during a run without consciously looking for it.

[Nordos/atord]

fully agreed. Some small cracks snaking around the edges of the card would be appreciated.

Okay so—I thought it was just secret and luck-based when you grabbed the ember one, the fact that this is how I find out there IS an indicator means I agree that is needs to be WAY more obvious. Like a small picture of the ember on the card at the top.

I am confused, are you guys saying that the HUGE RED SIGN over the card that literally spells out in full that this card adds a calcified ember... is not noticeable?

[Vigilante]

totally missed it myself plenty of times the differance between one with and one without the ember would be nice to have a larger contrast or even a tooltip popup on the one that does with simply a - "comes with ember" when you mouseover would be awsome

actually, yes. See, the thing is, the red border is at the top pf the card. When I check the rewards, I look at the cards themselves. I actually have to lift my gaze to check each time, which card got the Ember.

Lol I can't tell you the amount of times I've accidentally drafted the calcified ember. It drives me nuts when it pops up in my hand.

When my brother plays I need to remind him every time which card got it, too. I have accustomed to it (though it still is annoying), but seeing so many others (including my brother) having the same issue ....

Right, because a big-ass red sign that is sitting right on top of the card and tells you hey, the ember is right here, the one that is around 50% wider than the card itself, actually bigger than most other UI elements in the game - that sign is not noticeable at all.

it is in an understated color of red. It is at the top of the card. When I look at a card, I read the text, not the name.
As such, the top part of the card is not my priority. And since that is not the case, it is surprisingly easy to miss.

[Echo]

Fully agreed. At the very least, the indicator should be moved to the bottom of the card, not the top, as that's where everyone looks.

[Leius]

Same feeling, its easy to miss since my mind is focused on the cards especially when playing fast.

Please tell me you don't drive a car lol

About the part where you say that you deliberately avoid reading the calcified ember notice because it is not a priority for you: I think that might explain how you can miss it. You know, since it is a big huge red sign right on top of the card that tells you exactly what you are looking to know and literally impossible to miss.
