No cards from expansion in my collection...

[DjohDjeen]

Is this a bug? Or is this as planned? Only people who buy the expansion get to have French and Italian cards?

Very disapointing if so... Pushing new players away and making this game even more P2W... How will this game retain new players when they are faced against god decks and purchased expansion decks?

Preventing Elite cards from ally nation helps a tiny bit for new players, but barely...

Very weird...

Open the ingame shop, chose Allegiance Set, buy an Allegiance Set for 10 gold and voila - you now own 5 cards from the expansion ;)

That's nice and all, I did save tons of gold for this purpose.

BUT... Am talking about RETENTION of new players... New players don't have GOLD... Hence they start playing this game today due to the release of the expansion and they get pimp slapped right off the bat...

I bought 30 packs, got a few decent cards, then my first match was against a top ranked player who had all the cards already and he beat me senseless even tho I have 300 hours in the game...

If this game doesn't retain players it's doomed. The match making keep putting new players against world champions due tothe small player base already, this will only keep going.

There should be an option to buy a specific nation pack of cards for 12 to 15 Gold, that might allow new players to specialize in a specific nation to get a hope of winning more than 1 match out of 10...

Am not thinking about me me me here, am trying to think about new players and the games' survival...

Well, this will always happen in every card game :)

I wouldn't start playing Hearthstone now, for example ^^ it would be a bit unfair but hey... i'm pretty sure that, those who have god decks at this moment, have got them by playing hundreds of hours, so they deserve it :D

I thought we would have some basic new cards at least.

Hopefully you never are put in charge of a company or a community... so you are saying: "Bah, who cares about new players, we don't need them anyhow..."

Do you realize this?

French cards rely on mechanics that MUST include having lots of cards, so does the Italians... So have 1 or 2 cards that needs lots of other cards of the same type means nothing at all...

BEWARE if you buy with real money it does not show up

I am sorry you are facing an issue with the purchase, But please do understand that there are people who purchased the new expansion packs were able to open them, Yes there is an issue atm with your order which I am terribly sorry about but that doesn't mean it will be the same for everyone

I started playing this game a couple weeks ago. Had a fun little stint. Got excited when I heard an expansions coming. Log in today to play if for the first time. Viola realise no new cards available. had 30 gold saved (note I still barely have any of the main set collected.) So three new set packs later and not remotely enough cards to try anything. So basically the new set isnt for me I guess.

Then they changed it so you cant use allied elites?! I only have 0-2 elites per country anyways. So my best most exciting cards I cant even use anymore. What a dumb move. Feels like I cant even use half of my already little collection. Actually all my decks are currently invalid. So this new set effectively removed cards from the game from me and made my decks worse.

Honestly probably going to stop playing. Actually writing this now think i'll go uninstall.

I'll continue playing because game is interesting, but, for example, how many packs I must discover in order to have a decent French or Italian deck?

Devs should release basic French/Italian decks in order to encourage people play and discover new cards

Well I have 300 hours in and I can't win 2 games in a row EVER now. I lose about 95% of my games. Always faced against better decks mostly.

I bought 35 packs on Allegiance release and that gave me about 3 or 4 cards I would bother to play. The whole French and Italian ally thing is useless to me since i don;t own enough of them to get any synergy going...

This game doesn't have 300 players online even a few days after a big release...

My advice to devs is to whipe the slate, force all player to square zero. Of course give back all packages bought to players who spent money, have them re-open those packs.

This way all those who spent lots of time might get a bit mad but new players will stand a chance to stick with the game and start building a community from there.

Releasing this on mobile won't do anything for the game, the new players will get pimp slapped and just quit after a few days, once that new inflow of players is gone am afraid Kards will just vanish.

Better yet the devs should start working on another game, polish it based on the errors of Kards and release it in a playable state right off the get go, generate sales and try not to self implode again...

Probably gonna take a break for a few months now, I can't raise in rank, playing is pointless and no fun anymore, I generate almost no gold after hours of play, why bother...

[juanval]

I have normal decks and few elite cards and, with my favourite german/british deck I face decks of all levels (better, equal or worse than mine) and I win 80 % of combats.

At the moment the quality of packs and production rate of gold are ridiculous, but this game is in early access and I'm sure devs are working hard to make the game better and atractive.

In order to encourage players to buy packs, devs should give at least one elite or special card per pack bought. For example: 1 elite or special, 2 limited and 2 common.

Another interesting option should be to buy nation packs: 5 cards of the same nation.

That's something devs should look into. If a player buys 35*5=175 cards and only is happy with 4 of them, something should change.

I think this game is not noob friendly at all because you don't get to choose decks when you start off as a new player

If you aren't able to select decks then please contact https://support.kards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new, When you start you should have 5 starter decks, 1 for each main nation (Which excludes the two recent nations due to the fact they are currently ally only), You also get 200 cards for free to start building your own decks
