Crown Shop Decks!

So I've been thinking, and Decks are like a new peace of gear. So, a way for KI to make money. Crown Shop Decks! These new Spell Decks will have great stats. These will be priced between 500-2,500 crowns (in comparison to the Mounts, these are very well priced). These Crown Shop Decks will have stats like:
  • New Non-Learnable Spells for all schools
  • Stats like damage, accuracy, critical, block, and resist!
  • +40-400 health
  • Second Page of spells!
  • And makes magic fly around you (like mastery amulets)
Tell me what you think!

I think that KI will not go for this. This would totally throw the balance of the game off and be utterly unfair to those who cannot or will not spend money on crowns.

It is fair. If you won't spend money on Crowns, that's your own choice. If you cannot, there are plenty of good Spell Decks that cost Gold. Again, another way for KI to make quick money. Also, they extra stats it gives would not be that high, just Pet Level stats.

Ok really? Attacks on other users? From what I've seen they're just giving honest opinions and one of them is at least looking for evidence to support their claims. What have they been met with? A ton of flaming. You may not agree with them, but please don't attack them.

I truly hate to provoke the negativity upon RavenLady but you do seem to go for the negative approach of everyone's ideals. But one thing I would change would be the Mastery whisp, but maybe something cooler where the deck shows up at your side if you choose?

And something I've wanted to see, amulets that are designed as scarves...
And finally, the unlearnable spells, I think would be cool. I've been thinking of perhaps a change where monsters would have unlearnable spells that we can't learn. This way it shows they have a somewhat higher power than our wizard. But back to topic, I'd perhaps like to see the decks come with the Immortal Birds, some new Immortal spells and the old ones.

What do you think?

Really? Then explain all the crowns I purchase and my memberships (two accounts).

All I want is a fair game... for those who simply cannot afford crowns. And there are many of them.

These are a few of my ideas:

Lvl 40 - 40 spells, 5 copies, 20 TC, +5 damage, +5 resist, +1 Mega Stun item card, +90 health.

Lvl 0 - 15 spells, 3 copies, 8 TC, +1 damage, +1 resist, +1 Beginner's Luck item Card, +10 health.

Lvl 10 - 20 spells, 3 copies, 10 TC, +2 damage, +2 resist, +1 Fortune item card +30 health.

Mega Stun - Ice, 3 pips, stun enemy for 4 rounds.
Beginner's Luck - Sun, 2 pips, -15% accuracy to all of the enemy's spells for that battle.
Fortune - Balance, 3 pips, receive 2 pips, instead of 1 for 5 rounds.

it's not like these are going to make the game harder for non crowns buyers you are severely decreasing kingsisle's profits when you do this

RavenLady,

I am extremely sorry that everyone is attacking you. Let me explain why these are fair:
  • These Crown Shop Decks are not extremely powerful, like gear. They are basically like a second pet.
  • As they are basically like a second pet, people that can't afford them won't miss out much.
  • If people can't afford from 500-2,500 crowns (which is less than $5 to $5) for a deck, I don't know why they would have a Mount or a crown pet.
  • Again, these Crown Shop Decks are now like a peace of gear!!! They are meant for a little extra boost. Considering the Azteca Decks, brought health, and Khrysalis Decks brought Damage, these Crown Shop Spell Decks are just a few steps up.
Here is how little of an extra boost they give you:
  • LvL 1-10 4 copies, 25 max spells, +3 damage, +3 resist, +1 Summon Minion of [Wizards School] 500 crowns
  • LvL 11-20 6 copies, 40 max spells, +4 damage, +5 resist, +1 Clown card (275 [Wizards School] damage to all enemies 650 crowns
  • LvL 21-30 6 copies, 45 max spells, +4 damage, +6 resist, +1 Silly Strings card (Stun 1 enemy for 2 rounds) 775 crowns
  • LvL 31-40 6 copies, 48 max spells, +5 damage, +6 resist, +1 Golden Egg card (400 + 300 health over 3 rounds) 850 crowns
  • LvL 41-50 6 copies, 50 max spells, +5 damage, +6 resist, +100 health, +1 Orange Bird card (350 healing + -25% to next incoming damage spell) 1,000 crowns
  • LvL 51-60 7 copies, 53 max spells, +5 damage, +7 resist, +150 health, +1 Wrong Direction card (make half incoming damage hit enemy)
  • LvL 61-70 7 copies, 55 max spells, +7 damage, +7 resist, +200 health, +10 critical, +20 critical block, +1 Summon a minion of [Opposite Wizards School (if balance, summons an Astral Minion0] 1,500 crowns
  • LvL 71-80 7 copies, 60 max spells, +7 damage, +8 resist, +225 health, +15 critical, +25 critical block, +2 Polymorph Mouse Knight (Polymorph into a Death Mouse Knight for 6 rounds)
  • LvL 81-90 7 copies, 64 max spells, +8 damage, +10 resist, +250 health, +25 critical, +50 critical block, +10% pierce, +1 Omega Ward (Star Spell, delays all incoming damage for 4 rounds)
  • LvL 91-95 (to 100 when it gets there) 8 copies, 64 max spells, +10 damage, +15 resist, +300 health, +10% incoming/outgoing healing, +30 critical, +50 critical block, +15 pierce, + 3 Evil Eye Cards (Star Spell, see what enemies are casting for 4 rounds.
See? Not that much better than the ones you can buy with Gold. Of course, because they are bought with Crowns, they must have something extra and different, cause Crowns are real money. Again, sorry everyone is attacking you. Please everyone, do not fight on my thread!

Oh I suppose you mean the thousands, probably even millions they make a month?
You mean the hundreds of items in the crowns shop, many of which are very over priced?

Ravenlady is most definitely not trying to harm Kingsisle's profits, and in my mind, Kingsisle makes enough profit and doesn't need to charge us more. We are the people who try to keep this game balanced, which I am sure you have noticed, is not quite working out.

@Nicolas Hawkspear

So basically, just because you can afford an abundance of crowns, means that Kingsisle should put the game even more into your advantage? I can afford crowns with my hard workings but I still see this as selfish.

Anyways, I think the idea is cool, but should rather be a boss drop.

I don't go for the negative at all... I go for honesty. I guess that doesn't work here when you don't agree with an idea.

I won't bother anyone again, with opinions asked for, or for help either.

Good luck to everyone...

I am out

I like the idea. I already think of my decks as pieces of gear that are vital to strategy, and this idea drives that home.

Well we'll be sad to see you go. Seriously we will. I've seen your stuff and you never went for negativity intentionally, only what you believed was the truth(and it was quite a bit of the time). Hope one day you can find it in yourself to return to the forums. If not.... well... have a great time then.
