Please remind me of the new features you want

[skipntampa]

I think SE is fantastic the way it is, and doesnt need a change!

But, if your going to anyways:

This is a TCG right? We should have a general marketplace AND a player run marketplace where you can list your own cards for sale or trade.

Update the user interface to allow more search-ability in the marketplace and deck construction.

A more comprehensive deck construction ability, more slots per Hero so we can save multiple decks.

For PvP, instead of just "create game" maybe change it to "free game" and "tournament". The "Free game" will stay exactly as it currently is. "Tournament" will give each player a 25XP bonus, becuase technically, you are gaining experience everytime you play competitivly, and I look at the "Free game" as just testing decks and whatnot.

THats about all I can think of for the moment

[Keaven]

I'm really pleased with all the replies this thread has had and the great ideas generated, but I am also swamped with lots of other work (I have three jobs at the moment), so do not have the time to review the thread and make a definitive list.

So, does anyone want to volunteer their services to help?

Once we have the list, our intention is to give the community the opportunity to vote on the quick (or reasonably quick) fixes they want the most and that will feed into which are implemented first. (Big features will still be done in business priority order though, for obvious reasons.)

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

[edit]Comprehensive list below.

One more idea that came to me today, let's call it 'missions":
A mission is a set of duels with predefined opponent classes (known to the player). Opponents aren't AI but rather online players meeting the set criteria.
For example, a "Temple Assault" is a duel with a Human Warrior (rating 130-160), then a Human Mage (rating 160-190), then a Human Priest (rating 190-220).
The players can save their mission progress in between duels and return to play later. And the opponents may not even know that they're facing a player on a mission, so that it won't affect their gameplay experience.
Coupled with a background story for each mission this would be really neat. And, obviously, achievements for missions!

[RaveBaldrick]

Not really a game feature, but i would like to see:

The Top 20 becoming a Top 50 or 100.

This will make it more realistic to reach the top, and will make the top list more attractive. More players in the top list can make the top list more valuable to the game.

Edit: Sorry for not copying the list, it's hard on Ipad.

The ability to default the "Challenge" screen to a list of your last played games (as searching yourself would bring up).

[Keaven]

The ability to default the "Challenge" screen to a list of your last played games (as searching yourself would bring up).

It was mentioned earlier that this automatic search function was creating an unnecessary load on the servers, which is why it was removed. If players can be searched by clicking their IGN in the QM screen and only your last match history was displayed it would be very easy to click your IGN and see your whole recent history without loading them after every match. Not sure if this would make much difference though.
