    Interface: Effect tooltips, Drag & Drop.

    Hi guys,

    I just wanted to give my 2 cents about my interaction with the game, and how i think it can be improved.
    At the moment, i feel like playing Shadow Era online feels a bit clumsy, and could be a lot more enjoyable if we could have some small changes to the way we handle cards.

    EDIT: Part about Drag & Drop removed.

    The other point i want to make is tooltips, especially for special effects or abilities.
    It's all cool and stuff to see a card on fire when it is ablaze, or with ice around it when it is frozen, but it is really frustrating to not be able to read anywhere what in heavens name is going on with the card. Ofcourse the game will resolve the effect itself, but i as a player would like to know what the status is, what the effect does and how i can make the best of it in my strategy.
    It's quite simple really: add an 'onmouseover' effect that displays a textbox with the current effects.
    This is very much needed for newer players.

    Kind regards
    Bytas

    Unless i'm wrong , you can drag and drop to command an ally to attack .
    It's always good to go back to your previous achievement and realize how mediocre it was , because it means that you have improved a lot since that time

    Sometime Its hard to tell which ally got protector status from Tala's ability (especially when u distracted with something like phonecall). So does some other additional status that doesnt have any visual effect yet.
    Inline with tooltip, on the desktop's new feature "mouseover card popup", system can write down any additional status there.

    And pls list all negative efect on rule book, its still confuse some player.
    Maybe u should give another name to those non-negative status.

    That's a good point, something we are looking to improve with the next update...

    Drag and drop to attack seems to work only rarely. Most matches I inexplicably must click 4 times to select each card and target and etc. I think this interface would work fine without ever forcing a zoom on a card, that just slows the pace down.

    I find that sometimes when I cancel an attack or after I chose to attack using the buttons(not drag and drop, uhh, the way it was before drag and drop) that drag and drop gets disabled.
