Attention: Kyle - Legendary Cards

[SirShajir]

This topic came up in the Warriors of the Blue Phoenix Forum (Awesome Guild/Shameless Plug-in)

One of the problems that players have is accessing Epics.
Why not sell them for a crystal price of 100-200 crystals each?
You guys pretty much sell the new legendary Heroes for 500 SC each. ( I know there is other incentives, like foils and alternative art, But I spend the money for the heroes mainly as foils/Alternative art doesn't really matter to me personally.)

I know most people in the guild would drop 100 crystals on a Scourge Collossus/Karlstrad/New Epics in an instant. It may be against some philosophy you guys may have, I don't know, but it is just a suggestion.

Pros.
1. Wulven makes REAL $$$ by doing this.
2. Players will be happier getting the cards they want, (Everyone sells their extra copies on the merchant anyways)
3. Will Make competitive play better because all players will have access to the cards they want. As opposed to players not having cards because they don't want to gamble away their money.

Cons.
1.Accusations of Pay to Win? But realistically, the players that are winning have already spent X amount on shadow crystals to make sure they have access to all the cards they want. Some of them just aren't willing to drop $100 on 100 shadow packs for the chance that they MAY get an epic card. (I am in this category). I know Epics are prizes, but just make those prizes foils instead so that they are more valued?

Are you sure you don't mean legendary cards?
Epics cost 800 gold and are easily attainable.

(Unless you're trying to play with a SF deck at this current point of time :P )

Haha lol, actually he meant Legendary cards, specifically Scourge Colossus (who would pay 100SCs for Karlstrad? lol).

Maybe a mod can change the topic of the thread...

Maybe I can.

Honestly its because of that con that I disagree with this suggestion. However, I see nothing wrong with making them easier to obtain either. The card market was supposed to make them much easier to obtain, but, yeah that's not here yet.

And this is where you will lose players to other games. I've been playing Hearthstone recently, and with a modest investment I have already constructed 9 Legendary tier decks over there that include hard to get Rare, Epic, and Legendary cards. There should be absolutely NO reason the players should not have access to those cards. By forcing us to buy packs for a chance to get these legendary cards you are already making it pay to play, because the merchant will NEVER have them in stock.

Sorry, this is an instance where the customer is right. You guys want my money? Give me a real reason to spend it on Wulven instead of Blizzard.

Maybe cause in SE you don't need Legendary cards in order to win games. You can make great decks even without them. I don't know, I haven't played Hearthstone, but from what I hear it is more dependant on having those crazy Legendary and higher rarity cards to do well. At least that's what I've heard. But in SE I don't need Scourge or Karlstrad to make a deck that can win.

I don't know how much is your modest investment but the last time i checked HS , you either have to pull Legendary from a pack and disenchant it or disenchant a bunch of epics and rare in order to craft a specifc legendary . And we are comparing a game that has an expansion once a year which contains only 2 legendaries vs a game that has been already flooded with legendaries and epics , plus non of SE's legendaries are game breaking or considered must have .

But there's sure not enough way to spend SC so beng able to buy legendary cards for a price of 500-1000 SC wouldn't hurt anybody , imo

I like this idea of Buy legendarys with SCs. It's not pay to win. One can always farm SCs : although that will take a very long time, but it's not impossible.

Yes, doing well on ladder each month and meltdown can also get u the legendaries but are the causal players well informed about it?

[ShrapnelFox]

Top 100 and Melt Down - are not for the "casual players".

Casual players don't have the majority of cards, so when they raise 200 gold they're going to buy a new card (or continue saving), not throw it away playing a single meltdown match. How many meltdown matches must they play and win before it becomes a viable option... I.e. not for casual players.

I think Meltdown matches are great... it's disappointing that they aren't feasible for a *casual player currently.

*I'm not considering someone who spends $50 in game, and plays it 5 times a month a casual player in this respect. I'm talking about the majority of the population who don't invest actual money, only time, into the game and play it casually.
