I hope the Developers think over the Card Patch very cautiously. I achieved every card in the game that i wanted and I did not plan to use anymore cards on myself. So yeah, I am just one of many who would be pissed if I woke up to the new patch and all of my hard earned and bought cards just went down the drain. My current gear and cards are very suitable for today`s end game PvP and I did not plan on spending the next 5 years farming more cards just because my current cards went down the drain.
I do not agree with all cards getting changed. Enya already stated all cards prior to the patch will remain the same. Which is good. I among thousands of other players (all servers) would riot and rage quit. Most of us have spent 3-5 years trying to improve and get our cards. So NO! Do not change all of the current cards. I did not farm Ancient Trent for years just for it to become completely and utterly useless next major update. There is a reason we don`t camp and kill dewdrops 24/7 that card is crap. But Ancient Trent is a very good and useful card.
Everyone saying it is not be fair for players who do not have the cards yet or new players. Well to counter argue that, it is not fair to take away the cards people spend months and years trying to obtain or even the ones who spent a fortune on the cards. Honestly, The players without the cards now probably did not put as much effort into getting cards in the first place. Most of the server is too lazy and cry about other people getting cards before them. Well too bad they should have put more effort into actually farming those cards instead of sitting in Varlone all day. (Im not talking about players who can not play much do to work and other real life things. lol
legit the strong players with the cards and gear are strong for a reason. Not because they sat in Varlone spamming duels and the chat.
I agree 100% to not changing the current dropped cards on the server. We all know that would cause mass riot on all the servers. The new cards and their adjustments should done carefully and with a lot of time and thought put into each card. Just changing numbers around can seriously break the game. I assume the new bosses will have new cards too. I just hope they are not broken and strong or joke cards like the event cards. lol
The concern of the gap growing between new and old players is still there. However that will always be the case. Everyone starts out as a noob some point in the game. Granted half are still noobs but that is beside the point.
The new cards will affect new players capabilities for sure.
Anyways. I`ll wait for the patch notes. I just hope everything does not come crashing down.
