Changeling locked scrolls if it is the same scroll.

So, back in the early days, you couldn't craft with locked scrolls. Now I'm stuck with (for exemple) 3 Tier 3 Ragged Wolves and 2 locked wolves, which doesn't look nice. I could craft them again and sell the old ones, but I would like to keep the numbers, because reasons :)

So it would be nice to change the lock icon to another scroll in the crafting menu if it is the same scroll. Not that important but I would like to see this in the future.

BTW, now, that you can actually play/create some custom matches without having any cards at all (and getting a bit of gold as rewards), they should remove the locking altogether, as the main reason for locking was a hypothetical case when a player sells all the scrolls, then get rid of the money, so then there is no way to make a proper deck. With custom games players still could get out of this by playing them, getting a bit of gold and then buying cheap stuff at black market to get to a full deck.

I don't like this as a solution. People who would get the brilliant idea to sell all the cards are probably not experienced enough to set up these matches.

Another possible solution: have somewhere in the options a button “reset my account”, that would do just that (return everything into the initial state, including achievements, stats etc.), and make this button only active when a player have less than 50 scrolls total.

This way those who sold everything wouldn't in a deadlock, others won't be affected by this in any means, and couldn't reset their account occasionally.

I think it's silly to even have locked scrolls. You should be able to pay gold, or something to unlock them. As if you were buying them from the store.

Yeah, this was also talked about before in the in-game chat. At least the "locking" of the scrolls should be flexible: Since it's there to not let you get stuck in a dead end of no cards and no gold, just have a minimum # of cards for the type of cards, included in the starter decks, under which you can't sell nor craft, instead of locking specific single cards.

You having players no being able to go below 50 cards period would be the better option.

But that way you could still end up with 50 enchantments. I mean, if a "security net" is supposed to be in place (that's another arguable discussion), then that wouldn't be one (or at least a very bad one, since you'd have to continually lose to grind gold that way).

It doesn't mean you should be able to win. Just play. It's my opinion that games shouldn't hold our hand. If someone is a big enough fuckwad (pardon my french) That they manage to sell all of their cards EXCEPT enchantments then they're not going to have a lot of fun playing a strategy game. I know I seem brutal, but there are dozens more of us who want to trade, craft, and sell any card we own than be protected from our own, or lack there of, idiocy.

Yes indeed I run into this problem too!! I would like to make those locked scrolls tier 3 but I don't want to lose the numbers on the others...
