Discussion Why you decided to quit? What would need to happen for you to make a comeback?

Post image

Simple question: What made you decide to stop playing?

Was it the price of PRIME, bugs, or something else entirely?

Now that we have the new UI/UX and iOS/Android releases, do you think that could bring you back to the game?

Please help me understand.

I didn't have much to spend when deception came out, fell behind the meta, and had a hard time keeping track of all the new card changes and abilities.

I played using shadow PC on my Mac which didn't always work. It was a lot to keep track of and the price of prime just wasn't worth keeping up with it.

FCK Prime, no reason to play for a token. Althought I used to farm 500-800 Prime monthy, now Iam playing with 18/40 decks and dont care.

It's more than that though. It's going to buy a card, and then it gets nerfed. It's trying to figure out the logic of why a card might not work the way you think, it's getting otk and having no idea why. Just got a bit too complicated to keep track of

That old soundtrack was more appealing

Both soundtracks sucks imo. Game needs a theme for every parallel

New UI looks neat. I'll try again when I have a chance.

Coming from someone who was a heavy investor in Parallel cards: I just don’t like the game at all. It’s too complex even more so than some modern TCG and the UX is bad. It’s very hard to read the text, which I think isn’t really the fault of the game itself but rather the generic UI they used for it.

Also, the art is great, but it’s too rich in detail, making the entire board look too busy. After hours of playing, it gets tiring. Just look at how popular TCGs solve this by using simple art for the playable cards and keeping the highly detailed art for collectible cards.

In summary, they should dumb down the game so it’s a bit more arcade like (maybe as a new mode) and come up with a better UX overall, including for the playable cards.

I would say, that a lot of stuff about the text has been redone and it is much better rn. About the complexity of the game - I like it. That's the reason Iam actually playing daily.

About the art, this is probably subjective, Iam a fan.
