I often see a lot of people using those card effects so they appearently like them a lot Of course they could be even better if we work together to make some interesting use for them.

Sorry, but if you actually played the game you might see how much these cards are detested by the players. Try hosting a fair event when people are shrinking, and using their cards as an advantage over players who pay, but not for these crappy extras.

How can the shrinking to 75% of your original size be a big advantage? x-x It's not changing any game play. Also if you think that effect is bad then try to give some suggestions for more interesting effects that are fitting to your particular event

Era doesn't have anything else which zooms regular players, so I'm blaming the most annoying bug on you, because the zoom cards are causing it, and I'm sure of that. When somebody around you is using a zoom card (not you yourself), sometimes objects around you just disappear, even showimg objects on the 4th layer or higher. Why? Because the viewport of the person using the zoom card is zoomed too, and sometimes applied to yourself, but still going with the zoomed person of course. It's hard to explain, but it's the cards, several people are 100% sure of that.

They give you a huge advantage in zone events like hide and seek because they can open an avenue of hiding places that you wouldn't have otherwise.

The viewport is not zoomed, just the player.

It's hard to explain, but once you've seen it, you will probably agree with me. I suppose Graal saves memory by really only drawing what you should see, so it cuts off graphics that are out of the viewable range, and exactly that part is zoomed when a player uses such a card and sometimes causes Graal to flicker between these two and have things cut off that you should see.

Show me, I'm on Era now.

Either way, I don't think you should mess with the look of players. I see there being clashes with this stuff and servers. What if a server wants to have players be invisible via a script? Then the alpha card goes and makes them visible? Same applies with messing with their size.

[Robin]

Yeah just checked, if it happens it doens't happen all the time. Intermittent bugs suck.

Can't show you since I don't have any cards, but I guess you saw already?

I think you should ask some players who spar what they think on that, but I know most would agree with me. 75 percent is still quite small of a size, and you are placed at a disadvantage when sparring someone like that, because you lose your idea of range. Server specific cards will be a hard task, and personally I can't see how it'd be done, and as the servers are supposed to be diverse from each other, I can't see how the effects are going to fit in everywhere. I don't see how my post was nonconstructive either, but maybe you negative rep any player that doesn't like your ideas?

They're annoying and distracting, so yea it kind of is changing gameplay.

Simple solution: Disable the effects of cards in spars and events. I think that's what a lot of us want.

What about cards that give you a special hat/sword but they're just for looks.
