Title: Rogue Rant
Post by: blamelewis on 16 September 2017, 03:26:52 AM
Hi,

I know it's my own stupid fault, but twice now I've been mislead by the text that comes up when an opponent plays a Rogue and I have two possible cards to trash.

Because it says "Trash a card from B" (the first letter of my username) and NOT something obvious like "Trash one of YOUR cards" I've mistakenly clicked on a card thinking I was trashing an opponents...

I know if I were paying more attention this wouldn't fool me but something about the way the text is just implies it's not MY card... can this be fixed? - I think it's badly phrased. Why is it

end rant!

Actually, no! While I'm on the subject I think it's easy to miss what has been trashed from your deck when it's only noted in the log - as in the case of Rogue when there's only one card to Trash. It's easy to miss as it flies past in the log. Maybe a highlight for trashes would be more noticeable?

actual end of rant(s) now :)

T.

This is slightly misleading with Scrying Pool as well.

Maybe the cards-to-be-trashed could get a red outline and a red cross across them to visualise it during the gameflow. You could do the same for discards with another color, lets say yellow.

In the log file itself, please add as many visual clues as possible. I'd love marquee, blink and italic text parts everywhere. Not.

And it's the same with Bandit, when you get a silver and gold to choose from...

Just to clarify, the main complaint here is that the game sometimes refers to the player in the third-person in a way that can be confusing or at least counter-intuitive.

Correct?

Succinctly put, yes, and thanks.
