Sir Jedi Knight and gamblers' guild
Author: leninisback
Hi! We know your name is Jedi! :D So, why do you like Gamblers' guild, why do you play cards?
If my memory is correct, this is my first character in the game.
When I saw your question, I looked back at my logs to see when I played my first card game. I realized that I played my first card game on the first day of playing this game!
Of course, on that first day, I didn't know about Experience tables, or levelling up bonus etc. I was just trying out all the different aspects of the game.
But I like playing cards to take my mind off fighting and relax a little. Of course, later on I discovered the free bonus daily Luck drink and I really wanted it. So, I pushed hard to get it.
After I got level 15, I slowed down a lot, but still play it when I have the time to relax and take my mind off fighting battles. :)
You have a great experience of playing cards, tell us what is the key of victory?
I personally (different players may think differently) believe that Tavern card games are 50% luck, 50% skill.
In a one-off game (or even a few games), a lesser-skilled player may win. But in the long run (100s and 1000s of games), the better skilled players will ALWAYS win.
Even though the maximum stake for a card game is only 20k, some players have over 10-20 MILLION gold winnings (how!?)
So there are only 2 possible reasons for this:
• these players are very very good,
• these players are using some illegal scripts or have other accounts 'supporting' (deliberately losing) them.
I have no proof on players using illegal scripts (I think it is very hard for even admins to check them), so I choose to believe these players with huge Tavern profits are very good and skilled players.
I am not a good card player, so I try to avoid playing card games with players with huge profits. :)
Same reason I won't play golf with a professional golfer, or enter a boxing ring with a boxing world champion. :)
I basically play to relax my mind from battles. :)
Nice! What are the differences and similarities between playing the maximum stake in card games and fighting in tournaments? Why did you choose the 1st thing?
I believe most [but not all] players play tournaments for the medals in character profile and achievements. Players play maximum stakes card games to try to make quick gold/profits.
For me, tournament takes too long and I have to leave my computer without noticed sometimes. I prefer the faster few minutes card games to relax. If I win gold, it's a bonus. :)
For tournaments, I still wish to win the [256 players] 'Sunny City Cup' card tournament. It is the only card tournament I have not won. But it is very hard to win as there are many good players. But I will keep trying. )
Ok, let’s talk about other thing - cards! How do you think, which card is not balanced and must be upgraded?
I think the existing 102 cards are quite balanced, although if a player has the 3 [blue, red and green] 'dragons', his chance to win is very high.
So, I don't think any cards should be 'upgraded'. Maybe admins can add 1-2 new cards to the deck every 3-6 month to 'freshen' the card playing experience. :)
What a wonderful idea! What is your favourite card?
Most would say the 3 Dragon cards. I would say the same. :)
But at start of game, I like to have 'Troll Instructor' [+2 Barracks] and any cards that give +1-2 to Monastery.
If you had a 20 million profit, how would you spend it? :)
If I had 20 million profit [impossible for me though! haha.. :D], I would get a Unique Character Image, and build the rest of my faction castles. :)
Thank you, good luck in tavern! :D
Thanks. It's been a pleasure talking with you. :)
