[CARDS IDEA] Show Uncollected Cards

Postby Bears Armed » Sat Jul 24, 2021 7:34 am

When you go to your nation's 'Trading Card' page, could the list of your 'Collections' on which you can click also be given an "Uncollected Cards" entry that you can click on to see a list of the cards that you own but that you have not placed in any collection? This would make it easier when deciding which cards to junk if you need to make space in your deck or to raise a small amount of Bank for some purpose.

(Idea inspired by imgur's 'Non-Album Images' option...)
The Confrederated Clans (and other Confrederated Bodys) of the Free Bears of Bears Armed
(includes The Ursine NorthLands) Demonym = Bear[s]; adjective = ‘Urrsish’.
Population = just under 20 million. Economy = only Thriving. Average Life expectancy = c.60 years. If the nation is classified as 'Anarchy' there still is a [strictly limited] national government... and those aren't "biker gangs", they're traditional cross-Clan 'Warrior Societies', generally respected rather than feared.

I would find this quite helpful; thanks for thinking of it.

Top-notch idea right here.

That's actually a really nice idea there.

For the record, there is a rather complicated way of doing this with The Northern Light's Card Queries, by using the command +deck:[nation name] and then -collection:[collection ID], one by one, for every collection you have - which can be pretty time consuming. Add that to the fact the maintainer of the Card Queries (r3naissanc3r/1 very fast endotarter) seems to be inactive for some time already, and thus Card Queries page load times have drastically increased for no apparent reason, although we speculate it was a direct result of inactivity.

What I am trying to say is that this would be a far more accessible way for the average trader to manage cards not in a collection, so it has my support.

However, I must note that the word "uncollected" is rather confusing if this is ever added as an official feature, as it could have the meaning of cards that the player doesn't yet own. Perhaps "unsorted"? I'm not really sure.

Just the topic title made me think of cards not yet owned. I think a different name would be better, but I like the idea!

I would simply call it Uncategorised cards, italicised to distinguish it from the rest.

That's a reasonable complaint, and I agree that "unsorted" might be a better choice.
