Trading Cards Ideas

Trading with cards I've realized that the system could add three new options.

The first one is to be able to mark a card as your favourite; that way you don't need to make a 0,01 bid and you could easily see it in its own tab.
The second idea, is to have in the "Bids" and "Asks" tabs the ask and bid values that are available at that moment, so that you could see it without having to enter in each card and you could see if somebody wants a card for less than your price but you want to sell it otherwise.
The third idea is to mark the cards you have a bid in the market, like the one there's with owned cards.

What do you think of my ideas? Do you also have any interesting idea? If so, comment below

I agree with the first one but collections does sorta do that.

The second one if shows the best bid and best ask onhttps://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/value_deck=1?nation=9003

third there is a bid tab https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/show_trades=bids?nation=9003 (Enjoy looking at my 200+ bids :P)

I understand your point of view, but I'm talking about cards you don't own. That's the main reasons for the first 2 points. The third one isn't the most necessary, like you say (also, you want a lot of cards, good luck in having them all! ).

Thanks for your fast reply, and let's hope that the new seasons brings some other updates to the card trading system

*Edit: I've started a collection (I had never tried) and I thought it could be useful to have a button on each card to add it to one of your collections without having to search in the list that doesn't save the changes when you change pages

Here are some ideas of things I'd like to see for Season 2:

A box tab on the Value page to the left of the Auction column next to each of a player's cards that would allow to quickly Junk cards in mass. As a Card Farmer, the current methods of junking one by one after a large transfer from puppets is time consuming. If I could just click a box to select and then mass junk cards, it would save quite a bit of time.

A Date/Market Value chart that can track each player's Deck Value over time. This could be accessible as a feature from the Top Decks page similar to how clicking on a card from the Top Cards page features a Date/CMV Chart. If possible, it would be really cool to click on a specific date to also see where that Deck stood numerically on the Top Deck chart at a specific time in the past. Also stats that rank such things as Deck Value:Deck Size, Total Wealth (Deck Value+Total Bank) etc

Official Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly Award Reports with-in a Season (and eventually across Seasons) for various categories. It would be cool to add a snapshot of stats that have pre-announced begin and end dates that could allow players to compete for fun in numerous ways. This could come from use of any number of criteria. Examples such as largest card CMV increase and decline as a whole, best performing Cards by Region/Card Tier, Largest Deck Value increase and decline by Region, etc. There are endless ways to create games within the game for both hardcores and casual players. Some sort of Community dispatch or News update that captures stuff like this for posterity would be a cool way to enhance the experience for a lot of players. Adding Badges for would also be awesome.

Track Top Daily Bank Value as a ranked stat from the Trading Card page. Building bank is as much an achievement as building Deck Value. It would be cool to see this tracked.

I love the card game, Season 1 has been a lot of fun. Future Seasons have a lot of potential to go even further, and I'm really enjoying the ride!

For what it's worth, the positive part about only having a top deck tab and no top bank tab is that you need to spend bank on order to get any benefit. That's a kind of incentive to keep the economy moving instead of hoarding in single player.

A suggestion from me would be to have the deck capacity button be a link to expand your deck at any time. You would be able to check the price of the expansion and purchase the upgrade when it's convenient for you. Possibly move it to where it's more visible.

Also don't get your hopes up about mass junking. The game if anything will be imporved to help the little guys not us big card farmers as we are not the main focus.

The first one I agree, though I just use my dossier on a puppet account for that task. The second one definitely though you can look at the deck values to see the lowest ask and highest bid. Point is I don't think it is likely there will be a change if a system is already in place even if it is inconvenient.

Removing the warns for Rare and possible Ultra Rare cards would be amazing though, they are painful to clear especially on mobile.

They could remove the warn but create an "undo" button that only works in the page where you open cards. That way if you junk a card by error, you could undo it.

Still think there should be some kind of card eBay system where we can search for specific cards by name instead of hunting down their ID. Filter by season, region, display all cards by price, etc. There's a lot of ways to make the market more accessible.

I'm working on a pseudo fix but I lake the graphical coding know how to make it prettier than Search and find (Ctr. F)
It would be super cool to be able to do something like that or search based on rarity faster.

Another interesting idea could be having the season 2 cards in its own deck, this way they would be separated from the season 1 cards and they would have their own market, space and money.

Man, that would be the best Idea ever.
Everyone will have to start from scrath. so Big players will not be able to take avantages of the easy card time in Season 2, like they did at the beginning of season 2.
Also, the value of all cards should drop down. which is fine with me.

It's not hard to get a lot of bank and cards, just takes time. The big farmers will still accumulate massive banks and collections in a few weeks of S2 regardless of what happens to their S1 decks/bank.

Well, since the whole thing started as an Aprils fools joke, how about all card collections, card storages, accumulated banks aso are reset to zero at the start of season two ? :rofl:

Well. this will certain hurt a lot of big farmers . who still dominate the Trading cards.

And yes, there is nothing to do, when someone has more nations then me and use them all to get cards/ bank.

But, if season 2 its own game, then at least, big farmer will have to work a bit for that money.

I have an idea. Display a warning if you try to put a bid above x amount. This warning could be disabled. I'm paranoid of putting a 15.00 bid whenever I try to bid 0.15.

Nobody knows; it could be tomorrow or in a few months. I think it will be a surprise, like it was in December of last year.

It will start.... eventually. It all comes down to when Max and the coding team have it ready to go. I, personally, would love to see season 2 start sooner than later. There are many wonderful nations -- that haven't had cards for over a year -- that many players are eagerly waiting to trade.

A fresh infusion of these new cards would be exciting!

You can always make a puppet nation to have your collections and pay less for the space.
