So... can we keep the nation cards?

So... can we keep the nation cards?

Postby Tetros » Sun Apr 01, 2018 1:36 am

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, the cards was an AMAZING idea.

But the only bad part of it, is that it has to leave us, and we only get to keep it for a week. It would be such an amazing thing if we could keep the cards after the week, and make it like an ‘issues’ feature, and have one loot crate every 6 hours.

I hope you consider my request!

Agreed. While it may be making fun of lootboxes, it's also a great alternative way to get to know other nations and possibly make new friends or groups. Like a sort of random button.

I will be quite sad if they're deleted.

I wouldn't be opposed to a second batch of cards some time in the future, either.


Also something that was brought up in discord. If these cards and the trade mechanism for them remains they could form a sort of player based economy.

I concur with everyone here. And it's not like other April Fool's Day features haven't been kept, so this would be great to have stick around.

I'd love the cards to stay! Maybe lengthen the cooldown on the lootbox if we're keeping the cards.

I've been thinking about this. I think the best way to handle this, if its decided this should be a regular thing is to do it in batches.

Once a year a new batch of nation cards could be released as loot boxes for a week, the nations available would be all existing nations which were not included in a previous batch. This would stop existing cards from losing their value(from constant creation of new cards), and to get everyone interested at the same time(because having it on all the time would quickly wear out the novelty and make trading tedious). This means that not only would new player get to be involved, but the cards would remain valuable, so it could be the basis for a player driven economy.

I think we should not only keep the cards, but add a gameplay element to it so issues and challenges aren't the only gameplay stuff around.

I am also really enjoying the mini game and would love for them to stay, the cool down period would have to be increased though, probably to something like once every day or two.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Do we know that card values don't update automatically? if not then that could make sense. Then then old ones would be rookie cards :P

Stop giving misogynistic abusers a platform. Anyone who sides with Tiktok Star Andrew Tate even 1% of what he says will be treated as enemy who should be shamed out of society. Impressions+Views+Videowatches=$. Nothing he says is new or revolutionary. I don't care if he said "some good stuff", it's still bad because: the more you watch him, the more ad revenue MONEY and algorithm BOOSTS you're giving him to traffick victims. And don't say the victim lied, a young man stupidly told me that the victim confessed to lying, I told em to link me proof, articles or the Audio of her confession, he googled and found 0 proof 0 articles, and he realized he was spreading fake rumors he heard and BELIEVED without fact-check. Don't brand victims as liars without GOOGLING. Debated here
