Arena gamess checking deck turned OFF

[tarongot]

What is point to that? Game has no hidden information like that. In normal games you can check your deck, but in arena where it is more important to know what you, and also what your opponent have its turned off? You can check on your own, by examine logs or makes notes, so where is logic there?

I strongly propose to change it immediately. It has no value at all. And also make you to see whole opponents deck. Same rules apply.

[Sideswiper]

I strongly agree. In an online game there is no reason to hide information that wasn’t
Secret to begin with… it’s not even a memory test.

This is the will of the game publisher.

The will of publishers is that for arena and realtime games people make notes or go through logs to get that info? It is not hidden, just need more work to get it.
If so publishers get big negative from me. They should focus on getting game better, because there is much work there, not making game harder for people, and decide how people should play game.

The biggest reason I've stopped playing the game is because of this and the unbalance of the 2p mode for the 2nd player, where if first player picks Earthfolk you might just lose in 2 turns if you are unlucky.

....

Not only Earthfolk, Firefolk also, and mostly Firefolk. And not only on 2 people game. In any players number game, If GREEN or BLUE ends in 1 step from YELLOW/RED they can be destroyed fast. Maybe in more people game that won't give destroyer win, but might, and for sure victim will lose. So no fun anyway.
With that size of map only corner placement is reasonable. I made proposal but not much feedback from BGA there.

In a 2 player game you can ban a section of the map. Like in IRL I think the play area is reduced.
