Captain's gambit

Playing card games is boring and ruins the game.The armada feature has been a dead loss as well.What I want is something to stop people with ten times the amount of so called friends as me killing me with one hit without me having to befriend 500 plus people I would never talk to in real life!

 

There are a couple things you can do in regard to adding clan. You can purchase up to 1000 Chieftains from Davy Jones. And you can also add people from the add me thread, then delete them from your facebook or MySpace friends on your social network profile. They will stay in your Clan on the game. If you de-clan them in the game however you will have to send a friend invite to add them to clan again.​

 

How does this 'ruin' the game? I completely understand that some people find the Captain's Gambit boring/tedious but in what fashion does this ruin the core game? It costs no Energy, Stamina, Cash or Health to play and you stand to earn XP, Cash, Items and Favor Points. This would seem to be a net gain.

I am not saying that you have to like it, but your criticism of the Captain's Gambit and the Armada is not very constructive. If it were more constructive perhaps we could address some of the issues you have with these features more directly.

 

Just a thought on the Gambit flow.

I've posted previously that I actually like the cards & I like the choice to play or not.. it gives me something to do while chatting with other clan & waiting for GP & refill timers.

What would be really nice is if the High low could be continuous. The next bet on the last card seen laid down rather than clicking Deal Card for the next turn.

Something else I did notice, there is supposed to be 52 cards in the deck however in one session with 24 chips, I came up with 6 to 8 queen cards that popped up.

(not that I was counting cards or anything of the sort.. )​

 

The issue I see with your suggestion is that the 'Deal Card' state is the only time in which you set your wager. If we removed that then whatever you wagered for your first hand would carry through for the life of the current game with no way of changing it.

Were those Queens all the same suit? Regardless that is 'how the cookie crumbles' some times. There are only 13 unique symbols (2 through A) so a Queen should only come up 1 in 13 times but obviously you had a larger run than that

 

I'll have to pay attention to the suits next time.. I have 32 chips waiting for me right now.. lol.. I'll let ya know..

As far as the Deal Card, I see your point in the wager amount. I don't change my wager amount personally, but I suppose if you really wanted to change your wager you could refresh or perhaps add the wager option somewhere under the cards?​

I believe some complaints are about the number of hands, 85 is way too much and you have to play a lot of times during the day to complete it. when people have work it´s hard, of course its a nice feature, free gifts money and un points,but it would help if a 4 chip bet would count as a 4 wins, we´d still have to take the same time waiting for the chips and would reduce boredom of playing hand after hand.

 

maybe have a slider for multi hands at once?just a thought

 

It doesn't ruin the game, but it doesn't really add much either. I'm pretty sure whoever came up with this didn't actually sit there and try to win 91 hands or they would have realized how craptastic this game is. Either buff the amount of cards earned from challenge help (preferably by 3-4 times more) or at least give a choice of doing a Death Deal or Shooter. I've ignored the higher level Death Deals in VC and stuck to the Hunter Challenges. I'll take a 5% chance at favor points over a 100% chance at boredom.
