Duelyst Forums

A LOT of Suggestions and Feedbacks!

before i begin i want you guys to know that i do realize there is a script out there that can make some of these work but i’m talking about the things inside the game itself not something the community can add to it.

Also i’ve been playing the game for 4 seasons now.

no point in wasting anymore time:

  1. I think it’ll be great if we could see both players hands when we are watching games in the Watch section.

  2. We should be able to set the game to fullscreen / windowed mode in the setting tab.

  3. The boss battle UI is really annoying, after we clicked the box in the main menu, the position of the black box with the word “your opponent” seems out of place, why not just put it on the bottom right side of the screen? there seems to be a lot of space without having to block our decks.

  4. Where is the back button for the Match History? obviously there should be one.

  5. The game that we are watching in the watch section should have a time slider instead of the fast forward button, it’s really annoying when I miss something by a few seconds and I have to re-watch everything from the start again.

  6. There’s this super annoying bug where the general BBS animation don’t play even though it’s ready except if we hover our mouse above it, please fix it.

  7. Sorry to make a reference to HS but i think faction cards should have the looks of the factions, right now everything has the same blue background. i think overall the game would look better.

  8. The battle log is horrendous, it doesn’t show when things got killed, it doesn’t show what affects what in what way. please make it clearer.

  9. i have quite a few friends in the game and i noticed this bug where if you click on a friend, whenever you open the friend tab it will always show that friend to me, it’s really annoying especially if i clicked a friend on the bottom(regardless if the person is online or not), i have to keep scrolling up everytime i open the friend tab until i click another friend that is online or the one that are alphabetically placed on top.

  10. The music loop, i can hear it ending and starting again, it’s very annoying. i like the music but the looping part shouldn’t be apparent like that. (i honestly like some of the music)

  11. spells card animations don’t play if you play it, it only plays when you hover your mouse above it, i mean it’s a cool visual effect, why not show it more?

  12. if i open Gauntlet tab and then press the top left back button the music will stop playing.

  13. somehow when i’m watching games in the Watch section, the player hands and movement and everything seems wrong, sometimes they play cards before it even appears in their hands, things lags behind and so on, and my pc isn’t the problem for this one.

  14. Turn timer, i think when you open a battle log there should be a circle indicating your turn time, like the circle starts at fully blue and then it runs out. this isn’t necessary for most people so i think adding it on the top of the battle log should not hinder anything also the danger timer at the end of your turn time should still exist as is.

  15. most of the time i’m chatting with my friends while talking about cards, i really want to be able to chat while inside the collection tab, it’s a pain to go back and forth between those 2 just to see the cards and go back to the chat, it’s clunky and doesn’t feel right.

  16. i want there to be a way to permanently tag cards which i’ve already unlocked the lore for.

  17. there should be a setting to auto disenchant things that we already have 3 copies of.

  18. in the information tab when we clicked a certain card in the Collection, the orb/expansion where it originated from should be mentioned.

  19. can you please add a higher res Map and pictures in the Codex section? also information on specific part of the map when we click or hover on it. i want to know more about the world of Duelyst.
    might perevent this from happening

  20. sometimes i need to log out from the game but i can’t do that in the steam version, i think we should be able to do it since when we first ever launch the game we need to log in anyway.

  21. in the match history we should be able to see the opponents factions. it would make it much easier to identify the best match up for our decks, see the trends in ladder and also makes it easier to find that specific replay we are looking for.

  22. this game is on steam, it make sense to have a lot more achievements for example:
    *dealing 1000 damage to heroes
    *casting 5 spells consecutively without summoning minion
    *deal more than 25 damage in 1 turn to the enemy hero
    *reading / listening to all the codex
    *and a lot lot more.

  23. add in “disable all effects” in the setting, sometime it is ridiculous that we miss a turn or plays due to the length of the animation.

  24. the Bloodborn orb looked way more 2D than the other orbs.

  25. it is impossible to check on our referrals right now except when we just launched the game and or hasn’t chatted with anyone.

  26. there should be more visual indication of buffs that are going on, for example, a minion that has deathstrike seal, or astral phasing. sometimes we forgot about those things because there’s no indication except if we hover our mouse on the unit, the battle log also says nothing about who gets buffed.

  27. we should be able to see how many chevrons we have in the profile menu.

  28. Shadow creep can sometimes hide under a unit to the point where it is really hard to spot, i think when a unit that will get damaged by shadow creep stands on it there should be this slight animation on the shadowcreep like it’s hesitating to puncture the unit, when the turn end i think there should be an animation of the shadow creep puncturing the unit for eye candy.

  29. the quest progress tracker that appears after we make progress is blocking the screen and will take some time to go away if we don’t click the ok button, it doesn’t need to be and it add an extra click after every match, it should be positioned in such a way that we can see it but it doesn’t bother us, for example top right corner, well corners.

  30. there has been a problem with the “we hit a snag” thing that happened in the game, sometime a winning game counted as a loss, sometime it doesn’t count and sometime we can’t reconnect, please take notice of it, it’s been here a while.

  31. it’ll be really nice if every single minion has their own voice or sound effects.

  32. it’ll be really nice if every minion has their own animation, for example shadow dancer and 4 winds magi, yes they do the same thing but shouldn’t they have different animation? i can suggest a few if need be.
    shadow dancer, she has 2 swords it make sense that she should use it. when anything dies on the board there’s an animation of her appearing next to the enemy general in shadow form and slashing them for 1 damage and heal for 1.
    even if all the tiles next to the enemy general is full it’s just an animation.

  33. please add a number somewhere around the “Disenchant Extras” which indicates how much spirit we’ll get if we hit the button

  34. please add a confirmation when we press the “Disenchant Extras” button, if it gets missclicked it cannot be reversed so, to reduce the amount of missclick on such a huge thing i think there should be a confirmation after clicking it.

  35. Crimson Oculus attack animation is really sad.

  36. if i alt tab the game sometimes when i return to it, its just a flat white screen with nothing in it.

  37. sorry to make a reference to HS but HS is always ready when their player do crazy stuff for example one of Duelyst player which i forgot the name of summoned a grandmaster variax in vaanar. there should be an awesome version of vaanar’s BBS, it’s something that will never happen but when it happens it’s really hilarious, just attention to details.

  38. please add more solo challenges :frowning:

  39. the pack opening animation is wonky.

  40. the sound for clicking a common, rare, epic, legendary crystal should be different just for a nice touch and little more excitement when we get a legendary.

  41. it would be great if we could see whether a card is created by something else or not like in HS. for example when a xho created a spell and the opponent uses it we should be told or when L’Kians created something and the opponent use it…

  42. i fought this guy once, but i lost to him twice, later i added him and asked what happen he said that i failed to reconnect? nothing happened and i was handed a free loss and somehow i didn’t reconnect. please fix this.

  43. pressing enter anywhere should open up the friend tab and set us up ready to chat the last person we talked to, it’s way more convenient this way since most games do this too.

  44. the summoning sounds of creatures in HS successfully shows the character of each minions, Duelyst can use something like that to enrich the game.

  45. it would be great if we can use mouse scroll to browse through collections.

  46. there should be a visual indicator when something is dispelled.

  47. the basic problems of the game (battle log, visual indicator of buffs and dispel and some else) should be prioritized before the launch of the mobile platform so that the new players that join in from the mobile release won’t have to experience it and thus reducing the chance of them not liking something.

  48. for new players it is hard to understand what a certain card produce for example
    chrysalis burst spawned 4 eggs which they haven’t memorized the name yet
    this is an issue, clarity is very important, so instead why not put a small image of the card it is going to spawn beside it?

i’ll add more as the time goes.
also i’m sorry for the horrible grammar, English isn’t my first language and this is the best that i can do. XD

This is actually possible

Why?

You’re not watching in real time, that’s why.

They’re working on it.

it’s not the question of why, it should be that way, the game should be clear for everyone even for those who just starts to get into digital card games.

i don’t want to see their thinking phase i want to see what they do, but if that’s what i want to see then i have to bear with everything moving weirdly and lagging behind?

true, i’ll delete that one. thanks a lot.

Cool list, I do think a few things need a lot of polishing before hitting mobile. One small thing I would add is extending the Match History so that it also shows the faction of your opponent. This way, it would be easier to spot what is popular on ladder, and what are the best / worst matchups.

dude, that is a very good suggestion i haven’t thought about. awesome i’ll add it right away.

Good suggestions, the Battle Log is the main thing I want to see improved. In general most games don’t have that great of a battle log but I think that Duelyst unfortunately has one of the least informative. If I ever go to the bathroom or answer the door in match I usually don’t even try to read the battle log, I just accept the board as it is.

is this the right subject to put these in? the Suggestion section?

Thanks for these suggestions mate! Lots of cool stuff :smiley:

One thing I would really like to see changed in this game is when it shows your quest progress after each match. I really wish it wasn’t large and right in the middle of the screen. It takes a fair amount of time to go away if you ignore it and there’s a delay between when the notices appear and when you can click them away (understandably so you don’t click too fast and can’t see what they say).

I would much prefer if they were smaller and placed at the top or bottom of the screen so they aren’t blocking other things you’d rather be looking at or clicking (since they block your clicks as well).

eeeeeeey Dev replied, thanks for the attention man.

agreed with that i’ll put it up.

really liking the new pending icon btw.

I like a lot of these suggestions but one I particularly and strongly agree on is the battle log. Could be and should be significantly better. Shadowverse has an excellent and easy to copy battle log.

Hm, yeah this is relevant to Ui :thinking:

Ooooops

yeah mean, battle log is an important part of this game, at least it should be.

really want it to be comprehensive.

Good list - nearly every suggestion would make the game better.

if you would like to add something that i might have missed feel free to do so, maybe CPG will actually make most of these suggestions into reality one can only hope.

I enjoy this game a lot, but there are many minor flaws. Great list, I hope they fix all of these with priority on number one.

To add something else to the list:

I want my enter (line break) button to enter chat. This not being a thing tilts me to no end, no other program or game comes to mind that doesn’t open chat on enter.
