Treasure is a bit thin on the ground these days! It's currently taking up to 10 minutes to find a single chest and even for someone with my ocd tendencies, that's a lot of clicks for not much reward. Any chance of a top-up soon?

Also, there don't seem to be many members collecting or selling cards atm. I wonder why?

From my perspective these are the best and worst things about cards/treasure hunting on ACDB right now

positives:
- collecting stuff is awesome
- new card sets are added regularly
- cards are a good way to become familiar with series and characters you haven't heard of

could be improved:
- card sets with glitches/duplicates - if only there was some way we could fix or delete and re-upload them.
- 'my collected cards' still shows cards after you have sold them, so sets can register as 'completed' even if you sold all the cards as soon as you found them. It would be nice to have a page called 'my completed card sets', which only shows complete, currently owned sets of cards.
- In 'sell to ACDB view' you can't see number of copies you own of each card, so selling multiple cards to ACDB is tricky (you have to keep going back to 'trade' view to check which cards are duplicates).
- (as of today) there is no single button to click for random characters (you now have to use a drop down menu). Could you perhaps create a 'Character' button, which selects a random character if you click it, but which also shows 'random', 'random+', 'male', 'female' as drop-down options when you hover? (incidentally i feel that series and games should have their own button, rather than lumping them in together with characters).

just some food for thought. i hope that some of this is constructive/helpful rather than just sounding like me having a moan.

We were down to under 2000 chests on the site, but I went and added some more so now we're at around 12000. That should help a little bit in terms of being able to find chests without it taking so long.

Many thanks for the suggestions PunkHazard! It's going to take a lot of hard work improving and simplifying the features of value to members to get our user base growing again.

I'll start with bringing back a Random Character button, as that's just a couple lines of code. I am in favor of all the cards improvements you mentioned - it's just a matter of time for me to figure out how to code those solutions.


It's possible we'll need more people spawning treasure chests. Would you be interested in helping with that PunkHazard?

Thanks Eiki-sama for adding more this time. ^^

Hi Rei,

I love how fast you always respond to suggestions, keeping this site up and running while constantly improving things is an impressive feat! The new 'character' button is great and thanks so much for topping up the treasures Eiki-sama!

I'd be happy to help with spawning treasure chests, just drop me a line and let me know what i can do.

New Chest should be available to you now PunkHazard, as I have given you Admin Level 1 status ! ^_^ Let me know if it works.


I'm beginning to wonder if 15k max is too low ? lol Maybe we'll need 25k chests to keep a 1 in 3 chance of finding one.

wow yeah it was terribly slow to find chests, i was going to post something but i didn't know if that was a normal thing or not, i'm not old enough of a member to know how it really works.
but as you guys are accepting suggestions.
about the trade, I really think that should there be an option to sort by the cards you don't have and if possible to list it with lower pricing, cuz' other day I was going but till pg 50+ only seeing owned cards...
Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.
