Triple Traid 4 star cards

[Kalise]

It's always frustrating and a little confusing that we're restricted to 1 card that is 5*/4* per deck.

Meanwhile like every NPC has decks with like 1-2 5* and 2-3 4* with a few 2* and 3* to make up the weaker parts of their deck...

Why are we limited in such a way?

I can only think of it trying to prevent newbies being screwed in Tournaments because PvP will have those people with decks full of 4/5* cards would be at an advantage over the people who haven't unlocked many (If any) yet. But really, that's less of an issue as you can just PvE and get a decent score for Tournaments as well as earn a bunch of 4* and 5* cards from PvE (You know, when you manage to beat these NPC decks full of 5* cards with Chaos making it pure RNG where you hope they put their cards in dumb places)

Just kind of annoying to be getting all these cards and they're just useless since there's often just a 5* card that's better than the 4* cards and then you're stuck with filling up on 3* (Since, again, 3* tend to just be better than the 2* and 1* cards outside some very specific decks such as Reverse and some Ascension decks)

I just played a TTC with an NPC and the rule was Ascension. The crappy thing was that he has 4 and 5 star cards so every time he played a any cards that are related then they get a plus 1 or 2. The best I can do is tie with him. The really should let us have a combo of 5* 4* 4* 3* 2*. With some off the NPCs out there with 4 and 5 stars you are luck to bet them.

The deck restriction on players is overdue for change. There's a few different options they could implement but it's already been discussed a lot for years. Lack of purpose for 4-star cards is one of the most compelling reasons to do something. It's just one of those weird lingering issues which gets passed over due to being low priority, I guess, when compared against a lot of other tasks the same team members have to consider.

Maybe 90 cards is too early. With each new expansion there are a number of new cards and new players added to the world. The final few stages of powerup perhaps should take longer.

I do hope though, somewhere near the end of progression, that we can have a deck with unlimited 5 star cards in it. If we have to gain our 4 star cards one at a time... 3, 3, 3, 3, 5 becomes 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, and so forth as we start doing harder and harder goals.

Once we earn our 4's, then harder challenges still before we earn our 5's.

To keep this from getting out of hand against other players, at some part of the progression we have to win a tournament, get a given number of tournament wins, get a given number of tournament cards, and then retire, permemently, from tournaments to cash in and get an achievement that starts to unlock additional 5 * cards.

These final challenges get to be insanely hard in my dreams.

To go from 1 unlimited card, to 2, I've already listed that you have to be done with tournaments.
To get your third unlimited card, you'd need a win against every NPC in the entire world, and to keep it you have to keep having the wins.
The fourth unlimited card? Some insane number of wins under every possible circumstance. Roulette, random, plus, reverse, 10,000 wins under each of the rules.
The fifth unlimited card requires you to have had every card in the game.

I actually like this idea on reddit with destributing stars, allowing you a max number of stars:

It would be so easy for square to fix TT, It's kind of lame at the moment...

Replying here because I want to use as many 4-5 stars as I could in a deck. Those are earned and should not be only stay idle in your pockets.

It’s actually quite stupid that they have not made the rule change yet on how you can use your cards. I fully understand not wanting to discourage new players .But by their own rules they cheat, so I don’t see what the difference would be. It’s not like 4/5* cards are all that hard to get just time consuming. At 246 cards i hardly ever use 90% of them, what a waste.

I think, one thing they could do is unrestrict your deck, but make rewards based on total star tiers. Win with a weaker deck and you get more MGP for the win and have an increased drop rate on the cards.

I hope we get 4* cards unlocked. A lot of great cards are just sitting in the inventory and not being used.

At the same time, there are npcs out there using as many 4* and 5* cards as they like. I'm still trying to get the Hien card but the npc who drops it is incredibly hard to beat (tons of rare cards plus chaos rule).

I understand that it's meant to be challenging, and that in itself is fun. But sometimes it feels really unfair.

Bumping this thread to say that removing limitations on 1-3 star cards but keeping the 4+ star cards is bad. Please at least make it so we can only use 1 5 star card, but let us either use the rest as 4 star OR at least allow us to use 1 4 star and 1 5 star card in our deck (the rest can be 3).

It's ridiculous and unfair when you're paired against an NPC who has multiple 4-5 star cards while you're only allowed 1.
