Hero Up! Super Hero Squad Online Card Game Discussion

[CenturianSpy]

I've opened five Venomous Boxes, but I still haven't opened an unreleased card.

What's a ballpark percentage of how often they appear?

I opened 24 boxes. I got 15 cards from unreleased quests or the Dark Justice Set. The %'s are all crazy because I believe it is based on the Squad (heroes and items/cards already owned).

Thanks for the info.

Just opened three more because I got my monthly 500 today. Unforetunately, I just got more growth and shrink potions.

At least I'm getting some rares and super rares from Unleashed and Villains Fury in the uncommon spots.

I dont play online- however I just need a Thief and Rogue card to complete my first set-- I will gladly trade multiple rares (or super rares to finish this set off)-- any help would be appreciated--

Trade Feedback is all over the web under stewbacca (AFI,Rebelscum,SWCards,FBTB, and Im sure more I have forgotten -- (ebay is stewie)

Would really appreciate it..

I'm pretty sure it is entirely luck and chance, or I shouldn't be getting mostly Rise of Heroes cards. Out of almost the same amount of boxes opened now I have maybe three unreleased cards.

I am a huge fan of the card game and I am very sad to think that the card game is dead. Today I was thinking about some various things gazillion could do to bring the card game back and promote it to SHSO players that ignore the card game (other than just releasing some more quests and packs, which would be great, too). Here are five of my ideas:


1. Card Challenges- have a separate challenge system that rewards exclusive card quests instead of heroes and requires card collection score instead of squad level to progress through

2. Sell Extras- have a "sell extra copies" button (or make it automatic) in order to sell all copies over 4 of each card you own in return for silver (or gold for hard-to-get cards) or maybe a separate currency that can be used on exclusive quests, packs, singles, etc.

3. Increase PvP Rewards- increase the # of tickets/silver awarded for winning and make the reward card more rare (maybe even a random unreleased card) instead of rise of heroes, which most players have plenty of already

4. Singles Rotation- have a rotation (daily or weekly) of single copies of cards available in the shop: cards from RoH and silver quests for silver, cards from Unleashed VF and gold quests for gold, and unreleased cards for even more gold

5. Release Another Physical Set- make a third physical set with more exclusive online rewards and advertise it better this time around; could even make the wrapper codes reward better packs or unreleased cards

6. Trading System - have a way for players to trade with each other; can be restricted so that players cannot take advantage of inexperienced kids

Tell me what you think! If I get good responses, I may send a ticket with one or more of these.

P.S. Mysteria, could you maybe pass these along? PLEASE?

EDITED 4-22-13 TO ADD TRADING

Really like these ideas. I used to love the card game but with basically no new content since the Nova quests I've grown tired of it. I think what they should do is make it an actual trading card game. Maybe I have a rare card my friend wants and he has 3 copies of medium-rare card I want. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRADE! It would also be cool to see a market type thing where players could sell their cards for a price of their choosing. Lets say I got a rare unreleased card but I don't really want it I could put it on the market for like 40 gold. They could even have auctions in the market thing. These along with your things I think could "revive" the card game.

I like the sell extras and increase PVP reward ones. The single cards in the store would be nice too especially if that means they won't be a "rare" thing in mystery boxes
I think villains cards should be added to the wheel though, that would probably attract more people as well.

The only thing about trading is that it would be easy to take advantage of kids and it would be way too easy to create a bunch of free accounts and "trade" with your "real" account.

I hope no more exclusive card heroes come out unless they are easier to get.

As a moderate fan of the card system, I greatly support the first three (not saying four and five are bad, they just doesn't appeal to me as much). I especially like the idea of having a special "Card currency" so we can sell off extra cards without Gaz being worried we'd sell them ALL just to get silver (if they would be worried, or whatevs).
A little higher xp would also be nice, I'd be more likely to try and level my unwanted characters with card quests/pvp (beats the drudgery of tokens and troublebots)(unwanted characters being "I want this guy, I'm gonna buy him. Oh man, his powers suck. I hate playing him." obviously)

I'd be against increased PVP awards. Too easy to rig matches with friends or make new accounts and play against yourself. If you want to increase the reward for winners then it has to come at the losers expense. Each player should have to ante up "X" gold for a PVP and winner takes all.

My number one desired mechanic for the card game is still a trading system between players, that's a big part of the fun in any TCG.

I didn't mean gold rewards, just another ticket or two and some more silver or XP.

As for trading, though I already said I didn't think it would work, the more I think about it, the more it grows on me. If it were restricted in some ways, such as 2 commons =1 uncommon, and 2 silver cards = 1 gold card, etc., then it might just work. However, it seems like it would be a nightmare to code. I guess I don't know much about coding though, so... I'll edit my original post and add trading as an option.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Keep them coming!

Folks, I understand the game is sort of cooling off, but want to find 2 cards in particular. I'm a Doctor Strange collector and have managed to track down all his physical Superhero Squad Trading Card appearances except 2: Aura Drain and Astral Haunting. If anyone has either, I'll be willing to either trade over 120 other SHS TCG cards (including multiple rarities) for the pair. Send me an email at mailto:howardlarryhallis@gmail.com if you can help me!
