Hiya forums,
Sorry not sorry for the clickbait
Long time player, new to the forums, but I wanted to share my experience and feedback

First of all I wanna say the game is fun! It brought me back to ESO in general w/ this update and I don't regret it, so thanks for that ZOS.
I have however made a running list of feedback point over the first season, and I feel this is the time to share, so here goes.

*****************************
MAIN GAMEPLAY SUGGESTION:
If you only read one thing let it be this
---Have the top card of the tavern be face-up for all to see---
We all know there are certain must-take cards at the moment, and I'm fine with that, what feels bad however is giving one to your opponent 'for free' by having it be dealt from the tavern after you buy something. I already see it leading to forced stalemates where neither player buys any card for fear of giving the opponent a near free win. This is contrary to the spirit of the game imo and would be neatly solved I feel with the information of the next card being public, shifting the game more toward rewarding decision making over the luck of the draw. If not this exact solution, I would still love to see something addressing this issue in future versions of the game.
*****************************

Bug fixes:
-Ansei 'choose one' cards removing the highlighting of purchasable cards and patrons
-'frozen' matches where you queue into a match and it stops before giving anyone the option of choosing a patron deck, the only option being to concede and take the penalty.

Balance:
-Sorcerer King Orgnum: the patron power takes over the entire game and is overwhelmingly in favour of the first player, the idea is interesting however and I have several suggestions:
*5 gold patron power that flips fully from unfavoured to favoured like Ansei, the gold cost slows down the start of the tug of war over the hero power and has increased swing potential ingame
*2 gold patron power where moving from neutral to favoured does the same as now (1power/6cards), but moving from UNfavoured to neutral is what buying him already favoured does now(1p/4c + boarding party). Buying him when he is favoured would give you 2 flat power and a boarding party. This way you risk a lot by just buying him once, but if you can double patron on one turn, you get high rewards! there is already patron synergy in orgnum's deck and it even fits flavour-wise where you send out your raiding party but if you don't return home you leave your base open to be raided back

Suggestions:
-Change or remove the concede penalty at least while the queue system becomes more robust (I understand the desire to prevent win-trading, but it's doing more harm than good)
-Speed up animations and change what things we need to wait on (waiting on the animation of your opponent's next hand being drawn to start your turn etc)
-When 'acquiring' a card of up to X cost, display that 'X' in the text, so often I play 2 hlaalu cards one giving 5 and the other 7 cost cards but they trigger together and it is unclear
-When you order cards in your draw pile with Psijic cards, I suggest displaying those cards in order when hovering over your deck after tossing. ideally highlighted.
-More visual difference in what window is popping up, maybe a colour border to differentiate Toss, discard and 'move to top of deck'.
-Fully integrate 'rightclick' as a cancel, so far only a few things like hlaalu patron use this, but it would be nice to see it everywhere
-A play history, I very often miss what my opponent is doing or their deck reshuffles before I can see what they bought etc. The combo tracker is the right idea, but honestly the least useful thing to keep track of
-Display the total power/prestige/gold that will be gained from using patrons in certain situations (crow, Orgnum...)
-Display the number of cards in draw pile separate from hand and played
-Turn timer sound more of a crescendo to give a better warning, the countdown on screen is small and the sound is steady, no clear difference between 10 and 5 seconds for ex.
-Emotes! (I like the social parts of the game and being able to chat during the game, but if your opponent takes an ebony mine to reveal another ebony mine, you just need to be able to instantly react with disbelief :P)
-Player rewards per season to include titles 'Season 1 Elite Cardshark' or something similar perhaps for the top 2%

Thank you all for reading, hope to see you in game!
