JUST GIVE GOING SECOND 2 GOLDS AT FIRST TURN, NOT 1

fmseries · August 2023

Now this game is too good for those going-firsts even with bad RNG to win the game and there is almost no alt method that going second can solve this very ez; I think the games are just generally going doomed when going first pick those nice combo cards with their adv for pick first. And it just happens in first few turns; This is why ppl crying for conceding penalty. We need to give more gold to balance this

Uh....if by some random chance, you don't pull a single power card in your first draw, and you get all 5 cards to be gold, how is it balanced to give the 2nd turn a possibility of 7? If you draw first and get 5, there's not a great chance there will be anything in your range to buy, or let alone introduce into your deck early game. Most people use the treasury first turn unless you're paired against a crow spammer or a druid spammer and you try to grab the low cost high performance cards. I have seen 2nd turn have incredible luck.

I suggested an alternative a few weeks ago. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/637499/first-player-advantage-possible-fix#latest

Hell no, a lot of matches there is a strong 6gold card in the tavern at the start, like the armory or those ansei 6gold cards with 4 power, and the second pick player will be able to buy that in his first hand guaranteed, basically guaranteeing his win. You see how bad that'll go?

The chances of the first player winning are already rigged in his or her favor as winning going 1st is almost twice as likely as winning as going 2nd.

The second player should get a Writ of Coin instead of a one-time additional coin. That's it.

Or allow the second player to have a free card removal from the tavern.
