Website Support and Feedback / Coherent navigation throughout the site?
« on: January 07, 2014, 02:31:01 PM »
I'd love to have a way to navigate through the entire site without having to backtrack and click links buried in the page's contents. It doesn't even need to be the same everywhere (even though the current four navigations are really heterogenous), I'd just love to have a way to navigate around. And for new customers, that would make it possible to find stuff without running into dead ends.

In particular, I think the following things would improve the user experience:

  • Every "home" link should go to the same page - the forums if that's central, the frontpage if that's central
  • The homepage (and the downloads section as a consequence) should be reachable with navigation links from the forums
  • It should be possible to reach the spellbook builder from the homepage and the forums without going into the Website section, then the spellbook builder section, then the beta thread
  • There should be one place for news - currently, it's all sprad out over the forums and the front page
  • I'm aware that the spellbook builder is still beta, but a link from there to the other sections (home, forums, maybe store) would be nice as well

Of course, I have bookmarks for all the things I regularly use. But...

  • A new user doesn't have those and has to find their way around without prior knowledge about all the stuff there is on the site
  • There is no reason for me to need them, as navigation links throughout the site are easy to implement with a bit of custom templating
  • This isn't really about me at all, but about website usability

That's all  8) The attachments are just the four different navigation bars I found throughout the site, I hope I haven't missed any  ;)

Rules Discussion / FAQ / Errata out of date - current version planned?
« on: August 05, 2013, 08:49:45 AM »
The FAQ / Errata can currently be found in Dropbox, linked from two places:

From the forums via bit.ly: http://forum.arcanewonders.com/index.php?topic=12725.0
Directly from the soon-to-be-outdated downloads page: http://magewars.com/jsite/downloads

What's good is that both these links point to the same place (though one is a redirect and the other isn't). What's less good is, mainly, that the errata is not actually current ... it would be lovely to be able to point new players to one place that lists all the changes that have been made to cards, including the recent three card changes (http://magewars.com/jsite/item/159-tournament-rules-and-errata).

Is there a plan to release a comprehensive version again soon? Are you waiting for questions about Conquest of Kumanjaro to be frequently asked first?

Rules Discussion / Drain Life and surplus damage
« on: June 23, 2013, 03:07:08 PM »
Hi there :) First time I'm posting here.

I was wondering about Drain Life and what happens when it deals more damage than the target's life value. Assuming my mage targets an enemy creature with life 4 and no damage with Drain Life, and rolls 6 damage.

Does he deal 4 or 6 damage? And as a consequence, does he heal 4 damage, or 6?

A reworded question could be "is damage dealt one by one and it stops being dealt when the target is destroyed, or all at once and the target is destroyed after all damage has been dealt?" - the rules seem to imply the second in this sentence:

"If the object suffers damage equal to or greater than the Life value, it is destroyed."
