THE EYE OF JUDGMENT- FREE CARD FRIDAY and INFO ON NEXT UPDATE

+ Posted by Mark Valledor // Marketing Manager, SCEA

FREE CARD FRIDAY

As promised last week, we wanted to thank all the patient players of THE EYE OF JUDGEMENT with the chance to get some free cards! These are very rare SET 2 cards that will only be available through promotional channels. So if you are an EOJ fan 13 or older (sorry, remember its a Teen rated game) all you need to do is hit this LINK and tell us where to ship to. Sign up quick as we’ll be providing to the first 500 US and Canadian addresses we receive (or until supplies last). Sorry, one address per person, repeat addresses will not be recorded.

Good luck and enjoy!

Network Update - Version 02.01

We got a message from the EOJ team about an upcoming update that will help fix the concerns that have been surfacing since the SET 2 release. You will see that the team has been paying attention to your concerns and is dedicated to fixing them.
_________

Greetings from the EOJ development team,

This is information regarding the details of the upcoming update. Considering all the feedback from EOJ players, the next update is planned to add new features and to adjust a balance of the game. Currently, the EOJ development team is conducting tests so that the new update can be implemented in the near future. Once the date of the new update has been set, it will be announced.

An additional feature of Battle Animation’s detail settings
If you own the Set 2 Expansion pack, the next update will add a feature to the Battle Animation’s detail settings (SELECT button during a replay), which is currently implemented to “Show replay” mode, to the duels on Battle Arena mode. This addition allows players to set more detailed Battle Animation settings, such as “OFF ([R2] ON)”, “Ultra rare+”, or “Singles Only”, etc… in Battle Arena mode.
* This update only applies if you own the Set 2 expansion pack download
Errata notes to some of the SET.2 cards
In order to improve the quality of duels, a modification to some of the creatures’ abilities will be made. The modification will improve the game play experience for EOJ players. The adjustments are planned for the following 5 creature cards: Noram Zealot (#121), Aluhja Zealot (#137), Visvar Vaas Zealot (#154), Tolicore Zealot (#169), and Biolith Battleship (#184). More detailed information on the adjustments would be released through Errata notes on our EOJ forums and Official Community Sites as soon as the modifications are finalized.
Additional feature for intentional disconnections in Online mode
An extra measure which disturbs online play will be added. When a player disconnects in any way during an online duel, in addition to the current system that imposes a penalty on the player who intentionally disconnected, the new system will grant Honor and Rank points to their opponent whose duel was disconnected against their will.

Your cooperation to continue operating a sound community is sincerely appreciated. Thank you very much for your participation in online duels and following the rules and manners.

Team EOJ

Thats it for us today. Enjoy the weekend.

Mark

I actually didn’t think it would grow much at all….but thanks for your concern. It’s some form of indication until Mark posts details.

@Mark Valledor:

1- You really really like to work on friday night do you???

2- On the Playstation forum, one canadian member had a good point that scared me a bit… Your web page was not really canadian friendly. If we didn’t put anything in the state field, I really hope our application won’t be discarded because that field was left blank??? (Put city, province and Canada all in the city field… He did the same, so I guess we are not the only one!

3- Sorry for your server, but wow, that was fun! Very good recovery, I’m sure your IT guys had a good sweat. You owe them pizza and beer for sure! Shall we call the Guiness book of Records?

Mark Valledor replied on May 2, 2008 at 10:09 pm

1 - blog post are addicting
2 - I see your point (we’ll look into fixing this, but pretty confident things will be fine). If not, we’ll do a Canada only make good.
3 - props to Jeff and his team

Jeff Rubenstein replied on May 3, 2008 at 12:22 pm

Props, Mark? The man said beer. Anyone have access to Yuengling? We can’t get it on the west coast

thatsmartguywiththefro | May 2nd, 2008 at 7:00 pm

seriously, we should get some recognition on the blog for getting +1300 comments! I think it would raise awareness of how popular EOJ is for newbies.

I’m pretty confident that I got the cards, since I submitted the info around 5:20, I hope the cards are shipped soon!

159

benjiedude | May 2nd, 2008 at 7:01 pm

If you did around 5:20 that’s the earliest time reported and you probably did.

I hope I get them!!! Hooray for EoJ!!!

Mr.Mark..Question?
We had a Tornado come through where I live in Arkansas, and of course I was in the middle of an online EOJ battle with someone at 3am. The electricity went out in the middle of the game and the power went out (Not to mention we had golf ball size hail, 65 mph winds, broken trees and light poles, and a tornado that just skirted by me.) When I signed back online it showed a “Forced Exit”. I sent an apology to the player I was battling, but I am wondering how that affects my honor points? I can’t find anything in the manual on “Forced Exits”.
THANKS
PSN:frostquake

Mark Valledor replied on May 2, 2008 at 10:13 pm

I’ll ask our producers and the team in Japan. (I’m sure they’ll read this too)

Chuck Lacson replied on May 8, 2008 at 2:03 pm

Hey frostquake- the team read your comment and wanted to reply- With the current system, there is no way to determine if a disconnection was made on purpose or not so your points probably decreased on the ranking board like other disconnects.

Sorry, on the bright side it sounds like the Tornado missed you and you are alive and well.

It’s funny hearing everyone talk about getting free cards when they’re missing a more important point: THANK YOU FOR FIXING THE ZEALOTS!!

I’m on vacation now and can’t play but found a internet cafe and found the good news. Sadly, I think I’m also too late for the free cards.

But I do hope that you can fix these broken cards so that I can play again. It’s really been stressing my game out. Looking forward SOON to these fixes and will lay low on the random games until then, because we all know that people will be using these cards like crazy now since they’re broken.

Thank you for all that you do, Mark.

LegendsEnd | May 2nd, 2008 at 10:01 pm

Hmm I signed up pretty much as soon as it came up but I have yet to get any email confirmation… Does that mean it didn’t go through? (I used a gmail account)

AlphaEtOmega | May 2nd, 2008 at 10:22 pm

Dang, thats a sweet picture of Battle Master. ^^

DEATHICIDE | May 3rd, 2008 at 12:18 am

@tristanmike

I really could care less.
Was just trying to give pyramidparty an idea of when the first submissions came in.

As fas as being a “filthy Canuck” goes, just remember it’s you all who sit around in the heat all day sweating, not us from British Columbia

frostquake | May 3rd, 2008 at 12:44 am

Mr. Mark..Question?
Does “Blocking” a player met online on my PS3 keep me from playing that player on EOJ? Everytime I come across someone with an all “Zealot” deck, I block them on my PS3.
THANKS

Mark Valledor replied on May 3, 2008 at 6:45 am

I believe blocking deals with the XMB buddy list and them not being able to chat / message you.

174

ainur | May 3rd, 2008 at 2:27 am

I have one idea:

Zealots: dont rest 2 of summon cost for the other zealot, only 1.

and their habilities with a 50% of probrabilities. like dodge

I think it can be a good form for end with zealots.

@Mark Valledor:
“Sorry, no confirmations via email (we didnt ask for e-mails, just addresses, due to legal limitations). We’ll follow up with a list of people who made the cut”
This page was asking for our E-mail!!! Otherwise, shoot, I was on the wrong page!

@Jeff and the IT team:
From a IT guy to you, good job guys, been there, know how painful that must have been. Please don’t kill Mark, we really need him, he is the greatest guy on this blog!

@Ainur:
I would kind of like having habilities at 50%, but simply give them 3 blind sides, and I will be so happy to oblitarate them one by one… No matter what though, I’m sure they will come up with something great.

Mark Valledor replied on May 3, 2008 at 6:49 am

Just noticed that…that must’ve been a small last min change. Then I’m sure we’ll confirm, I’ll check with Chuck next week.

3 blind sides is a good form too ^

You guys DID ask for e-mail address Mark. The link is still live. Go and check it. So if you did take our e-mail addresses what “legal limitations” have been violated?

My mistake, see 173

Kallel00 | May 3rd, 2008 at 6:17 am

Really am glad with the upcoming change to disconnects.

I know it`ll suck for you guys who get legit disconnects due to power failures or similar events, but you people really need to stop complaining and see the greater picture here:

For each legit disconnect, there’s probably a hundred false disconnects from people purposely trying to avoid a loss (or to avoid giving you a win).

So really ask yourselves which do you prefer, losing honor once in a while because your electricity went out, or waste dozens of hours playing matches with no finishes because your opponent disconnects before you can place your 5th creature?

179

Kallel00 | May 3rd, 2008 at 7:35 am

Also, Canadian addresses not really a problem.

Enter province abbreviation in state, and enter Postal Code in zip code.

I think it’ll be obvious for them that if an address has a postal code and a canadian province abbreviation, it’s going to be for Canada shipping =p

180

Real Gambler | May 3rd, 2008 at 8:09 am

Kallel00: It’s kind of a reflex for us canadians though… If a web page ask for a state, usually, it’s the abreviation, and quite often, if you try to enter an abreviation that is not a state one, it won’t take it…

Since this was a first 500 entry, many canadians likely didn’t bother to try to see if they could write a province abreviation into that state field, loosing precious seconds that could mean being in or out of the 500…

Anyway, I guess everything will be fine since Mark said so… Worst case, it only means that they will have to read all 500 winners addresses and make sure they are printed correctly… It would just be sad to see some of those precious cards being lost in the mail because the addresses are screwed up…

hunni.lee | May 3rd, 2008 at 8:47 am

Hi Mark,

this is my first post ever here at the playstation.blog. So, a noob here ^^.
And i made an account just for this thread:
I really appreciate the playstation.blog especially the Eye of Judgment post and comments.

But why isn´t there something for Europe?
The work you deliver is great but i want this cards, too. ^^

Do you have any influence to provide promocards
for Europe, Germany?

There must be a way…please make it happen…

Best regards,

hunni

psyran | May 3rd, 2008 at 9:23 am

Hi Mark,
If you can pass up to the developers that a way to reconnect after accidental disconnection would be great! I can’t tell you how many points I’ve lost due to the PS3 signing out on me. If only there was a 2 minute window to sign back in to resume, I think it would make a huge difference to honest gamers. This idea came from someone in the forums, just passing it along.

183

thatsmartguywiththefro | May 3rd, 2008 at 9:27 am

Whenever I play EOJ online the network disconnects about halfway through the game. I think I’ve only been able to play one full game online, so recently I’ve been sticking to local games.

Does anybody else have this problem? I’m using a wireless connection, and am not sure if it’s MY internet connection or the PSN.

Thanks.

mikescool | May 3rd, 2008 at 10:47 am

i played this guy with 3X Zealot of each kind, and then 2 of each color cubes except white, lmao…

187

GonzoBobH | May 3rd, 2008 at 2:02 pm

@164

Sure hope you and yours are okay. Honestly!

My smart A** Question: During your 3 am match were you playing a Zealot deck?

188

bishopkoko | May 3rd, 2008 at 2:24 pm

A note on disconnects. The PS3 is very moody with online connections for almost everyone I know. It pops me out constantly, thus ending games. It does the same to my biddies all the time. I had to stop playing ranking matches which totally sucked. I have like 15 dishonorables, yet really never did 1 dishonorable act. I finally gave in and called Verizon and had them set up a Datajack in my TV room so I can now hardwire my PS3 to the router and now hope to have no more disconnects. So anyway, I read constantly this is a major problem and that peeps are doing this on purpose and just wanted to say how much I fully believe that in reality this just isn’t the case as much as people think it is.

Anyway, I don’t mind the new rules for disconnects. In fact, I like them and think that they are more then fair. Shame on me for having a bad connection. And my heart truly bleeds for anyone who had to see a close game with me end (Or a blowout if I’m being totally honest). So understand by no means am I whining or asking for a relaxation of the rules. I just think there’s a larger issue here that no one is addressing.

And to everyone, on a personal level, I again apologize here to anyone that saw a fun ranking match against me end prematurely. It really wasn’t my fault and I am totally sure that now that I am hardwired to the router I will be pulling my hair out when a disconnection happens to me.

189

bishopkoko | May 3rd, 2008 at 2:26 pm

Man, how many of these lists am I on at this point.

190

GonzoBobH | May 3rd, 2008 at 2:57 pm

@ 186

Happy to hear you got fixed, honestly.

As far as “I fully believe that in reality this just isn’t the case as much as people think it is.”

Don’t assume your integrity is the norm.
The community as a whole is much better off with the new rules that we have strongly petitioned for.

And now that your connection is fixed, welcome and happy gaming!

191

Shacks | May 3rd, 2008 at 3:43 pm

So when will there be a confirmed list of who is getting this game? Will it be another blog post, or put here?

192

Shacks | May 3rd, 2008 at 3:43 pm

errr… Cards. LOL

193

ShadowKoneko | May 3rd, 2008 at 5:07 pm

If there are no confirmation emails can you guys please at least post when they are estimated to arrive and by what way?

40cal | May 3rd, 2008 at 9:55 pm

Hope I did this in time. Got the thanks message. I am so excited about the new cards. My wife loves playing EOJ with me, its one of the only games that I can get her to play.

197

frostquake | May 4th, 2008 at 3:01 am

Mr. Mark…Question?
I’ve contacted the marketing department at Prima Guides asking why they don’t have a detailed guide to EOJ and Cards, but have not heard back as of yet. Are their legal reasons why Prima or other guide publishers have not compiled a detailed EOJ guide book yet?
THANKS

198

zelmo | May 4th, 2008 at 5:06 am

@frostquake
The prime selling time for a strategy guide is typically just prior to or concurrent with a game release. With EoJ having been out for so long it is highly unlikely we’ll get an official guide from Brady or Prima.
In another post, I offered to do a limited run of books if Sony would grant permission/approve the use of art assets. Content could come from the EoJ community, like lbshooters guide and black cubics card tips.

@Mark, who do I need to contact at Sony to see if this is even possible?

IMBATMAN | May 4th, 2008 at 7:23 am

I’m well over $1,000 spent on this game I hope I get my promo cards, I complete’d my set 2, I have all 210 cards now. Been play’g since the release, I play with a friend he’s only missing 1 card, I hope he get’s his promo cards too. This is a great game. If any one lives in or around Salem Ma. I found the best place to get your eye of judgement cards. a comic book store called Harrisons if not for Larry, at Harrisons I’d would still need to collect set 1.
