Dark Elexir in store

[TheTorink]

Hi everyone

Just a role play suggestion :

Since "the power of Dark Elexir could not be contained in a regularly shaped Elexir vat", shouldn't it be displayed in a cubical storage in the store/treasure screen ?

Thanks for reading, sorry if bad English
Have a nice day !

Yeah, those do look a bit... round.

Putting them in round containers like that is dangerous! They could spontaneously explode! How careless!

Joking aside, Yes, for continuity, they should really be like square pint bottles, not round ones. Honestly, it shouldn't be hard to draw up a new icon for them.

Oh come on. Would love to see cube flasks of this stuff.

bump...

not important, but also not not hard to do (I guess)

please SC, we need this

[Kirrily]

This is unnecessary, but i do agree the description doesnt really make much sense...

I like it! Very keen powers of observation to discover this inconsistency.

And I would like to add it is very cool to see a fresh spawn posting a new thread that is original and in the perfect sub-forum with your very first post!

Theres a thread out there currently that people are suggesting a 200 post requirement to be able to start a new thread. I disagree with that idea, and your simple but substational suggestion is proof that they should not censor new members from starting new threads.

The new square flasks of small amounts of Dark Elixer is also a cool idea because you already know how much clashers like to see new art added to the game, no matter how small of an upgrade.

Thank you for the support !

I know that this small change wouldn't affect the game itself since it's only a visual detail on one screen but I really like this game and I feel sad that there are some contradictions between an item's description and its illustration.

Let's make this game even more awesome than it is !

Thanks for reading
Have a nice day !

Great idea. But can this be optional? I still perfer it in a sphere.

This is essential. I would hate to gem some dark and have the round flask break on the way back to the village. I haven't gemmed for loot as yet, but imagine that dozens of others have done so and the breakage risk is probably a deterrent for anyone who wants to spend their loot in this way. SEE need to implement this ASAP. It's in their interests after all.

The reason for the cubical form of storage, and the open top of the container, is to allow the extremely powerful dark elixir to expand when it has it's moments of unpredictable flux. Unlike the more common purple elixir pumped out of the layline, dark elixir is extremely reactive when stored in ever larger quantities, and almost explosive with it's reactivity. If it were to be put into a ridged spherical container, even a small one, one of these fluxes could cause explosive containment loss! The square sides of the conventional dark elixir storage bends and bows out when such a flux happens, but doesn't break, and the hole at the top for large stationary storage containers allow for even more pressure release for when particularly strong fluxes happen. Those super fluxes tend to happen at the zenith of a full moon, but there are other things that could cause it to do some rather frightening things. It took our alchemist much trial and error with small scale models for making the ingenious storage system, especially when taking into account it would be suffering from attacks from other raiders, and local villagers finding it entertaining to provoke a reaction from the dark ichorous substance.

Actually, I don't know why it is square, besides as a visual way to to show in game it is different than common elixir. The stuff above is just some story I made up on the fly with some game facts mixed in to add to credibility.
