We found something that didn't work. That's, by the Edisonian paradigm, not necessarily wasted effort. That being said I too had certainly hoped for better response.
I don't know where you draw the line between "major change" and "complete overhaul". A lot of features are obviously consistent in both systems. My impetus for action here is that there are a couple of features of the presently running system that I do not like, namely a) Random selection of cards from a deck, b) Necessary maintenance of defenses in four dimensions.
Whether it is the objectively right priority for us to spend time on is, as always, a good question. Hindsight is always 20/20, and I don't think we should be too afraid to experiment.
@ Everyone: Very grateful for the feedback. We'll push something new to the test server before anything goes live.
