Don’t stop believin’

I didn’t copy and paste :man_shrugging:

Sorry to have upset you by being repetitive in my phrasing. I wouldn’t think it’s strange that my posts are fairly consistent, both in content and presentation, but I guess others might disagree.

For future this is what a copy-n-paste from me looks like in any post that isn’t a template (so data-gathering tables only, where all I do is copy the format to fill in the info, like in the Arena Data Gathering thread). The forum automatically formats it, and I don’t undo the formatting:

I agree with the above, covertmuffin123’s just said it more succinctly and with less clapback.

But I chose to meet sarcasm with sarcasm when words were put into my mouth.

But WAIT — I am not infallible! :joy:

I just realized you want the Devs to stop copying and pasting, not me :rofl:

Ah, well — the post is written, and I still don’t know how to strikethrough, and I can’t bear to just delete it all because I took the time to write it and I’m not the best at letting go.

But to address what you actually said, now that I’m understanding more clearly (I hope!):

Yeah, I’d like to see fewer cookie-cutter things in the game, too. I think the teams I’ve been facing in the event are pretty varied compared to other events (slogging through the same dozen teams in delve events is a real chore, for just one example), so I think it’s at least a step in the right direction, what they’re trying to accomplish here.

Does it actually feel new? I don’t think so. Fresh, sure — at least, fresher, since more than the usual roster of troops is on display, but it’s still not as varied as it could be. And it might get old if this particular set of troops becomes as old-hat to me as the delve teams are.

But for there to be something that actually feels new I think there’s going to have to be a radical new game mechanic. I was hoping the Nexus would bring it to us — an Overworld where some totally new thing (a Horde Mode, maybe, or a heaven-space where all previous content would need to be unlocked Celestially, and to do so would be really hard but would allow 5 team slots or something, a better idea). Alas, we didn’t get it.

I’m still waiting on a lot of actually-new things we haven’t gotten: medals that do unique things rather than just stat-buff being chief among them. Heroic gems that don’t break the game or introduce more randomness are another.

Please don’t think that just because I think World-Events-without insta-win-medals is better than World-Events-with-insta-win-medals that I in any way believe the former to be perfect.

Journeys aren’t perfect.

They just don’t strike me as being broken, either.
