I didn’t copy and paste 🤷‍♂️

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 want to agree in principle, but I played the event to 20k points with no losses and most matches under 30 seconds. Bought 3ish potions of power total when I ran out of sigils. I’m worried about the next event, when the troop and weapon selection actually is hopeless and we don’t have medals as a crutch.

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! 😂

I just realized you want the _Devs_ to stop copying and pasting, not me 🤣

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, fresh_er_, 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.
