Have you played less PVP this season? And general gauge of enthusiasm

Was just trying to gauge people’s enthusiam. I dont know how to make a poll or i would.

Ive got 22k VP this season after 560k last season. The reason? The devs stubborn refusal to change anything about how seasons work

Several factors have utterly killed my joy for this game.

  1. 560k vp tp get the season immortal to 20. For someone who doesnt see this game as a job and wants to not spend hours every day on it this is not a realistic goal.
  2. Burning chests containing silver marks. I will not open a single burning chest so long as this is true.
  3. Journey still existing in its current state.
  4. General lack of new content. And i mean NEW content. Give us a new way to use our troops. As it is i do 6500 vp for gold marks, do my guild stuff, and thats my week.

I feel like the devs no longer listen to their players. Im assuming this thread will be deleted since its critical of the devs but i think its important for them to understand: the forum players are your most dedicated players, if they are unhappy you can bet the majority are. We are the ones who care enough to comment on this game where you can see it…and right now i feel this game is ok the wrong track. Its an easy fix though. Please start listening to us.

Last season played more to figure out what the best strategy was to get things done without spending to much time in pvp. Few days ago finished the challenge for getting to 5 in the monolith battles so now just doing 2 monoliths to 3 until that is done and won’t deal with that anymore then.

So overall play less cause of the plan that was made based on the information gathered from first season.

Given the lack of difference between finishing 4th in my bracket for the week and finishing 23rd in my bracket for that same week? I see no point in playing huge amounts of PvP when it’s been months since I’ve had a bracket in which I could finish Top 3 without making that one game mode half of my life. Which I won’t do.

I do just enough PvP to work through most of the seasonal objectives, the “total VP” and “get the season’s immortal to level XX” being the two I won’t bother with. Also, enough PvP to farm the available Gold Marks, so Citadel Wars when that’s available and the follow-up bonus regions the next day. I’ll probably do just enough to get to 220k VP over the 11 weeks of the season, but if I don’t make it to that benchmark so be it.

Honestly, I’m running close to last season. But… next season will be largely ignored by me. It’s just not sustainable. The reqs are sadistic.

It definitely doesn’t help the next season starts with Christmas/New Year. Maybe it’s a me thing, but I’m not going to be around during quite a few parts of the next season.

I play a lot less this season, main reason is that I don’t like at all that they add 2 more immortals. That mean it will be almost impossible to level them to the top without spending

Me too. PVP teams still vanish. It was promised to be fixed, but I don’t see any difference.
I skip regions with mana potions - it just takes too long.
I wish there would be some extra burning chest or any other reward every 20k points just to motivate me.

I’ve pretty much decided getting 800k is not worth the time this time or in the future. It takes way to much time to get 3 “passive books” worth of gold marks if you rush it from the beginning of the season. I’m at like 250k at the moment this season. I don’t care what I get VP I get to anymore. The time spent for the reward is trash and not even worth it at all, and the devs don’t care. Let’s not even start on this kick in the dick of an event for the 10 year anniversary… Mythic is trash, Legendary is trash, Rewards getting the brown dust is trash. They better have something waaaaaaaay better than this. I don’t think they care at all anymore honestly… and it’s quite sad. I played on and off for 10 years and have donated/spent over 10k$ to keep development of this game going and to support what devs I once thought did care long ago.

Also if you are going to keep throwing offers in peoples face, how about you make them realistic, these prices are insane now days. We have no reason to buy any of these anymore. At least listen to your most dedicated players… This will all fall on deaf ears as usual. But if not, I really hope you listen before it is to late…

WHAT A PARTY, I’M ECSTATIC! BEST ANNIVERSARY YET!

TLDR: Enthusiasm is gone and sucked out of me to the point where I just want to get my reqs done for my guild and be done for the week. I know many other feel this way too now days.

Just doing the absolut minimum each day in PVP for the gold marks:

monolith to 5 → citadel battles → gold marks → valravens → done

The best part of that: You get relegated to ruby every now and then and get some extra gold marks going back up.

More to get to 180k vp faster

Definitely playing WAY less PvP this season than last. Resorted to using GAPs to rush PvP for bonus points, so I don’t have to play as many battles, and still have nowhere near as many points as last season.
Main reason is the last PvP season burned me out. I didn’t even go for the 560k, because I got sick of having to play so many battles every single day. Especially having to do monolith battles even if I didn’t need to, just because that was one of the challenges and the amount you need basically means you can’t skip a day on anything.
I realised, much like the one-hour tributes to make you keep logging in regularly, the challenges were more about trying to force players to get into the habit of playing tons of PvP and playing the way devs want you to, and I refuse to be controlled like that, so this season I am ignoring monoliths, as I was before, and only playing as much as I want to, for the basic rewards. I’m not going nuts trying to earn high levels of VP for dumb challenges that give burning marks that might just give worthless rewards like silver marks or icons.
Seems like all the recent additions to the game are making me want to play it LESS, not more.

I’ll get the necessary 150,000 to buy the legendary with silver marks (at this moment it looks to require about 1,400 per day to hit the mark just before the season ends).
Other than that, playing as little PvP as possible - get the gold marks, still some hunt for Valhawks because of the monolith battles task (when done, I’ll ignore this part).

Technically no, because I already played ‘less’ last season :rofl:. I primarily played then for gold marks and that’s still my only goal this season.

I have stopped opening burning chests though. That feels even more pointless if they’re adding 2 Immortals per season.

I play less than last season, because I’ve overdone it. But I would play more than what I’m currently doing. Since the game doesn’t allow it, I play less overall and spend more time on the loading screen or copying teams into the empty PvP selection …

I have to say that my enthusiasm has greatly waned. 560 VP is just too much to shoot for to get all the rewards. I really have better things to do with my life than just loop battles endlessly to earn about 200 VP per Blood Streak regions (or whatever its called).

I also have no interest in trying for the leaderboard every week. On the rare occasion I do get in the top 3 - I find it a chore to stay there as there is always somebody more compulsive than me vying to push me down. I have to spend hours playing and staying logged in to hold my position. Its really annoying. Maybe - if the leaderboard was daily instead of weekly, this would be more of a challenge and I can opt to take days off.
