PVP Change Notes July 24th 2024

It’s only temporary, while they work on “make the rest of the game a dumpster-fire mode” (nerfs). :roll_eyes: :joy:

Exactly. Theyve made it more accessible for people that were either A) too lazy or frustrated to fight stellari . B) dont have the troops to fight stellarix

So now ive got to do a lot more battles because they wimpified it for people

Let me fix that for ya.

“Finally i can play pvp without thinking and compete with players that put in the work to top their brackets against stellarix.”

Pvp is back to “who has the most time”

Now Im just going to throw out all my stellarix counters and nuke everything with my own stellarix.

It’s funny watching you become such a PvP elitist when your post history is you ranting, and I remember you being the main one, about troops like Takshaka and Stellerix in PvP.

Yup. Till i learned to fight them effectively i was one of their biggest bashers. Not anymore. If anything that drives my point home: if i can learn to dominate those teams anyone can

Nothing elitist about it either. I even posted teams that can destroy all those stellarix teams. One for each color day too. I learned to deal with those teams and was rewarded with easy pvp brackets because others didnt want to fight them. Now training wheels have been put on the game and its going to be down to “who has the most time” when it comes to winning your bracket. If not liking that makes me an elitist then i take that as a compliment. Thanks!

You are being elitist, it’s no compliment. You don’t get to be the only person who had the right to rant about these troops then go on to insult people for having all the same issues you have previously had with particular troops now that you have a solution, that’s not how this works.

Good for you, you worked out how to beat them, so can I. Some people still struggle and aren’t having fun. Maybe they don’t have the troops, the luck of RNG, or maybe their unit power is just too weak. Using such language as “wimpified”, “lazy” isn’t helpful. And not elitist? get outta here.

I take it as one though. :slight_smile:

Anyways not going to get into an arugment about this. Ive made my point.

But i do want to add that i acutally did try to help. I posted teams for each color day and how to use them. Imo theres not a whole lot of new players in this game and i feel like a lot of people can uses those teams at this point.

Honestly the problem isnt the troops but the whole system itself. I dont enjoy pvp at all. I only do it for the gold marks. Id be over the moon happy if pvp just went away. I dont enjoy doing hundreds of matches

Then understand that people are allowed to be frustrated just like you were. That’s my point.

I don’t like PvP either. I only do it to get shiny keys so I can get the Steam Achievement for 5 troops at shiny level 2. I could just use the achievement unlocker, but I want to do as much of the game legit as possible. Ideally, I wouldn’t have to touch PvP, but I still have many tokens to go.

You’re right. I was a little harsh. So sorry to those that took my comments as insults.

But look at it from my point of view. I was just like the people that wanted easy pvp back. I wanted the random teams cause i could zoom through it.

However i wasnt able to win my bracket because people had more time than me. Then the new pvp hit and i screamed to high heavens about it.

Then i started actually using the suggestions of other people. And suddenly i had no problem beating those teams. And suddenly i was winning my bracket every week because of it. People either not having those troops or being unwilling to take advice and change how they play.

So now those tough troops are out…and im forseeing having to do double the battles ive been doing to keep up with everyone suddenly being able to beat 90 vp blood frenzy. Not because they learned how to do it. But because the game was changed for them. Keep in mind i do have stellarix and now its ridiculously easy for me. I still dont like it because its going to mean more battles

Do you see how that would be frustrating?

I feel like there should be a “hard mode” that keeps those wand and stellarix teams. With higher rewards

There are – at the casual end there’s a steady churn of new players starting – but generally they don’t show up here in the forums. As noted already, the forums skew strongly towards high-level/long-term players.

Ok so i feel like they should have their own version of blood frenzy to help them catch up. You cant base changes thinking about every player in a gacha. I dont feel its elitist to think that newer players shouldnt be able to compete for the same rewards a 4 year player is fighting for. They should have to earn their way up and its on the devs to provide a way for them to catch up

Yes, I can completely understand why you’d be frustrated. Playing through PvP is an unenjoyable slog as is, so to extend it is not something I’d be happy with either. If anything they could have kept the Stellarix and Wand active in Bloodfrenzy zones, enter at your own risk.

Personally, I don’t think Stellerix is the issue… Well, apart from it not being a Boss type, mayhaps. Adding that would allow highly accessible troops like Godslayers to shine.

I’m glad we could seemingly come to an amicable conclusion. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Theres the thing. The people complaining about stellarix were complaining about stellarix in blood frenzy. Meaning they want the blood frenzy vp but dont want to put in the work for it. So you couldnt leave it in blood frenzy

Id be perfectly happy if stellarix is blood frenzy only. But it wouldnt fix the belly aching because as i said the people raising cain about this want the blood frenzy vp

Case and point. Ive done about the same amount of battles as #2. But because i do blood frenzy im 30k up on him. Look at his level. No way he doesnt have the counters. He is choosing to fight the easy battles

Im being rewarded for fighting the harder battles. I target 90 vp stellarix teams. And as you can see 90% of the time i beat them.

Now the advantage i got from fighting hardwr battles is gone. I fully expect to have to double the battles i do. Maybe not this week cause i got a head start before the change. But next weel for sure

Ps. Playing purple blood frenzy and i can tell you what the next complaint is.

“Diamantina is too strong!”

Im still losing the occasional battle, this time from too many skulls screwing up my wand matches

What I want to know is how is someone far along enough in the game to be getting Stellarix on enemy teams has nothing to use to web or silence it… or devour / instant kill it?

I can see where WoS can trip people up, especially if they don’t have it. Not Stella. But in the case of WoS that’s just a problem because of the supposedly fair rng. The one where I can regularly cast WoS 5 different times before seeing an extra turn and the enemy WoS always triggers an extra turn. If enemy wands were as reliable as player wands, even that wouldn’t be a big problem.

It’s best to remember new players are NOT facing Stella / Tak / Wand /Zuul etc etc in pvp. A new player at worst, might face a team with the most recent new mythic (usually on a team that makes no sense) or a team put together by a vet player on a new account (aka like a well synergized team of relatively crappy troops).

So this issue is not about new players at all.

My son is sub-1000 and has Wand Zuul Tak & 5 Cosmic Drags. He’s def the exception tho :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This is where the word “lazy” came from. They don’t want to have to work for the vp points.

This only applies to the people who can make the teams i suggested btw. I get theres those that dont have the counters

And you hit the nail on the head. Wand was my biggest trigger. When i use zuul or zuul 2.0 i always kill want before stellarix. Heck takshaka is more irritating. Speaking of which. You watch. We will see complaints about the “double zuul” takshaka now thats stellarix and wand are gone
