We have another incident – today’s Suncrest/Stormcaller class trial featured these:
Also, I located my prior screenshot (taken when it happened back in February) so I’ve added that to my OP.
Combined with previous reports, all 3 incidents seem to share only team #4 being duplicated, maybe this is useful? After all, as stated previously if the teams were selected randomly with no “duplicate protection” then we would expect duplicate teams to happen constantly (~80% of the time) – even if only team #4 was somehow not checking for duplicates, this could still be expected to happen frequently (~40%), yet these duplicates are actually super rare in practice.
Also, here are a few ideas for this mode going forward:
- Shuffle the 5 Champion teams after each round is completed (all 5 champions defeated) – the fact that it’s the same teams each round is why this mode sucks to play.
- Add more teams to the mode, to increase the variety.
Additional team ideas
There seem to be 9 teams currently:
- Chief Stronghorn (Tauros / Wild Plains)
- Emperor Korvash (Human / Leonis Empire)
- Gar’Nok (Orc / Grosh-Nak)
- Hyndla Frostcrown (Giant / Stormheim)
- King Highforge (Dwarf / Khaziel)
- King Mikhail (Urska / Urskaya)
- Queen Mab (Fey / Glacial Peaks)
- Queen Titania (Fey / Bright Forest)
- Queen Ysabelle (Human / Sword’s Edge)
I see a theme that each team appears centered around a specific “ruler” kingdom Legendary (king/queen/etc) so … how about some new additions? For example:
- Goblin King (Goblin / Zaejin)
- King Avelorn (Elf / Forest of Thorns)
- King Silenus (Wildfolk / Pan’s Vale)
- King Triton (Merfolk / Merlantis)
- King Heliodor (Elemental / Nexus)
- The Silken Queen (Elf / Zhul’Kari)
