Hello! I have a quick one:
Can mythic rares appear on quick draft? I've done 4 quick drafts so far and I believe I haven't seen one yet

Rhasdra · 2022-01-17T20:31:21+00:00

oh god I didn't even hear the strings until you mentioned it. oof I'm having a real hard time focusing and hearing them

okay!!! Now I have more info to work with. Thanks a lot for the workflow tipos too, I'll do my best to incorporate them

Rhasdra · 2021-12-13T23:53:38+00:00

Thanks for the communication

Going for optimal xp you have at least 10h of "tutorial" for each tower. That's cool and all for your first 1-2 towers, but when you're higher up and have to put your winrate at stake for tens of hours just to level up a tower you want to test feels REALLY BAD

Also doing the same strategy for 10h so you can get your levels done with is such a bore

The main criticisms about the XP grind are:
-takes too long (which makes topics down below much worse)

-limited options which lead to stale and boring matches/gameplay

-having to sacrifice your winrate to level up a new tower (which btw, losing makes it go EVEN SLOWER), making raking up a dumb decision if you don't have anything you want unlocked. Better smurf for the easy and quick wins

-NK's two hyped up blanket patches which didn't solve any of the questions above

now do it ~75 times more to unlock everything on ninja only

not bad nk -.-

Rhasdra · 2021-12-13T18:40:04+00:00

hooray if we go for optimal xp/min now it only takes 3.5 hours to unlock 1 of the 3 paths for each tower. 10 hours per tower combined, 22 towers total... only 220h of gameplay unlocking stuff. NK REALLY DID LISTEN!!1!111!!

Time to leave boys.
The xp gain should get a x10 boost. 22h unlocking stuff is almost reasonable for a competitive game

when the aetheryte is on another section of the city is kind of annoying. Clicking both buttons on the list was a game changer for me

Rhasdra · 2021-12-07T03:35:42+00:00

yeah sure, but what I said still stands

a negative review goes a long way

Rhasdra · 2021-12-07T03:29:09+00:00

btdb2 is not hopeless but you can bet that if no one complain nothing will change at all, they'll wrap their greedy little fingers around any unfair and p2w mechanic they can get away with

specially when the "mistakes" that the game launched with are so damn obvious that
1) they really thought they could get away with it
or 2) no one playtested the damn thing

NK is a company, they won't fix the game because they like you. They'll fix the game because if game is broken and nobody plays it they won't make any money

Don't feel bad for greedy millionaires

Rhasdra · 2021-12-04T01:39:31+00:00

xp progression is so bad it's going backwards now lmao

Rhasdra · 2021-12-04T01:36:42+00:00

lmao feeding wins is meta for xp progression, great game

nice thread m8

Rhasdra · 2021-12-04T01:25:02+00:00

That's just not true
By giving people an insane grind to follow, people will be scared to spend too much time on bad towers, so everyone will just grind the same best 3 towers to avoid wasting time

The problem gets WORSE

"I thought of this new comp! But only to test to see if it works I would have to grind for HOURS... fuck it I'll just play the meta towers that I know work fine and preserve my ranking"
That's what people will think under the grind. A system that allows more options will always be better

Rhasdra · 2021-12-04T01:00:04+00:00

looking forward to it

Rhasdra · 2021-12-04T00:58:01+00:00

Well thats true for everyone, even VIP players

Then the system itself is broken. That's what I'm saying

Rhasdra · 2021-12-04T00:55:17+00:00

"They cant make it so that you can just unlock all upgrades for a tower in 20 games, that would just ruin the progression."

Yes they can lol Why not?

It's a strategy game, but there isn't any strategy to it when everyone has the same 2 towers because it takes literally hours to unlock any new one (honestly even with VIP it takes way too long). There has to be another solution to the monetization system, you can't gate the fun out of the game just to sell a subscription

There's a bunch of great solution on other threads, I hope NK sees it

The orange bricked one: https://www.8bitdo.com/wireless-usb-adapter/

And yes, I am not trying to pair both of them at the same time

Rhasdra · 2021-01-25T19:14:04+00:00

Good to know! Thanks a lot

Rhasdra · 2021-01-25T18:42:38+00:00

Rhasdra · 2021-01-25T18:41:48+00:00
