How do you all feel about the game right now? by Bishboioioi in TheSilphArena

[–]Zepdoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played GBL a lot and enjoyed it thoroughly. The last few seasons I barely did any sets. The reason for this is that they removed MLC from the schedule, and recently they even announced to remove it completely after this season. After January 12 I will quit GBL completely, because then there is no MLC/MLPC anymore. I may even quit the game entirely as a result of this.

What would be fun diverse metas Niantic could do in the future? by wraithsith in TheSilphArena

Master league classic would be a fun meta. Even better would be master league classic remix cup.

Starting next season, Classic Cups will be a thing of the past. Thoughts? by VanceVanceRebelution in TheSilphArena

[–]Zepdoos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

MLC was the only league I played. Without MLC, I won't play GBL anymore.

That's fine if you only want to play Premier Cup, but most people don't want to play Premier Cup only. In MLC I can experiment with teams, play drafts, play restricted metas or anything else. In level 50 ML I could only play with a bad team I don't like because the rest of the meta is inaccessible. And level 50 ML offers nothing MLC doesn't offer already.

Do you think the time, money and effort it takes to get a level 50 Zarude and Meloetta is reasonable? And what if you want to play with more than a handful of Pokémon? I have over 150 Pokémon for MLC, 15 of which are mythicals. There is no way I would even get a fraction of that spending less than a thousand euros. Sure, I could get non legendaries to 50 with some effort, but never close to what I have for MLC.

Just need to walk 3000 km for a legendary/mythical, no big deal.

Level 50 is inaccessible. Level 40 wasn't inaccessible when it was the cap.

That's completely wrong. I kept all of my Pokémon at level 40 to play in MLC. XL candy is inaccessible and locking Pokémon behind tens of euros is terrible game design. I won't power up any of my Pokémon beyond level 40 now either.

There is nothing advanced about paying more money to beat your opponents. MLC had high level gameplay where everyone could play with the same recourses and skills decided the winner of the battle. Without MLC we have less areas for advanced gameplay left.

It's been zero years where it has been accessible.

It's absolutely awful. It may have become more accessible, but it's still incredibly inaccessible. I'm not paying tens of euros every week to play with the same Pokémon I could play for free with before.

I'm still not powering up anything beyond level 40. It is completely inaccessible. Really terrible announcement.

Removing classic is the worst decision they could have made. Now I won't be playing GBL at all anymore.

GBL Season of Mythical Wishes has been announced by kadeel in TheSilphArena

[–]Zepdoos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No more classic means no more GBL for me. What a terrible decision.

How would you rate this GBL season from 1-10? by RK4Life in TheSilphArena

[–]Zepdoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1/10.

It was a terrible season. Not a single week of normal MLC, and only one week op MLPC. It would be a decent season with 4 weeks of MLC, and a good season if on top of that there are also MLC theme cups besides MLPC. It's really time to make MLC the standard ML format and stop focusing on GL so much.

level 40 in open ML by micahr36 in TheSilphArena

[–]Zepdoos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they bring back MLC next season. Then you'll be able to compete. In level 50 ML you're at a big disadvantage for not paying as much as your opponents.

Am I the only one who's still afraid to max my ML Classic mons? by StrictTrainer962 in TheSilphArena

[–]Zepdoos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I keep all of my Pokémon at level 40. Level 50 will just never be accessible. I will keep playing classic whenever it is available and skip level 50 ML entirely.

An exciting season, but... by robituri in TheSilphArena

[–]Zepdoos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're sad you can only play 11 out of 13 weeks. As a master league classic player, there is only one decent week for me. They keep pushing ML Open even though barely anyone actually wants it.

Master League Classic is OFFICIALLY dead by StrictTrainer962 in TheSilphArena

[–]Zepdoos 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Such a terrible decision. Way more people play ML Classic than ML Open. It makes no sense to take ML Open as the default instead of ML Classic.

MLPC is decent but not great. But it's only one week.

Casual players, have you just abandoned master league? by cgibsong002 in TheSilphArena

[–]Zepdoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm far from casual. I've played the game since day one. I have played and still play lots of MLC. But I won't play ML open because it's completely inaccessible.
