šŸ§Ŗ The Beta Beat (V67) - Master Emblems, Dragonspire, Astral heroes, Construrct Heroes, Beach Party heroes, Super elemental heroes -- Sharing the Big Picture on What's Going on in Beta

I dont care to rehash the BBU discussion again. Too many people around here like to crow about numerous aspects of it, whilst doing nothing to try and improve the game themselves. Ultimately, the update didnt go ahead, SG just pivoted to a different way of shafting us all. It was positive to see a good number of peopleshowing support to a player movement. I hope people are willing to mobilise like that again in future.

I did touch on this in my feedback yesterday after cleric trials. The existing set up of the trials is definitely more than challenging and we have to remember when we go back to live we wonā€™t have a full arsenal of double lb maxed heroes all with 25 emblems. The trials should absolutely be more difficult and tougher than the existing trials given that the reward is the equivalent of alpha breaking emblems- to put in perspective.
That said every level of player f2p, p2p l, c2p deserves and equal and fair opportunity to complete the challenge quests. It n the existing set up of the challenge I think a lot of players will have a hard time, but the ones that struggle the most will be the f2p and these players shouldnā€™t be forced or pressured to spend to be able to continue to compete in a game that has already tested that.
More than anyone else in the game l, the c2p and f2p players are going to be the ones who need these challenges as many of the p2p will likely just buy emblem pkgs.
I think the game needs to take into consideration a level of fairness for everyone and thatā€™s why I recommended S3 style tiles and hat give either a bonus to dmg or att or healing or wtv to help out players with smaller older or weaker rosters.
Iā€™m not F2P and I can see myself struggling without all the existing bonusā€™ for beta testing- but Iā€™d also say F2P is not the core metric of this game. Without the p2p none of what weā€™re discussing will even exist. For lack of a better description this challenge needs a balance update ā€¦lol

This is why I generally avoid using new heroes when testing new content in beta. I only used heroes/items that I have on my normal account. Although others have commented that even using master emblems on all of their heroes still isnā€™t easy.

Eh, itā€™s not fair to begin with, which is to say ā€œfairnessā€ is overused and lacks a deeper meaning. Master emblems wonā€™t change this.

Thatā€™s fair lol. I understand and agree. Itā€™d just be nice to think that when they finally do launch this that they take every type of player into account when setting the toughness- the right medium between hard enough for the deep roster but achievable enough for the avg roster
