Challenge battles are the only way that this game redeems the “pay to win” culture that is developing in mobile games. The way this recent change is addressing the basically giving up on the free2play community.

Who actually has units with 1.5 levels of the league cap? The top players have level 12 units, but the cap is 15 in tiberium. Am I forced to stay out of the top league because I like spending money on the rest of my life?

i love the change of removing 2x medals for challenge battles. It hurts me personally, but it’s smart. Unfortunately, reducing the triggers for those challenge battles at the same time makes the F2P player feel even worse about the constant bombardment of high level units.

If someone uses units that are a stat-check (units that do well against themselves like tanks), the only factor in how effective they are is the level. Any low level player who uses basic infantry, tanks, nod bikes, etc will lose 100% against higher level units. That would be less annoying if that weren’t best strategies for taking on someone with advanced units that are locked.

so, either we lose a regular battle against high level units, or we lose a challenge battle against high tech units, or probably both.

i use nothing but level 8 or 9 units in the tiberium league, and it gets frustrating to constantly fight rich kids with too much access to daddy’s credit card paying a company that is more interested in the whales than the rest of us. If you want a game that dies in 1 year, keep it up. Otherwise, don’t cater to the rich.

    you guys do realize that these changes make challenge battles better in every way?

    A) They are easier to trigger when you are a lower level. 4 levels below league cap instead of 3.

    B) You don't want medals from winning, you want exp. Exp gets you crates and unlocks. Medals gets you HARDER MATCHMAKING! Matchmaking is based solely on levels, so if you win a challenge battle, you went up like half a matchmaking bracket! Now you aren't punished for winning challenge battles.

    "The game is about strategy, but when playing with a half full deck, even the best strategist will loose to an average player with a significant superior arsenal! ... "

    This isn't the case. You never play without a commander. And the starting commanders are actually some of the best ones. Strongarm is used by some of the top players, and same with Seth. Yea, they aren't flashy with ion cannons, but you aren't at a disadvantage for not being able to use them yet.

    You guys need to calm down and actually read the patch notes rather than jumping down poor Dance's neck. All of this is to help you, the little guys. None of this helps the pay to win players.

      You missed the point, why should a level 10 players be stuck fighting players that have reached max level?? That’s the issue this game has. A bunch of scrubs are paying thousands to get units leveled up then losing to level back down in leagues. This shouldn’t be happening.

        This game is going down the toilet. You guys take more away from the game than you add. We can’t even invite members to our alliance?? These champion events are BS. I like a challenge but going up against players who’s 2 levels higher using Avatars, something I’m not even close to unlocking absolutely blows. It’s sad cause the game is fun but zero new features unless you count the laser drones which are pointless imo. Instead of trying to cash in how about working to improve the game and features. How about alliance battles?? That would be a fun event. Establish a in game chat so all players can chat and recruit. Why have to download another app? So much potential but if your getting greedy I may have to bounce and I’m sure others will too.

      "A) They are easier to trigger when you are a lower level. 4 levels below league cap instead of 3."

      There should be no stupid rules like this to trigger! If the enemy has 2+ level higher units its a challenge game. Nothing else to discuss further!

        😂😂😂 Clearly EA disagrees & only what EA consider fair matters... Life isn't F-A-I-R, why should a War Game be any different 🍻

        ... don't get too bent out of shape... Remember EA Has to provide abundant opportunity to Invest & Earn Profit.

        There's NOTHING significantly wrong with C&C:Rivals... Balance adjustments while important & largely to be expected to some degree, ARE still SECONDARY to implementation of NEW Content & Features.

        Stick around & Enjoy the Show, there's Plenty of Development Opportunity yet to come ... like ALLIANCE Territorial WARFARE ... be Glad You're Here For The Beginning 😎 👌
