I always worry with these threads that the devs might take them seriously. 3 v 3 brings a bit of fizz to the game. It’s unpredictable and pushes people out of their comfort zones - which is where all the best bits of life happen. Remember Ray Bradbury said that the secret to life was to jump off the cliff and learn how to grow wings on the way down.
Me and my Wampa are looking forward to the headlong rush towards irrational death very much. See you there!
People want more variety in the game. 3 vs 3 would be perfect if you did not lose crystals by making wrong decisions. With a sandbox-mode where you could test teams composed of three characters, it would be much better.
How dull would it be if there was no jeopardy attached to our decisions? It’s not a primary school sports day where everyone gets a prize for trying - it’s (ahem) an, well it’s a little game on a phone - but still my point stands. Decisions should have consequences- that’s agency.
TIL, practice is for losers?
Seriously, what is this take? Anyone who wants to prepare for something is a participation trophy hungry snowflake? Wut?
It's not like NFL teams spend hours prepping for their games... oh wait, they do. Actually, the only group I can think of that doesn't are little kids or casuals.
No that’s not what I wrote - although feel free to elide what you want. I think practice is good. But GAC isn’t practice. It’s real PvP competition with winners and losers. The point I was trying to make is that decisions should have consequences and jeopardy is good for enjoyable competition . Interesting that you use NFL as an analogy as in my opinion it’s a terrible example - there’s hardly any genuine jeopardy as everything is sewn up by the big franchises to protect financial interests. The draft system & lack of relegation deadens a real sense of jeopardy. Association football is much better - like the English Premier League - where there’s so much more at stake.
You responded to someone saying they want a practice mode by insulting them. Perhaps you can clarify how giving us a way to practice counters before using them in GAC is somehow coddling people?
No I responded to their statement that it wouldn’t be so bad it you weren’t punished for making wrong decisions. Like I said I don’t have a problem with a practice mode. Quordles got one and I enjoy that
You compared the wish for a sandbox-mode with primary school. If you don't need to test stuff, don't use that tool.
No. Although I’m genuinely sorry if you misconstrued my reply - I really didn’t want to hurt anyones feelings. I was specifically responding to your statement “ People want more variety in the game. 3 vs 3 would be perfect if you did not lose crystals by making wrong decisions”. Which I disagree with. However I’m all for a practice mode
Apology accepted. It seems, though that it was not just me who got your words wrong.
As I wrote a sandbox mode will not guarantee a win. On the one hand you still have RnG and mods (especially turn order) and on the other hand you still need to decide which teams to use for defense and what you keep for offense. Also if several fights you tested work, you have to decide which one you want to use in the real battle, trying to maximize your banner. There is also still the fog of war and some strong teams might catch you off guard
