I am actually beginning to like the Coliseum

the loop is NOT working and they obviously didn't test it enough (if at all). there was a hotfix at the release of both new chars already. it seems that if you paid a bit for luke (like i did, 1 crystal pack both for mats and currency), ig-90 will weaken you unless you pay for him as well (which i think they didn't realise when they released the system).

at low levels the charactes do not have any interesting abilities, so the fights are incredibly boring, which is bad by itself, but even worse if you consider that we are stuck with those characters for a while, some of which we might not care about.

with the old system there was 1 week of marquee and if you did not care about the character, you were done with it. in the new system, you are stuck for weeks with it, cause ignoring it means you lose out on a juicy new currency. this is not a good way to release new material. well, unless... 😉

anyway, the new system need some real reworking. at this point it is not very good. hopefully it will not generate the nevenue they expect, then we might see some changes.

keep the coliseum (bossfights are fun), but also offer it for team testing, not only against bosses, but other players (maybe a seperate ranking with lowlevel payouts?). a few free fights/day, more at cost. this means money for you without seriously unbalancing the game (as any great combos discovered would soon be made public anyway). need more money? give people a way to get different skins. i am f2p, but i might pay cash money to get the old princess leia toon back. the new one, based on that TERRIBLE rogue one cgi-monster? not for me.

do not force people to play to advance through weird, convoluted systems that actually harm our enjoyment of the game. make the game as fun as possible and people will throw their money at you and love you for it!
