Just gotta say, I absolutely hate the Colosseum

So far, the best thing about this update has been the compensation gift for how bad it is. I’ve been trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. I’ve been playing now for days and days hoping that maybe something would change. But logging in every day and having my mismatched team get obliterated in one or two attacks…Is less than fun.  A game is supposed to be an enjoyable and interesting activity. At the very least. this is complete and utter garbage. Zero options other than spending money. This. BLOWS.

    Coliseum isn't fun for me but it's also not, uh, negative fun. It doesn't hurt me, you know? I do a couple of battles a day on auto and that's it. 

    I think with the 1337 threads whining about the Coliseum, CG have got the message that a few people have a few issues with the anniversary update. Do we need another thousand? CG staff are on holiday. They don't really look at the forums in the first place, they're certainly not doing it now. We're just talking to each in circles here, really.

    Right, but it's also no fun, and they promised that they were prioritizing fun. I think it's fair for ppl who aren't having fun in the game mode to say that here, esp given CG's insistence that fun is a priority and they won't know that they've missed that mark unless we tell them.

    I continue to be amazed how so many avid gamers can have low standards for a soon-to-be 2026 game development company in a world that has made the average smartphone have better graphics processing than a Sony Playstation 2, followed by 24 years of game development experience.  

    So much of these gamers' idea of "get gud" for CG is of.the quality the 1st Nintendo put out in the 90s.  

    Then, there's the $2,000,000,000 number supposedly attached to it along with Disney's name.  

    Yes, given all that, I do actually expect more amd better.  Much better actually.

    They said they're keeping feedback about the game's time requirements in mind and because of that, Coliseum is designed to not take much time--and it doesn't.

    I continue to be amazed at how much energy some players have to look at the forums and post things without thinking. 

    Conquest units are not in limbo for 3 months. Their models are added to the game, but can't be used at all. You can manage to go the full 3 months without even seeing their model in game. We are now forced to see these unusable units and interact with them for months every time we open the game.

    2 minutes per day goes directly against what the developers said they were going to do. They claimed that our time mattered and the content should be good (Colosseum is not) and worthy of our time ( Colosseum is not). This is a daily event for the sake of a daily event. They have not made any changes that alleviated the time spent in game recently. The last changes they made was removing one TB and allowing us to sim a few events.

  • Coliseum is a stain upon this game and it is no fun to play. Clearly "fun" was the last thing on their minds. It's not even worth calling it a game mode since you don't really get to play it. You have so few options that there is no possibility of forming a strategy before it locks out the damage and your team is hitting for 1 hp when you need thousands more damage just to reach the next milestone.

    It's a gated rage fest of slop. Every time you think you've gotten ahead or cleared the next milestone CG amps up the difficulty exponentially. Upgrading these characters between levels has virtually no difference or benefit the next time you play the run.

    To make matters worse. CG made this game mode exclusively for the fact of removing galactic challenges and the ability to play test teams or a way to gain achievements. They don't even give us options for who these characters are good with. We're just supposed to guess what team they go on or read their ability descriptions for references to other characters. CG doesn't want us to have fun with any of these character and see their full potential on a proper team with synergy. This is just the most lazy unfinished garbage we have ever seen so far.

    I don't care that we get to unlock any of these characters for free at the end of the era. I have no interest in any of the characters while using them in Coliseum. It's not like we get to fully unlock them either when they still require stars to be farmed at a much later date. I hate everything about this sloppy lazy excuse for an event that greatly takes away from the game and the drive to want to play it.

    I have been playing for over 10 years and have spent money on a few things in the past. Nothing is even remotely worth spending on these days. CG likes to play their tired out gimmicks to get all the fools to part with their money for nothing in return. Somehow it's working out really well for CG, so they couldn't care less about what the people who have kept this game going for the past 10+ years think.

    I continue to be amazed how much mental energy some players dedicate to hating something that takes 2 minutes per day to complete. Era units are in limbo for 3 months, no different than conquest units. You will use them properly in February.
