So they dropped the reward for arena battles by 100, challenges are much more difficult. Just another way to make the game grindier and get you to pay. Stop paying money for this stuff!!! It will only lead to heartache, I promise you.

And added 100 to your Daily challenges...still the same net tokens.

Which still forces you to grind and finish the daily. I have a job, a wife, and a 2 week old baby. I can't always finish the dailies. The 400 per day was nice.

3 battles. 6 minutes of total time to squeeze in throughout the day if you're already playing it casual. For instance, the time it took to set up an account cruise through the forums and post you could've gotten 2 battles in including the 8 minute cooldown.

I can't beat tanks anymore. If they have a taunt and healers to back them up, my entire team will frequently die before they do, let alone if they have stuns. I used to one-shot them with 86, which I admit is also bad, but this is by no means better. A few other character have been taken down from their thrones, but in their wake they have heralded the reign of the RG. I know, I could probably beat him if I changed my teams up, but I shouldn't have to base all my strategies around a single character

The more I play it the more I think they did a good job. They still need to smooth it out tho. Arena time limits etc.

Overall I'm glad they are trying to improve the game. They need a beta test tho so patches hit the ground running and not needing more work.

To those complaining. Really?
CG tests at lvl 80 and 90 I'm sure they have a vision beyond today. I personally think this is better then one hit knock outs and I feel confident damage vs defense can be achieved. Last patch was too much offense.

I've been playing the update for two days now, and I still can't complete a challenge. It's stupidly frustrating.

I'm lucky to have some extra time today, but it's not always the case. It's simple, they want to entice you to be in the game more, so they lower the daily reward, uptick the arena daily achievement token to balance it. If you're in the game and playing more, the more likely you are to pay more money. I get it, it's only six minutes(not including cool down time). But my time is precious and it's an annoying and obvious change to me.

You have ruined a wonderful game! I have got six friends to start playing all or us p2p and we are all devastated! How can bosses on a gear level only slightly above my own have double the health. The challenges are now arduous, frustrating and time consuming. I can no long r complete levels that i have previously completed and can use sim tickets on despite the fact that my characters stats, stars and gear levels have increased: ridiculous! have spent close to 1000 pounds in three months: you should be offering money back to anyone unhappy with the changes! You have completely changed the game, if I invest in a product, I do not expect that product to be changed without consulting the consumers!!! You had a product which was fun compulsive and addictive, that product no longer exists and I am incensed! Money back please, there is legal presidence for a law suit!

I think something must be wrong with the patch itself. It seems like my characters are underpowered now, but the computer controlled side doesn't seem to be. If anything, they seem to do more damage than before (same characters)

In GW, my team of lvl 66+ 7* toons can not kill even one character when going against a group of 5* lvl 60 and under. I played the same battle over 15 times and not once did I kill one of the other team without losing at least 3 of my toons. Unless I had 3-4 teams of 7* characters, GW is unwinnable.

I am really confused. The partial update that changed the damage model briefly seemed to work really well and it made the game more strategic and I was having fun. Now that the protection is implemented the game is absolutely excruciating. I mean really painful to play. Didn't you guys play this at all? If you did there is no way that you could have enjoyed it or failed to notice how bad the game became. I feel like I'd rather chew off one of my arms than to actually play this now. This is insanity.

In fact I don't want my money back: I WANT MY GAME BACK!!!!

Could I suggest that instead of the protection maybe just increase the armour and reduce the damage dealt and you would have balanced it out more.
Plus make defence up and offence down work more like the offence up does.
By the looks of it Royal Guard is going to be just as unbalanced in this update as Poe used to be before you nerfed him.
