Best Of

You bring up some good points and just to piggyback on them, I do think there is a fundamental incoherence in the radiance chase as it's currently set up.

Sure, some modest players like Nick136 are fighting for their life out there in Celestial (the life of their account I should say) and the radiance rewards are basically necessary for them to progress in any meaningful way.

But like most people who play near the top of BGs spend a lot of money, thousands of dollars. If you convert that cash loosely into radiance, it's probably tens of millions of radiance in purchased resources.

And what are they chasing? The top C1 spot is like 500k radiance, which is a big amount for FTPs and modest spenders, but for the big BG players/spenders, it's basically a horrible/laughable return on their investment.

So clearly they are not chasing the radiance per se. They are chasing what that top prize represents: victory, ego, pride, identity, "fame" (as absurd as that sounds in the context of a mobile game).

And none of those things are actually illogical, but then you have the elephant in the room.

Basically, it's like hey, if you care so much about competition, and you're spending all this time and money to be the best, then how do you deal with the fact that you are paying for huge advantages over 99.9% of the playerbase?

And this is where the ego comes in and shields the BG addict from identity crisis and says: "No, I won because of skill, the thousands of dollars I spend is just a necessary precondition for competing."

And Kabam knows all this and all of these psychological exploitations are built into the foundations of the game because at the end of the day, no executive at Kabam or Netmarble gives a flying f about who won the last season of BGs. All they care is that the biggest rats are competing and paying for the privilege of doing so.

pulled Dazzler. Is she good?

Everything should be on its way now, lots of data pulls involved for this one

Act 2 Quest 1. Both paths have a saga champ that costs 2 energy

the new dailies have 2 per path

I totally get that-if you ask me, the whole Chronoserpant plor feels dragged... and like, i don't mean dragged as in if want them to end this plot, the opposite actually! But I feel like things are moving so slow, and the plot could for sure be elevated. And i guess the fact we are almost 2 acts in and u say we havent ever seen how The Chronoserpant looks like, should speak on itself.

Now, we have seen him a few times actually:

There you can see The Marstro encountering The Chronoserpant. Is his form physical? Well, see for yourself:

As you can see, this Wakandan character came in contact with him, and if she can-so are our champions.

As an FTP, you should laugh because he's paying for thousands of players like you to keep freely enjoying a very expensive game.

All that he asks in return is your sacrificial death in BGs to boost his ego.

morning star is one of the best red skull counters.
