Re: Doing Arena With and Without the EXPRESS MODE Results and A Suggestion
Auto-fill all day. Sometimes I'll move around classes so I don't have three of the same class so I reduce the risk of disadvantage, but ultimately just spamming fill is way faster. The time to scour through stuff will not be made up in the fights.

Doing Arena With and Without the EXPRESS MODE Results and A Suggestion
I know that with my 78 r5 4 stars I was able to put in around 1.1-1.2M points, and now without the express mode I was able to get 1.5M points. Of course being able to choose the team you're fighting changes your score but 400k difference is really huge imo. I think express mode always chooses the easiest team and we get very low points instead of the max we can get.
With express mode I was always fighting with 4 stars that have like 5-6k rating but with normal way I was able to fight with 8-9k rating 4 stars.
I think there should be a little adjustment, like another button on top of express mode to choose the hardest team instead of the easiest. I say a button and not make it built in because some people may not want it like a 7 star serpent could still make you lose points in arena if you don't have a good team at that moment.
I love the time saving we get from that mode but doing arena without express mode means I can get to the final milestone in 3 rounds instead of 4 with express. I think a paid feature should't have a flaw like this.
Just wanted point this little flaw (or maybe design choice) out, so that in the future maybe it can work better.
Re: Big Thing vs old style wars
What's the fun in doing 1 fight a war? Y'all beg Kabam for good deals and whale out for banquet and July and cyber just to use 1 attacker?? Don't you want to use more of your roster? What's point of spending if you do 12 fights a season? Where's the fun? Where's the rush?
Big Thing is fine for Christmas and maybe 1 more season during the year but it can't replicate the competitiveness of classic war and it's not even close.
Big Thing is a participation trophy!

That isnt how first editions work though. They're treating these like a tcg. It's a lucky pull. Not a guarantee unless it's tied to an event
Re: Doing Arena With and Without the EXPRESS MODE Results and A Suggestion
That's consistent with what I've seen. The easy match always generates less points per match because arena points factors in the PI of your opponents. The flip side is that the harder matches can take longer, so while they take fewer rounds they can take more time. This is highly dependent on the player; in my testing the sigil express path took more rounds but was faster in time, but other players have experienced the opposite: fewer rounds and also less time. If you use recoil masteries I think your kill speed rises to the point where the fights still happen fast enough that the stronger fights don't matter as much.
Another factor to consider is the flow of the arena. I often do arena without paying close attention to it, so I can do something else while grinding arena. However, this makes more sense in express mode where the rights are trivial. If you decide to pick the hard fights, lack of attention is more likely to cause you to occasionally lose a fight. Losing too many can eliminate the point advantage of choosing those fights. And in the rare case where you lose streak, you'll lose about two rounds of time to catch up your multiplier, essentially eliminating the advantage.
So there is a potential speed advantage dropping express and picking harder fights. But you will need to pay more attention to them and fight the fights efficiently, and mistakes will eliminate the advantage.
And yeah, I believe there's no way Kabam is likely to add more options for arena express. The original intent of arena express was to make it a convenience; a QoL benefit. The fact that it translates into a significant speed improvement when used was unintended. They are not likely to add optimization options to make it an even more beneficial accelerator.
Who do you think will end up as our two finalists today?
Re: Was Excited
Incursions are easily my least favorite solo game mode. You have to block out a solid chunk of time to complete and the resources for that mode are ungodly expensive compared to everything else. This completely took the wind out of my sails for getting that final Star Lord piece. Should have been tied to Solo Coliseum instead.
Re: Was Excited
