The game is just becoming too much of grind these days…
I’ll still play regardless but I have definitely cut my playing time down a lot
1. Arena. I have always been an arena grinder, just for units mostly, but the 6* arena was exciting. Problem is that only 2% of players (if that) have an actual chance of getting the 6*, and maybe 10% have a chance at the 5* (featured arena only). I get it, but it also isn’t great for the game IMO. I’m also just tired of mindlessly playing arena for 2 hours a day to be able to get units without spending money. Yes, I know, “get gud”… take it somewhere else, I am tired of hearing morons say that.
2. The Grind. Take arena out of it, there is so much to do if you want to progress. Daily, repetive side quests most months. A total of 22 paths to explore each month for EQ, and that is just for 1 difficulty. That, on top of AQ and AW limits your roster for more than half the month, so you really do have to grind out the SQ and EQ during alliance event breaks. Sure, having a developed roster makes it easier, but accounts progress so fast now. I have been TB for about 4 months now, and I have exactly 1 r3 champ. I have 2 T5cc waiting for better champs. I understand that r3 champs aren’t needed for these events, but it certainly helps trim the time down requires to complete them.
3. Alliance events. I have always liked AQ, but it is becoming very stale for me. The same fights over and over and over. It is basically like a SQ for me at this point. And you pretty much HAVE to do it to keep advancing. AW is a whole different animal that has the potential to be the best mode in the game, but it is still the same fights over and over every war almost. Korg on Mix Master, Void or Nick on rage etc… I was so happy to see a Champion boss in our last AW instead of Apoc or Doom, and that is just dumb.
4. Of course the bugs. It absolutely destroys my moral when I am cruising along in a quest and all of the sudden I can’t dex, I can’t parry, my champ just stops mid combo and gets destroyed. I know Kabam is working on it, but it is to the point where the game is becoming nearly unplayable at times.
At the very beginning of 2020 I took a break, and didn’t fully start playing again until September/October maybe. This revitalized my enjoyment of the game. I also stopped playing arena (besides the side quest arena), which I would say has also helped. While there has been bugs, every game has had to experience them. I empathize with the people working on them. Since my break, I’ve also become a more causal player, and I think that definitely effects my mood in a more positive way when it comes to this game.
I’m still having fun and I have no plans of leaving anytime soon!
Once a day log in.
My main enthusiasm is BUFFS
The times I've burned out have always been alliance related. AQ in particular. I don't mind the daily grind, but I'd prefer playing on my schedule instead of my schedule getting played.
Solo competitive looks like an interesting mixup. Here's hoping they make the game more solo/schedule friendly in the future, glory/progression included.
I can feel myself losing interest and that’s mainly down to game performance.
It kind of hit home with AW season starting last week. Normally I would be excited about new season but first couple of wars I couldn’t have cared less.
I explored all story content, variants and lol. I’m waiting bugs be fixed before abyss exploration
Having to spend 5-10 minutes reading from boss nodes, to incursions nodes, to new champs kits, to buffed champs new kits.
Having to spend 30 minutes understanding every new monthly event.
RNG based progression. R3 for TB is silly and discouraging.
Finally clearing some difficult content that may or may not have cost units and then opening your reward to get the only T5CC you don’t need and duping your sentry.
