New game mode

DoubleTap · July 16

It’s stupid and pure RNG no skill it’s 5 card draw basically. If you can parry and 5 hit combo you will win the fights. Trying to get the best “hands” as you can before being forced into a boss fight is all RNG, so even if you do incredibly well in the fights whether or not you get points is up to chance. Unless KaBaam wants to finally admit they’re faking the RNG.

And this is the 2* event? Why 2* why not 1* honestly I’d rather this be a 7* event so we can see the damage random 7* do instead of useless crud MASSIVE LETDOWN. I hope they fire the good idea fairy who came up with this, or atleast gives them paid gambling counseling.

I totally agree, the concept is good but the execution is pretty bad. The entire thing basically comes down to luck, so you're basically wasting your time (and energy) if you get bad rng.
Why not make it so you can pick champs to add to your squad after beating a fight, and giving us better / more options based on the fight difficulty or something. This could have easily been modified into a solid roguelike game where actual skill / critical thinking is required. Right now it's a snooze fest in my opinion.

If you believe that you’ve only played Texas hold em or haven’t played the new game mode lmao

Usagicassidy · July 16

I'm actually pretty pissed that the game WOULDNT let me do the 30/energy mode and I can't for the life of myself figure out why.

So I go in with the 10/energy mode... and OF COURSE I end up with this.

What the heck kabam? This should've been worth 2400 points... but you wouldn't let me into your GD mode.

djr17 · July 16

You've gotta do 2 to unlock the 30 energy option.

And my first time playing i ended up with the same hand you did.

They should’ve made all the champs 7*R4 so we could see what they’re capable of, even champs that aren’t even 7* we would finally get a good preview and they’d hear our feedback better on who should be next 7* but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 2* and nothing have fun gambling so stupid and pointless

That would have made this honestly impossible to do. We're giving out the 52 2*s, maxed out, and you can keep them. Obviously cannot do that with 7 stars, and doing it a different way would have made the mode infeasible to get in.

Will be collecting up and passing along feedback on the mode, but giving everyone 52 7*s is just not practical haha

Any update on why it’s not working

KabamPinwheel · July 16

So for majority of players it should be (and from what we can tell is) working. However, a number of summoners who were playing right at the start seem to be stuck in a bad state from the server issues at release. We're working on getting those accounts unstuck right now

That’s frustrating everyone else is able to play perfectly fine and we are being punished for playing when it started and missing out

DevilsClaw_1991 · July 16

Can't complain about my first try lol. Wish it was my main account not my alt though.

Can you please fix this, ASAP? So many people are already far out there in terms of ranks. Is there going to be compensation for this even?

absolutely understand the frustration. Working to fix it as quick as we can cause agreed, that feels rough.

Won’t there be discrepancies in the rank system now because of people not being able to play

We'll keep an eye on it, ultimately it should hopefully not be a significant discrepancy

I hope not too but people have already gotten the certified force so there is bound to be some

It's fun and harmless enough in my opinion, though I quickly threw out my poker playbook and started chasing inside straights and kinda-flushes since those give you points here rather than befuddled looks at the poker table.

Chased that 10 through 3 rounds:

@kabam pinwheel. Thanks for updates. Please let us know when the issue completely resolved. I tried at the start and got stuck with that error so far.

Eggsandbacon · July 16

Genuine question what am i missing with regards to this game mode? The fights have zero skill ask and this ultimately comes down to an online card game based on sheer luck.

So are we ultimately giving top rewards to however can spend the most energy/ units on energy opposed to awarding skill.

That’s completely fair. However if you removed the whole “giving everyone the maxed 2*” you could’ve avoided the having to give us them and just let us play with them. Maybe that requires so much more technical and code awareness that I have but that’s something I think most players would’ve preferred, find a way to let us play as them without giving them to us.

Your not missing anything

You could be trying for any hand and get nothing, while someone could pull the best right off the bat

Its’s all RNG

Understand the ask, ultimately it was determined for this mode we wanted it to be as accessible as possible to the most possible people, and on an equal footing, so we wanted folks to be playing with the same set of Champions. Who knows for the future, regardless though appreciate the feedback!

come back here and say that again in a couple of months when they officially release this game mode with only 7* decks without giving any

I assume it's a game mode for the toilet tier players who aren't in top alliances or can't make it out of Uru.
