  • I'm pretty sure I did it correctly, but regardless, just fired up some duels, and they were correctly scored. Maybe I did follow the 'wrong' wheel. Maybe it was a glitch of sorts. Solved either way. :-) Paragon, @Winterthur
  • Potentially the best game mode for me. Without the plethora of cheaters I could see myself having fun in it or even lightly sweating away at it. However, the input / lag / whateverrrrrr issues currently suck all the life out of it. E.g., if I try to bait a heavy, stand blocking for over a second, the opponent punches…
  • This is basically an update to my post above: the issues seem to be getting progressively worse on the listed devices. Block fails more and more. My champion visibly blocks for seconds (e.g., while trying to bait a heavy in Battlegrounds), the opponent hits straight through it. Additionally, I now have more 'sticky champ'…

  • I think (especially) end game players stumbled into a classing 'same, but different' situation. Because, let's not mince words, horrible fights are not a minty fresh addition to the game. See: Act 6, when it was first released. However, back then, people felt they 'had' to do that content, because it was just about the…
  • As for those mentioning not being overly rushed to take a champ up to R4: I agree. I am not hyped about that myself. At all. If I can (and I’m close), I probably will, but bar the prestige boost if you take, say, Doom up, it seems inconsequential. And being in a semi-retired alliance, prestige is the least of my worries.…
  • I agree fully. Came to a similar conclusion a while back. Stepped down and now enjoy semi retirement. We do map 2 AQ and one BG war. The latter is fun. AQ is horrible, even on map 2. Fights take forever due to passive AI. Timed out with a rank 3 Hercules against a Beast mini this morning. On Map 2! Variant 8 is way too…
  • YEESH...it sure does. If Parry fails, say, half the time, it gets tricky. If, like I did, you also have to deal with dexes either flat out failing or automagically turning into parries, it gets harder still. Especially when the final fight requires you to, say, Parry on demand (what a brilliant idea, given the state of the…
  • I’m fine with what we got. But I personally don’t care about the compensation one way of the other. My game is still as broken as it before. I burned through all the revives and health pots I so gracefully received, for one single SoP run. And had to spend about 1k units to even finish those three fights. I basically can’t…
  • In-Game Name: born.to.hula Device and Model: iPhone 12, iPad 2020, iPad 2021 Device Operating System: latest Cellular or WiFi: both Game Version Installed: most recent, including hotfix Game Mode: literally. every. single. game. mode. Description of the Issue: unresponsive controls, parries fail, dexterity likewise…
  • Same boat here. If it’s almost impossible to Dex (best case scenario, most end up being parries) it gets kinda hard even following up GM’s prompts. Same when parry flat out fails. Trying to Dex when he wants me to parry now. It’s a bit silly.
  • I agree with those disagreeing with me: if people spend units (equates to money) on something that is broken, that is their problem. Yup, I see the light now. Or rather, I don’t in actuality (sorry about that, but I bought 55 LED lamps, none of which work, but refund request was religiously and righteously refused) but in…
  • I have never (feel free to check) asked for compensation or anything of the kind. But in this case, I expect to be fully refunded the units I used. Nothing more (no freebies needed), but also, nothing less. Thanks in advance.
  • Dexing is damn near impossible for me. Threw units at it. Can’t. Be. Done. Guess I don’t need an r4. What a delusional idea to release a ‘dex intensive’ fight at a time like this. Show must go on, I know. But, to mangle another entertainment related saying, this particular Elvis left the stage, and might just exit the…
  • Yes, yes, and yes. This is one challenge I will have to skip. True, the game is better since the hotfix. But by no means good enough to do a fight like this. Let alone, multiple times. I threw units at it, hoping I’d have a decent fight down the line, but nope. Number of times I couldn’t (as in, it simply wasn’t possible)…
  • Heads up after a few days of testing: the issue has not been resolved for me. Both dexterity and regular parry are a bit better. That is to say, it now tends to fail once, whereas before the hotfix, I often found myself missing a number of parries successively. It’s still hard (costly) to do hard content though. And it…
  • This game is borderline unplayable for some. And for quite a few of that some, Summer Of Pain is content they ‘need’ to do because it’s a progressive game and they, well, want to progress. And some of that some finished all other content. Like me. As per the game’s unwritten rules, progress is the goal. I am starting to…
  • I don’t mean to sound dramatic, but above sentiments reflect my own. I tried a bit of Cav difficulty monthly, and lost my entire team two fights in. There literally isn’t any content I can reasonably take on between the persistent parry/dex and the increased lag issues. I stumbled through SoP (all milestones hit, so far)…
  • I honestly don’t understand the thought behind extending a fight for a week. Unless these (in my case) game breaking (and alliance leaving) bugs are resolved before that week ends, it won’t make one iota of difference. Unplayable is unplayable. What good does extending it do? Just take it offline, bring them (and any…
  • Just a heads up - and everyone's mileage will vary - but the issues seem to be getting worse. Any dashing enemy goes straight through me. Parry, Dexterity (sometimes turns into a parry) and Block don't do a thing. I now also experience the problem where defenders (if a parry automagically does register) are 'unstunned' WAY…
  • It’s a fun receipe, but unsure how that would work out in a Summer of Pain fight. ;-)
  • In content where the AI is in overdrive mode (faster), issues like this are much more prevalent/noticeable. Many of the ‘lag like’ issues - e.g., the AI firing a special or countering you mid combo - that have been around for longer share that trait. The faster the AI, the less margin for error. Both human (skill based,…
  • Just ignore trolls like that. ‘Me belly full, so impossible anyone anywhere in the world is hungry’.
  • What device are you using? iPad Pro 11 inch [latest] and iPhone 12 Pro Max Which Champion were you fighting? (If you can remember specifics) Cap Marvel Movie, and many others in arena. ROL Winter Soldier (to test more). But it does not seem champ or content specific. Can get the occasional parry in, but often 3-5 in a row…
  • You basically can’t reliably parry dashes anymore. If at all. In combination with all the other lag or input related stuff, like champs throwing spontaneous heavies or the AI punishing you mid combo, qualifying this build as ‘unplayable’ wouldn’t be much of a stretch. I can just about plough through arena (albeit with a…
  • All I do in this short clip, is try to parry. Nothing else. And really concentrated. On latest ipad Pro. In arena, should be spot on. These are just a few, but some fights, it’s five or more in a row. Playing since launch, all end game content done. https://youtu.be/c1tXd5pIhJ8 Unplayable, really.
  • Sunspot all the way. Unless you like RNG. Colossus never crits when you need him to. As in: all content that matters. Sunspot is all guaranteed. Even his limited, but very useful utility to not take damage (perfect block). Also, Colossus is probably the most boring champ to play. Bar none.
  • We found two (welcome guys), can accommodate a few more. We’re the 127764545 th best retirement alliance. Trust me.

  • I dunno. If you want to experience enjoyment from a game, I don’t think that’s a terrible argument for ranking a champ. Or for playing the game. The other way around seems sadder to me.
