I am in CE 1st 4 fights of the day were ok had choices of PME, ME or future all very good, thought they had fixed the matching from beta it may have been because that we just after it opened, but now I have players from SAAB, Arctic or LMA to chose from,
picked the poor beggar in LMA and guess what I now have different players from SAAB and Arctic but the same poor beggar from LMA, I get love letters from my hood calling me a bully I smile, however tonight I FEEL like a bully and that is such a nasty feeling to be left with by a game you loved
Honestly I wouldn't feel bad at all about murdering ANY early game player in this so-called PvP Tower, since there's no plunder mechanic attached to it...
Back in the day, the game really
was about clubbing baby seals when the 'hoods themselves were a brutal mish-mash of everything from BA cities up to Future/Artic Future.
Some may still try and claim play styles such as "camping" is evil, vile, bullying "cheating" by a bunch of basement dwelling trolls, but those claims are just butt-hurt, snowflake levels of pure BS... everyone has the same resources now & ability to climb to the top ranks of their 'hoods, if they can be half-bothered to simply put the work into it.
This new feature is absolutely a giant dumpster fire that's so beyond saving, even the fire department has giving up on dousing the ashes, but it's NOT harming in any way smaller/early game cities.
Every small city can still earn ludicrous amounts of 1-up kits/rogues/dias/fp's/etc... from just sticking to the staples every week in GE + GBG's, and slogging through the Cultural Settlements at one's own pace for better rewards.
"losing out" on a handful of medals/fp's and the odd rogue/1-up kit isn't breaking anyone's game.
The ONLY thing about this new system that has honestly rankled my own feathers, is no longer seeing the total victory pts we earn now after each fight. Please Inno, at least give us that feature back!!
