Here is the problem with tournament. Compared to Duel it is demanding WAAAAY more time. And it also requires you to commit to much longer play session.
Amount of time you wait to find a tournament, then amount of time you wait in between matches, and to top it off there are so many extra mandatory menu animations to go through.
If what it gave as gameplay experience was unique in a way to justify that I would be (maybe) ok with extra time and long time commitment requirement. But practically what I get out of Tournament is a few duels. There is absolutely nothing superior to gameplay experience of duels in tournament mode. Heck I don't even know who the hell the other people are until I face them in a duel, so even the hype of pondering who will beat who and whom you gonna face is absent.
For all the extra love it demands, it doesn't even pay it back with XP and steel. I get much less XP and Steel in the same time compared to anything else I could have done in the game, including just regular duels. Rewards are silly in their randomness so they also don't make me want to play for them.
Can't we have good old regular Ranked Duels instead? Injustice2 has way more active players than FH and even they don't stray from proven effective 1v1 Ranked system. On the topic of ranked, the skill of enemies I played varied extremely wide, from total newbie with rep 5- who spams heavies and dodge attacks to feint god Kenseis with rep 70+. Isn't it supposed to be strict skill only?
Another FAILURE at an attempt to prop up in game player numbers.
Another GAME MODE that can make you wait the best part of a day just to get a game.
Lack of any incentive to play (extra steel/xp)
I want to love the game but as it stands now lack of any population in game prevents me from actually being able to participate in any form of PVP (even getting a player Vs Ai is somewhat difficult) so your so called new game mode has nothing to offer me.
I have however watched some tournament gameplay AND what I saw was what I imagine 2 chimpanzees having epileptic seizures would look like.
Unlock the regions, let everyone who still plays this game to actually get into a game , until you fix the fundamental issues you have with your game players will stay away in droves and will be unlikely to ever comeback.
They're not until season 4 it seems because new heroes. I hope you have fun waiting 2-3 more months.Originally Posted by matt89connor Go to original post
FYI I only have 16hrs playing PVP so before you go off on how bad you believe I am at this game let me share reasons as to why those stats mean absolutely nothing .
#1 I cannot get ANY games in any mode PVP for about 4 months straight due to lack of any players in my region.
#2 Because of the above reason I ONLY play solo dominion Vs Ai so any PVP stats are irrelivant.
Now if you EVEN read my post I did mention I have not played tournament mode BUT I have watched some streams and videos on youtube and base my OPINIONS on those not playing it myself
I have now played a tourney but my initial opinions stand.
Now just because you had a great time in your tourney doesn't mean others will I faced up against 4 shogoki who from what I saw ONLY used unlock tech. Only know this from a video I watched previously. This spelt doom for me as my limited PVP experience I have not come across this tactic and I had zero idea as how I should deal with a foe who for all intents and purposes was outright cheating.
NOW as for how I choose to spell my Account name I CAN SPELL TYLER DURDIN HOWEVER I CHOOSE TO and its not up to you to correct how I spell it.
After viewing your link it actually tells you I only have 16hrs in PVP perhaps you should have reviewed the stats for your self would have saved me the time to explain it to you.
It gets even better now. So you complain about a new game mode because it drives people away from Player vs AI? Can you explain why? The people who go into tournaments are mostly PVP duelists, at least that is what I see there and what makes sense. So in no way it drives people away from your game modes.
Sad that you cannot get into PVP games in your region, but I think it would not fix your core problem when they unlock the regions. You would have high ping times (and 100ms+ in Shooters and Fighting Games is not consistently playable) and alot of dropped games. Even Servers won't fix the problem if you are in a region where only a few people play the game.
You base your opinion on streams and youtube? Did I get that correctly? You saw extreme examples that I did not experience most of the time. So here is my personal reference vs your external input agrumentation (and youtube videos probably only show the worst matches...).
Don't know what your getting at mate I never said anywere the tournament game mode was driving people away from Player Vs Ai or any other game mode I SOLO PLAY meaning I play alone with Bots Vs Bots.
how you got this out of what I typed is beyond my understanding.
I'm actually starting to believe your adding things in on purpose as to antagonize me into some kind of rash action and as such am going to just outright ignore anything you respond to from this onset.
Oh, I got you wrong then, your complaints seem to focus on "another game mode that has nothing to offer you and drives people away from PvAI". That's what I read between the lines, sorry for my misunderstanding.
So, why are you even ranting here? You play PvAI cause lack of players in your region. That's sad as I said. What can UBI do for you? Remove region lock? Look at my statement above on that...
You can ignore me, I have 0 issues with that. But you should, imho, not complain in a Tournament related topic about your specific, region based problem.
I had a blast too.
And I didn't even win a tourney. Just reached half finals
I also got oponents which used cheesy moves.
I also got Turtles.
I even used a berserker which is probably the one of the worst char for tourneys.
But who cares....the fight where extremley intense. And that is what I play this game for.
I don't care about xp
I don't care about rewards.
I don't care about win or loss.
But I care about Fun. And that is what i got!
