[...]if you hadn't played that first Silence I could have Flashed the Recluse immediately.So dirty :x
tho if Higs really prefer it roughLol... my guess is yes.
AI3.Oh thank goodness... lol. Guess i don't have to redo mine.
For you, platinum.Create a deck based on skeleton which doesn't use immolation or reverse time.For what level opponent?
I doubt my presence will be the thing that sends me into the final battle with 10 men; I'm sure that many players have weighed their options between the Time challengers, and if anything, I have a feeling that several people are most likely to vote for the others due to the fact that I've had several chances (again, I've been in 5 trials so far including this one). My dedication for time can be seen as both an admirable trait, as well as an unimpressive stain that has lasted for 4 consecutive trials in terms of my skills.I by no means consider it an unimpressive stain on your "resume". I commend your resiliency and your dedication to Time and respect you even more for your perseverance. You've only had one finals opportunity and it was against Xinef who by no means is a slouch when it came to PvP. I hold 10 men with a large amount of respect but it doesn't seem like he really "wants" the title, kind of like Xinef who wouldn't relinquish the title until he was defeated but didn't want to put the effort into the trials (if i'm wrong 10 men no disrespect and i apologize). So anyhow with that said good luck and i wish you the best.
a) Could Phase 1 be improved and expanded upon with regards to Masters?
I certainly think so. I don't think we should necessarily be given a free pass like Majofa has suggested but perhaps a partial pass. Say if we had to do 3 out 6 tasks perhaps one of them is a freebie and we get points for them. I still think we as Masters should put effort into retaining our title but perhaps a little less work for us?
b) It seems to me that most Masters would prefer 9 off-element cards*. Do you agree with this sentiment and why?
I think 9 would be great. Honestly the more off-element cards the better. Although there is a limit since the last thing i would want to see is everyone and their grabbows
c) The Masters Tourney is the Phase 2 for the participating Masters. Is there a better system for this?
I love the Masters Tourney, just wish we had a little more time. Basically i don't mind events running long and wouldn't mind all aspects of the trials lasting longer, but thats just me.
d) Would the Masters Tourney being the step between Trials and War be an interesting idea?
*In regards to both Phase 2 and the Final Battle.
Mmmmm i could go either way with this. I would think there would be more participation and less chance of no-plays during the trials but as we can see during this Masters Tourney its not the case. But then again it would mean that we would have all 12 masters available for the tourney.
My general thoughts on the trials... i think more tasks for Phase I and options would be great. Also not a fan of our tasks not being graded. It does make it much easier for us to complete our tasks but it also allows us to just put a bunch of crap together if we so choose and get points for it.
I think our upped card totals could also be tweaked. Perhaps a War participation bonus? Masters who lead War should get something instead of the almost all or nothing. Also if a player is a General of an element i think he/she should get a bonus as well if they choose to try out for the trials in that particular Element. I also feel the point totals for the Masters Tourney really puts many of the Masters at a disadvantage. If you do poorly in the Tourney you virtually get no upped cards. The top challenger who you will face will undoubtedly get a card advantage. We have a new system in place for Phase II points for challengers this time round which is a good step forward but it still could be much better IMO.
If we break it down only 2 Masters will definitely get more upped cards then their challengers in this setup (12 and 9 cards). 3rd place gets 6 cards and if you look at our current setup for Phase 2, the top contenders in 10 of the 12 Elements got 6 or more cards as their bonus (and its most likely the top earners in phase II will go on to the final battle). If you look at the point spread there are 39 total points available for 12 masters which gives an average of 3.25 cards per Master. The challengers will average over 6 cards (point totals aren't complete so i don't have an exact number). That doesn't seem right to me. We should be able to at least average the same amount of points as our challengers. Previous trials it was really bad where the top challenger was guaranteed 10 upped cards
Well i can't really give my assessment until you respond.PlayerOa
You seemed to take a lot of joy in being undefeated through the first several rounds in last War, though by your teammates responses, it didn't seem that you did much in the building of your decks. Response?Man.. i have to say, Majofa does not pull any punches. Great questions and i honestly have been looking forward to all the challengers responses to his questions.I see what you did there, Blondey.
Also i think it's pretty awesome that so many from team Death is participating in the trials.
Thanks for your candid response RR. Sorry if the wording was a bit harsh. You're obviously a great PvPer and i think it's been pretty sweet that me you and Nils have been or are Masters.QuoteRR - you seem to rage ALOT about RNG. Makes me feel that you believe that you would win every battle if you RNG was even. I'm not saying you might not be the unluckiest player in elements. What are your thoughts on that statement. BTW i have much respect for you as always.I started to wonder that, too. But I think I just build decks borderline to be unusable. Somehow during tests, everything goes straight, so I don't expect an utter failure.
