There are too many ties for #1 (perfect score) in Nodes of Power right now. (In both Gold and Plat!)

Please bring back the random server downtimes and the game crashing bugs, as this would cause more players to lose, and reduce the number of perfect scores.

I really don't want to wake up at 5am to do tiebreakers every other day. My girlfriend threatened to leave me if she hears me playing children's puzzle games in the bathroom before the sun rises. It is also very cold in the morning.

Thanks,
yun

    RC needs a comeback, heard it did well for itself. Should keep people on their toes and thin out.

    It wasn't anywhere this bad last week.

    Conspiracy theory:

    Someone mentioned coalitions starting to soft play own members to improve score. Now more people are doing it!


    I want to make a renewed plea for real pvp or at the very least, a much better AI.

    Or I guess if it's that much easier to implement... Summon 100 elves.

    It doesn't help that they collapsed everyone in platinum into one bracket instead of two.

    How could you tell?

    Doesn't the second bracket only start after first one fills up?

    Your request has been answered. I just got a "Something went wrong" after I survived a ridiculous Kiora deck. Not happy as I earned that victory.

    Anyways, with the lack of objectives, all you're going to get is perfect scores.

    EC? Cry on the forums. NoP? Cry on the forums. Solution? .........

    Platinum has only been one bracket since I joined -- this is my 5th event there.

    Bringing back RC wouldn't help -- they need to un-nerf Kiora.

    Well the forums were pretty quiet during the Darkness in the Shadows event (or whatever it's called). I don't remember even seeing anyone complain about running it twice with the same colour nodes both times (actually as silly as this was, it was quite convenient I didn't have to change my decks in between).

    Clearly crying on the forums *is* the solution. I haven't seen EC once since the massive protest last time. I'm starting to miss it now, in a Stockholm Syndrome kind of a way...

    Ive had more errors this event than any for a long time. One even wiped all the matches from a node.

    Ah.

    I want to give credit where credit is due.

    The powers that be have heard yunnnn's requests and granted the wave of game crashes.

    Seems the world might be right again... And a lot of angry people are generated when the world is right.

    Not sure how long this "crash" or "hotfix" has been going for but it's annoying that people who possibly plan their play times for these events around other things in their lives end up not being able to compete anymore all due to something that is no fault of their own.

    The inability to open product + wipe all node battles on crash makes this the best hot fix ever!

    Thanks for the great feedback everyone!

    Maybe we could build a fire, sing a couple of songs, huh? Why don't we try that?
