Infinity Season *Updated (9/19/17)

Anybody else amused that infinity season is the shortest season ever?
Although with best friends forever as one of the events, it may feel infinitely long.8 -
I'm curious if the next test will be anything substantial outside of testing a win based pvp season and offering up Hulkbuster and Teen Jean as 4* covers in their events. Maybe the third test, if there is one, will offer a hybrid system that many people want, myself included. Now if they could just do a hybrid pvp system and fix progression rewards in pve (4 clears to get 15cp for max progression, 5+ clears for bonus progression rewards) then I think they could make the vast majority of the player base happy.0

However, for what you've quoted: I've had this discussion before, not sure if it was with your or not, but 40+ point matches aren't that readily available to many of us. Many other posters will back me up on this. You take what you can get. Yeah, I expect retals to come. What I don't expect is to be shut down by dual 450+ 5* as someone who has no one over 285, unless boosted. Maybe that's due to my lack of experience with trying to get to 900 in PVP, I don't know.
I can get this complaint from someone much newer than you are, but for someone of your roster level, finding other 4-star matches worth 40+ points should not be that hard at all unless time is almost out on the event.0 -
Hopefully they keep the CP in the placement rewards,0

I've been playing for a long time, and I play at the 4* level. 40+ pt matches are a rarity in PVP. I go through nodes first to last multiple times, and often have to settle for 25-35 pt matches. Meanwhile, I get hit for 50+ pts while I'm playing a single match. I get to 900 pts sometimes, but not consistently. All those times I come close but still fall short are frustrating. The fun gets drained out of the game. I don't enjoy having to shield-hop, either. I do it, but I find it annoying.
All I want to do is play the game without having to adhere to a schedule and without wasting my time thinking I'm climbing but constantly getting knocked down.10 -
4* player here with only Peggy boosted this event. I saw plenty of 40+ point matches in Thor's pvp when I climbed in s1 with about 6 hours left in the event. If people are getting hit by 5* teams, and aren't seeing any manageable opponents for ~38 points, then I'm guessing they're pushing in the 3 hour window, which is when a lot of the 4* teams in the 900s are already shielded.0

Before I champed my first 5* I could climb to 900 in 20 or less wins EVERY event consistently. I'm 1 event off of 2 straight seasons of 900+ and should be more but I was lazy in the season that preceeded the last one. After I champed Phoenix near the beginning of this season I had to adjust my strategy slightly, but now I can hit 1000 in 20 or less wins. I see high point values after the seeds all the way up, to the point that I won't hit ANYTHING, except seeds, less than 38 points anymore. I still use no coordination and hit what is available to me except alliance mates.
A person with a 4* roster that is not able to hit 900 is not playing properly, there is no other way to say it. It's not evidence of a broken system, but evidence of an unwillingness to do what it takes! If other people can do it, so can you.....

I just unshielded in the Thor event, with 8 hrs to go. I found a 45 pt match, and won it in about 5 min. As soon as it was over, I saw that I got hit for 51 pts while playing the 1st match.
The 1st match!
That just shouldn't happen. The frustration outweighed the enjoyment.
i know the new system won't work for everybody, but I like the idea of the frustration being reduced.8 -
Those of you that like the current system, just because you have figured out how to make it work doesn't mean you can't adjust and you may even like it more.
Instead of getting lucky, skipping a ton, or using line to find easy high point targets, you can just fight the easier targets for 20-40 points. If they retal, oh well, that's just another easy target for you!
I recently champed my first 5* (Surfer), have a 435 OML, and some level 300+ 4* champs. The rumors that all you see when you champ 5* are Panthos are not true, at least not in my case. That could change as I champ more, but now I see a wide variety of 350-475 5's, boosted/champed 4's, and the less common unboosted 4. I have no doubts that getting 30-40 wins will be easier for me than 900 points, mostly because I can play at my own pace and not worry about shields.0 -

If I were going to propose a solution, it would be the already suggested one of just simply opening up MMR at the top end. Since decoupling points from progression means the lower roster don't have to care as much about if/when they get beat, let the high level rosters beat up on them if they need/want to.

BUT, for new players, is one year is enough to start being able to hit 900 points, and after how long should be able to hit 1200 points (is it 2 years), that one of the reasons i think the PVP progression system is not fine (need something to change).
and what mentioned above is without using Line chat application (or others) to coordinate, it is ok (no problem with that), but not all players are willing to use Line for VERSUS coordination.
for THORE VERSUS (i have him champed), i couldn't hit 700, why, because when i get close to 700 (and i only need one more fight to win to hit 700+), when i win a fight, i found out i got hit and lost points.
i repeated that like 4 or 5 times, i shielded at 698.
to be honest, it was busy hour (so many online players, last 1 or 2 hours of the event), but the idea still the same.

@Lucifier I don't disagree with you that the system is not good for 1-2 year players who are trying to transition to 4* land and achieve the 4* progression. Here was the problem with the last test.
I am a 5* player shield rank 116 and I went down to CL6 in the test. Why did I do this you might ask because all I care about is the CP so I can try and pull more 5*. I opened with seed teams and only used 3* and on the last seed team I put out my 2 lowest level 3* and the loaner 3*. I then waited for everyone who was low level to hit me and then I used 4* to retailiate. I did then waited for more hit to retaliate on 4* players with my 5*. I then climbed at the end and easily took top 5 for my extra CP. the system of total wins being in progression means I have to put pout week teams to face so I don't climb too high. I should be going in CL8 so 3-4* players can be playing in CL6 and are able to place in top 10 not a 5* player.
i said it earlier their should be an either or equation. Hit 900 points or X number of wins for the 4* progression. They should also add CL9 and place a 5* at top point progression since 5* players are the ones who can level 5*. This will also keep higher end players from playing lower CL and lower CL players can earn more 4*1 -

It's just another test. Not the final product.
And it's a terrible change so long as they want to double the amount of play necessary for even 4* rewards.

I loved the first test. It was the only time I actually enjoyed PvP.

3Thor has been around for a long time so having him champed is hardly a competitive advantage, you need to just play a bit smarter.0 -
Can we at least wait until the preview is up, with rewards tables, before we decide whether we like it? And I say, the best way to protest is not boycott, but stop playing at low wins, if you dislike the structure/requirements. The metrics will drive changes, as much or more than forum opinions.
Some found enjoyment last time using different teams vs always leaving best defensive one up. YMMV.
Anyone who wants IMHB or JG will grind for them, though. I'm sure overall engagement will go up.1 -
Its hopeless Vhairlox. I think people have to be prepared to quit pvp0
