I'm out

I know I'm not a big forum presence, so I'm more leaving this hoping D3 notices the trend before it's too late.

My wife and I are done with this game, basically summed up, it's no longer fun. You're penalized for doing well, playing smart, and having a levelled roster. It doesn't feel like progression having a roster with six level 141s when it causes the enemies to scale up. Especially with the broken scaling that Juggernaut and Ares receive. They are much better than my 141s the closer they get to 100+. It's not fun having to play a 9 day PVE every 2.5 hours or as close as you can to be remotely competitive. The sharding system is annoying forcing shield hopping late in game and removing the ability to join any tournment late. How sad is it that I spent equal time these past weeks tanking my MMR as time playing? The alliance system is annoying (we ran a competitive 20 man, won Nick Fury Season 1 rewards). I can't win all three 3 star covers without an alliance, because of this we have to compete in PVP for rewards I couldn't care less about. If you want to remotely be competive in this game it simply requires too much for a mobile game, in many ways it requires way more of me than raiding in WoW ever did.

On a plus, I had a lot of fun playing with some of my former alliance teammates.

  • I spent a few months in an MMR bubble with you. Sorry to see you go.

    Awww, MerC icon_e_sad.gif

    We've talked about this, and that PVE sure hasn't been RL-friendly, so I can totally understand your decision.

    It was a pleasure to 'serve' at your side - I'll remember our season 1 every time I look at my Fury cover.

    Godspeed my friend, go find something less time consuming and more fun! icon_e_smile.gif
    You'll be missed.
  • See ya merC.
  • frankly, for the same reason, i see myself leaving soon as well

    game it's not fun when it's about avoiding punishment, unfair ones at that
    i don't get to have excitement over rewards or etc.
    it's not "challenging" in the right sense, it's just a chore
    icon_arrow.gif i rather fight situational level 500's and get guaranteed reward, than lvl50 100 times and have a small chance...
  • Merc,

    thank you again for inviting me into your alliance, it's been really great playing and chatting with you and the rest of the gang. i will probably keep grindi -- i mean playing MPQ a little longer in the hopes that D3 makes some changes to return some of the fun to the game. anyway, i hope you and cooter enjoy whatever next addiction comes your way. icon_e_smile.gif (related note: check out hearthstone! my battletag is MOTOD#1208 on there.)

    cheers and all the best,
