How is this game balanced?

This game is getting ridiculous!!!

Im VIP 11 and so far away from the top players. Initially when i first started, i felt like i could challenge the best players by focusing on 15-20 heroes but every update released is making that more and more impossible.

Let me list the issues with this game.

  • Guild wars has multiple off duty heroes which only help the big spenders more.
  • Friendship disks are impossible to get without maxing certain heroes.
  • Everyone uses the same heroes, per blue refuses to balance heroes. Honestly what good is finnick compared to maleficent? What good is yax compared to flynn? What good is vanellope compared to quorra? Weak heroes stay weak, and new overpowered heroes just keep coming out you make them even more irrelevant.

It should be easy to level 15 heroes as a free to play user. It should be easy to level 30 heroes as a spender. It should be easy to level 50 heroes as a big spender
Thats what i would call balanced!!!

To answer your topic: It isn’t.

Friendship disc are impossible??? Going to call false on that one. They are too easy. I complete most with only 4 of the 5 toons

But the other stuff, yea

So you say paying should make it way easier to level up, on a post talking about balance! That wouldn’t exactly be very balanced. Yes balance matters, and yes, this game has little balance for characters, but giving big spenders access to more heroes or more resources to level up heroes would not bring balance. I know this game is pay to win, but it is not pay to have access to absurd advantages.

Read the whole sentence. Impossible to get without maxing certain heroes. Thats indisputable!! If you want to challenge it, take on the Mickey and Jack Skellington quest with a subpar jack skellington.

Paying should have its advantages such as access to a larger hero pool. But f2p people can still challenge the best with their team of 15. They’ll just find it harder, which is fair, given the spenders paid for the larger hero pool.

I read the whole sentence. Still disagree. Currently on chapter 2 with a 2 star, mostly 70 lvl skills. Think he is p2 or 3. My mickey is orange and might have slightly higher skills… Maybe try not running it on auto?

Please stop trying to make this game brain dead easy

Yes but how far will you get to levelling that badge? Unless your jack is orange and near maxed skills, you’ll be failing alot of friendship missions. If you have another unmaxed hero, all of a sudden your win percentage is only 30%

Doubt it, but I will start focusing it now just to prove a point

Sad to see you go, but every conclusion you made is right on the spot. Combined these effects everybody should come to the conclusion that this game is a relentless money grab without a decent return for time and effort. Have fun whales, as long as you have some opponents to go against. Let’s see how long this will last.

Having a balanced game does not necessarily mean everything in the game is equally good or viable. And there is always going to be a most efficient tactic available, which most people at or near the top will use.

And power creep is a healthy and necessary part of any long term competitive game. If new characters stay at the same relative level of “power” as existing characters, in some abstract sense of the word “power,” then the existing characters remain exactly as viable, and the status quo pretty much stays the same forever. New content has to adjust the landscape. That means it has to either directly address the current meta, or contribute to a new meta. It’s kinda like inflation; you may not like it, but it’s necessary.

How much, how fast? These can be discussed. But it keeps the game from stagnating.

And not all characters are or should be created equal. Yes, Yax, Finnick, and Vanelope are, to varying degrees, bad. They’re not meant to be good. They’re beginning-of-the-game scrap characters you grow out of quickly, and that’s part of game structure. That not all forty-nine characters have a current use in the arena does not mean the game does not have balance.

Theoretical perfect balance where everyone is equal is, in fact, very boring, because options become arbitrary. A game is a series of interesting decisions, and a playerbase in the thousands solves the puzzles quickly, so the pot has to be stirred regularly. Dynamic game balance.

Yes, it means the decisions you made months ago about what to farm and invest in have their values changed as the equation changes. The alternative is stagnation.

Sorry if I missed something but doesnt this statement mean that More charaters should be equal? If Quorra and Baymax are being used by everyone then that makes it a direct affirmative with this statement…i am not sure I understand your point of view :grin:

#14

Not everyone is using Quorra and Baymax. Also, these are both characters who were recently nerfed because they were a bit much, and they added Darkwing, who is a shield counter, and therefore a Baymax counter.

It’s purposely unbalanced to get you to spend money, they give you the illusion you might be able to balance it with your wallet, but even then it’s not really. Any game where there is a great race to reach the top and the availability to simply purchase the top rank is inherently unbalanced, and since they can just raise that top bar any ol time they want, the best thing to do as a f2p is just trot along and do some dailies for like 30 mins a day then just put it down. Get some real stuff done in the world, make it a better place and smile when you go to sleep

It would be hard to understand, BUUUUT

Mobile games are rarely supposed to be balanced and fair for everyone. Not only because absolute balance is hard to reach and nerfing heroes would be considered a “HiT FRoM GReeDy DeVeLoPeRs” if performed too often.

But because getting money from whales for some OP stuff that you can create and powercreep the previous content over and over again and those who are on top would buy to stay relevant is the main priority, and it’s supposed to give the biggest part of income.

Once you understand that all the devs shall do to keep mobile game is constantly bringing new content and this is most likely the only thing done, you will feel like that devs are not the ones who should entertain you in this market, but that’s you who should find an entertainment in a game you want.

VIP 11 is good, but it’s less than 5% of what every member of TOP-5 of my server has donated to this game.

I managed to get baymax flynn disk with O2 6 stars Flynn and all the other required roster having P1-2 and some control skills maxed.
Back before, even full maxed roster was not enough.

I guess the point im trying to make is im sitting on a 20k tia, 20k stitch and a 10k maui and still have 62% failure rate. I have no choice but to stay mashing out maui in order to raise my success rate.
