And what a glorious patch it’s been.
I’m curious if anyone has had a chance to review Greedent yet?
Hours later they released another patch (1.2.1.9) for another Zeraora Wild Charge+ bug fix!
@Screen I mean, I could tell you Greedents online keep kicking my butt! 😅 They're ferocious little tanks.
The new Pumpkin Throw mechanic adds a lot to the game, and I hope it sticks around in some way. Really adds a fun wrinkle to each match.
This update seals the deal of me quitting. $63.99 AUD skins, a limited amount of pumpkins from the event, and its still pay to win. Heck I can't even play any other character other than my main because my items arent levelled for anyone else. What a poor excuse for a game
Now that You know who has been nerfed I can go back in ranked, I keep getting losses tho.
@YourLocalChonker Dude they added tokens to fix that issue, so the who PTW is not really and argument anymore LOL.
Are we still focusing on Dreadnaw first, or do we switch to Rotom now? Or are we splitting the team to fight over both?
@Snatcher still is pay 2 win. Just because they gave us tokens for 3 items, doesn't mean it isn't. If new items or characters get added which are better than the previous ones, you'd still be at a disadvantage until you get them to level 30. It shouldn't be like that to begin with so stop defending scummy business practices.
@YourLocalChonker I don’t know if you know it but the items are shared across your party (all your pokemon) so most attack items that you would use on greninja you can and probably also should use for cinderace and zeraora. Same goes for special attack items that you can equip on pikachu, venesaur, nintetales etc.
But yeah those tokens came in clutch for me but it’s very annoying that you can buy these items that allow to upgrade. I am now “stuck” with physical dmg characters. Good thing for me is that I mostly only play with friends if I play this game.
@YourLocalChonker
Buddy Barrier, Focus Band, Scope Lens
This works on every Pokémon.
@BrintaPap I'm aware, but if you play a variety of different classes like me, it gets pretty annoying being underpowered. Of course some items work, but others really aren't optimal.
@Screen any item "works". its what works the best is what you should be aiming for.
@YourLocalChonker What are you talking about? have you even played the game? like at all?
@Snatcher ive played it since day 2
@YourLocalChonker Well Being That I been playing through ranked, with almost the same setup, I just Don't understand how Its pay to win? Pay to win, is when your Paying for an advantage,
Yet as far as I know, you Don't have to pay, because they give you a ton of Tickets, The new tokens on top of that, Plus say if you have the items, you need some skill to actually win, Those items are not life or deat.
it takes over 3000 item enhancers to get ONE item to level 30. A MOBA SHOULDNT HAVE THIS SYSTEM AT ALL
@Snatcher if there's an option to win by paying, that's a PTW game.
@Snatcher Give up, it's easier for people to say p2w over and over than learn better tactics. Lack of skill is more likely the cause than having items of a couple less levels than opponents.
@UglyCasanova LOL I am, I'm not getting through to them.
Aw man my blastoise have been nerve
@YourLocalChonker you can just up to lvl 20
Man, this game has had a lot of patches.
