I basically just played enough to get the auto prizes and maybe a bit more and still got the top ranked rewards for silver and the top 10% for gold. Nothing for bronze either.

I'm not really into buying gems, but I'd like to support the game. What would be great would be a coin doubler, or at the least a package with a unique gold character or move. Something that is enticing to put some money into that isn't gems which you may or may not need.

I'm not really sure what you mean by my argument not holding water. What argument? I used an obviously exaggerated example of raising health by a huge amount to point out that you could make changes that would increase difficulty but not be fun. Do you disagree with this? I feel like you are...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall anyone stating they didn't want a challenge in the game. The growing number of complaints about the current AI are generally more about how it's rather a dull way to increase difficulty. Heck you could increase AI characters health 2000% and it...

I was wondering this, but it depends how draws are done. Since it's hidden information, we don't know if draws come from the entire pool, or a % chance of drawing from each tier.

Yeah, I actually found I was trying a lot more different strategies prior to this patch. There certainly was an issue where you could exploit the AI at times, but when I lost a match do to actually being out-comboed, I'd trying different character set-ups and different attack patterns. Now it...

You may disagree, and you are certainly welcome to your opinion, but the newer players I've talked to or seen posting seem to be having a frustrating time progressing. My gold characters are at around 3200 power, so I'm guessing I'm about mid-ranged, and I'm seeing the tail-end of the issue...

I'm saving my shards as well. As I just mentioned, one player stated they used 25 and got only 2 silvers. I can't recall if that is comparable to pre-patch. I do seem to remember going through a lot of draws because getting anything non-bronze though. Edit: hah, ninja'd!

You're assuming they can finish the story mode, or will want to if they are not enjoying the turtling AI early on. Depending on their draws/ability this simply may not be viable for newer players, especially as low level grind is now not a effective. You are not guaranteed anything in draws...

Freeblade, a free rails shooter that has seen success on iOS, has events for multiple level ranges. There are events for every 10 levels or so, and these allow newer players to compete and earn rewards throughout their gaming experience, without ever feeling totally overwhelmed.

Oh I farmed it too, I'm just not convinced that the payout was really that spectacular for the time, even if just starting a fight and going afk, needed to be sunk into it. This change doesn't really affect me, as I have a solid enough collection to get gold/exp from other sources, but it seems...

Yeah, this is yet another issue the newest patch has introduced that doesn't particularly affect players with a solid character collection, but seems to punish newer players. I know a recent poster over at toucharcade's forums had been having difficulty starting out trying to grind gold and exp...

I'm not disagreeing it's a boring method to get coins, but I don't believe it was really effective enough to warrant such a notiable nerf. It basically just reduces the ways new players can grind coins. The prize fights a certainly great once you have a bit of a collection, but at 4 energy per...

Thanks!

That's a great point, if you could at least do leg sweeps to counter high blocks and high attacks to counter low blocks, the turtling wouldn't feel like it drained all the strategy out of the game as it currently does.

Yeah, the current AI was just a poor choice to increase difficulty. It's similar to when some games dramatically increase a boss's health on a higher difficulty. Rather than be a fun challenge, it ends up just prolonging a similar fight and making it feel stale. A better choice here would be...

I honestly don't understand why they made story mode less appealing to replay. Really 600 gold a win wasn't exactly game breaking when later skill tree abilities are costing 100k to unlock.

I was getting the same bug with the bronze prize fight. My friend was too and we are both using iPad Pro 12"s. It was weird as everything else worked fine.

Are we going to have the ability to edit our account names? When I linked to my Facebook it set my account name as my real name which I'd rather change as more multiplayer content is added.

Yeah, I'd agree with this. It's not like the new AI is unbeatable, it's simply that the "strategies" needed to counter turtling are really boring. Pre-patch combat felt almost cathartic as you landed hits and won or lost based on your ability to combo and plan your specials.
