Diloracherius And Compsoraptor, Megalotops Nerf

[pale snow]

Megalotops doesn’t deserve a nerf, it is well balanced and has drawbacks such as uh, any resilient creature really.

[sour ether]

i think they are just annoyed

[pale snow]

True. I used to dislike them when i was at aviary.

[rain flume]

Megatops I have no trouble with at all

[true drum]

Megalotops is definitely broken but the scorpion have overshadowed it by this point

Determined strike is way too much for an epic hybrid to have and it should just be more resilient in general, it's almost all cunning and gets pretty much nothing from nasuto

[rain flume]

It does help against Rexy

[true drum]

It's kind of gotten powercrept in legendary and with the new cat it's not useful for killing rexy anymore

None of the 3 are op. If you're crying nerf, cry about epic scorpion

[true drum]

The thing is they were op and the fact that they aren't after being strong so recently says more about the game than the initial strength of any creature

Although megalotops is definitely still a top epic but nerfing will do nothing but make it easier for something else to take its place, one nerf on its own is no longer effective

Epic scorpion shouldn't exist

[hexed scaffold]

nor should dilo, Ankylos lux, unique scorpion, Apex Indo, and about 20 other dinos if you want good balance.

[true drum]

Lol ok. Sure

[hexed scaffold]

I am quite serious, and my point of view is shared by quite a few people. Going from top rank players down to those in aviary and lower.

[true drum]

Sure lol

[hexed scaffold]

Fine no balance then, more scorpion epics, bring them on. Rexy is prefectly fine, as is compsoraptor.

[true drum]

Now you get it. Also, not many things you said are actually broken. Dilo is just okay

[wise moss]

Dilo definitely is overpowered.
The only reason it doesn’t look like it is because of powercreep.
If dilo was buffed a couple of updates previous to the one where it was buffed, dilo would have been dominating the arena.

[reef hazel]

Nerf everything you dont have and kills you. Grt one and use. Both have many counters. Build a better team.

[hexed scaffold]

I don't think you got my point. in order to balance the game correctly, none of the creatures i listed should exist as they are right now.

What you are calling for is just strieght up power creep to get them out. not fixing the issue, which is what is killing the game.

[hexed scaffold]

I am going to call for nerfs on things i would have or use.

I don't need to use it, to know it is not balanced.

[true drum]

No

[hexed scaffold]

believe what you want. Dilo among many others need a nerf to bring the game back to a balanced state, rather than waiting for the next update to release the next meta threat, that shall be better than the last ones.

[true drum]

Don't you think it's even a small issue that most creatures don't last more than 2-4 months now and it's impossible to keep up without a lot of money to throw at the game?

[true drum]

That's not the only reason people want these things to be nerfed, dilorach is really easy to get and I use it along indonemys and others but that doesn't mean I want them to be stronger or to be removed only by powercreep and not direct action

[reef hazel]

Almost noone uses it in the top. Compso has several counters. Use scorpion.

[true drum]

The one you have to pay for to have over level 25ish? Not everyone wants to or can spend money to max new creatures and buy boosts all the time

[reef hazel]

So, you want to ruin others' game because you r too lazy to play. I have a lvl30 compso, and i didnt pay for it. Have 35+ lvl30 creature. I have been playing for 4 years now. Start to play and stop complaining. And yes ludia made it p2win in the Last year.

[true drum]

I don't want to ruin other people's experience and I don't think balance will do that, so many creatures are completely worthless and it ruins people's game when the things they invested in become useless

Compsoraptor's time is already over and it's about to meet the same fate as dilo now that pyrorixis and geminideus exist

I think the mentality of denouncing anyone who doesn't approve of rapid powercreep as lazy or incompetent does nothing but allow it to continue at an increasing rate until it kills this game, if an epic outclassing dozens of uniques and apexes doesn't sound like unhealthy game design then I don't know what it would take to get people to think powercreep is bad

[hexed scaffold]

That is a very toxic stance. Good luck convinving people to continue playing the game. If Get good, is your only recourse.

Rebalancing the game is about fixing it for EVERYONE, not just the top players.

[true drum]

I don't think unlocking the new epic and crushing teams hundreds of trophies and over 10 levels above you is "getting good"

[hexed scaffold]

Not talking about your, comment the one above yours.

[true drum]

I know, I was just adding on

[hexed scaffold]

fair enough.

[true drum]

If powercreep is good and the only thing you need to do is play to keep up then why does people's work and investment become useless in 3 months or why can a level 11 epic kill 30/30 apexes and uniques that were good just one update ago? There's no way anyone can say what Jamcity is doing to this game is good

[hexed scaffold]

I might also add on the "Get Good" subject, please tell me all about the competitively designed halo 5 and how well that went. As to my knowledge, it became one of the most hated halo games to the point most won't speak of it as a halo game.

[true drum]

Exactly, if you're already on top then you don't know how bad it hits the lower levels or ftp people because you just get everything right away so powercreep seems perfectly normal for the top 1000-500

[wise moss]

Yeah no, the fact that you say that you just have to get the scorpion is such a P2W stance.
Or you forgot that:
1st most people don’t want to invest their life savings and ruin their relationships for JWA.

2 most people also don’t get as many rewards as you since they aren’t on top of the leaderboard. So this means it’s way harder to follow constant meta shifts.

[true drum]

Nah, just play a different game

[hexed scaffold]

How about we try and save the game before it dies. As if it keeps on going at this rate. it will.

Specially with toxic players like you.

[true drum]

It's a lot easier to pretend something doesn't exist or isn't a problem if it doesn't directly affect you

[calm radish]

Megalotops is fine, just stop trying to kill it with Fierce or Cunning.

[true drum]

Megalotops is definitely not the most important thing to take care of now but it's in need of some kind of nerf if a large scale rebalance was ever done, the only thing I would do to it right now is nerf the strike

Determined strike is way too powerful compared to daring and heavy so it should lose some of its effects, maybe attack increase removal and precise/vulnerable

[reef hazel]

I dont invest in the game, and i can achieve a lot. Maybe because i dont whine all the time. I play a lot.

[wise moss]

And yet you are at the top of the arena, where you either need to spend money or make JWA one of the things you spend the most time on.
Congratulations on your dedication but the game shouldn’t be centred on the top 5% of players. It should be made to be enjoyable even if you can’t play 5 hours a day or don’t have infinite money.
Also as I said, you get more rewards the higher you are on the leaderboard, both for tournaments and arena. This means you usually get more rewards which makes the constant meta shifts easier to cope with unlike players in lower arenas. This means you have to invest even more the lower you are if you want to progress.

[reef hazel]

Yes but the New creatures always beat the old ones. If you start now, you can easier to climb to a certain level. I get my DNa from donation and fip. And dedicsted to a certain creature. I play for 4 years now, why should a newbie reach the level i reached?

[hexed scaffold]

I have played 4 years the nerf is needed as skip should win, not pay to win creatures without counters

[reef hazel]

Everyone has counters

[hexed scaffold]

Right, so that is why the indo apex Beats cunning resilient and fierce on a regular bases.

[reef hazel]

Apex indo in not in the best 12. Swap a flock.

And not every creature should have equal strength

[wise moss]

Tbh anyone can reach the level you’re at if they give JC enough money.
However, it’s easier to unlock creatures I’ll grant you that, but actually climbing into the arena isn’t because there’s always a new creature more op than the ones before it that makes progressing as a F2P much worse than you think.
Because I don’t know if you remember, but three years ago there wasn’t a new meta each month that meant you had to trash two members of your team.
Actually the creatures you had on your team didn’t have to change that often.

[reef hazel]

We can agree, the game became p2w. The every month meta is áll about money. But i Just dont like the whining, nerf this nerf that. The newbies needs focis only the New ones 🤷. Why not buff this buff that? Cera, hadros rules the arena , and now?

[true drum]

But they shouldn't always beat the old ones, old and new creatures should both be usable, whether you like constant powercreep or not it's unfair for everything to become useless almost as soon as ftps get it, also using fips to max a new unique would take months unless you buy bundles and have a sanc co-op, which is longer than the creature is good for

[reef hazel]

I didnt Say they shouldnt. I said what the situstion is. 🤗

[true drum]

Every creature in the same rarity should be on a relatively equal level, it doesn't make sense for uniques to be worse than epics and legendaries

I would use pulmonoscorpius over half of the uniques in this game on my pvp team and that is completely messed up and a sign that there's a problem

[wise moss]

I don’t think nerfing everything is good either, however some do need nerfs while others could be buffed like scaphotator and megalosuchus.

[hexed scaffold]

What most of us want, is a 2.0 kind of update, which does a major rebalancing of EVERYTHING

[stoic geyser]

tbf the only thing that actually needs a nerf is dilorach. Megalotops is very balanced (at least imo) due to it having like barely any resistances and also due to it's low attack, Compso isnt too bad either, it can use a slight nerf but imo not too bad, it's also gotten very powercrept recently. Dilorach I do agree with however due to the spammable heals and full counter.
