Great to see a big improvement on the Brawl roster……

[celest radish]

Clearly this shows the direction that Ludia is taking now!

Everything we asked for the Brawl roster has been ignored and the money grab is even greater this time round.

Every aspect of the game is monetised now to the point at which we need a sizeable bank account or very flexible credit card in order to get anywhere.

This is an unashamed and appalling roster that merely serves the whales, and ignores the huge % of players who don’t spend a fortune to get the latest dinos first.

There seems to be no middle ground any more.

[slate shadow]

I don't care about the roster, I care that the roster is near unchanged 😥

[flint harness]

The change is nothing, still apex and unique, they did almost nothing, and I almost bet all the Brawl bugs still exist

[slate shadow]

The raritys don't matter to me, it is the creatures picked, the main meta is still there, at least only cheater is arctos now

But still

[flint harness]

They have ruined the purpose of Brawl, higher rarity wasn’t planned to ever enter Brawl, and it needs to stay that way

[slate shadow]

Only thing i have found bout that is they picked legendary as a START because most creatures weren't ready

Staying legendarys would be just as boring imo

[flint harness]

Not even close

It was literally stated they planned to keep it legendary and down

[flint harness]

That’s where the fun of weekly creatures came

[slate shadow]

I think they need that anyway, instead of being nearly exactly the same 3 in a row

[flint harness]

Literally States nothing about allowing additional rarity

[slate shadow]

Like ideally every season or 2 changing raritys

[slate shadow]

"For the brawl launch"

"We are also exploring all options"

[flint harness]

That doesn’t mean more options

Where I’m going at is when the design lead was in JWA gamepress it was stated that it was supposed to stay legendary max

[slate shadow]

It means legendarys aren't set in stone, it means they chose those to launch it while they explore other options

[flint harness]

That’s most likely ludia bypassing the original plan of Brawl

Because they can

[slate shadow]

Tbf that was jamcity still

Although glad they did on that part

I just hope they do something more when it comes to changing rosters

[flint harness]

It was owned but it doesn’t mean ludia did not take part

[flint harness]

I just want the design lead back to change back to what it once was, Brawl is crap now

[slate shadow]

I must say, it wasn't great then either, unfortunately they did better at seasonal rotation

Though I hated the fact you got like 1 months every year

[flint harness]

I liked it better back then, as I have legendary as one of my torny focuses I do really good on anything legendary based

[slate shadow]

I like the rewards and matchmaking changes though (even if i think they should instead reset internal score every season)

[flint harness]

But I didn’t appreciate them restricting our days

[celest radish]

You do realise I was being sarcastic don’t you?
This brawl season focuses entirely on the newest dinos and if that’s the way it’s gonna be then it might as well be the regular PvP teams taking part.

[flint harness]

How was we supposed to know that 🤣

[celest radish]

From my message that made it perfectly clear

[slate shadow]

Brawl is fun, but legendarys are not it permanently, I would love if we got a season allowing lycan, ref, etc, but I also think they need more rotation, so everyone can join sometimes (like every season or 2 as I have said)

[flint harness]

I would rather just keep it like it was it was a better balance for all players, now you either have meta stuff and or suffer, which isn’t fair

[celest radish]

Brawl is now just a way for them to encourage players who want to win to buy the latest dinos instead of giving us a chance to use dinos that just sit on the bench forever

[flint harness]

My point exactly with it originally planned to stay legendary, but of course they had to throw away original plans

I liked first 2 seasons

The last 2 have been crap

[celest radish]

And still we see some people saying it’s down to JC who left almost 3 months ago

[flint harness]

I actually don’t think they had much to do with Brawl in the first place but took over once allowed days per week was restricted

[slate shadow]

Tbf there is a meta in every season, which not having invested in is a disadvantage

[slate shadow]

The first apex one was good, but then nothing changed

[flint harness]

Legendary is really easy to work on, so it can stay legendary the weekly was needed to keep stuff interesting so every team isn’t the exact same

[slate shadow]

They just need more changes, not just 1 or 2 creatures

[celest radish]

Look at the way it has the newest apex and unique dinos every season.

[flint harness]

I wouldn’t even call that a change

[slate shadow]

And yet the main meta is wolf, panda, tdac, amp, spinotops, and the occasional other things

[flint harness]

Wolf has been removed

[slate shadow]

The only somewhat W I see, people will just use panda though

So not a huge difference

[flint harness]

Yeah unfortunately I’m gonna have to figure out a way to tank hits also

[celest radish]

As soon as that new apex is built up by the top 200 players it will be in every top team

[slate shadow]

Last season roster should have maybe kept 1 or 2 things

This season again

[flint harness]

I’m just happy there’s no nomirex

[slate shadow]

Meta needs to shift, honestly while I don't want a permanent apex removal, it is time for a shift

[slate shadow]

Literally the thing i lost last season

[flint harness]

Proto got removed to thankfully, no annoying staller

Still gotta deal with the rino apex

[slate shadow]

Leggys got 2 seasons, sounds perfect for a rarity rotate

[flint harness]

I want legendary back

[slate shadow]

I think epic should be next

[flint harness]

That would be interesting

Gigant tho 🤣

My lvl 26

[slate shadow]

Honestly rare and commons aren't great for brawl, and unique is more what this brawl is than apex

[flint harness]

Except that dumb amp unique

[slate shadow]

Tdac, amp, panda were on like every team

[flint harness]

Yep

[lament hinge]

This roster is even worse than the last one

[celest radish]

Yep - absolutely 💯

[exotic notch]

You know, I do admire the way you write. But regarding the game, guess we're gonna have a lot of droppers!

[lament hinge]

I fight aviary teams at sorna marshes 🤣

[celest radish]

Thanks, but as I’ve said before - venting here is solely to try and relieve my own frustration.

Expecting positive change is like trying to prevent the tide from coming in!

They have literally made this brawl season so much worse, and not a single comment anywhere over the past few months actually asked them to make Brawl become a mirror of PvP.

So as long as I remember that asking for anything other than what they want to do is a waste of time it’s all good!

And yes, we will see so many more droppers as a result of this. As if we don’t have enough already!

[exotic notch]

Indeed. It's clearly part of the mess of Ludia being sold many times. But that's fine, in the end. We've already lived the best years of the game. Let people complain while we warn them that every creature gets nerfed.

I got gryganyth since I didn't do the Isla event
