^^ Obligatory post lol.

Most of the game is just logging in for rewards tbh.  I do classic to complete the daily and for medals.  When the gh is full I'm not sure how I'll feel.  I also want to work out more/better teams and maybe someday I'll actually leave up a defense and see if I can't move toward platinum.  Agreed it will be interesting when the new tier system goes live.  

I admit I have not progressed as far in TT as I'd like; need to build better teams; kind of lame for the champs I have. But I do it daily for the advanced quests and to a lessor extent for the gold bars.

By far my biggest objection to tag is the number of available matches and the weighting of points for them.

I think tag *could* be fun - it's pretty much the only place in the game you need to constantly be changing ideas. But 20 free runs per day + easily another 20 from refills just kills it. An average tag fight, between planning teams out, loading times, and actually doing the fight, takes around 5-10 minutes for me. I am not going to sit infront of my phone for 2-3 hours just to be competitive in tag.

Reduce the number of free runs to 3, give one tag refill that adds 3 more, and don't allow buying of refills. Keep everything else the same. That'll make it interesting.

Just another 39749 gold medals to go...

A thread, just for me?

😂😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 

Hmm...

So we tell noobs to grind until their eyes bleed to compete in classic G4, but this ask for a maximum of 6 tag matches per day to allow everyone to compete in tag casually is a way to make it "interesting" ...

Get good should apply the same to classic and tag, no?

I might enjoy tag if i didnt already feel like doing just my dailies was a full time job

Even when not actively playing i have something or other running on auto click half the evening.

Have never gone higher than S4.

Advancing in tag is a 10,000 foot wall.

@Trips When you DO find time for Hydra, you may find that Tag is still your favorite content. I have not enjoyed the Hydra experience at all, so far.

Am I the lone masochist on the forum who actually kind of enjoys hydra, and definitely more than tag? 

yes yes you are, because it has almost over taken my loatheing of PVP in this game but not yet but soon and it has only been out a month 😁

You might be. I do not enjoy it. The needing to do things 10x or more in the hope of RNG working out in your favor drives me nuts.

I like to use my game time building teams that can Full Auto content. whether DT, CB, arena, etc... And Hydra is the opposite of that. You build a team, then spend an hour or more trying to get a specific champ swallowed, a specific head to respawn, a block buffs to possibly land, and if that doesn't happen, the run is over. Regroup, manual again.

I don't know if this is full auto-able (due to needing to maximize Geo A3 with head of Wrath proc'ing vengeance) but I can tell you through two runs it has had about zero variance (150 and 180 turns, second run included more HP for Geo, more DEF/HP for brago)

The hydra is just too much to keep track of at once for me. It's not so much that I couldn't if I really wanted to, but it's just exhausting and never seems to work out anyway whenever some random buff or debuff lands or misses. I just try to hit the top chest on normal with as little effort as I can get away with and leave it at that (which this rotation could've been a 1 key affair, had I used my 2nd team initially).

I think harle nailed it.  99.9% of the end game playerbase that should actually be fighting hydra, can't stand hydra.  I think i've ran into 2 or 3 people that enjoy the manual/RNG aspect of it.

Everyone else see's it as a giant time waster, throw in your team, hope for rng, reset when it doesn't hit your way, repeat until you get a score you're happy with and keep a close eye on it the entire run so you can manual when you need too.  Not enjoyable.

People are screaming for QoL improvements to spend less time in the game.  This is the opposite.

I really enjoy DT and have many challenges left in it, grinding out some of the higher level DT hard secret rooms is going to take some effort and I actually look forward to a lot of them.  With Hydra I'm just building 3 identical champs and trying to gear them.... what's the fun in that?

And just to be somewhat on topic and bring this back around... what are peoples thoughts on the need to run hydra?  Think the gear is going to become meta in arena so we'll all need it to stay competitive?

eewww red hair

What's wrong with red hair, hmm?

I am in a fairly decent clan, about half of us have finished doom tower hard, so we are a late midgame clan and suitable for hydra

But only half used their hydra keys this cycle, the feedback seems overwhelmingly negative. 

I am really starting to think that Plarium is forgeting that Games should be fun.

I don't think 'get gud' can apply to TAG the way it's set up, classic yes of course, but at some point in TAG you are going to hit a wall and unless you're a super whale not many will have offensive teams to beat the heavy defence teams and also have their own defense to deter the feeding near reset
