week 1 finish update

Android device (lvl 37) couldn’t cut the mustard. My birds are mastery 5,6, or 7 and I have a few matched sets (although none of them are level 37). I could barely win a few of the matches on that device at all since every opponent has matched sets and better mastery. Finished below 3rd, did not advance. Got a matched freezing banner set, made no difference.

iOS device (level 17) finished second without playing on two of the days. My device is overpowered against all the opponents because I have level 5 and 6 mastery birds and a few set matches. This event enables the device to continue to avoid leveling up while buying mastery upgrades with the snoutlings.

Thing is – since the introduction of mastery I’ve been thinking that there is a disincentive to level up. The events, castle, caves match the level of your birds, so leveling up doesn’t give any advantage at all. The better advantage comes from mastery. All I’ve done on my iOS device is play enough to unlock chronicles, then stopped. I’ve participated (marginally) in the events, which is why it has the mastery levels, but I don’t run the caves and haven’t farmed any snoutlings or mastery. Better to just sit, I guess.

I still disdain the arena. I think the side-effect of a p2w pvp arena is that it’s drawn in lots of players who will “compete” in the rest of the game. The events are also “pvp” in that there is a leader board. I really enjoyed the game, but it looks like the future content is just “competition” in some kind of ranked event with other players who are obviously “better” than me. I just wanted to plod along and enjoy game progress, but there may be no future updates to progress through. Oh well. It was a pretty fun ride. I’ll enjoy it while I still get some fun out of it :).
