  1. I tested your map on expert, didn't realize it was only meant to be played on standard, I suffered for nothing 🤣. One of my favorite BOTs so far.
  2. An all female deck is actually pretty strong as you have bloodhorn, necrofury and winter witch. We've done a challenge like this before it's actually pretty fun.
  3. Welcome to the game, hope you like your welcome gift 😄
  4. if anyone needs any cards for the event contact me IGN: Little_Ducky
  5. I would like to touch of this concept of reward vs effort. My highly experienced friend and I just took 2 random players through some rPvE 10s, one was a new player playing a really bad stonekin deck even for rpve 9, the other is a veteran with a solid 3 Fire orb deck. Neither of them have ever played 10s before, this was evident in the first game. These 2 players truly highlighted the issue with this achievement. Our new stonekin player was super arrogant and kept commenting how easy this was and that they cleared their T2 by themselves, please note this was onenof the easiest possible bandit 10, didn't even have flying t2. They pretty much ran behind me collecting their t3 & T4 orbs, being a nuisance by coldsnapping the enemy while I'm diving with my phoenixes and late game freezing my frenetics. After the game, they said "see that was easy, I best 10s easily", needless to say I kicked them. They had no interest in being a team player, had almost no game knowledge and was clearly there for the achievement boosters. On the other hand we had our humble veteran, who immediately acknowledged his deck was not suited for 10s and asked to clone our decks and learn to play it properly. We then took him through another 2 games, we lost but we didn't care because we had heaps of fun showing him how to play. With his rank he clearly wasn't playing 10s for the boosters, he was willing to put in the effort required. Going into rpve 10 with the mindset of putting in minimal effort and wanting rewarded for it is the wrong mindset. I liken this to the mindset where new players expect to be carried through expert maps for their achievements. Unlike maps 1 weak link in 10s can undo 3 other player's efforts, so people should think about that when commenting on elitism.
  6. Please note that this month's 2p motm 10 is extremely easy and can be beaten with any deck, I cleared the entire T3 & T4 row with just 3 phoenixes. Even the post T4 camps were super easy, similar to a rPvE 9. Sadly 80-90% of rpve 10 maps are much much harder than this one. Even the current 4p for a LS map is nowhere near as hard as it could be, myself and a few other guys beat it comfortably first attempt yet I know of another player newish to 10s playing a non-meta deck who's played it multiple times and has yet to beat it. Volin, myself and all other veteran players are more than happy to teach people to play 10s if they come in with solid 9s experience and a meta deck. We are talking about they players with Level 30 stonekin deck or pure nature decks which will clearly not cut it in 10s, expect to be carried and are there just for the boosters. rPvE 10 is not a beginner mode, we shouldn't need to have to cater it to beginners, it is an advanced mode. If anyone wants to label me an rPvE snob then I'll take it on the chin because anyone who knows me will know how many players I've taught.
  7. In any other game a beginner wouldn't join a pro or semi pro game, if you did and asked these players to instruct you beforehand you would get kicked out of the lobby. The first thing they would say is learn basics first before rejoining. rPvE 10 is not a beginner mode that you can just 'try', it is the hardest mode in the game and extremely unforgiving. rPvE 10 requires a high deck level, a semi-meta or meta deck so you can hold your own and not be a liability to your team. If you would like to try the rPvE 10 then there is the 1p option but to join a 4p rPvE 10 and expect to be carried to get your boosters is being selfish. Veteran 10s players are actually being bullied by new players when we say they need to learn the basics before joining 10s.

  12. Not a fan of a spring forge being locked behind that achievement tbh, community map based achievements should be inclusive not exclusive. It should have been beat the featured maps on any difficulty level
  13. if you don't like competing against speedrunners you should consider playing in pve league, you compete against people of your own rank and skill level in separate divisions. We have complete newbies aka low silver ranks winning challenges all the time
  14. All I can say is you are a saviour to League admins, we've been using your website to verify replays and decks for a long time now. Beautifully laid out and super easy to use, thank you!!! You're the best 🤩
  15. I dare say we have at least 5x the number of '10s' players but only a dozen players have managed to beat motm 10, this speaks volumes about quality vs quantity. I'm hearing a lot of 'I'll wait for an easy month to get my 10 boosters', it's disappointing to say the least but sadly it is a reflection of the current state of the 10s scene
  16. Hi everyone season 2 has started but feel free to join us anytime throughout the season
  17. Clear both camps in T2 row of the 4p motm 10 starting with anything except fire T1 in under 8mins the 1000bfp is yours. If you're wondering mana wings and shamans don't work, many have told me 😄 In all seriousness if we are talking about locking the achievement behind ranks, archon (pve rank 14) is reasonable because it is at that rank where players have all the cards in the game (possibly only missing a few promos) therefore they are not playing it for the sole purpose of acquiring boosters. Locking the achievement behind 9s will have zero impact because being able to play 9s has zero correlation with knowing how to cope with 10s.
  18. hi Pok100, you are 100% correct in saying that rPvE 10 is an entirely different beast and that one cannot be expected to reach that level without properly investing time to learning how to play it the proper way. 90% of beginners/intermediates get hard carried without knowing it, recently and Volin and I have left those without a proper deck to fend for themselves to actually show them that their deck and/or strat is not up to 10s standard. I've even put a 1000bfp bounty on motm 10 to highlight to players exactly how bad 10s can actually get, sadly the motm this month isn't even the worst possible scenario one can encounter. The veteran rPvE 10 community are all open to teaching new players the basics if you bring a proper deck and you don't have a 'I already know everything' attitude. I often send those wanting to learn 10s the proper way to Volin because he is arguably one of our most experienced rPvE players in the game and is an amazing teacher. Volin will happily spend as much time with you as required until you understand the basics, it's not uncommon for him to spend 3-4hrs helping people starting out. People don't need to read guides, Volin has a Twitch channel with videos explaining how to play 10s for people who are interested and as an added bonus he has a lovely German accent even an Aussie like me can understand xD
  19. There's a forum post by Anske all about fire, that may serve as inspiration for campaign maps, it's called Pure Fire Campaign - PvE - Skylords Reborn
  20. As it currently stands u have 2 camps of people. The experienced players like fundus who are gatekeeping and will only play amongst themselves, I never did this before as I love playing with randoms but now I am forced to. The other camp of people is players wanting their boosters and have no interest in making progressions with rPvE 10 or have any desire to learn to play it properly. Experienced players or people want to learn to play 10s properly tend to be at a point in their game where they don't actually need these boosters. I believe the purpose of the achievement was to get more people playing rPvE 10, but nearly everyone who's gotten their boosters don't touch 10s ever again
  21. People can just reroll until they get an easy 1p rPvE 10 to win it and they can get hard carried in an easy 2p map too. Then we will start seeing the above issues in 2p rPvE 10 too, this is not currently the case thankfully
  22. I was the one who suggested pve rank 10 minimum to Windhunter but now having played with many ember and platinum ranks who are ill equipped, rank is not a good deteminant. I wish everyone had the same attitude towards 10s instead of diving in blindly and praying for the best. If u ever want to learn 10s contact me ingame, I can show u the basics This is considered gatekeeping and promotes elitism, both of which I do not want. Volin and I are not talking about winning or losing, I was just saying to Volin a few days ago saying how funny it was that i used to have a 25% win rate with 3 other guys all playing meta decks aka bloodhorn or bata. We learnt from our mistakes and relished in the occasional victory, we never once had any regrets losing because we gave it our all. Players now, particularly the ill prepared ones who join for the boosters almost pre-emptively expect a win and will quit the moment they see anything harder than an easy bandit. Yes we now have quantity but super low quality sorry if this sounds harsh. Volin and I used to run rPvE workshops for beginners, they almost never filled because people "knew everything" when in reality that is far from the truth
  23. I agree with Volin that the rPvE 10 achievement should be removed because it is extremely undesirable to play random rPvE 10 anymore. It is nigh on impossible nowadays to create a random 10s lobby without having a silver rank or gold rank that needs to be hard carried. Even with the pve rank 10 lock on the 10s achievement we are getting people joining 10s unprepared or overconfident in their decks and abilities due to some easy motms and ultimately letting an entire team down. We're rude if we kick them and if we say that a stonekin deck with mana wings and shamans is not equipped for rPvE 10 we get arguments that it is a viable strat even against LS. I've been labeled non-team player when I refuse to mine and erupt for players who can't clear and easy bandit T2. A few players I know have actually resorted to gatekeeping lobbies or just play in premade groups. I know Volin would bend over backwards to help anyone get started with rPvE 10 if they are competent in 9s and have an appropriate deck for 10s
