It is similar to all games. PvE exists bec at the end there is a reason to grind for PvP. Even if u never played a single PvP match, u still grind to eventually challenge someone with full pvp deck, even if u don't plan playing PvP. GameDev teams analysing data from PvE/PvP games come up to the conlusion that players prefer PvE over PvP because there is a difference in playablity. Teams focus on developing Pve and dont care about pvp. At the end there is only pvp and showcase in front of others, u collect cards to show of, to posses. PvP doesnt need free cards, why would someone need free PVP cards, asigning free PvP cards was the worst idea u could ever think of. U unlock cards and grind with PvE and build PvP Deck. How do u want to grind with PvP decks? Tell me whoever came to the conclusion that unlocking free pvp decks is a good idea. U should do it like they did it originally, there are free cards every week so people grind PvE with free "random" cards. Do u think that EA didnt consider unlocking pvp decks? They hired Product Owners/Product Managers for 100k$ month and came up to the conclusion to not do this. Why do u think they decided not to do it? Someone unlocking whole collection doesnt change anything. He will stop playing eventually, he is not a future of this project, not your target audience. He doesnt affect anything if he plays or not. My opinion is that PvE/PvP drafts/sealed modes would change this game. BF has thousands of fans who are dedicated, but asleep.

Drafts/sealeds can be also for PvE. U draft with 4 people to team up with them and beat the map with the drafted cards. It would make people laugh. Making a working engine is not so time consuming, u just ad 2-3 lines to determine "certain stuff". PvP is dead, because the playerbase is low and to play PvP u need all tier 3 upgraded pvp deck, if u have tier 3 pvp deck u spent on game billions hours and u don't want to sweat and grind on pvp. Draft would change that, because for "relatively" low entrance cost, new players could play the game and compete "on equal terms" with other players. Skill is dependant, You could always make more or less specific ranks for drafts to make the game more fair. Noone wants to grind for 6 months just to be able to play pvp game normally. After all these resets, not so many people stayed. Losing whole collection and starting over is exhausting. Why would sb waste 10 months of hard and exhausting grinding if the game dies in a long run. U basically get tired and don't feel rewarded for doing good in pvp grind and it consumes much more energy than pve. Playing PvE u can flex, show of your cards, skills, help your teammate, beat PvE together. Drafts/other game modes are different, U join them for a flat entrance fee and u just play without any limitations. In Hearthstone the most played mode is "Battlegrounds" and it looks fine, u compete with others with equal chances for the same entrance cost. Skill is based on ranking. Games don't die because there is too much sweaters/flamers/angry kids in it, it dies because it gets boring and pointless to grind. I don't think that gathering 4 "similar division" players would be challenging. This game has a lot of sleepers, a lot of fans who are waiting for something to come back to, I didn't join discord, but I wouldn't feel shocked if there is a listening, dormant community out there.

Don't get me wrong but implementing PvE modes like LOR did (u draft with yourself) is boring. They closed the mode forever and asked why noone bothered playing it. Competition is fun, outsmarting your enemy. cooperating with other players. This is a trading card game man, not a "dino and the aliens", u collect/upgrade cards mostly to flex in front of other people, Why would I want to challenge myself. I would prefer to challenge others instead. BF is not lacking multiplayer content, it was created as multiplayer, but it could be even more multiplayer focused.

Something like "choose a runner" feature could be a solution where u choose tier 1 unit from 3 given options at the beg of drafting from outside the game.

Hey guys, I didnt say that helping develop the non-profit SR project is wrong, I said I would be useless as a non-technical support so I can't help myself. I don't remember tome mode in BF so my knowledge is limited in this matter. You are right about the 1orb thing, but it could be manipulated/changed, like booster packs in drafts contain x2 tier I units and other cards. Or else. It is a matter of gameplay/balance.

Everything is a matter of balance. U draft cards to avoid playing with "unplayable cards" from different colours. Same as MTG, u can't build a 4-color deck, u need to draft wisely and carefully. I am not a dev myself. I co-run a GameDev studio as a non-technical co-founder and we dont have resources to develop projects that don't belong to us. Just mentioning that implementing draft mode into BF/SR would be something new and hopefully both present and future players would love it.

I meant Skylords Reborn not BF. Not tournament, just an additional game mode - a DRAFT mode. You should implement another game mode in your game - Skylords Reborn - to entertain players and ad some valuable content to the Game. Drafts are complex, this game mode needs to be implemented into the game. Otherwise players will be forced to use 3rd party software to conduct the "drafting process" and then check if they have "certain" cards in their collection, etc. etc. Instal MTG arena and check how it works. U will know what I mean. It would be a gamechanging experience, playing matches with cards u drafted vs 7 other players in your lobby. I would play it for hours. 🙂 Just a thought, I work in GameDev myself and I am a huge fan of Card Games and other creations based on Card Games such as BF/Skylords Reborn.

It is something else. Ingame modes that u can join to compete with other players, draft with them, steal their cards in the process to win ingame rewards and on the other side some fandom tourneys. These are two different things. Tbh I have never played a community tourney in my life (in any game: HS/MTG arena/HEX TCG/GWENT, maybe I should, but I think there is more ppl like me who avoid fandom tournaments. I understand that implementing such an ingame game mode requires a lot of resources (mostly work), but if u plan to develop Skylords Reborn u should consider implementing something spicy in the game. BF has mechanics that appear one in a million so this game is worth being developed. I would draft for sure. MTG Arena drafts are most played mode. People in CCG GameDev underestimate the hidden potential of draft mode.

By implementing the modes into the game.

Fair gameplay and competing with other people + draft fun

I would gladly play a limited mode.
