Ok thanks i guess i will have to be patient then.

So any plans on making Bandits harder or excluding them from Expert difficulty?
I have played quite a few matches vs Bandits and Bandits+Stonekin and i am very disappointed.
Stonekin+Bandits at least have a moderately difficult T3 and T4 with an XL unit and Windhunters but regular Bandit maps are just an insult to everyone who is looking for a challenge.
Bandit T3s and T4s are even easier than on Advanced++(lvl9) since there are no spawn buildings. In my opinion Bandit maps should either become harder or be excluded from Expert difficulty.
Stonekin+Bandits are still pretty easy but at least you can look forward to fighting difficult T3 and T4 bases.

I would like to say, and its not a hate comment and i hope i am not the only one:
that Bandits in 9. and new 9.5. difficulty feel like difficulty 5. and 5.5. Please change it once you have time and mood, to fit it more into level 9´s
we get 4 orb Units and we literally fight against 1 tortoise and t1 t2 Small and Medium units with poor defense. or we get swarmed with t1 units before we reach all monuments, instead of fighting some bigger sized ones or any more unique bandit units. ( Like Lancer, Gunner, or 1 Soulhunter would be challenging and not the hardest etc.)
Thank you for your hard work and nice updates.
Yes this is so disappointing Expert(lvl9.5) difficulty Bandit maps are WAY too easy they dont even feel like Advanced difficulty.
I was so excited about Expert difficulty because i always hated how easy lvl 9 Bandit maps were and now its the same all over again.
Now i have the choice between leaving and letting down my team or wasting 15-20 minutes playing something boring that offers absolutely no challenge. 😞
I am really enjoying all other factions Twilight Nature Fire and Lost Souls but Bandits and Bandit+Stonekin maps are just a massive disappointment.

Any idea when Battlegrounds lvl 9.5 will get released?
-
Thanks for the replies im glad you are aware of this problem and are trying to fix it of course i understand that other projects have higher priority.

Since Patch #400042 - 19 May 2023 rPvE 9 Lost Souls T2s are much easier than before the old hard T2s with 3 Spellbreakers 2 Manabeasts and 2 Lost Wanderers on the inner positions(2 and 3) have disappeared completely. To me this really looks like a shadow nerf but maybe its just a programming error or whatever you call it.
Im not sure if those replays help because this is not really a bug id also like to see comments from other enthusiastic rPvE 9 players like me because im 99% sure that something is wrong with Lost Souls maps.
-
New update released but this still isnt fixed...
-
Ok so its been almost 2 1/2 months any updates? I really miss the old hard lost souls T2s.
-
Right now i dont but ill upload one here as soon as possible. Also there is another weird thing i have noticed while 90% of lvl 9 Lost Souls maps have much easier t2 than before Patch#400042 there are maps where you get instantly attacked at t1 by Lost Spellbreakers unfortunately i dont have a replay but i have a screenshot.
Edit: This was on position 3.
-
It wasnt like that before the last Patch(#400042 - 19 May 2023).
-
So any update on this? I think nobody can deny that there is something wrong with lvl 9 Lost Souls.
-
Thanks for the responses. Yeah maybe im just unlucky but all T2s of lvl 9 LS matches i have played so far looked like this:
I cant remember ever encountering such easy LS T2s especially not multiple times in a row. After T2 everything seems fine.
-
Im never gonna get a response right?
-
Have there been made other chages to Lost Souls besides the Lost Wanderer change? The last rPvE 9 match i played was laughably easy at T2 there were only 2 squads of Minions 1 squad of fighters 1 healer and 1 spellbreaker. That was the easiest LS T2 i have ever encountered as far as i can remember.
Edit:
Werent Twilight Slayers nefed too? Because now they do less damage when an enemy unit is close to them or have they always been like that? Maybe im just paranoid but the 3 lvl 9 LS maps ive played so far seemed way too easy.

Well, I understand reasoning behind the idea why Discord used instead of Forum. Forums are quite dead nowdays.
Yeah but why are the Forums dead nowadays? Because Discord has better features? Why not implement those features here and bring the Forums back to life? I dont know why a game with such a small community needs 2 Forums. Im my opinion they should have never started using Discord in the first place.

In community driven project players who were charged by community to make changes has no rights to make such gamechanging changes without completely open discussion, when everyone can interfere and take look how they came to their conclusions about such changes. Instead of this we got secret unanounced nerf, which wasnt mentioned anywhere, besides secret private talks. Just in good old tradition of secret Nether Warp nerf, which was stopped only because it was noticed by pro players. Most shame decision making process in modern BF story, formerly known as community driven project.
Sadly this is true i complained about this too a while ago and they told me that they are making those important discussions on a site named "Disord". I have never used that site and i never will this are the Skylords Reborn Forums and all important discussions especially those about balancing changes should take place here.
A while ago i wrote this:
QuoteIm sure alot of players didnt even know about those changes before they were implemented putting notifications about balancing changes in the Events tab in game or creating a Balancing Changes tab could be a solution. In the old EA days everything regarding Battleforge was discussed on the forum id like to know what features make that Discord site so much better than the forum and why those features cant be implemented on the forum. I believe its just bad to split up the BF Community in 2 forums especially when it comes to important things like balancing changes but i might be wrong.

SoW nerf hurts but it makes sense but was the Satanael Nerf really necessary? When i was playing Satanael at T4 i always had performance issues but it was never even close to unplayable. Are there any players that had performance issues so bad that the game was unplayable for them? Satanael with Snapjaw spam was a very fun niche strategy and now there is no reason anymore to use him at T4.

Are you suggesting people would've brought up different points if it was? That the arguments would've changed one year later? What actually hasn't been said about these topics at this point? Even right here it devolved into yet another repeat with the same people talking about the same things ad neuseam. Some of which isn't even relevant anymore.
The discussion and community interaction was there, whether you like to acknowledge that or not. If anything the fact that part of it took place on Discord lead to more input not less. Also awfully selective to completely ignore all the times where things were adjusted or just downright thrown overboard based on community feedback. "Not what I wanted the result to be" or "Too few adjustments to the changes that count for me" does not equal "Nobody asks anyone about anything".

Balancing Discord
Ok first you guys dont want multiple language sections on the forum to not split up the community and then you outsource balancing discussions?
16 hours ago, Cocofang said:And there is literally a huge, old topic titled "Decomposer" on this forum with staff engagement.
The last post in that topic is from April 29, 2021 and its not even in the Balance Discussions section.
Edit:
I found another old thread about decomposer with a poll where the majority of people voted not to change it.

Enlightened Bata was ludicrously OP and everybody knew it.
This is absolutely not true for casual players sure if executed perfectly pre nerf Batariel was very strong maybe even OP but for casual players one man army Batariel decks were high risk high reward decks. I dont know mow much Battlegrounds lvl 9 you played before the Batariel nerf but I saw more players fail with one man army Batariel decks than with any other deck.I havent seen soneone with a one man army Batariel deck for a very long time but i tried it a couple of days ago and i was pretty underwhelmed.
I dont play much Battlegrounds lvl 10 but id really like to know if one many army Batariel decks are viable for BG 10 again. Now speaking of Bloodhorn if you nerf it too how exactly are players supposed to win hard BG 10 maps? Pre nerf Batariel decks and Bloodhorn decks are the best decks for BG 10 and even with those decks alot of players failed. And after you nerfed Bloodhorn whats gonna get nerfed next? Fire Dragons or Wasteland Terror + Unity and Bloodthirst? Powerful cards are needed for BG lvl 10.
Also i would really like to know why there was no topic about Batariel in the Balance Discussions part of the forum before he was nerfed you just made those changes without asking the BF community first. There are topics about Colossus and Necroblaster but not about Batariel.

Well, Primeval Watcher became 3 Green orb and Ghost Spears became 2 Green orb with
NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER. Ghost spears might not be Trash tier, but they're pretty much useless out of PVP and
Primeval Watchers are now actual Trash Tier useless cards.
Yeah changing Primeval to require 3 nature orbs really makes no sense to me its not like Watcher is so powerful that his orb requirements should be so restrictive. Bloodhorn for example is MUCH more powerful and only requires 1 shadow and 1 fire same applies to Gemeye,which by the way recieved a buff without changing its orb requirements. I wouldnt call Primeval "Trash Tier" but changing his orb requirements was just a bad idea.

will patch it into the game no matter how shit the idea is.
This kind of reminds me of the Batariel nerf. There wasnt even a topic in the Balance Discussions part of the forum they simply nerfed Batariel to death. Then after alot of people complained they finally buffed Batariel again but that buff was just not enough in my opinion one man army Batariel decks are still pretty weak compared to what they were before.
The Batariel nerf was never needed because for the average player Batariel was never OP alot of casual players failed with pre nerf Batariel on harder maps either because they misplaced a spell or simply because they attacked too early and ran out of energy all it took was one mistake and Batariel died.
Also from what ive heard Decomposer was also nerfed to death without asking the BF Community and that made alot of Speedrunnders quit. I was never interested in speedrunning so i payed no attention to that but i cant find a topic about Decomposer in the Balance Discussions section so i guess its true.
Dont get me wrong im pretty happy with what the Skylords Reborn team has done so far but some of their decisions make absolutely no sense to me.

I just played Bad Harvest expert on position 3 with my root network deck and everything seems normal. Razorleaf is as strong as ever.

Another solution could be selectable difficulty levels for rPvE 9 and 10 maps like on campaign maps.
For rPvE 10 for example: Standard: Only easy bandit maps that most lvl 9 players can beat.
Advanced: Anything between easy bandits and Lost Vigils insta attack maps.
Expert: Maps where 1 player instantly gets attacked by air units Lost Vigils on LS maps Windhunters on bandit maps Skyfire Drakes on fire maps and so on.

1. Ofc it is doable with any color. But you should know it is a bit more complicated why fire is commonly asked for.
How do you beat a lost souls map where you get insta attacked by Lost Vigils at t1 without even spawning a unit with anything except fire? If players dont work togther with Eruptions its game over at least in my experience.

I dont like those new difficulty numbers you should have just added the old ones.
For me and many other players Advanced++ will always be lvl 9 and Expert+ will always be lvl 10.
