maybe this was commonly understood already, but I just stopwatched myself and found that 3 exhibition games take slightly less time to complete than one RtG game. So if you're done going after RtG reward cards (no way I'm getting enough games for legendary Hogan), you might as well go back to Exhibition at this point. Better pick rate, less of a hit when you lose a game, and more than likely a higher-tier board you'll be picking from.

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

so what are the differences in reward between doing a main event match and 5 single matches or 2 show matches? what's the most efficient way to get coins?

It's risk/reward. Singles matches are quite easy to beat, but have the lowest rewards per victory. With a main event, the rewards are significantly higher per match if you beat all five, but lower if you don't, because you don't get the completion bonuses.

I really want to like immortals but it's so hard to get into the online mode when more than half the time I get the double team glitch, and my team isn't overpowered enough yet to survive that.

Yeah, I just got a 3rd match in a Show Match series where all his guys were 4 levels higher than mine and he got the double bug. That was... difficult.

They need to fix the double bug. So many matches I would have won if not for that. I'm still in the top 1% bracket for the current tournament, though.

Was talking with a friend of mine about Supercard (he plays way more than I do) and he revealed this hilarious nugget about the "new and improved" rtg:

:) : so i got the first bnb
:) : playing +6 matches against one or two guys solely, especially at the end, one guy
:) : now I can't beat the same guy at 0/190
:) : it's really terrible
:) : everyone's (even the guys with pcc pros) are having to grind +1s
:v: : how is that possible
:v: : are the +5s just dummy decks?
:) : yep
:) : they introduced bots
:) : who have every pcc pro, even not perfectly pro'd they still beat any survivor pro
:) : people are literally buying titles for +1 bouts to finish

Amazing

I started to hit the wall in the middle of Legendary (my deck is Survivor). Just had a 3-point match with a guy who threw eight Legendary Pros at me in the last *two rounds*, which is as many as I have in my entire deck. I forgot how many he had in earlier rounds, but it was more than zero.

I'm not sure how much longer I can play this game, and not just because it's a stupid lovely game. I should be able to luck out on my last 20-30 points I need for Legendary, but I'll get ground up in Survivor. I need Survivor cards to improve my decks, but I can't win them...because I don't have them.

Another fun little quirk from this RtG is the dearth of title match cards. I don't necessarily care--I've got a lot of poo poo that needs to be leveled--but it seems weird that I'm almost done with Legendary, and so far I've drawn a grand total of two.

gold bryan can do this at level 15ish, just more credence to his stats being a metaphor

The annoying thing about RtG is there really isn't much of a slope of difficulty, when you stop being able to 12-0 the +5 matches it's only like a dozen more wins before you stop being able to win +5's or +3's more than half the time making them worthless. So you speed through the first day or so speeding along with zero challenge and then the rest of the time is either spent limping along at +1 with gimped decks, or throwing yourself into a brick wall of decks that massively outclass yours. There's very little of it that actually takes decision-making, it's just mindless tapping or constant frustration


This time I hit the wall like 20 points into Fandango tier and will be able to +1 my way to the end of that tier pretty easily by the end of the event, but no chance at all of Barrett without spending like $6-10 on title matches and there's no way I'm going to give them money and reward them for making this mode worse. No hope of raising my deck level above Survivor until I find a pair for one of my 18 unpaired survivor pulls :sigh:

Boy, unlocking the level 2 finishers in Immortals is a game changer. Paige and Roman are both one shotting everyone they come across. It's funny to me how much stronger, statwise, Paige is over Roman level for level. It doesn't make him look strong.

Immortals pro tip, buy a discounted Gold booster immediately. Don't buy any Bronze or Silver poo poo, save for the 75,000 gold pack everyday.

I'm going to endorse this pro tip. I saved up for a gold booster and Jesus Christ, gold Undertaker with no upgrades at level 4 has 1040 attack and 1920 health. The starter bronze Sheamus with several upgrades at level 18 has 1100 attack and 871 health.

In Immortals, what does the "Legendary" indicator mean? Like I see enemy teams with wrestlers marked "Legendary I". Presumably it means they're stronger. But stronger how, and how is it obtained?

I believe when you get two of the same cards you can combine them, Supercard style. This game is basically Supercard but you actually have input on the fights instead of it just reading stats.

i can do this with the starting cards at like level 5. It's a very easy game if you purposely drop combos all the time

I actually think online poo poo gets harder as you get better cards. I've gone from easily beating every single match to not being able to get past round 3 of the Main Events. Partially because of blocks not reading half the time and the stupid double up glitch, but still.

Also it's not available to get in the store yet, but I just had this show up in a single player match:

As much as I like BNB I am really happy I gave this RTG a miss, I have still been playing casually to get 6 cards to level up some of my deck but have not nearly put enough time in to even get the epic card.

At the moment both events seem like a waste of time unless you either play the game every moment in your life for 3-4 days or you pay stupid amounts of money into it (which I am not willing to do)

Yeah, once you start getting matched against silver and golds it gets harder, and the desync issues become more punishing. It's pretty dumb that I can replace my gold Undertaker with my bronze Reigns and go back to being matched against bronze-only teams that I can break in half without trying.

Supercard chat: I'm disappointedly stuck at 59/140 for Epic Razor who, while not likely finding his way onto my exhibition/KotR decks, would be a substantial upgrade for the next RtG. Everything I see now is Legendaries/Survivors whereas my best cards are 1x Pro UR and 3 non-Pro Epics w/ a Pro SR diva. Nothing about this matchmaking is good and 2K should really be ashamed of themselves while sitting on their fat stacks of cash.

I don't even care if Immortals is buggy as gently caress. I could watch Paige deliver massive suplexes to Big Show all day.

Now: start spitballing some terrible ideas for what new wrestlers and versions of wrestlers will be. I predict a gold version of the Rock that's got a minotaur vibe and is called Brahma Bull.

I've also been getting this, and even in single player poo poo now. They need to fix it.

Also gold Super Cena's power is unbalanced as gently caress. The more his life meter drops, the more damage he does. So by the time he's got 1/3 left he's doing 10x damage. And that's not just on poo poo that connects, it's even 10x what you absorb when blocking. So god forbid he even triggers a super move when you get him to this. He knocked out my full health gold level 28 HHH in one shot, despite me blocking.
