Progress in this game is very slow… Now that they’ve taken away the last 15 cp of both pvp and pve for all but the most intense grinders, I’m happy with every tiny drip and drop I can get… Besides how else can I eventually get more IW covers?
Difficult boss with good rewards: whine because some people won’t get the rewards.
Difficult boss with missable rewards: whine because it’s not raining candy and tokens
Maybe they should release interesting difficult matches with no rewards. I like having some neat new challenges. I’m surely not the only one. Quit acting wounded and go play progress quest if you don’t want to play the game.
Considering that the fight is a 1-off per day, they definitely could have improved the reward for winning. Difficulty completely aside, they actually made a piece of the game that was fun and not grindy at all. Why not tie a good reward to it?
Look on the bright side, the reward isn’t huge but at least the boss fight is a far smaller part of your points total so if it is too annoying you could even skip it entirely without it hurting your score too badly.
It’s interesting, it’s like they designed a boss to be an extra bonus for those who could do it, but no one will be penalized if they have to just skip it. I like the puzzle aspect of it and sure, more rewards is always great, but I kinda of like the idea behind this. Something different at a low cost to players if you can’t complete it. It feels like an experiment or a playtest, the kind they should be doing. It’s not like the token is hidden behind that fight. A 2* players can compete here (theoretically) without getting a 4-5* reward that might unbalance their roster. It’s not “You’re supposed to lose” but rather “Aint no thing if you skip”.
I’ll be curious if anything extra happens if you’re able to complete each artifact fight on the 3rd day. (and reserve the right to change this opinion depending on what happens
)
ADDED: One more thing that I actually love about this boss fight: No waiting 8 hours or having to fight a minion node before you can fight again if you lose. Once he’s unlocked, fight him until you can beat them, then you’re done for that sub.
