I know this is crazy wishful thinking, but there should be some sort of feature that tells your pvp opponents “I’m about to shield, so please just let me win this last battle.”
It’s very annoying when you are one battle away from hitting your target progression, but every time you win, it turns out you are at the same amount of points before the battle, due to others atracking you.
I get it, we should just shield, but it’s also that I just spent over an hour trying to hit something, and the last 20+ minutes were trying to finish just one final battle! And now that I’ve been forced to shield, that means I need to start all over again and find another time of the day where I can devote more solid time to playing, just to hit something I had wanted to be finished with earlier.
That’s why I rarely do pvp any more, beyond a few hundred points. I hate needing to schedule my life around shielding times. And even if I make it to 1300? Probably a useless cover that will just lead to 1000 iso anyway. And then the intense frustration that all of that effort was for absolutely nothing and I shouldn’t have even bothered.
