To your second point you don’t still get the rewards. They don’t slide with the difficulty. They stay at level 17 etc. you are just no longer able to get there.
Actually a related question because I know there are players out there with a much higher top 5 than me that still start at 400. Is it possible for the number to go back down? Still looking for any kind of insight into this.
Precisely. Which alienates the veteran and more likely paying player base who has no way of knowing what they’re doing “wrong” or how to fix it so they can get the shards. I’m all for rolling it back to where everyone starts at the same point. Newer players shouldn’t be able to make it as far as people who have played…
Well that’s what apparently started this sliding scale. Newbies and low level people were complaining that people were getting farther than them and it was unfair. Despite the fact they had been around longer and spent more money on the game. Thus the sliding scale was introduced. The issue is that I raised here is no one…
To continue this discussion. I’m currently able to beat level 13-14 if I get lucky with the positioning of the overpowered opponents. So since they’ve introduced the rewards at 15 or 17 I have yet to be able to get to that level so I have been blocked from this portion of the game.
Agreed. If you’re going to make it more difficult as we increase in power I want to know how that works because my roster isn’t improving as fast as my difficulty is increasing. So I’ve dropped from getting into the mid 20s to barely 17 to barely 15 to 13 and now I’m lucky to get to 12. Everytime I try to level up…
I've discovered that leveling up "resets" PvP so you can do it again. Unfortunately, doing most anything outside of PvP seems to break it again and you have to wait until you level up again to fix it. I passed this information along through the support channels, so we'll see. Sucks more people are affected by this, though…
