Bonus Action in PVP

Hunter Island PvP
1

I was just wondering if anybody else would agree with the suggestion that BA should not happen in PVP altogether.
It is so frustrating to lose the whole battle because of a single BA, let alone a crazy sequence of 4.
I think even reducing the amount won’t be fair anyway.

Wouldn’t it be a lot more strategic if BAs were scrapped out?
I’m tired of planning a strategy and monitoring TUs during the battle just to see everything going down the drain because of a magic BA that comes out of nowhere just to destroy you.

It also bothers me when I am the lucky recipient as I won a lot of battles which I did not deserve because of crucial BAs.

I believe PVP Master League is getting more and more balanced so at the end of the day it all goes down to luck.

At least without BAs we would be able to project our teams in a much better way.
Also I believe that disconnections would be a lot less frequent, as sometimes I get 3, 4 BAs in the beginning and the opponent just quit straight away.

Anyway, just a thought and maybe if people agree the devs could look into it.

I agree… But what to do with the ranks? If that’s the case, s rank counts for nothing thus the game lost would lose lots of playing values…

They could still work for single player.
90% of the teams in master league are all S rank anyway, so it’s not like an advantage anymore.

I agree that bonus actions and the stego/charc teams (excluding Jooky Jooky) are the most serious problems with pvp at the masters level. Some luck adds something to the battle, but now it adds way too much. A 10% chance of a bonus action, limited to a single BA should be more than sufficient. This percentage should decrease with the level of the ark depending on the rank. Currently, I do not use non S ranked arks in pvp because of the significant luck advantage. This should not be the case since many players using farmed arks do not have sufficient S ranked arks. I would urge the devs to release an update with a fix to the most serious problems (bonus actions and stego/charc). Other problems like the random disconnects and egg timers are an annoyance but do not affect the enjoyment of pvp as much as the top two problems (in my opinion). Waiting for an update to fix all problems just antagonizes players. Fix a few problems and release a darn update. At least it will show everyone that the game has not been abandoned.

I would agree to no BA at all or max 10% chance.
Luck does have its value and make game more unpredictable in a good way.

@bvs sorry for 3 BAs in the lat game we played :frowning:

I don’t understand why they are so bad? Have you never had it go in your favor?! If you have gotten an all S team you should have an advantage over someone who doesn’t have an all S team don’t you think?

Getting rid of BA would be like a slap in the face of every single player who farmed for high rank arks… Hours and hours and days upon days of searching for a high rank hatchling as opposed to an E rank would mean nothing. Changing that now would mean so many people wasting so many hours !

Believe me man, I had my share of BAs, but way too many in my opinion.

I just don’t like winning/losing exclusively because of random actions.

It’s not like “Hey, I’m getting 30 BAs and I like it”. I really feel bad for the other player when I start having multiple ones.

I would ask you the same question then, why would we have our arks leveled up to 99 if in PVP they are all 75? Even if your ark is level 1.

That is intended to level the field, so why not take out the max level cap and you can use whatever level your arks are in PVP.

So you can spend 300 hours leveling a few arks to 120 or so to have an advantage over other players.

In case you never noticed, in my experience, almost all the players I face daily in PVP are always the same ones with very few exceptions.

That tells me how frustrating it must be for new players to compete in the same level, causing them to get stuck in lower leagues and eventually quitting the game.

We already have a large advantage over other players for having arks that most people cannot get (like old OM arks and egg exclusive).

I think that’s more than enough for me, I don’t need BAs to save my butt everytime I can’t beat someone fair and square.

I am not a sore loser, I can hapily lose against someone with a better team and strategy, that’s part of the game.

As for the rank, t’s the same with levels, you can still use your arks ranked S for single player, as well as your arks with level 99.

I think one is fine. 4 is obviously not fine - that makes PvP ridiculously luck-based. But with 1, I do think strategy makes all the difference. Now… 20% chance. Maybe that’s pushing it. I agree with bringing it down to 10% or even 15% in PvP.

Getting rid of all BA would def not make it any easier for the have-nots. It at least ensures that most will have a fighting chance against top level teams.
