okay, after doing some replaying, little bit of ce abusing i'll say this bit in hopes it reaches
i've replayed this quite a few times, not one to grind out 99999b for the sake of it but restarting once i hit 100 stars on all stages back in 1.1?1.2? and 1-2 times each 1.x since, wasnt planning on it this time around since new mons weren't 'eggable' but cest la vie.
please; stop catering to those 'flick' heads in discord that put weeks/months into 1 save at this stage of releases. new stuff being 1-3 days of afking from unlocking unless you left it running for days after unlocking everything prior is very monotonous and unenjoyable. (yh, fixed the save)
tonight i had a few drinks and after some editing; dude, it was so fun trying to figure out how to progress through waves with sub lvl100 mons with all items unlocked, i'd have never enjoyed mega charizard like i did til now even though my main team 'prior comments proven' prefer maining skeledirge and supporting it.
im not saying everythings need to be made cheaper, but realistically, cmon.
not everything has to be made with persian ditto boss wave farming gains in mind. personally, ive not touched ditto or persian since my first run. because its lame. just saiyan.
personally, hot take; i'd give persian a reduced effect, but increase its overall output per wave, like its dmg/effects akin to slow/etc so its a supportive mon more than 'i need gp overnight' mon. and stop letting ditto copy it. it's to the point i feel like if i don't throw a persian team up over night i wont enjoy tomorrow. dont create a game you have to leave running 24/7.
24/7 is fine if you want to idk shiny hunt, achievement hunt etc, but items? mons? cmon.
diversify.
another edit bc i read it in previous comments; yeah the discord mods are total wads and the entire reason why i refuse to interact there and also left the channel.
10000x edit later;hopefully final one;
this is all coming from someone who will 100% leave the game running to progress, but no, it doesnt need to be that way. and i will still restart, or stop til next update, once i've unlocked all new content each update. not everyone is farming 99999999999999999999999999999999999999b (gholdengo supports this cater....)
okay 10000000000x edits later, and a final thought as i'ma sleep now and i thought about it; realizing this might becoming an info fed game, being if you dont get your team load outs from reddit/disc/etc youre not likely to proceed waves. while this is fine for maybe a final wave. i heavily enjoyed previous builds specifically because the fact that build diversity worked, but it really seems its leaning into 'use this or fail' tactics.
