Tag Arena changed too? For the worse.
Tag Team arena was a haven for my stress levels for months. It always had some I couldn't hope to beat and some I could definitely beat. This was every day for months and months. I never went up to the next level, stuck at first. I assumed because it's hard to fill out three good rounds, and because people probably go mad at the last minute before ranking and you get bumped, but I didn't mind at all.
Why would I? I could do some clan missions, get my dailies. Was able to feel like I was PLAYING the game, not drowning. I would win some, lose some, try every team on the page before refreshing. You know, play my video game. PLAY IT.
Last week that all changed. I went into Tag Team arena and suddenly every team is unbeatable. Way out of my price range. Not a prayer of winning. Hundreds of points of power over me (as much as those numbers mean anything at all.) I can't spend 15 gems at a time to refresh just so I can do five tag team matches for advanced quests.
Another part of the game unreachable.
Why is this? I have been stuck at silver 3 (and very rarely four) for months and months in classic arena. It's impossible. I have been there SO long that I thought I forgot it was silver, thought I was in bronze. I've seen some threads here and realize that's not a unique problem. It's impossible to advance any higher for me. If I don't spend 50 or more gems a day I can't even stay in the *current* level, can't imagine how I could advance.
But tag arena still had some semblance of entertainment to it. The sense that I was playing a playable game.
With that gone too I just don't know anymore. I just seems like the game keeps getting harder to play. I can't beat dungeon levels that I was beating. I can't hit times I was hitting. I can't win in arena. Now I can't win in tag arena. I can't stay at the level I'm at in the game, much less go farther.
I don't know what's the source of all the problems in the arena, but I know it's making the game not fun. If that's something anyone cares about, then I hope it's something that someone will try to fix. Or give some kind of understandable explanation for.
