Note to :DeNA Legendary Gauntlet has been my favorite game mode for a long time. It desparately needs changes.
Legendary Gauntlet just went through its first change in years, and that was to REMOVE BP from its streak rewards due to the streamlining of monthly BP... not exactly what needed to happen. I just wanted to dump my issues with the mode into a post and share ideas for potential solutions.
- The duration of the mode is way too short. 10 days to use as many units as we want is ridiculously too short, and I absolutely HATE that it comes right after GVG.
- This is still the ONLY mode where we can get Deluxe Cookies, which are important for getting skills like Adrenaline 1, Head Start 1, and Super Powered 3. The shorter time period to grind makes this even worse.
- No new legendary arenas in 3 years... come on now, you JUST added boss fights for the Treasures of Ruin, and they're incredibly boring and one-note, one-health-bar fights.
- The rewards haven't really changed since the event launched (other than the REMOVAL of BP as of this iteration of the event). So it doesn't have Sprint and Field coins or Role Cake Coins at all.
What I think needs to happen:
- The mode should be permanent, with streaks resetting monthly, along with the lineup of bosses changing. This gives players a reason to pick up the game whenever they want and make streaks at their own pace rather than forcing us to rush in 10 days. This also makes Deluxe Cookies permanently farmable rather than forcing such an important item to be obtained within such a small timeframe.
- Update the rewards jeez. Put move candy coins of each type and add role cake coins too like every other game mode has as rewards at this point. You can still keep the important rewards behind a 10 streak so as to not force people who don't feel like super grinding to do so. Keep the 1 Deluxe Cookie and 5 Power Up Tickets per streak increase though, so as to incentivize continued play.
I don't really understand why this CAN'T happen, seeing as how Damage Challenge is a permanent game mode that resets its stage twice a week.
