Freaking awful. Basically:
-ANOTHER, ANOTHER Arena type mode, because we don't have enough of those. Thank god we have another thing to compete against each other over, because we needed more SUPER FUN COMPETITIVE MODES on top of weekly Arena, Arena Assault, Voting Gauntlets, Grand Conquests, and Aether Raids! More games to play against people who +10 all of their units by throwing money at their phone.
-Character demotion! Aren't you excited to have characters who were already 4* demotes, and have them be 3* demotes? Isn't it awesome! Isn't it just what you've always wanted? What? You want characters from Season 1 of the game to finally demote? Well good news!
-We're removing Season 1 characters from the summoning pull of all the summoning banners that matter! Now, you won't be able to get any of those characters you've been struggling to get for over two years, as they will be removed from New Hero and Seasonal Hero banners! Give you easier ways to get them? Demote them? WHY WOULD WE DO THAT?!?
If Ranulf hadn't ranked so high on the CYL's event, I would have quit this game back in January, but there's still hope that baby boy will get attention beyond card games. I will say:
-I don't mind the Pair Up system in single player modes. I think that will make those modes more enjoyable and exciting, as it means we'll be able to set up more creative teams and battles. Honestly, it will convince me to participate in those Multi-Map battles I've neglected for the past 6 months. It'd be cool to collect HM for those units too, but I won't hope too hard.
-Fire Emblem Crossing is cute. I'm fine with that.
But at this point, I need to make this game into a 'non-Arena' game for myself that I play whenever I want. Because the constant stress of "Oh, you need to +10 these units! You need to make sure you have good units for this week's arena!" is just something I'm done with.
