As a follow-up to the previous post about Combo Mastery, we want to share more information and give a bit more insight to the intended design of Combo Mastery. First, we are aware that a few early screenshots of Combo Mastery were shared with the community. **Please keep in mind that the screenshots contained incomplete, out-of-date information and should not be considered as the final version of Combo Mastery.** Combo Mastery is still being worked on and the full, correct details will be shared officially on the forums and help center when it goes live. We aim to have this live in-game soon, but do not have an exact date to share with you yet. Secondly, to address some of the more recent concerns/feedback, below are a few responses. As always, if you have more questions or thoughts to share, post in this thread and we will take it into consideration as we fine-tune this feature. > How long will it take to master a combo? We are still fine-tuning this aspect of the system and aren’t ready to share those details. However, we want players to understand that mastery is intended to be end-game content which will take time to complete. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day! > How many levels of mastery will there be? These details will be made available when the feature is live in game. There will be a starting limit to Combo Mastery, but it will be a while before players reach that limit. > Is this going to make the cards I bought obsolete? Certainly not! We understand some of the concerns players have brought up since announcing this feature, but want to reiterate that Combo Mastery has the potential to make your existing cards and decks stronger. The goal is for Combo Mastery to give veteran players something new to strive for and to provide ways for them to strengthen existing decks, add more diversity to the field, and explore new ways to build a deck with old or new cards. > What about my power cards? This was answered previously, but we want to reiterate that Power Cards retain their advantage by being pre-made; thus, saving you the extra turn it would take to make the combo. Despite this, we will be watching Power Cards closely and make modifications if needed. > I don’t spend much or at all on this game, is this update for me? Absolutely! Combo Mastery will benefit different types of players in different ways. Mastery Stones and Tokens will be made available to all players through several areas of the game as rewards/loot. > Will I be able to buy everything I need to get maximum mastery immediately? It is too soon to share more details, but the simplest answer is that it is not likely. Although Combo Mastery Stones or Tokens will be available in the Shop, immediately reaching the maximum through purchases will be a bit unrealistic. Stones will be available as rewards, so all players level 12+ will have the opportunity to use and enjoy Combo Mastery. > How will I get and use Mastery Stones or Tokens? Our plan is to make Combo Mastery Stones a currency that can be obtained through various areas of the game in addition to the Shop. The Stones will be used to pull from a pool of BGE-relevant Combo Mastery Tokens, similar to the Golden Turd Pack. The Combo Mastery Tokens will be used to perform the actual upgrade. > What if I get tokens for a combo or cards I don’t even have? Once you complete a mastery level for a combo, you automatically get completed research for all recipes of that combo. Additionally, our goal is make it so that players usually get Combo Tokens that are relevant to them. metadata 1 metadata So the mastery tokens can't be used for just any combo? If it's for a specific combo won't our toolboxes become clogged with tokens from random different combos? Are they going to expire like those horrible leg PC shards? metadata > *Originally posted by **[CrackJohnson](/forums/727066/topics/1600071?page=1#12570469)**:* > So the mastery tokens can't be used for just any combo?

Yeah, everyone but whales will get +10% bonuses for random combos. Not sure if this is good or not I first thought you could choose what combo you like to spend some, im not gonna put gems on random again.. metadata > *Originally posted by **[CrackJohnson](/forums/727066/topics/1600071?page=1#12570469)**:* > So the mastery tokens can't be used for just any combo? If it's for a specific combo won't our toolboxes become clogged with tokens from random different combos? Are they going to expire like those horrible leg PC shards? I think that once you've got the tokens you will be able to spend them immediately to get the combo mastery. The currency for buying the tokens will be mastery stones. I guess you could save up tokens, but there doesn't seem to be any point to that, as you'd just be disadvantaging yourself. Even if you can't make the combo in question, you'll still want to master it, as mastery automatically comes with all the recipies for that combo. metadata We all know gts are garbage. This sounds like another reiteration of that. More garbage randomness that will rarely give you what you want. Instead of adding fun features you give players more bs gts to chase. No thank you. metadata > _Originally posted by **[msrgoble](/forums/726779/topics/1600071?page=1#12570808):**_ > We all know gts are garbage. This sounds like another reiteration of that.

I have :to agree. metadata Thanks for the feedback, I have heard a few players mention their dislike for the Golden Turd type pool to choose from and will pass that on to the devs. metadata The Drunk golden turd pool is too big and eventually over time all the rest will follow so that’s definitely something ye need to consider.

Not sure if you noticed but it looks like your keyboard has a problem with a sticky full stop key. metadata Has there been an ETA given for this yet? metadata > _Originally posted by **[ModchiKopi](/forums/726779/topics/1600071?page=1#12571190):**_ > Thanks for the feedback, I have heard a few players mention their dislike for the Golden Turd type pool to choose from and will pass that on to the devs. Hate the GT style. Makes it near impossible to actually get what you want/need. metadata I love this game metadata If we are supposed to be mastering our favorite combos, how are we going to do that with random tokens?? I mean, come on, I'm not wasting my damn time mastering Man of The House just because that's all I can get from the RNG gods. There are so many combos in this game there should NOT be individually specific tokens to straightjacket your mastery options. I could understand if they were perhaps tied to a specific trait or a show, but to make another kind of thing to collect in this game which will rival the always increasing number of cards is sheer insanity, and a recipe for inciting mass ragequitting. Seriously. metadata Yeah I don’t like that ovens are going to be tied to a specific combo either. Originally I was think it would be tied to a skill and boost a specific skill such as punch or craze. Or it could be a boost to boost just healt. Kind of like the Spellstone runes work. If you wan to go this route though it would make more sense if the tokens say buffed any music trait combo. Or any family guy combo. That way you would still have the choice on deciding how to best use it. But some randomness in which ones you actually find. However not so specific that you can only use them for a combo you may not be able to make. metadata When are the music cards gonna. E leaked metadata If I get some combos mastery tokens for some leela or peggy combos(I don't have those mythic and don't use the epic version), what am I supposed to do with them? I hope there will be a trade option available. metadata > *Originally posted by **[ModchiKopi](/forums/727066/topics/1600071?page=1#12569712)**:* > Additionally, our goal is make it so that players usually get Combo Tokens that are relevant to them. I truly hope this is the case. Comparing the mastery stones to golden turds makes it sound as though it isn't, but I'll remain hopeful. metadata I doubt the developers will change their plans, but I'm still going to give feedback. I am not sure which part of this update I don't like more. The fact that what mastery tokens we get are based on RNG or the fact that the the pool for the tokens will be based on the BGE. I'm a long time player and a moderate spender. I think I get more for my money by spending my money on BGEs for certain traits and not speding a dime on others. I already dread it when a BGE for a trait that I haven't spent any money on comes around because of how much more power BGE based decks have in comparison to my non-BGE based deck. Combo mastery tokens only being available for combos that are affected by the BGE will drastically increase the power difference between a BGE deck and a non-BGE deck. After so many BGEs that might not be as big of a problem as it will be in the beginning, but it's concerning. Especially since BGEs last for 6 weeks and we already have 9 traits that are part of the BGE cycle. It's going to take quite a while for every trait to get balanced combo mastery wise. What about the combos for traits that haven't had a BGE yet or traitless combos like Agent Bender? **EVERY COMBO WHETHER IT HAS A TRAIT OR NOT** Should be able to get mastered. After saying all of that I guess I'm more disappointed by them basing the pool on the BGE. The only complaints I have about not allowing us to choose what mastery tokens we will get is that it's one more thing for RNG to decide for us and one less thing for us to apply strategy to. metadata > *Originally posted by **[AWaagemans](/forums/727066/topics/1600071?page=1#12571951)**:* > If I get some combos mastery tokens for some leela or peggy combos(I don't have those mythic and don't use the epic version), what am I supposed to do with them? I hope there will be a trade option available. I assume Kongs still laughing now.. metadata Hi mods. I think this new thing sucks. I won't be spending any more money on this game. I like the game but I'm not desperate to beat whales. I'm an average spender... about $100 a month but I suppose that won't matter much. metadata Hi Modchi, I have simple question. How much stronger will be combo with max Combo Mastery level? metadata Here ya go-- instead of this crap, bring back the old island farming system and put legendaries on all the adventure islands. Boom! Rotate them along with golden turds. Easy. « Prev
