Expanded Challenge

[luckyapple142]

Just finished the second part of the expanded challenge (do 3,000 damage).  OMG expanded is the worst.  I never play it and I will never go back.  Part 3 is collect 42 prize cards.  Yea I don't think so.  You can keep your 2 FF packs.

[PokeeZepp]

I feet the same way.  42 Prize Cards is a tall order for such a poor prize.  If only a Concede counted for 6 prize cards, but there's no guarantee you will even get ONE card per game even if you win.

That's how I felt when I got to the 3rd part yesterday. Went back to standard even though the Xerneas Break deck I was using was getting wins it still took me 2 days to get 16 ko's for my challenge.

I just completed all 3 challenges in expanded format. fun-yet challenging with so many nightmarch, toad decks running around. It took me about a day to complete it

 

It can be hard but FAAAAR from impossible.  ^______________^ (Mind over matter YOUNG GRASSHOPPERS)

[unscsnip3r]

stage 1 and 2 was easy using my noiven (FF) deck.... 30 dmg spam, easy snipe wins

No one said impossible.  We said not worth the prize.

Exactly.

Hey, it's free.  You're not really in a position to complain.  As for expanded itself, it's my favorite format.  And that includes unlimited.

And I never said you couldn't complain about it.  People have the capacity to complain about anything.  People can complain that the whole world doesn't speak Cantonese.  But as for whether you're in a postion to complain...  That's something else entirely.

He basically means why complain about getting free stuff when you could be paying for it instead?

[LegendofZapdos5]

Exactly.

 

The way you 2 were complaining about the Challenges and the FREE PACKS-you SURE had me fooled.

 

A day without complain-What a DAY THAT WOULD BE. ^_______^

[luckyapple142]

The complaint police sure do like to complain.  

[shinygeodude]

The internet wouldn't be the internet without people complaining about stuff. That's one of its main purposes.

I find it interesting that people immediately construe feedback as a complaint.The feedback was that the prize was not enough for the challenge presented.  The Pokemon team obviously wants to create content that engages players.  We want the same thing, so feedback is actually helpful in this case.

You are not correct.  With no players, there is no game.  Even if the initial game download is free, the player base is always in a position communicate with the development team to improve the experience for all involved.  It's why they made the forums in the first place.

Constructive feedback, now I'm all for that.  But it must be phrased in a certain way to qualify; you see, anything can be made to sound like anything else.  With enough phrasing and enough space, one could talk about Saturn and have the world think they were ranting about ants.  The O.P. was written in such a way that, whether or not it was the intent, they came across as a spoiled little kid.  For all I know, they're the least frivolous guru in the world, but all I have is what they said, and what they said sounds spoiled.  I actually agree that 42 prize cards is too much, but could not bring myself to agree with such a rude post.  Try instead: "So there's been a three-part special challenge going on.  The first two are great, it's always nice to get free packs.  But I think that the reward for the third one is just too low to justify grinding for 42 prizes.  In future, I would appreciate it if you could reduce the requirement or increase the reward.  Thank you."  That sounds much less angry and much more reasonable.

[PokeeZepp]

SuperStone, I can't argue with that.  You are right on target, with the slight exception about not allowing ants on Saturn.  #InterplanetaryAntRights

Ant Man Approves Of This Thumbs Up

[barkley2009]

These challenges are easy and take a hour or 2 at most. I've only started playing 10 days ago and I figured out the key for high damage is Gyrados, Gallade, and or Fates Collide Delphox(there are obviously more options if you are not poor in inventory like me).

[Fields_Heron]

Expanded format is my favorite place to play. I got good cards from the six packs I won, Manectric-EX for example.

[luckyapple142]

People have some serious reading comprehension issues.  The whole point of the OP had nothing to do with the reward.  The point of the OP was that expanded is unplayable.

[iGrizz]

Expanded is totally playable. It took me less than 2 hours to complete this challenge with a Palkia/M Gyarados deck in Expanded.

[SuperStone]

This is where I like to say: "You are entitled to your opinion, however incorrect it may be."

[spacyjaguar4114]

I just used a Team Plasma deck. You can take 6 prizes in 2 turns if you get the right draw, which if you build it right happens often.
