Hopes and Concerns - Current State of Blazing

#Welcome Everyone

To my first dedicated thread explaining and expanding on the positives and negatives which I've been rejoicing and struggling with.

Without further ado, let me get started in the topic I want to discuss today which for no one's surprise is the new Game Mode: Ninja World Clash.

#Positives

1. I can't stress this enough: Having a fully working Player vs Player Game Mode in this game is something a veteran like me would only dream of since the very beginning of our journey. No Bandai Mobile Game has had the opportunity to have this implemented as far as I know.

2. Only existing isn't enough to make a Game Mode fun. Ninja World Clash is IN CONCEPT perfect in my eyes, expanding on the game with a totally new speed, separate health bars and totally different stats mechanics.

3. A new Battle Coin Currency adds yet another method to obtain Materials and Exclusive Characters in the form of Kakashi in this Sneak Preview Season.

#Negatives

Check below for Fixes as I won't just criticize without being constructive

1. At this point we are all familiar with a certain glitch that causes the matches to freeze until one of the players decides to leave the match and give up which results in a loss for the one who concedes.

2. There isn't enough variety in teams and P2P Players are given a large advantage which makes sense, but still poses as a problem for this Game Mode.

3. The rate at which we earn Battle Coins is incredibly low. Combined with the extremely high prices for Materials and Kakashi this makes Ninja World Clash an unpleasant grind instead of what should be an amazingly fun Game Mode.

#Fixes

1. The first negative is a matter of coding and it will be easily fixed by Bandai as soon as they realize it. The alternative we are given right now is just waiting it out and it works for me as a Free Win if you are patient.

2. The second negative is a really sensitive subject. My best attempt at explaining it is that P2P Players have a good reason to feel entitled to have an advantage since they have spent money on the game and help it progress financially. F2P Players however should also be taken into account and a good way to fix this would be to make some Free Characters semi-competitive as it would be an extra incentive to farm Impacts and Ninja Road.

3. The last negative is one that specially concerns me. As a player who farms every EM, Impact and NR, the amount of time you need to invest into getting all of the Kakashi using your Battle Coins is incredibly taxing and a quick fix would be too just reduce the level of Dan per Class which in turn would let you reach the final Rank with a little bit more ease and net you the extra Battle Coins rewards. That or just increase the amount of Battle Coins with every Win / Loss.

#Conclusion

I know this is what the Sneak Preview Season is for.

Bug finding, balance issues, etc... but that doesn't mean we can't discuss what we would like to have bettered and also maybe give incentive for the fixes to actually happen.

Sorry if I exaggerated in all the colors but that was my best effort to make the wall of text a bit more readable.

Please discuss and tell me your thoughts below! Have a fantastic day everyone! See you in Ninja World Clash.
