Triple Triad Tournament

[Vickii]

I ignored this for a long time but just started doing them and they’re really fun. Love the lobby but finding it’s quite easy for people to game the system. For instance 20/20 wins really isn’t all that realistic when most everyone plays the same deck and you’re supposed to be playing random other people. And there’s a lot of alts with similar names and the exact same score on there.

But still find it a lot of fun, and seems easy enough to make the top 10 and get the tournament cards that way. Anyone else doing these?

I've just been doing the new open tournaments for the challenge log. Eventually all of your opponents are NPC which makes it easy to win.

Oh yeah I’ve done those as well. I think the open tournaments are very fun.

I’d actually like to see them add the draft rule to some of the proper triple triad tournaments. As it stands almost everyone uses the same cards so that would really liven it up.

Open tournaments are very short and sweet, surprised more people don’t seem to do them.

20/20 is actually realistic. Those are just people who play against NPC. They get enough points to guarantee 3 platinum packs and that it.

I'd rather play against other people, even ties get me almost as much as a win against the NPC's. Thing is I can sit in there for hours at a time without anybody else who wants to play against people showing up. They go over to the NPC's win 20 times, and then go.

Ahhh, I’m talking top of the leaderboard 2000 plus points 20/20 or 19/20. That was done vs other players, presumably friends.

The 20/20s at the bottom of the leaderboard are totally understandavle.

Time of day makes the biggest difference. If you go in right at the start you get done in a couple of hours. But pick a random day and you literally wait forever.
