The 12-hour deployment is not a small issue. It needs to be 24 hours period. Expecting active players to log in once a day is pretty reasonable I think, but expecting them to log in multiple times a day or to time their life to fit in a mobile game's schedule is a bit wild...
Agreed! 3 days to build your teams, but 12 hours, overnight for many people, is ridiculous for an afk game. The actual resolution of the battles doesn't require any real time. If they want the stages completed each day, they can give people 23h 45m if they wanted to. At least make it 20h. That would make it a lot less inconvenient for a lot of people.
The core issue is deployment being 12 hours when it should really be 22 hours. I guess the issue would be not being able to see the dispaly period. Maybe just have the display board in a seperate display. Alternative just let th guild leaders and vice leader deploy any undeployed units. or just have undeployed units get auto deployed based on the zone number recomendations given by vice leaders
No, it’s not. They should change the name from AFK Journey to AFK PVP. If they add one more PVP event to this game my money and I are leaving for something else.
@@RuruSheeesh they are game developers, and could easily come up with other things to do besides PVP. How many PVP events do we need in an adventure game?
they already have a game called AFK Arena, why has AFK Journey become so PVP focused? I was drawn to the game because it wasn't just PVP but here we are with like 6 different PVP modes now. Also this is the worst one so far, it really is half baked and not well done.
Vanguard battles have to have a bigger impact. Our 1st day we lost vanguards but won FFA and the score wasnt even close. I think many guilds have 3-5 whales while the rest are mid spenders to f2p. So FFA is the big thing here, and half our teams arent even fighting. 2 or 3 guys win the whole tile most of the time. Definitely need better balancing in the mode, but its a unique mode.
Clashfronts feels pretty half-baked imo. Small deployment windows, only 1 map, fatigue really not mattering that much. I'll take the rewards sure, but you could just check Guild Supremacy and have a good idea what guild is going to win.
1. You had 2 Contender guild(AI), usually about 1/4 power opponents to contend with. My guild had 2 top ranked guilds flanking it, while they got a contender 4th slot ai. Needless to say, it did not go well because they got to shove all their strongest to one side. 2. Many of my guild got the there's nobody in your formation bug which zeroed out an entire group, suspiciouusly the strongest group. This release is a Bohica level mess. If they don't compensate for this in terms of rewards, you're probably looking at a Salsa banner level loss of players. You know, that time they nerfed rewards into the ground?
Love the comparison to Ace Championship, I think that mode is still way better than this. Cause it doesn't have a grid you have to deploy and all that stuff. I also think that Clashfronts can become one of the better game modes if they do it correctly. The biggest issue I have except for some of the rewards and the clearly small window to deploy your teams is how they have done this mode. Missing good explanations and some explanations doesn't even exist, it is BETA and I think it's just a bad design to have it published like this. Don't publish stuff that is gonna make people frustrated and confuse them in the height of the season.. Use the test servers or bring out another Pioneerish thing where people can test it. Like we already have plenty of stuff to do in the season right now so publishing a rushed mode and call it BETA is just a bad move if you ask me.
While I agree with you that the fatigue system makes it so that one whale doesn't just 1v30 another guild, the streaks are still too high IMO. I would like fatigue to be powerful enough to get a 10 streak at the highest. And yeah, one recommendation is to have view results + deploy next round at the same time.
They really need to set the deployment time to 24hrs. I already missed one because I was at work. And I'm a Vanguard. 12hrs is just way to short of a deployment time.
Edit: They just made a ton of fixes for the mode, so there is hope yet. Glad with the quick turnaround they had. Really cant agree here, the deployment issue is awful. The individual contributions are largely dice rolls for most people. Fatigue is not strong enough, there are single players defeating over 90 teams in one round in my game. There's an event that ends in 2ish days where im likely losing season tokens just because i rolled into enemy whales. There are more problems but this comment is already long enough but last thing I'll add is the game mode just doesnt spark much of anything in me, except more duty of telling my guild members where to deploy, even if all the problems were fixed. Feels like a dud to me.
Really hope they change the deployment schedule somehow… I haven’t been able to participate the first two days already bc my schedule didn’t match up.. Someone in comments said let the leaders/vanguards deploy for people who can’t make it to attack and that would be nice.
If I could give this video more thumbs down, I would. Everything about this mode is awful. Unfair matchmaking, whales getting 15+ win streaks, small deployment window, the list goes on. You’re entitled to your opinion, but do not promote this mode as anything more than it is: crap.
Yeah but I think it is better than that. What I really hate about Ace Championship is that you can't rewatch the fights and this even brings another layer of strategy to it

To me, this game mode sucks ass purely because it's a PvP mode. PvP in gacha games is just bottom of the barrel slop for people who spend a lot of money in order to feel good through curbstomping other players. The deciding factor is almost always just going to be which players/guilds spent the most money. They're winning 99.999% of the time. It also doesn't help that on most servers, guilds are either full of high ranking whales or half full of casual/low-spending or f2p players with varying levels of activity that will never actually stand a chance.

yeah 23 hour deployment and 1 hour battling should suffice in my opinion.

Yeah I am afraid I might actually be asleep during the entire deployment period on atleast one day of the weekend 🙃
No, it’s not. They should change the name from AFK Journey to AFK PVP. If they add one more PVP event to this game my money and I are leaving for something else.
dude the journey/story is done in 3 days
PvP is supposedly the end game content in this game. What are we supposed to do for the next 3 months? story wise ended 2 weeks max.
@@RuruSheeesh they are game developers, and could easily come up with other things to do besides PVP. How many PVP events do we need in an adventure game?
@@ThrE3-GeS correct, they should add additional content that isn’t PVP.

WHOAAAAA I didn't mean to backstab LOL. I'm so sorry, I thought we were testing everything since there was only 2 guilds -Zanz
Also, y'all put people in top left too, so we can call it even i think
Haha jk. Don't worry bro ❤️
🙈
@@zanziven we still like you but if we meet again we will eat you with bare hands as i said ;)

I reckon they are gonna do a survey about this gamemode and collect feedback so you will probably be able to suggest that
Ayyy the reason why you didnt want to show more in that row. Was because I ended up beating him in the end 😂 ahah
@@WolfieSilveira There is no proof of that

Trash game mode
I have up to this day still not been able to deploy heros because the times its open is too awkward for my time zone, given i majorly play on pc
The title itself forces me to comment. It has so much room for improvement to be worth doing
Guess it was a good title then :D I agree they have many rough corners but it is a Beta and I believe they can make it great :-)
First thought I had too was ace championship
Yeah but I think it is better than that. What I really hate about Ace Championship is that you can't rewatch the fights and this even brings another layer of strategy to it
pvp mode is always bad as its when you feel more frustrated. A match fir 5 days is meh.
If would have to choose, remove last phase
no it's not, it's a whale mode. our guild got paired with full spenders way above our league 😂
It's not good. We have #2 guild on our server and half our guild didn't get to set teams and we have 0 points. It needs a lot of work.
I think the time you have to set the teams is the most problematic aspect at the moment. Other than that I feel it is already on a very good way
@@Wraec also I feel like they should allow guild staff to deploy players teams.
Eyyyyyy I ain't gotten nothing to say 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the comment though :-)
So much backstabing in mu district 😂😡
