Why do we think Pairs in the KOTR Final are disappearing? Has that been said somewhere official? Makes no sense, because then why would you even bother entering KOTRs realistically?

They are pairing the KOTR changes with a new exhibition drop system that features guaranteed pulls from high tiers if you go to long without getting one randomly.

The update is out on iOS, but so far it's only the new ring animations. Apparently the rest of it hasn't been turned on server side yet.

I'm most looking forward to the raised to 10 energy card limit and 110 regular limit. Also being able to fill up my SR/UR/Epic card album more quickly is great.

The change to make exhibition more worthwhile is a good one. KOTR is boring and tedious, I like the game so I can sit and class and barely look at the screen and grind exhibitions.

The Supercard update is now live. KOTR no longer offers a guaranteed pair, even for winners.

Edit:



The new cards look cool. I wish I got a support as a freebie, though.

Has there been a single person that requested new ring animations? I can't be the only one to constantly tap the screen to make all of that stuff go faster. And why do I still need to play the third fall when someone gets 2-0?

The new ladder rewards are hilarious. It takes 60,000 games played to be able to make a Pro Survivor John Cena card.

KOTR rewards are poo poo now. You get 2 legendary cards (not pair) only if you win. A legendary & epic support if you come in second and a legendary if you get into the semi finals. Quarter finals only get an epic and if you don't place, an ultra rare. That's horrible if you're trying to build a legendary team. Who the gently caress needs an ultra rare card at the point you're able to compete in legendary KOTR?

Hell yes I got a support Survivor card. It's 'only' a Paul Heyman manager (+29 Pow/Cha to deck), but I'll take it as a regular survivor card isn't gonna matter much while my legend pros are still relevant.

Reading through, it also looks like there's Heenan and Paul Bearer too. Kinda cool.

[Edit] looks like the Survivor tier has about 20 more cards than Legendary tier and, though I didn't go count them all, there's a fair few more Divas in there now too. There's some making their Supercard debut too. Also, a couple older legends getting in too (if I get one in particular he'll be my Supercard champ forever and ever).

They've nerfed ongoing KOTRs, too. That's annoying, I was hoping for one more easy epic. Failing to qualify for Legendary KOTR gets you two random, useless, ultra rares.

Yeah, I woke up this morning and instead of getting a Legendary + an Epic boost I just got a Legendary

I'm hoping a lot of people will be moving up to Suvivor KOTR, clearing the way for me to sandbag Legendary :smug:

I wonder how many people are attempting to sandbag Survivor KoTR while everyone they're competing against have to have pretty much the same power cards to get into KoTR. If I'm not mistaken it took me 5 legendary pros to break into Survivor KoTR, so I just dumped all my other legendary pros on my bench so I could switch people out instead of using energy.

It's not like Legendary where you can sandbag and compete against people who are running epic pros. At least not currently. But it wouldn't surprise me if people were still attempting to sandbag because that's how they've done it for so long. Once people get a bunch of Survivor pros sandbagging will make a comeback, but right now everyone's on a level playing field so you might as well run the max team you can and save yourself having to farm energy non-stop.

On the good news front, my freebie survivor card was Brie Bella! So now I can stop using my legendary Nikki (not pro) and use someone who can win a match on occasion. On the downside, my prize for coming in 2nd in legendary KoTR this morning was a single Ryback (and some epic power-up card I didn't need). So I just fed him to Brie.

Yeah unfortunately I don't think I have enough Legendary pros to really be effective at Survivor KOTR. If I had enough for a full roster I'd try for sure, but I just know my Epic Pros will hold me back.

My freebie Survivor Card was Eva. I already have a LegendPro Nikki so I don't really need it, but at least it's a snazzy new avatar for me.

I played it on the ps4, but I'd say $13 is a good price. They've improved and added a lot of stuff since release. I personally enjoyed the striking and grappling/submission system. The only thing that was kinda meh was how quickly you could max out your stats and become a flash KO master. I won't lie though, repeatedly murdering Frank Mir with knees to the face from a muay Thai clinch was always fun.

It ain't Coca-Cola, it's rice.
I realize that some people would be jealous, but I'm suddenly inundated with divas. The last 3 KOTRs I've won, my prizes were 2x Legendary Nikka Bella, then 2x Legendary Brie Bella, then 2x Legendary Stephanie, then they ended the 2x Legendary prizes. Fine, whatever. Then, for my token survivor I got Rosa Mendes. I mean jeez, it's really unhelpful at this point.

I had a similar thing when I got to Legendary...got Natalya as my guarantee, then won another Natalya, a Cameron, Steph, Nikki and two Bries as assorted KOTR rewards. All this after not having drawn a single Diva since Rare.

Freebie being "the one you're guaranteed to get for joining the tier". Others are being drawn from Exhibition wins. If that's the case it bodes well for me in Legendary now.

Also whoever keeps pulling Divas like CM Punk needs to send that mojo this way, I'm still on the pro ladder Paige.
