URGENT remedy for agent spam needed

AnduinTryggva · December 6

I would like to beg ZOS to check how ToT strats evolved. About 90% of players adopted a strategy of agent spam right now and the only existing counter strat is to spam agents as well.

Celarus is far too expensive.

And the other strat would be to pick Rhajin in the hope to pick the expensive agent kill cards which too much depends on luck.

This kills the game if nothing is done about it.

When someone picks Rhajin and starts spamming Bewilder cards I just let the clock run out every time they give me one and that usually stops them.

If you are afraid of agent spam, take Alessia, get one or two Saint’s Wrath and clear the board, problem solved.

Mh, which would render the use of Alessia mandatory. That is a bit sad for the game to be enforced to pick a certain patron to counter a possible opponent strategy..

Welll, that's the norm concerning asymmetrical games. Each Deck has strengths and weaknesses, some more than others. Some are easier to play than others. They are not the same, so each deck needs a special strategy and a special counter strategy.

And its not even pure asymmetry, because both players share the same four decks.

The game rewards and praises unsocial players as champions, and punishes those who avoid such behavior with a time penalty

This is griefing and a bannable offense.

What is agent spam? A strategy where players pick agents and just use them as intended? Many ways to counter that: a power deck, Rahjin, Alessia… or buy the agents instead? Usually it‘s only tanks that are a problem and those can be countered by Celarus.

How? There is no rule against letting the clock run out, and it's a strategy to stop being trolled with Bewilder cards.

Because you‘re deliberately delaying the game. And what kind of strategy is that? It‘s just to upset your opponent by wasting time and not a strategy.

I find spamming your opponent with Bewilder cards every turn to be griefing. And it is a strategy because it stops them after one or two times.

It‘s not griefing, it‘s how the deck works if you choose to play it that way.

What you do is only a strategy if there‘s a correlation between wasting the entire timer / deliberately letting it run out and patron spam. And there simply isn’t.

Yes, there is. If I run out the clock ONLY after receiving a Bewilder card, and the other player then stops spamming me with Bewilder cards then it's a successful strategy.

I don't play against real people because ToT is inbuilt with ways to grief your opponent but I'm sorry if someone retaliated to my strategy by letting the clock run down every turn, I'd just grab a book or play a time wasting mobile game until my next turn!! 🤣
