  • It's a fairly made and properly executed system that I find no fault with.

    8 4.35%
  • It has problems now, but once the initial rush dies down, it will be fine.

    15 8.15%
  • Being the champion is based more on luck of having a decent monster early on than skill.

    21 11.41%
  • There are too few match slots relative to the popularity.

    15 8.15%
  • The application system is crap and only encourages third party tool use.

    9 4.89%
  • The system needs a way to prevent monsters below a certain level from clogging the applications.

    7 3.80%
  • Too many people are only using this to powerlevel their monsters, since you're guaranteed 100 experience here and the other pits are almost always mismatched.

    25 13.59%
  • The champion system is flawed because without being the champion, it takes weeks to get high enough to even compete.

    30 16.30%
  • With no rewards besides "bragging rights" for being the long running champion, it's unfair to keep a level 50 monster in that nobody else can even touch in at this time.

    14 7.61%
  • All of the above (minus first and/or second options).

    Yes... They just need to withdrawl to receive the exp. They get like 5 exp per win if they are only defeating low level challengers all day. Thus the reason why champs leave their shit in for days, because it takes 400 wins of 5 exp each to cap their possible receivable exp. Any smart champ will frequently withdrawl their pet to receive exp, get a weak ass bonus to their feral trait bonuses, and re-enter so they are not out of date. Worrying about all the challengers consistantly getting 20 times as much exp for getting stepped on is not a problem because there's a thousand or so people all trying to do the same so no one person is going to be getting stronger at a fast enough rate to beat the champ.

    It's just fucking broken and should need the owner's active involvement to stay in the ring. Fuck this AFK shit.

    Except the cap is 50, which is being rapidly approached. The problem resolves itself.

    Sucks that you only got one skill up. ;; The champ that had won a bunch of battles today (Combat Fist) actually lost to me twice yesterday. If only I had known it was open. ><

    Edit!: Unless you're Combat Fist, rofl. But I assumed there was only one Taurus with spikes on. >.>

    Re: Pankration: Diablo Cage discussion

    We see our champs on alexander only lasting 20-50 fights now. We have at least 5 lvl 50s that kill each other and start it over. This PLing in the diablo ring may have started off broken, but it won't stay that way.

    Current champion is Necro X, who is that Taurus with Spikes that I meant I beat twice yesterday. I just really suck with names. Hopefully he hasn't levelled up too much... been playing with my cactuar because my Taur couldnt get a decent match. >.>
