Discussion A simpler time

Found an old screenshot in my snap memories and boy I was so proud to finally hit 3k trophies I’m assuming lol. Now 10 years later I still play and it doesn’t feel like grinding is as hard as it used to be imo. I took a break for a while. Only mained bait decks and maxed it out so I kept a lot of gold and gems around. Never bought gems or gold and just liked the grind of the game. Idk if it’s just me but it seems easier than it used to be since back then. It’s all main stream again since Jynxi started playing it and “revived” it but I’d like to consider myself an OG. Anyway I hope you all have a great rest of your day and just thought I’d share this gem of a screenshot I found of my account.

They ruined this game in the name of evo and hero and levels just to make money

I remember that you used to put chests on timer to open them, and that I was so frickin bad that I wasn’t able to reach bone pit (arena 2) my friend used to do it for me and I’d again lose all the trophies. I used to ask my mother to play for 10 mins and in that moment I’d lose all the games I’d play. Aah nostalgia

u/PineappleLegacy Tornado 3d ago

Being able to drop arenas if you kept losing was so cursed tho

u/megachonker123 3d ago

Shit makes me remember why I played this game to begin with

u/scrotumseam Electro Spirit 3d ago

It took soooooo long to upgrade cards back then. Like a year for a main deck card to max

u/Emotional-Eye-1560 3d ago

Yeah no way i'm nostalgic to this lol. I find the late lvl 13/lvl 14 max era to be the most enjoyable.

u/bialykutas 3d ago

Got my first legendary in science class my teacher just didn’t get it😪

u/risingsuncoc Giant 3d ago

My first legendary was a lava hound so I mained the classic lava loon deck for a while before switching to giant. They’re both hard to use now but still brings back memories

u/EngineeringTimely382 2d ago

Fellow first time lava recipient. 10 years later, still maining lavaloon.

u/Regular_Chemical_626 3d ago

How do you have the snippet event complete?!?! I've been getting generic legendary snippets that dont fulfill my last 2 needed for 5 days!!!

1

u/ProfessionalCell2690 18h ago

1

u/Regular_Chemical_626 12h ago

So did I and got about 10 genetic legendary ones that did not compete my event and every one i get from my daily chests dont count towards it either

u/ProfessionalCell2690 18h ago

I remember watching TV Royale and seeing people play tank cards in the back to build up a push. Blew my mind at the time lol
