The controversal topic Quests

[Daphtaru]

Even tho they are very tedious for some, the outcome for it on Nightmare Mode is totally worth it. The extra HP has saved me many times with having Gold Rank.

I actually like the Quests too, it just gets repetitive, which is really a non-issue since I focus more on the "current" Skylanders. Ie Swap Force=an emphasis on Blue Based Skylanders and not as much of a worry over previous gens. If time allows I like to go in with castaways (Ghost Roaster), non-reposed (Fright Rider), and then favorites (S2 Terrafin).

My biggest complaints is/was:

10 PvP Wins (not much fun without P2 or the 1P vs CPU counterpart)

Some were also just an issue due to limited resources like bombs, specific enemies, and the number of Lock Pick Puzzles etc. All good fun though.

I usually don't have someone for the 2nd controller so I just use 2 controllers for it. Thus my personal experience with PVP has been quite limited beyond fighting against a non moving opponent or jumping off the cliff in Ring Out's to get 10 Wins. As for most of the other stuff I think the only hard thing I have ran into is possibly Spell Punks. I tend to find easier ways to get things done. Like pretty much the majority of my Fire Element Skylanders that I have out and opened have the 30 Bombs completed.

That is what I have to do...it is the inspiration for pushing for the stand alone battle game, lol. I debated making turn-by-turn style battles and uploading them

[Daphtaru]

I can't see them making a stand alone game right now. When you see Kaos Mode you will see what I mean. Also they will not go the route of DLC for this game. The Wii U DLC code is only in the Wii boxes right now for that reason. They don't want to offer it as a stand alone. So many parents would be calling and complaining that they can't play a game that they downloaded and they will bug Activison over it and I can't see them wanting to deal with the hassle of that.

I'm hoping they have it in the works...Not having Battle Mode at all is a big loss for most AND it allows further discussion of how to make it better for everyone else (ie Single Player vs CPU and Online).

[Daphtaru]

Yeah, as much as I would want online, I can see why they are just "testing" it with the 3DS version. For me I can see 1000 Drobots that I will end up having to fight. I can't see that being fun after a while.

[1ofWiisdom]

Haha, yep. I would honestly play the snot out of 1P vs CPU...I'd mainly use online as something to do with subscribers or my Nephew when he wasn't actually with me playing.
