1. Real-time PVP between team mates.

You can request cells, so why not request a fight with a team mate? There are no rewards or XP given, just the chance to enjoy battling and get used to your new monsters with your friends.

2. Make dungeons more interesting

I have posted many ideas for dungeons, for realistically what I want to see is a dungeon with different element/book restrictions FOR EACH NODE - not the same rules for the whole dungeon (20 fights!). Start with Metal/Magic/Sea, then fight 2 might be Fire/Spirit/Spirit, fight 3 would be Magic/Undead/Rare etc..

Not does this solution give players more thinking time and enjoyment, it also encourages collecting, which is something Social Point is trying to encourage.

3. Abolish Team Shop and War Coins

Somebody else made this suggestion, too, and it is about time that Team Wars victories are rewarded with gems, rather than war coins. The whole concept of the team shop is outdated now, and makes no sense. How about rewarding players and teams with gems for their performance in wars, and this in-game currency allows them to purchase monsters/items from the main shop or in sales, rather than from a very limited selection of mediocre monsters in the Team Shop.

@Clackers

1. Fix system so that hackers cannot play with monsters with hacked skills.
2. Directed Autoplay: Be able to run autoplay, but selected the monster that will be targeted by single attacks.
3. Permanent items, like weapons that can be to: a) any monster, b) any monster in element X, or c) any monster in book Y.

@Kaiju The weapon idea is something I suggested, but remember some monsters don't have weapons (like Sparking Mantis). What happens to him in that case?

I am glad you asked. My idea and your idea are similar but different. The shop currently has non-permanent items you can buy. I propose adding weapons like (note that these are just suggestions for SP):

Excaliber: functions like a strength rune of at least level 5. Can only be used by Light monsters.
Mjolnir: converts any non-Thunder attack to Thunder or acts as Damage Boost for Thunder monsters. Can be used by any monster.
Apollos: Causes bleeding.

Obviously there are some game mechanics to be taken into consideration. I think your idea is that the weapons are tied to the monsters element, like Thyra's weapon is tied to only her Thunder attacks. I think your idea was that you could take her weapon and give it to someone else. I like that idea too and I think it would work.
(sorry long post coming)
However it brings in various other questions?
Is each weapon unique?
If not then I think that when you get the monster you get the weapon, but it also means that I could buy a second one and give it to another monster.
If each weapon IS unique, is it just unique to me or to the entire ML universe? This would obviously not work with the weapons that a monster comes with, but if they wanted to really add Mjolnir into the game, they could decide that there will only be one. Now imagine that this weapon could change hands if you managed to beat the person in pvp.

I think the worst thing that ever happened to this game was the implementation of the monster lab, I remember people asked to be able to get their epics to 100, I've never seen anything regarding taking legends higher than this level, it has destroyed many teams, made a lot of players quit and I understand the financial motive behind it but 18 copies of the same monster is insane IMO, stopping at 10 copies would have been better. This has generated a lack of interest in new monsters, lack of diversity in the game and made the game a lot less interesting in terms of strategy .Now it's too late to reverse it so...

• I think we don't need the level discrepancy added damage, if you have a 130 monster fighting against 100s you don't need your damage to be multiplied, you hit way harder already . Maybe this would make new legends slightly more useable if a moderate damage attack from a 130 wasn't able to OHK them. @Carlos

• Don't align max monster level with player max level, I don't know if taking monsters to 150 is planned but I really hope it isn't, I'm already on the verge of quitting as it is.

• Don't make game breakingly OP monsters like Samael who are unbeatable no matter how hard you try, unless you have one too. The VIPs were OK, this one really jumped the shark.

• Bring back the "refresh" button in PvP

• Make the breeding chances during breeding events public so players know what they are doing.

• Double the cell exchange capacity in teams

I love this thread because it highlights the potential this game has. There's some great ideas here.

I also feel like real-time pvp would be so fun. You challenge someone and if they accept they get added to your “hit list”. When both parties are on at the same time a notification gets sent.

I still want to see bracketed tournament style wars. It doesn’t even have to be a constant thing but occasionally it would be cool if, based on MP, teams were placed in their league bracket. So once the season started you could see all the potential future matchups. Then you battle it out until there’s a winner, with rewards that increase the better you do and the higher league you’re in.

It would solve the matchmaking issue, create much more competitiveness amongst teams and it would give teams something to work towards. This would also benefit SP. The most popular feature in the game by far would become much more interesting and spending may very well increase as a result. There may be some minor issues that would need to be ironed out but besides poor implementation I can’t really see any downside.

@Kaiju My idea was sort of tied into the notion that monster weapons are what gives them their elemental attacks.

So if you were able to break Thyra's baton (like a shield-breaker style move) then she would only be able to use Legendary moves and NOT her thunder moves for the remainder of the fight.

The idea of buying weapons for a monster? That is a good idea, but it would need a lot of extra artwork/animation from SP (for example, let's give Thetys a huge hammer) and we both know that's not gonna happen lol.

@tintum I agree the Lab has backfired badly as a way to get cells. It was the moment ML became more PAY2WIN rather than Free2Play. 18 copies of a monster is pathetic, 1000s of Pounds wasted, I don't know why anyone does it tbh.

Instead of the Lab as a way of obtaining cells, I would like half a dozen Premiere Dungeons each day (of old, existing monsters), and you can choose to fight them with your own monsters. Each victory gives something like 25 cells (multiplied by the number of survivors in the fight). So each day you could can 25-75 cells of a monster(s).

@KungFuHamster I asked FOX about real time PVP and he said he doesn't know if it is technically possible. I don't understand this attitude, of course it is possible. It is turn based fighting, just have a 30 seconds timer on each move or the move is forfeited.

Leagues for Team Wars is a great idea, and each team has to play each other once (or twice). There should be PVP-style rewards at the end of each season depending on your team's performance (and remember my idea in the OP - Team Wars rewards needs to be gems NOT War Coins).

First Fox is a she. Second we both dont work at SP or in the gaming industry dont believe we either have any ideas what is possible or isnt, if she says that she believes it insnt possible at this moment we have to believe that

@Clackers as Fox is an employee of SP i am sure she is aware of the capabilities of the developers, the system specs as well as other aspects of what goes into feature upgrades. If she says she doesn't think it is possible she has more knowledge and authority to say so. We as in you can speculate and postulate all you want, but it isn't possible....period. next idea.

Did you or did you not say realistic ideas? Half a dozen every day for monster cells? How is that financially feasible for this for profit company? Yeah i can see this one happening.

@Nynaevelan It is possible in 8 Ball Pool

@Clackers said in Your top 3 (realistic) ideas to improve Monster Legends:

@Nynaevelan It is possible in 8 Ball Pool

Different company, different programmers, different hardware. Just because it is possible in one doesn't mean it is possible in another. Not to mention if it is possible is the cost worth it, will they get a return on their investment to justify it. There are lots of factors that go into business decisions and while we know none of them as Fox said, it is probably not possible.

Realistic idea = more hatching spaces and breeding places. a contest comes in the middle of a 36 hour or more breed which then also ties up the hatching births. and the contest only lasts 72 hours so if you just put in a long one and the contest comes where you have to breed 7 epics in a row, you're screwed.

also don't require breeding epics in the races. they take too long when the contest is only 5 days long and too many people buy their way past them. make it more fair with common or uncommons.

I also had thought the idea of the real time PvP. We could use this kind of battle to create a tournament, like the World Cup. The winner wins 1000 gems and 1 Legendary monster. How about we use the real time battle in the team wars too? New types of battle, like battling without using runes, that can create lots of strategies. Or battling using monsters of only one element.

@Kaiju your weapon idea sounds like Relics.

What do people think about runes for skills?

Power/Accuracy/Stamina/Cooldown

Take away runes for Monsters, and make the runes just for their skills. You can customise a skill, such as add a stamina rune to it to lower its stamina cost by 10%, or add a cooldown rune to it to lower the cooldown by 1 etc..

@Clackers I don't think that's necessary. The runes for monster is enough and a better way to increase the monster's strength in my opinion.

@Max-Pinheiro But do we need runes for monsters?

Stamina can be recharged or rejuvenated by allies, life can be increased with shields etc, and power can be improved by applying double damage etc. Speed could also be utilised with slow/haste skills rather than runes.

@Clackers The runes for monsters has many advantages. The speed rune allows your team to go first to win the battle, and the runes for skills can't do that. The Strength rune boosts the power of all skills instead of one. And as for the other runes, you can use these positive effects you mentioned. Also, If it doesn't make sense using the runes for monsters, it doesn't make sense using runes for skills because of the positive effects, but if we choose one type of runes, I would still choose the runes for monsters.

OF course we need them ,, in war successful def and attack depend on how you rune your monster - assuming you both use same monsters--
it is very important strategic part of the game , no way replace it it is better

Maybe relic will have something to do with trait or skills - have to wait and see- but no replace runes

@Haka-Taka I would prefer it if monsters hatched from eggs automatically at level 100 with their own base stats.

Only fine-tuning runes to skills would you begin to get any strategy in this game.

At the moment, just buy Samael.

@Clackers
i am free players so no samael for me and yep he is op but with the right rune you can defeat it ,, recently i fought him in war , didn't get my 15 coins but 13 thanks to rune for monsters

I think taking the coins away in the shop and getting rid of the shop is a horrible idea. They have already taken enough stuff away. I would like to see the monsters in the shop go back to a realistic price. 800 coins was to low, but 2500 coins is way to high. When they had it at 1200 or 1500 even, at least it was realistic.

David mentioned in another post about adding tiers (leagues) to the Team Race and giving a prize according to league. I would like to see this in the game.

I would like to see rewards better for the higher level players. As it is there is no incentive to increase your Rank.

I would like to see option to see Items we have collected since the only place we can use these anymore is in the dungeons or Adventure Map.

Decrease in number of monsters it takes to rank up. Prices in the team shop are ridiculous and even buying the monsters to rank is quite expensive.

More sales on runes. Especially level 1 runes. Better odds at crafting runes.

PVP losses to be less and more in line with the wins

Realistic expectations for all players on the 72 hour events. Higher level players are punished and can't even get the monster where lower levels this last event were getting through three rounds of all the monsters.

Yes, I never thought of the built in design for the game to be able to handle different weapons. It would all depend on how that is pieced together by SP.

increase the chances of slow and haste

1. Remove useless traits (energized, (super)attuned, immune to nightmares, immune to magnetize) and replace them all with hardened. This very simple change ups the value on dozens of legendary monsters and creates more diversity in team wars, hardened being an all-around valuable PvP trait that won't make any monster overpowered based on the fact that it only has a 20% chance of actually working.

2. Reduce the number of gem exclusive items/services. Gem costs and increased opportunity for those willing to pay is fine but the game is continuously putting out new ones while never getting rid of the old increasing the negative image of an extremely cash heavy, IAP centered game. Most of them are plain redundancies such as:
   -unlocking rune slots
   -changing skills
   -battle items
   -speeding up buildings, breeding and hatching (below a certain point, <4 hrs for example)
   -extra attack points for dungeons and adventure map

All of these should have a gold or food price instead. Plus this helps balance out the fact that both food and gold drop in value the farther we progress.

3. Add an option to turn off monster animation in habitats. Yes it's "cute" to see them walk around but it gets boring after a few seconds, let alone months or years of playing. There's also the matter of fact that those animations are the core of this game's insane hardware strain on the users' devices.

Looking at all the soundtracks to special events in Monster Legends soundcloud. com/marcos-beran/primal-elements-maze/recommended .

Wouldn't it be good if these islands/mazes/races replaced the Adventure Map islands?

I can just imagine going back to Artifact island one day to try and get Tankerion...

With ML, there is no way of this happening - as the events themselves are just promotions for the monsters (which comes on sale a few months later).

EDIT: No live links...you know this.

I do that anyway

Keeping the same 3 monsters for the whole dungeon might be quick but it s also extremely boring and for lower level players it bars them from advancing. Please don't do that.

You use only the 3 monsters? I like to spice them up and use monsters I usually not use until I get to the last few nodes of stronger monsters.

Its a bit lacy I know but its because I do all dungeons and there are so many hours in a day so its easy to use my strongest team but your right should use some other monsters and enjoy the fights, next one i will do that
