Does anyone else not enjoy Gauntlet?

Howdy howdy!

Whenever I get the Gauntlet activity pop up I groan

Idk what exactly it is about it, because you can get a decent amount of stuff from it, but to me it feels awfully tedious.

And I'm not really complaining about it being difficult, the Arena really helped me understand synergy better and my team is pretty decent for Gauntlet.

But I often find myself stopping around level 4 or 5 because I just don't feel like doing it AT ALL.

It feels like a waste of time and stamina to me. Maybe once there are more pebble sinks so it becomes a decent pebble farm I'd be more inclined. But right now it just feels like a pointless waste of stamina (and thus food).

Anyone else with me? Or maybe you really like Gauntlet and can explain why, maybe I just have a skewed perspective and could see it from a different angle.

It is what is is, until it isn't. Even then, it still is.

i feel exactly the same, it's just too tedious. the cooldown between levels is what does it for me.

i can understand it being there for the arena as that's pvp, but given the campaign doesn't have a cooldown after fights i'm not sure why gauntlet does since it's also pve. there's likely a reason and i just don't know, but on the off-chance there isn't, i hope the cooldown can be removed.

Same! I stop just after level 5-6, it becomes really tedious after that. Personally, I don't find the payouts to be worth it and the fact that it drains so much stamina really turns me against it.

Like you said, until there's a good pebble sink I don't really see it's worth.

The rewards really REALLY aren't worth it.. I go up to level 10 which is 5500 pebbles + whatever trinkets/mats drop… I've gotten as low as 4 trinkets/mats.. for 10 rounds of 5 enemies.

Plus I clear it and 30 seconds later it's back on my activities so.. thbbpt.

Same tho, I actually don't do the gauntlet at all. xD It doesn't feel rewarding enough for the time, and the waiting between rounds is unfun. I feel like I can make more from the trinkets I'd earn in just explore mode than playing gauntlet.

Yeah I have a tendency to put it off xD And Fishing too, I don't enjoy fishing very much either.

The wait times plus the fact that you only get +1 XP each round, and also, the prizes aren't great? I only go to level 5 because meh.

Also, that and fishing come up waaaaay too often on the activities. Especially fishing, which has a hard limit.

Every round 30 seconds is too boring…And if you fail, you lose all the rewards :(

@Isegard I don't get a cooldown between levels except for the first level, and even then it's only 10 seconds if that.

I do agree the reward isn't high enough for the stamina cost.

@Avessa

Oh if you hit refresh as soon as battle start you get 25 sec lock until next floor can start. I use 3 kits and 2 ks krane and can get to stage 15 or higher all time but I understand not everyone have 2 kranes for that
