Not quite. There are actually TWO little legends related to ranked now.

If you get gold or higher in 1 of the 2 halves of the set, you get Victorious Hauntling.

If you get gold or higher in BOTH halves of the set you get Triumphant Hauntling.

You will receive the appropriate emote for the top rank you earned each half.

What does both ranked stages mean?

In the middle of the set there is a big gameplay update, partial ranked reset, and new pass. Thats the separation between stage 1 and stage 2.

But it says you can't use the shards on the SG little legends (the Sprite is quite obvious why, but it is in the plural, so I assume silverwing will be included as well)

You will be able to!

Little Legends without additional Tiers will not work, but SG Silverwing does have a 3 star version!

Thank you! Kinda bummed I stared playing as late as I did. The hauntlings are my favourite. But those new dragons are looking dope so maybe I’ll get a new friend in a few weeks.

The best time to start playing was launch, the second best time is now :D

Pretty sure they were talking about the amazing paid arenas. I do agree the pass reward arenas look terrible, I expected vibrant mountain tops in the clouds and not literal rocks near a mountain.

You hate to hear it. Hopefully once you play it in game you'll like it better. Was it just less than you expected, or is it some other reasons that you don't like it?

As a disclaimer the paid ones will always be significantly higher quality as we spend a lot of time on those in comparison (hence also the higher price tag) to the battlepass ones, but we absolutely don't want battlepass to feel bad in any aspect so I'd love to hear why it feels lackluster, especially in comparison to previous BP arenas.

I do like them in general. But in my opinion, from what is visible, they seem like a step down (or at least not a step up) from the Galaxies Pass + arenas. So while I am grateful for all the work you guys do, it seemed that the average quality of all arenas would naturally increase as we moved on from TFT's first season (and I feel they did from Elemental to Galaxies). Those at least had a central object added (often a spacecraft) to complement the space theme. These seem more akin to the base/elemental arenas. I understand why more time is spent on premium arenas. However, I'd argue that while the battle pass + is much more value for its cost, players must also grind for those rewards, not unlocking many of them for weeks. Maybe having a slightly higher tier arena towards the end of the pass would feel better. This time around, the arenas aren't drawing me in, but the addition of the star shards is. I might hold off on buying till the end of the season instead of instabuying. I do want to get my Astronaut Molediver to 3 star :)

Thanks for the feedback :)

I love the feel of climbing up a mountain that the mountains have, and the massive asymmetry probably makes home and visiting games more refreshing than my Frostguard arena. It definitely has its aesthetic place, I'd say.

Maybe that's just my personal narrative speaking for me, since I fought hard just to get into Plat and fall just short of Diamond.

Edit: Actually, not sure how I feel about the rain dishes

Thank you for the reply!

I love what you guys do with arenas and the battlepass, but I wish you handled them slightly differently. I don't think there's much wrong with the battlepass, but what's chosen to be premium content and when you unlock that content could be changed for the better. Just FYI, I have bought both passes and I'll be buying Set 4's as well.

For starters, Set 3 released the UFO Sprite. I really think it makes sense to give this to all players that played during the set, rather than premium pass owners. People that buy the pass almost certainly have a better little legend anyways, so most people that own the UFO Sprite don't use it. If I were a player just starting in Set 3, or I didn't have a little legend I liked, the UFO sprite would be a perfect fit. There were so many people using the plain River Sprite when Set 3 came out, it was a bit disappointing. Now Set 4 has the Jade Sprite, but it's going to be another premium pass thing that I'm sure won't see much use especially now that you can buy your variant from the store. In my opinion, it makes sense to give the Sprite Variant for free, and the Thematic Variant Legend (Astro Molediver/Fortune Pig) at the start of the premium pass (which should reach 3* at the end of the pass, rather than only reaching 2* for some reason).

Then you have the maps. Again, I love what you guys are doing. The premium maps are great, and they're only getting better. There're also maps available on the pass and the free version. But! I have the same problem with the last set. When Set 4 comes out, it's going to be Spirits in Space until people start unlocking the maps. Of course not everyone is going to buy a premium map, but the problem is having the free/pass maps around halfway makes the game not feel like it's thematically shifted until people finally unlock the new stuff. I think it just makes a lot of sense to give a really, really basic but thematic map at the start for free users so that when Set 4 comes out, it really feels like Spirits out the gate.

Thanks for the feedback Icarus :)

I personally can't really directly speak to these kind of product decisions (what's free, what's premium content, etc) and approaches since I'm not a person that is a product manager and hence I don't have full context on why we do these the way we do, but I can definitely take note and bring it up as a suggestion.
