Contemplating on When to Mark it as Completed

So a few days ago I finished up all the battles available when the game initially released, and that made me wonder, did I complete it? In the grand scheme this is an endless ongoing game, so it can never truly be completed and I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon, but it definitely got me wondering if now I’d want to mark it as completed in my lists. I know with other endless mobile games I’ll mark it as completed once I reach a milestone, usually when I finish content originally available at the start, so hence why I’m thinking now might be the time for this game.

But my train of thought is there can be three ways points I can choose to mark this as completed for myself. One is completing the battles for Genetic Apex which I’ve done. The other could be getting all the cards initially at release from Genetic Apex, but that would probably be the hardest feat for me as a free to play player as there’s a lot of rng involved there. Lastly there’s reaching level 50, which I think is doable for me and also involves more to the game outside of just the initial content.

I think I’m leaning towards waiting to mark it as completed in at level 50 currently, but I am curious to hear other people’s thoughts as well!

I've been on this game for a while myself as well. I don't tend to add mobile games here since I tried for a bit and I found it just muddled my lists and what I use HLTB for so I don't tend to think about these kind of issues.

That being said, I would say marking TCGP as completed when finishing all the Genetic Apex single battles is as good a metric as any. The goal I have for this game is both doing all battles and completing the card dex as much as possible. And between the two, I'd agree that clearing all battles is way more "completion-y" than the card dex. Both because cards are way more rng and that it can be completed without interacting with much of the game (particularly if you are trading).

For games that keep adding content I normally do what that is available at the time and just say on the notes "All battles until X date" or "Y Version" or "Z Update", or something like that.

Not sure why level 50 in particular would be the cut off point, but that also works. Is level 50 the max level? If so, I didn't know that!

Yeah I don’t play a lot of mobile games, and I very much don’t track my playtime for them so I usually throw them on my endless list and not give them much attention on here until I realize I’ve reached a completion point.

And yeah level 50 is the max from what I’ve seen and heard! But from hearing your thoughts I think battles makes the most sense to me to mark as completed, since maxing out the level is just something that happens eventually once we’ve played enough and doesn’t require doing anything other than opening packs, while the battles are more something under our control. So I’m going to go with that for now and mark it as completed!
