**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

ANNOUNCING EVENT QUEST: HOTEL M.O.D.O.K

WISH YOU WERE HERE
With The Collector deposed, The Grandmaster has had to do some housekeeping. One note on the to-do list is what should be done about the self-proclaimed genius M.O.D.O.K and his experiments? According to The Grandmaster, the easiest solution would be to give him his own small part of The Battlerealm to do as he pleases. So that’s exactly what he’s done!

Come take a trip to M.O.D.O.K’s slice of The Battlerealm where relaxation and experimentation are aplenty. Scientific hybrids with a vacation getaway theme, what could be more relaxing?


STUDY BUDDIES
M.O.D.O.K has been studying his combatants in the contest for a while, and after much research M.O.D.O.K is sure that his genius intellect will be more than enough to handle any foes who cross his path. M.O.D.O.K’s studies have not finished however, as he continues to analyze and study his opponents for the competitive edge. His force field also allows him to Auto-Block incoming attacks.

Taskmaster has entered The Contest! With a knack for picking up new skills on the fly, Taskmaster is second to none at analyzing opponents in the heat of combat. During a fight, Taskmaster can match his Opponent’s last Attack for Direct Damage, as well as reduce the duration of debuffs.


ANNOUNCING NEW DIFFICULTY: UNCOLLECTED DIFFICULTY
A new difficulty has been added to the monthly Event Quests! Summoners who have become Uncollected by completing Act 5 Chapter 2 and are Level 40 will find a new step in difficulty available to them. Called simply UNCOLLECTED, this difficulty comes with new rewards and challenges, and will be available in the monthly Event Quests going forward.

Each map features a path which brings back some buffs from Act 5 such as Buffet and Bane. But once these paths are completed and the quest is mastered, a new set of rewards are yours for the taking. Including a new exclusive “Unchallenged” title, only available during the first release of the new difficulty.

For completing and mastering all of the Uncollected quests, you earn:
  • 4020x 4-Star Crystal Shards
  • 7500x 5-Star Crystal Shards
  • 2500x 6-Star Crystal Shards
  • 12000x Tier 2 Alpha Catalyst Fragment
  • 10x 5-Star Signature Stone Crystal
  • 9000x Tier 5 Generic Catalyst Shard
  • 1x Tier 4 Class Catalyst Crystal
  • 1x Unchallenged Title

OTHER DIFFICULTY CHANGES
A few changes have come to some other difficulties as well, Beginner difficulty has been made easier for new players as well as paths have been reduced on some maps to accelerate the rate at which they master quests.

Master difficulty has had its difficulty slightly reduced as well, PI ranges are now lower in the second half of the Event Quests to allow for a smoother difficulty curve.

Q&A

How long does this quest run for?
This quest will be starting on the 6th of December at ~10:00AM PST and will run until January 3rd at 10:00AM PST. Those attempting Legends runs will have until December 20th to 100% explore both Heroic and Master difficulties.

You must update to the new 16.1 Release to be able to see and participate in this quest.


Does this mean that you're changing how the Legends Program works?
Not right now! We may make an adjustment in the future, but don't have any plans for this at the moment

I can’t see some of the rewards under “View Rewards” Are they missing?
No, they’re there! Currently we can’t fit all the rewards in the preview. So on some difficulties a few of the rewards won’t be visible when you preview the quest. You will still get them however.

How do I get the Legends title associated with Master Difficulty?
The Legends title and rewards will be given to the 100 players who 100% explore HEROIC AND MASTER difficulties in Hotel M.O.D.O.K the fastest. Just like recent Event Quests, this quest will take advantage of the Time Attack system we’ve put in place for our Monthly Quest Legends Program. This means that the players that completely explore Heroic and Master difficulty the fastest within the first 2 weeks of the event being live will win the title. More information on that can be found here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/27/time-attack-legends-program
In addition to this distinction, these first 100 will receive the following rewards:

#1-5 - 3x Tier 4 Class Catalyst Crystal
#6-100 - 1x Tier 4 Class Catalyst Crystal

    Holy ****. More than half a 5* crystal for the uncollected difficulty. Kabam is on a roll. Great (censored) moves!

    Will we need to finish heroic and master to unlock uncollected quest ? Or only master ?

    Full 5* crystal for 100% heroic-uncollected. Love it. Nicely done Kabam.

    How's the energy cost going to look for uncollected level?
  • Rocket2002Rocket2002 Posts: 5
    First of all this looks amazing, good job.
    But some questions...
    1) Do you have to do master initially to unlock uncollected?
    2) Uncollected is same opponents as master and costs same energy but opponents are buffed and get some nodes from act 5 ? Or how does that work?
    Thanks in advance
  • BendyBendy Posts: 3,131 ★★★★★
    Wow do we have to 100% master or can we go straight into uncollected quest if we have uncollected
  • Is the path reduction only for early maps like beginner or is it across the board?
  • Holy ****. More than half a 5* crystal for the uncollected difficulty. Kabam is on a roll. Great (censored) moves!

    Heroic + Master + Uncollected = one basic 5* crystal.

    Its a good question, although I can't imagine any uncollected player passing up the master mode rewards.
  • Viper1987Viper1987 Posts: 728 ★★★
    Curious to know the PI ranges of Uncollected difficulty and should we expect to see 6* champs here?
  • NeowantsyouNeowantsyou Posts: 198 ★★
    Will the energy be 4 per tile, or the usual 3?
  • MH2804MH2804 Posts: 77
    Wow! Full 6* crystal in two months. 5k shards from Act 4, and 2.5k from uncollected! Awesome.
  • What kind of difficulty (roughly) are we talking about for uncollected? 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, LoL....?

    It's less passing up the rewards and more about seeing if we can get this done first. With the amount of time/energy Heroic and Master take to complete (unless you buy refills and plow through it), it's entirely possible someone who wants to try/complete the Uncollected difficulty could simply run out of time.

    Especially when you factor in the Halls of Healing, Halls of Fortune, T4C Frag Dailies, and all of the other goodies Kabam has released for December.

    Doubt it will be much more than 5.2. Might be less since it unlocks on completion of 5.2
  • AshtontonicAshtontonic Posts: 63
    Is the energy required for uncollected quest is gonna be the same with master level? or it will be higher?
    overall for heroic and master energy required for each tile will be adjust lesser?
  • DoctorJDoctorJ Posts: 842 ★★★
    OMGWTFBBQ KABAM WHY NO T1A IN UNCOLLECTED REWARDS WHY YOU HATE PLAYERS!?!?1!!1

    Serious note, uncollected looks outstanding! Very excited to try this level of difficulty out! Rewards are outstanding too!
  • kconrad37kconrad37 Posts: 160 ★★
    I actually would like to comment on the serious lack of T1A available as of late. It is much harder for end game players to get the T1A necessary to keep up ranking 5* champions. They need to be made much more available.
  • RaganatorRaganator Posts: 2,498 ★★★★★
    Geez...you guys gonna save anything good for 2018, or just blow it all in December?
  • ChitlinsChitlins Posts: 164 ★★
    So what's the difficulty going to be at in this quest? 5.3 ish im assuming?
  • Madman_marvinMadman_marvin Posts: 644 ★★★★
    Quest isn’t stickied to top of general discussion mods.
  • No units for the completion/exploration of uncollected mode?
  • BendyBendy Posts: 3,131 ★★★★★
    Where are the units for uncollected or have they been increased or taken away since if how great rewards are
  • Madman_marvinMadman_marvin Posts: 644 ★★★★
    What is the energy per tile in Uncollected difficulty?
  • QwertyQwerty Posts: 636 ★★★
