Open your eyes, guys.

It's clear that this whole movement to change the EQ is to encourage players to spend more money buying resources and pursuing the top 30 characters with the highest prestige. Not to mention buying potions and revives.

The only people who benefit from this new prestige scheme are the whales who inhabit the top 100+ players in the game. They are always getting all the new champions at launch and evolving them to the maximum (7 stars, r4 x 200).

The casual player with prestige 01/15 will face the same difficulty as the player with prestige 15/15 and receive fewer rewards. Does that seem fair to you? Basically, you're doing the same work (or more because your roster isn't full of 7 stars r4 x 200) and earning fewer rewards for it, simply because you haven't played the game long enough and haven't spent enough money to reach the pinnacle of 15/15 prestige.

The rewards should be based on each player's skill in overcoming challenges, not on how much money they spent to get the top 30 most prestigious characters.

I mentioned this in my previous comment, but again, Kabam is a company and clearly needs to make a profit, but there are numerous ways they can improve profits without compromising player enjoyment.

I seriously question if they even discuss “fun” anymore in their meetings…. At least in terms of the average to above average player.

Everest or here is some poker/turn based RPG is not it

Kabam has reached a whole new level of delusional lately. It honestly feels like they have no idea what to do and what not to do anymore. Their “main motive” seems to be making sure players are as frustrated as possible.

I mean, how do they not even understand the basic purpose of a monthly quest? Sure, they slap the word “adaptive” on it, but adaptive to who exactly? Because it’s definitely not adaptive to anyone playing - every fight feels like Everest content with defenders swinging 23k+ attack like it’s nothing. Super fun design choice…

And instead of tackling the endless bugs, crashes, and all the competitive integrity issues that are actually ruining the game, they waste resources changing stuff that wasn’t even broken. It’s like they go out of their way to fix what nobody asked for, while ignoring everything players actually care about.

If they really wanted to push this “adaptive prestige” nonsense, they should’ve just tied it to rewards and kept the fights fair. Defender attack should scale from the ground up, not start off at absurd levels.

At this point, it feels less like game design and more like Kabam’s running an endurance test to see how long players will stick around.

I think the idea of an adaptive quest with adaptive rewards is great.

Auto-leveling is ALWAYS bad. There is no exceptions. It punish growth and destroys feeling of progression.

The idea of the rewards and difficulty scaling with your account as you progress is great in theory, it’s just not been executed well. I agree with all the sentiment in this thread

I agree with most you said. I will say it was a win when they removed the need to do thronebreaker eq and we could jump right into valiant difficulty. Now it seems they added that back with classic. As far I understand, I believe they did this so we could get the lower difficulty rewards, but it's still an annoying thing to do.

The discord is full of power tripping mods. They say that you're allowed to critique the game as a whole (just not specific devs, which is obviously fair). And yet they ban people for calling the update a scam.

Granted, most discord mods are like that.

Massive drop.

Bruh I did EQ in morning and it took me around 25+ revives and some pots to fully explore this Sh**

Not only eq design is sh** but also u gonna feel input drops and weird ai during eq fights

Out of every hard contents I did like necro,carina,wof i found this eq ai the weirdest one

The ai has done so stupid things during this eq run of mine I can't even describe and input drops is always there too of not registering dex and parry
