Best Of

The mode is far better now. It is not difficult at all. I’m playing at 28k prestige, difficulty 10 and easily able to take fights with r1 champions. I don’t think elder was necessarily meant for everyone. It’s something to work towards by building your rosters.

For me, it's much, MUCH easier than before. Just finished 2.1 now (the one with Jessica Jones as boss) without spending any revives or potions. In the older difficulty, I had to spend revives on Gwenpool

But I agree the ideal scenario would be different difficulties to choose from, with different rewards

it is very much better than before. The bigger health pools allow for more fun fights ramping further damage. This is exactly the brainless fun we want. Now rewards, the first eq version they gave us with triple boss fights sucked it wasn’t as fun and less rewarding .. ud get maybe half a titan and 1/15th of a t7b. Now after ranking 2 champs from last eq to this reset today. Under 30k pi, am getting more than 1 full free titan and a t7 b full free a month… if ur having trouble play more rank up proper counters. Cus this eq version is the best iv ever seen worth of fun and rewarding

I moved up a tier (prior to the reset and the adjustment of tiers) and the attack values are still cut by like 30-40% and the health pools are cut by around 25-30% as well. It is much, much better than it was. There should still be some challenge to it, just not anywhere near the degree that we had to deal with at launch. This is quite a bit easier, and also significantly faster. But that doesn't mean there won't still be players that use resources to get through the content.

Zola is an excellent defender. He’s even underrated because many forget that you can’t reduce his ability accuracy or power rate. That means you can’t remove problematic nodes like that recent bgs where they get evade and unstoppable after their specials. That means you can’t use neutralise for example to get rid of it so tigra is useless against him. Also you can’t easily knull Zola because you can’t reduce his combat power rate. Easily the best tech defender

I am speaking for myself and any end game player who has been waiting for approximately 5 years for EQ to be relevant…

You're not an end game player, and haven't experienced having a game mode consistently being outdated for years.. that's fine too, but don't wish for a broken system to be reverted to just because you didn't like the first attempts on the new one..

The concept of adaptive EQ is great.. I keep repeating that the concept is good.. not the initial execution, but literally no one reads that part.. and just says "Change it back!" I say.. neither.. don't change it back, but continue to improve the new system to make nearly every progression level happy.. that's what they are actually trying to do, but missed the mark by a lot of on the first try.. I'm simply saying, take it back to the bench and keep working on it (and yes, include some options for lower difficulty)

The reason adaptive difficulty is needed is that over time.. you'd have like 17 different difficulties and it would make the game even more bloated.. they're trying to streamline, which imo, is what this game needs

I wouldn’t play the current version of EQ for $100 cash. II’m with Vega- no more money. Fix the game.

Thank you for clarifying this. It would've been ideal if this communication was sent out along with rewards or before it went out.

Sometime between the usual Everest-content November and Spring Cleaning.
