Kabam, Adaptive EQ Isn’t "Adaptive"... It’s Just Broken
Let’s be real: the new adaptive EQ has blown past “challenging” and gone straight to “insulting.” Players are grinding through fights that stretch endlessly, with difficulty scaled so brutally that it doesn’t feel adaptive, it just feels punishing.
Many of us, especially long-time players, feel the heat. We’re not asking for easy mode, but we do expect a fair challenge that respects time, effort, and roster diversity, not just the top 1%.
The concept had potential, but gameplay now feels like an endurance test where only the most built-up accounts survive. The scaling apparently excludes everyone else:
"Difficulty stays insane even as you rank up your champions. That’s not scaling, it’s setting players up for burnout."
"Fights drag on way too long. This isn’t fun; it’s a chore. The adaptive idea gets buried under grind-heavy execution."
"And hearing that it’s aimed “at no one” because the scaling isn’t even rewarding the elite? That’s a massive fail."
Kabam, you’ve got a gem here if you fix it. Let’s get:
Balanced difficulty bands:
make it accessible without hand-holding, challenging without being torturous.
Shorter, tighter quests:
something players can tackle in shorter bursts, not all-day marathons.
Meaningful scaling:
where improving your roster actually helps, not just increases the punishment.
Otherwise, this misfire will push more players toward quitting than prestige.

1) Adaptive EQ is great as is
2) Needs minor tweaks
3) Needs major rework
4) Scrap it entirely

Re: Since nobody is moderating forums...
Appreciate the sentiment haha, just doing my job. Would much rather it go to whoever your favorite creator is, want these codes to do well so we can expand the program.
Re: Are you skipping EQ this month?
Have been playing on 2 accounts for years, main account is 9 yrs old. Stopped playing the FTP account for few months now and losing interest with these recent changes.
Also, Just cancelled my sigil subscription which would be renewed next week.

Free F.F. 7 star nexus in Summoner's Market
Yes, for those of you who don't know, you are welcome. If you login to the summoner's market for today and the next four days, by claiming your daily market points, you can claim a free F.F. 7 star nexus. There are some good champs in that pool.
Who to pick from Nexus
It's been a while since I've been so stumped of who to choose from a Nexus.
Duping Rintrah would be good but he's not as much in the frame.
Hyperion is, I think, objectively the better champion, and I do have a Cosmic AG (which I'd been saving for Serpent...) but Omega Sentinel seems to come up so often as a top choice for quests and content...
I do play Battlegrounds but not particularly seriously - generally just get to GC then stop.
