**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.

Re: Do they even care about their playerbase?
Amazing post Jax. That was wonderful to read, and was great knowing the team's mindset.
AW showcase is perfectly tuned to be as annoying as possible
It’s not optional content, we need to explore it for the king groot piece. Why exploration? Why not completion, you’re telling me I have to do that photon fight twice, horrible.
Also why are the paths so long, I’ve never played a war with this many miniboss fights, in fact on the new map it’s not even possible. At least include some nice path fights if you really want to show off war and how fun it can be.
The AI is horrible on some fights, funnily enough Venom seems to be fine, but Longshot, Fant Man and Mysterio especially seem exceptionally erratic just to trip you up.
This is harder than WoW Abs Man for sure, especially that photon fight I don’t think it’s actually possible to solo her without having devoted far too many hours into Kate bishop (a process I am in the middle of)
Oh and what’s the kicker? It’s only here for 2 weeks. Not permanently, not even for a month, two weeks. A two weeks also filled with WoW, Raids, a new (very hard) war season, Side Quest which you have to play 50 times to get any rewards, the game is so busy already, why add another constraint on our time?
Even more the rewards outside of the King Groot piece are just half a 7*. Compare that to WoW (the closest comparable content imo) the time and effort to reward ratio is pretty poor.
That’s my whining done, maybe I’m just bad at the game but this just seems unnecessarily hard (harder than actual wars from the seasons it’s “showcasing”) and the short time limit feels over the top

Re: After Showcase, are you pushing for top tier war?
Bad example of top tier war. You usually dont take 8-9 fights in one war lolYou have 4 champs for 7 fights, which is 1.75 per champ. In war with 3 champs that would be 5.25 fights, when the average is 5 per player. I'd say that's pretty close.
7 fights because the champ choice means you get 1 free unused one for the boss.
Re: After Showcase, are you pushing for top tier war?
This is just an extremely poorly timed reminder of how just two tactics ago war was kind of fun. Not sure how we've went away from video games being fun which is the whole point.
Re: Showcase Strategy
@BitterSteel ,
Firstly, I would like to make it clear, my frustration is at Kabam recent imbalance in content difficulty (especially when compared to the rewards). So anything I discuss is not towards you, but at Kabam and I appreciate you spend the time replying.
In regarding to this content (and many other Kabam release recently), the biggest issue is who are these content targeting (both on term of difficulties and rewards). You mentioned a number of time that this is similar to T1 AW (which other did have different point of view), but let you that you are spot on, that this is the same level as T1 AW. Then the more important question is why?
How many players are there in a T1 AW and how many are not, like I mentioned before, in Kabam official announcement post on this Mode, they indicated that it even meant for those that doesn't play AW to get a feel. What make Kabam think that those players who never played AW want to jump into T1 AW?
Exactly like you said, T1 player like yourself already experience this all through out the whole season, so why create the same content for you to play again, isn't that just boring for you.
So who is it for?
Yes, in AW you don't get 2nd chance, but at 5 energy per move, it is not exactly cheap either.
Yes, you are also right that not all of the fights are hard, I did solo Venom, Kindred and FAM, but the jump from that to Red Skull and Sasquatch is massive. Imo the Sasquatch is hard than AM WoW Robot objective (and that fight Kabam already indicated they will turn down).
Yes, I understand that these Deathless pieces meant to be in some challenging content, but really at this level, is meant only for a very few top tier players, it is for the 1% again?
I'm glad to hear you provided some feedback to Kabam, but the rest of us none CCP, we don't have the privilege to have a direct line to Kabam, this forum is our only way to give feedback, and for a lot of players it does feel like it is unheard, because only over a month after players feedback on AM WoW Robot, and Fintech Carina, Kabam come along and release this.
Yes, it would be lovely to have a big stacked and ranked up champs, but a commoner playes like myself (and many other), resources are limited, we work hard and have chose carefully on who we can rank up (or even lucky enough to pull), so when Kabam release content that require even more specific champs every other weeks (let not forget the ever useful Thor, Harkeyes and Black Widow OG), it hard for players to keep up with.
Anyway, after all said and done, a commoner player likr myself, at AW P6, did managed to finish my run, but at a high cost, I used up all my items was saving up to try Mojo Carina. So now will have to go back is square one and continue with the grind and save up for my the 2nd and WoW.
And Kabam wonder why players are asking where is the fun?
Anyway @Bittersteel, thanks for the discussion and hope you have a good week ahead. 😊

I actually liked doing this just as solo content once but there’s no way I’d want to do this multiple times with my ally lol

🟩 No, was never interested in the first place.
I feel this represents how I feel better.

Re: After Showcase, are you pushing for top tier war?
As someone who has a lot of T1 experience I should mention that the showcase is not an accurate representation of what high tier war is about.
For instance it’s very rare if ever you’re taking 9 fights you got 9 other teammates helping you clear the field. You’re also not facing r3 7* sig 200 defenders all over the map unless it’s TCN. Lastly a lot of those fights are on different paths so you’re not having to put together a team where you’d have to take a sketchy fight with not an ideal counter.
