What's the difference between super duper ascensions like corvus/hm/spiral and ascension base pool like punk/zemo/mojo?

If you’re continually dying in classic difficulty of EQ, going to be honest here man you need to take a step back and figure out the game mechanics and node interactions better.

They can make it 7 days just like raids. Monday to Monday

Simply as a boss that you need to get down, he's not all that much. He's very doable. If you've taken him down in Wheel of Fate, this is basically a much easier version of that fight.

However, as a boss that you have to grind and grind and grind over and over and over with a multitude of champions over a very limited time period, he's still annoying as hell.

There's just no "groove" that you can get into the way you could with some of the other bosses. I feel like I have to "be there" every second of the fight so as to not mess things up horribly and get severely punished for my mistakes. Getting a good run (or five) wasn't the issue for me - grinding up all of the podiums were. That was a lot more annoying than in previous fights, and this is the first time I failed to reach the top solo milestone. No one in my alliance got there, despite people putting in objectively good individual runs. It was just the grind that got in the way.

Probably it's DOT on both sides ticking and dealing the fatal damage at the same time, it's pretty rare but still possible

For context, his account name is Professionals, and he made atrocious jokes about how he liked raping an 11-year-old child, posting it repeatedly on global chat, despite having been warned to stop. You can read the forum here:

This guy also openly admits that he is modding. So do not believe him. I am surprised that his account was not permanently banned, only his access to chats.

Two months after what was a great event, I find myself wondering whether this game is still being run by the same people.
I honestly find it impossible to believe that the same team came up with these node and defender combinations, with Dimensional Arcade, and with the silent changes to Daunted and Protection (which are completely unacceptable). I mean… why would you even do all of this?

In just a little over two months, Kabam has managed to completely undo all the positive work done in December, and I’m getting really tired of this cycle. It’s always the same story: one good decision, followed by ten terrible ones; then the player base gets angry and disappointed, apologies are issued, and a few months later we’re right back at the starting point. Once again, they don’t listen to the community and make questionable decisions. (not necessarily in that order)

Since, to me, fun, enjoyable and maybe even relaxed gaming means something very different, my suggestion is to do what I’ll be doing: wait a few days to see how things unfold, and if you’re still not satisfied, take a break from the game. Their behavioral pattern has been the same for years now, so it’s unlikely to change for the better. They don’t really listen, and they never learn.
So maybe it’s time we do. At this point, it feels like a lost cause.

Remember the original Twitch livestream announcement for the new coliseum? Mike and Dave presented this new context as simple as clearing health bars on big champs. "Don't worry about all the mechanics" they said. Just go in, clear as many health bars as you can, repeat. Super fun! Big rewards! Easy as that. Then, for the first round, they gave us all a bunch podium upgrade tokens so we could do just that.

Enter the actual coliseum. Every boss (with the exception of Void in the solo coliseum) has been absolutely awful. 25 energy for one run. The community overwhelming agrees - this is not fun, this is not enjoyable, this is not as advertised from the original Twitch stream.

I have played this game off and on since early 2015, taking breaks up to even a year. I remember when 4* were crazy rare. I remember when ROL was first defeated. I remember 12.0. I would guess the majority of people still playing this game are adults like me who are life-long fans of Marvel/DC.

Mike and Dave (and the rest of the team) - do not advertise game modes as fun, enjoyable, simple, just jump and have fun - and then make them miserable. Coliseum is miserable (with the exception of Void in the solo coliseum - he seemed reasonable to me). Just like your new dimensional arcade is not being played like you hoped, coliseum is not going as you advertised.

Sincerely, a regular Joe and long-time player of this game.
