Best Of

The excuse they will give is that the content is designed for endgame players.

The "excuse" is it is intended to be aspirational content. Meaning, even most of the end game players are likely to be unable to tackle it immediately, and will have to build up towards it.

That's what this game is. I know a lot of people say they play this game "to have fun" or "to have a casual distraction" or "to kill a few minutes in their day" which is all fine, players are free to play it however they want. But the game is not designed to cater specifically to that. it is intended to be a progressional game as a service. There is no end. There is no point where players can expect to have done enough to cruise through it. The point is to always have something else to have to work hard for, especially if you want it sooner than later. Most of the time, the end game content in the game is well within reach of most end game players, or players that consider themselves such. But sometimes the intent is to push even them.

Not push in the sense of oh my god they had to use a revive. Push as in "how am I supposed to do this?" It is meant to be that for the best players in the game. So of course, its going to look completely impossible for the rest of us, at least at the moment. They are supposed to work to beat it, and the rest of us are supposed to aspire to eventually work up to the point of being able to tackle it.

Now, if you think such things don't belong in the game, that's your prerogative. But the devs disagree, and this is not the first nor the last time they are going to try to make such content.

I can't state how well they hit that mark, because I'm one of the players that is likely going to have to aspire to work up to it. But I don't mind that. I'm fine with having things in the game I can't do right away and have to plan on tackling when I am much stronger than I am now. And the people saying how this is going to hurt the game have a completely unrealistic view of the playerbase of this game. For 99.9% of the players of this game EoP is just as much out of reach and completely aspirational as Wheel is. None of them is going to care one bit that Wheel is too hard for them, because so many other things are also out of reach, but they don't mind not doing them.

The players this is meant for are going to be fine. Most of the rest of the players aren't going to care, because if they were the type of player to quit over Wheel they'd have quit long before over Gauntlet or EoP or any of the other pieces of content they can't do either (not without spending excessively to attempt it). It is only a very tiny slice of the playerbase who can do the other stuff but can't do this, and think they are supposed to be able to do everything immediately, that are going to consider this to be a problem.

If the rewards are so bad why do you care about not being able to do it

Because it's still content. And rewards are still rewards at the end of the day. But overall, the fights themselves and the restrictions make the content very difficult, and the rewards should reflect that difficulty. It's fair to say the rewards do not reflect that. But again, rewards are still rewards, and everyone wants to acquire them.

Fr. Story content that is months old by now still has better rewards than “the most difficult and challenging content the contest has ever seen”. Epoch has better rewards, especially once you factor in all the rank up gems and hundreds of 7* sig stones, and it is able to be completed by any player with skill and a good roster. Some of these fights have one or maybe two usable champions and many of them are titan or event exclusive, like void. Spiral was the only decent option for the serpent fight and she a recent release that’s still in the titan pool

Just help me with some counters

LDS - vox?
Arcade - Duped Gorr?

Thanos - Dani/Domino/storm?

LDS can be done with anyone and it’s a long fight, I used Prowler. Save Vox for Arcade because he does amazing there

Thanos I’d say Dani

Thanks for your suggestion.

that makes sense so I would save vox for Arcade

I was going to use him for LDS due to immunity to power drain and special lock.

I have Guardian Prowler and Mysterio all rank 3

who would be faster out for the 3?

They’re all gonna be really slow (Prowler took 18 mins) you’ll just have to sp3 spam. Very easy with him and I recommend him because the falter makes her more aggressive, you have taunt, and he’s just super safe to use

Vox doesn’t work on the node for power drain, it drains anyone. It’s a special node
