Re: Glorious Guardian & Heart of Fire Champs
What they mean to say is they will enter the basic pool after the Titan pool resets. We might get confirmation of that within a month if omega days goes into the basic after this titan rotationGlorious guardians will be next Titan reset after Christmas, hearts of fire probably not for a while, lumatrix will go to the base pool at some pointPretty sure glorious guardians go straight to the basic pool. The previous banquet champs (I forgot the name) never entered the titan and went straight to the basic so I'm sure the glorious guardians will do the same.

Re: Glorious Guardian & Heart of Fire Champs
I know, I said next Titan reset, as in when the titan next resets after Christmas they'll go into the base pool. Pretty sure the gifted guardians still waited until the titan pool change before going into the basicGlorious guardians will be next Titan reset after Christmas, hearts of fire probably not for a while, lumatrix will go to the base pool at some pointPretty sure glorious guardians go straight to the basic pool.

Re: long form content
Honestly, I'd just continue with the Story right now. I think Act 7 and onwards is really fun and it also has the best rewards for effort spent.
But if you want a break from the Story, here are some other suggestions:
Carina's Challenges. There are a ton of them and you're bound to find some that fit where you're at in the game right now. However, more and more will open up to you as you play the game. For example, the ones I was about to recommend - Lagacy's challenges - requires you to be a bit further into the Story than you currently are. However, even if you're not currently able to do any of them, it can be a good thing to at least keep an eye on them. If you want to make a run through Grandmaster's Gauntlet, for example, you might as well do it with the champions that make up one of the two Carina's Challenges that take place in there. The best of these challenges requires you to beat a specific content with a specific type of team, and often these teams are very well-suited to take on those challenges. That wasn't always the case - some of the early CCs were just horrible for the sake of being difficult - but I've enjoyed all of the more recent challenges in the last few years.
I think the Eternity of Pain gauntlet is a good place to test your skills. You don't necessarily have to beat the gauntlet right now - that's a tall ask considering that you just became Thronebreaker - but don't be afraid to dip your toes into it. Just to get a feel for content that's one or two or seven steps up from what you might be used to. Back in the day, I used the Variant quests in a similar way. At first, I'd just die and die and die. However, as I came back and tried it over and over again as both my roster and my skills grew, I eventually started finding the rhythm and when I noticed that I could actually beat the first champion(s) without too much hassle, I decided to do a real push forward. Now, these Variant quests are terribly outdated by today's standards so I wouldn't recommend you pushing through them, but the principle still stands. It's good to have a piece of content to have your eyes on. Even if you can't beat the quest now, you'll eventually get there, and when you've gotten there, you'll start to be able to do even more types of endgame content.
Good luck!

Re: AI issues accountability
Just a friendly reminder that kabam has been accountable to the issues with AI and have been working on recreating the entire AI system just to fix those issues.

Also to parrying while dashing back, that's because you're dashing back from the left side of your screen. When you do that, the game inputs a 1 frame block input before the dex. Swiping from the right side of the screen or simply doing it on PC solves that issue.

Re: Help in Battlegrounds
I just reached Uru and for past 2 hours I lost every match i.e. 21 matchups in a row. I am returning player and at Paragon level at present. Don’t know how to proceed. Matchups are very tough and usually all of them were Valiant with stacked battle deck.How you are losing probably matters here. If you’re losing 50k to 42k or 47k to 39k, then it’s probably that their roster is just a bit stronger and their skills are a bit better and you just need to get better. But if you’re losing 51k to 12k, that’s not just that they are stronger than you, it’s that you aren’t doing something right. Maybe you haven’t built a good deck for the meta, maybe you’re unaware of the current tactics, maybe you keep reparrying into a stun that gets reflected back into your attacker and then their Enchantress combos you before you can reset her spells and she specials you to death, like just for example not that that’s happened to me of course ha ha.
Roster matters, and if you’re a lower Paragon facing off against all the Valiant monsters that’s going to be tough, but you got into GC in the first place and the competition from V2 to Uru 6 isn’t a gigantic leap, or at least shouldn’t be. And by the way, if you did 21 matches in two hours that sounds like you’re forfeiting at least a few of them. I wouldn’t recommend that. Play the match. Just because your opponent has a giant roster, doesn’t mean he knows how to drive it. You can run into a less skilled player, and you can get lucky in the draft. In fact, consider this: if you’re running into them with zero rating, ask yourself why they have zero rating with such huge rosters? You aren’t going to get better unless you actually fight the fight, and meanwhile if those guys have zero rating in Uru 6 with those big rosters, eventually you’ll be able to take at least some of them.

Re: Mastery Points
The mastery points were for anyone impacted. The rest of the rewards was 90 daysi dont think either i contacted support about this they only compensated player for 90 days no one elsethat why im missing those mastery pointsIm missing the one in necro, but the act 4 mastery points are rewarded for completion not exploration and i have act 4 completed... still missing 1 pointIf you had Completed (but not Explored) Act-4 as of the time some years ago that they revamped it (and, yes, changed the Mastery points from Explore over to Complete), then you were supposed to have been in the category of players that should have (eventually, also way back by now) been compensated with missing Mastery points that they could no longer claim by finishing Act-4.
(*which, is the reason why you see your Act-4 Map pic that way that you showed. Revamp totally redid stuff, and any remaining segments of changed/merged paths might show as undone for just a portions of a path that you still have to do to get full Explore)
There were still some people that said they never received them.
But (not sure ?) if they were sent via in game mail rewards, they would have eventually expired (even expired from stash) if you had not logged in within a certain # of days from them issuing the points.
vs, if they were just directly added to your player profile ?
