One glaring problem with the NEW LAYOUT, especially when having a Defense that is short of 10 defenders.

** BOSS KILL ** ?????

(ok, technically called “Battlegroup Clears”, for landing on last node of map)

If there is just a single EMPTY node, someone always have a FREE PATH to those Points (no having to fight).

And that they increased the Boss Kill points from 20,000 to 50,000 per BG.
(yes, the overall total points seems to have gone up, besides for Boss Kill too, but that one is a particularly huge jump).

*** Especially when there's NO BOSS in the new design. Just travel a path (even an Empty one) and land on final Node.
You could say “every defender is a Boss on the whole map”. But not if you (or opponents) are short a player.

SOLUTION, change it back to 9 Normal Defenders, and a 10th would be Boss at the end that everyone will have a change to fight and help take down. But no free lunch.

That would also align better with old system, 9 paths (and a backup, or just 9 if you were short a player because of timing of when someone leaves and joins).

Tier Cutoff for being able to do ALL FIGHTS vs just 1 Fight.

HARD and below, all portals link to beginning of ALL other islands (except for its own current island).
So you can do 1 of the 2 fights on an island, go to any other island, do a fight, go right back to your original island and do the other side of it, etc.

It's not just “any island going forward in direction” (like the prior maps 3 mini islands before boss island were). Here, you can go backwards to prior islands as well.

In fact, in really low tiers where maybe the entire defense is empty, 1 person can just run thru the entire map and get 100% Explore without doing anything (except for waiting quite a bit for AW Energy to refresh lots of times). (or actually, going back for the 2nd fight in each would just take 1 more energy per island, as the other 3 nodes on them would have been touched by you the first time thru)

CHALLENGER Tier and above, is where the Portals only take you to the END NODE. 1 Fight only.

I officially surrender

There was discussion here after initial announcement, whether or not you could do more than 1 node each,
Maybe up to 5 nodes (assuming only forward traveling portals).

Well, the portals ALL allow you to go to ANY other island.
So you could actually have a single person do all 10 defenders.
(at least, that's what it looks like to me)

Not all tiers. I could only go to the end node after doing my 1 fight.

Tier 12 Intermediate map.
One player can do all fights.

I spent 12,000 units, all grinded as I'm F2P, and left with nothing but a sig 40 Apoc. All I wanted was Future Antman- even had a tech gem, R4 mats, several sig stones and a relic ready for him. Not only did I not get him, I only got my least favorite champ in the pool three times.

My personal feedback from this event: The 7 star crystals should have been gacha boxes. At least that way you don't duplicate the same champ over and over again from the pool of 5 (shoutout to the guy that maxed out the event and STILL didn't get 1 of each champ).

Also, you guys should give far more advance notice of the champs coming to the pool. Had I known earlier that my literal favorite champ Future Antman was coming to the crystal, I would have saved more, but with the amount of time granted us it was impossible to grind more units than I did, and it was still completely worthless.

On the topic of notice, you should also be clear when these champs will return to the basic pool. The Omega Days champs are STILL not obtainable anywhere, how much more these new champs? What happened to transparency?

I presume we can expect an event of this sort at this time every year from now on, so I'll be saving in accordance (unless there isn't, but I don't think @KabamDORK said anything about this being a regularly scheduled event)

All in all, thanks for nothing, I guess. You once again tempt me to ditch this game for Rivals, but I shan't quit just yet.
