Feedback on Alliance Coliseum so far

I think almost everyone agrees that leveling the podiums sucks lol...which Kabam is not surprised by.. hence selling a way to bypass the process that they know is super grindy and annoying

I understand the need for monetization, of course.. but we've replaced AQ with a mode that is actually more annoying:)

My thought is this:

In order to monetize the mode, crank up the Rank Rewards, but make it so you do need to spend money, get super sweaty or some combination of both for those who do want to push the mode

But! For the players who just want to grind the milestones and not really fussed about rankings.. it needs to be wayyyy less of a slog imo
Reduce greatly or even remove the podium leveling grind and replace it with a different concept.. yes, good performance in the fights should be rewarded with a faster advancement through the milestones, but as it stands it's a slog regardless of how well you perform (and the 8 bar cap is.. why? Just to show us that performance alone will not allow us to succeed in this mode?)

Tldr.. monetize the mode a different way that doesn't punish folks who just want to play through it on a normal level (not push rank competitively)

Re: R4 Nico or R3 Kushala

Do you play bg's? Because if you play bg's having 2 amazing cosmic counters at r3 is better than 1 at r4 and the other at r2.

Re: Arcade is just stupid

@HerizonHaze i totally agreed with you we play mobile games for fun not to frustrate yourself. It's okay to put in effort to get content done sometimes, but now almost every piece of content they release is frustrating to play and takes away the fun of playing the game.

They don't need to find a middle ground, the middle ground is Classic difficulty.

Problem is we asked for a newer difficulty with more suitable rewards. The moment people see the rewards and find it too difficult they start complaining as if they are entitled the better rewards. If people can't finish it, spend some revives, spend some units instead of kicking and screaming about unfairness. Kabam should not be designing a game to be so easy everyone gets everything and then gets to save all the resources. Its freaking stupid.

Re: Arcade is just stupid

I genuinely didn't enjoy fighting Arcade. Much like I didn't enjoy most of the Eternity/Summer of Pain bosses.

But I like a challenge. And, it wasn't an unfair fight; which it probably would have been if he was also Awakened.

And did he have a Special bias node? I definitely didn't observe him having any kind of Special bias - I got plenty of practice dodging both SP1 and SP2. I went in with no idea how to dodge his #2, and got pretty good at it by the end of three days

I totally agree with @Ercarret about there being too much grind in this one Coliseum, let alone there being two simultaneously. but still, it's been an investment of time that's going to mean Arcade is a dramatically reduced threat for me, going forwards.

My feedback, for what it's worth:

Make sure that the tags actually include reasonable champion options, please.

Cut the grind required for ranking podiums somewhat. I recognise why it's there; but even 20-30% less would be great.

Having both Coliseums simultaneously again is just excessively punishing. Or if they must overlap, stretch the solo Coliseum to five days.
