Best Of

I think the best Nexus are the one with 2 options you hate and 1 option that is that one you looking for.

Really bad are 3 that you don't want

Rough / Tough is when you got 3 that you want but can only get one.

if you don’t mind using the equivalent amount of resources as you do in Everest content (more if you don’t have an expansive ranked up mutant roster) and you have 6 hours to waste… for slightly bumped EQ rewards.

Stripping away rewards (energy, etc) to redesigning quests, backloading rewards, huge health and attack rating defenders,EVERYTHING has turned into “we are tired of you managing resources without money invested.” So not only will Kabam hit you with sales all the time, to even play the game they want you paying.

EQ isn’t broken. Kabam is…. This game has lost so much since the 10th anniversary

Sorry, I didn't know the buffs not showing is game wide, but that is makes me feel worst about the game as whole…

I'm not even sure if it's worth playing the game anymore.

Good post.

The only way to get Kabam’s attention is through their bank account. Yet with all of the problems (too many to list or count) people still line up to spend while no resolutions are made to the countless bugs and issues affecting gameplay. Even one day after one of the WORST content changes in the history of the game, people can’t wait to spend on these sales. I don’t get it. The moderators are no where to be found until there’s an issue with their bankroll - only after the screwup with the web store did we see anyone from Kabam make any posts on here yesterday. I just can’t believe people still race to buy what Kabam is selling.

so far I’ve yet to really see people enjoy it. It feels over tuned rather than adapting to one’s roster.

Honestly, no. In my opinion, this is the biggest miss from Kabam in a long while. What I liked about this format when they first introduced it a couple of months ago, was that it forced me to not rely only on my top attackers. I really liked that. It made me really explore my own roster and even use some champs that I hadn't really ranked up, which was a ton of fun.

However, they've cranked up both the attack and health values of the defenders to such ridiculous amounts that it's not really viable to go in with r1 (and barely even r2) 7*s. There are some god-tier 6*s that you could use, but those are severely outmatched by those defender stat values as well. The problem with this is that a gauntlet of 15 fights where you can't use the same champion twice takes an enormous toll on your roster, especially since you need the champions you bring to have specific pieces of utility. For example, the attack values are so high in the mutant quest so that the usual 90% bleed potency reduction does basically nothing to shield you from any damage if you bring a champion that isn't bleed immune/resistant.

Case in point. While I'm a bit rusty playing with Kitty, this is nonetheless the type of node that she would normally be able to handle. But nah.

But even if the node doesn't screw you over, the health pools (up to around a million health in the later chapters) just makes everything a slog to get through. If you've got a perfect r3 champion to deal with a defender in a way that grants you the fury passives or whatever the nodes give you, of course you can take them down in a somewhat timely fashion. But if you're bringing in a lower-ranked champion who can't gain those benefits, suddenly you're looking at a huge challenge.

It's just the revive-hungriest EQ I've seen since I became Uncollected back in the day. Slip up once and it's bye-bye for you, because the attack ratings are insane. If you look at 9.2, the attack ratings there among the path defenders are around 10K. In Elder difficulty, every defender on every path has an attack rating around 24K.

And the rewards are…okay. I would be happy with them if I was required to put in an average EQ effort. But if I'm required to put in some kind of BS endgame-type effort, I really don't think they measure up.

So, no, I don't recommend anyone going for full completion. It might be worthwhile to try it out just so that you have some meat on your bones if you want to tell Kabam how much it sucks (that's why I eventually powered through it all), but that's about it.

don’t hold your breath if you’re really looking for someone at Kabam to explain why they do almost anything. The better question is why they switched to this new EQ format when most seemed fairly happy with how it was before. That question can be found all over the place but no response from anyone at Kabam.
