Best Of

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.

The first valiant eq was great. I have a splendid idea keep your extra rewards and give us back what we liked. You are myrdering the fun in this game with all of your changes.

I have a 30k prestige account (with the new stupid money grab top 30) I am on the bigger side of accounts and I spend on the sales. I can finish this content, it will still be painful but doable. It took over two hours to get through “normal.” I tried a little of the elder difficulty and even with my roster the mutant bleed node is so punishing. If it’s not bleed immune or onslaught you are losing health with a few bleeds on you.

you want us to spend on health potions and revives even though you haven’t adjusted the values of health potions to better reflect the r4 7* health pools?

finally I think about the rest of my alliance who is anywhere from 24-27k prestige. A lot of them are incredibly skilled players and could do this content no problem, but the roster requirements of switching every fight and no healing is so painful for smaller accounts.

I am not participating. I wish the streaming community would hold Kabam to the fire. I can’t see a better time to boycott then now. The sales, the quality of the game is horrendous, and all these secret money grab changes to content and prestige are just gross. Kabam this is shamelessly gross. How can you expect content sales to work when the game is in a terrible state… not even your sale worked, we even got the spinning wheel of death there. I’m disheartened and disappointed by everything over the last two months.

I wasn’t aware it was starting today. That said, couldn't they have put everything into ONE quest (apothecary, catalysts, etc)?? That would have been a real pro player move .

It'd be a little bit easier now that prestige is all that matters with Spidey in the top 30.
