I still don't understand why they dropped the energy refills we get a week to zero. I get lowering them if the removal of lower eq is the reasoning but then drop them from 6 a week to 3. To go to 0 a week just seems like a push for us to spend units on refills or the buy to daily energy card. I'd love to hear the reasoning why zero a week and 1 a month (from the calender) is now deemed an acceptable return. @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex @KabamPinwheel @Kabam Crashed

As for the response from Kabam - appreciate the communications and hearing the player base as it comes to EQ and the new setup. As a Valiant FTP I enjoy monthly EQ so much. It’s fun, helps with stocking up on mats, shards, gold and sig stones. It’s a. The past few months have been a great tune up imo. I don’t mind the champion swap and class restrictions that much- I manage to clear the content and it’s enjoyable for me.

With that being said as someone who loves EQ - this change is probably the worst update I’ve seen in a long time and I’ve been here for 10+ years. As others mentioned it’’s a drain on time, resources, and chase. I just cleared the normal mode and got a premium hero crystal and some t2cc. I don’t know how cav, or TB players will even fair with those health pools in normal mode also. Crazy. The Elder difficulty is horrible. Bleed nodes, stupid high health pools and attack ratings. This will be the first month in 6 years I haven’t finished/explored EQ. I can’t afford the revives or energy let alone use a mutant roster that is 80% not immune to bleed and poison DOT. Blade’s chip damage was nuts on my bleed immune 7* R3 Dust. 7* R1’s and below melt 50 seconds in to each fight.

All of this to say- thanks for the response but we are day 2 into a new month of EQ. If I’m reading this correct- there won’t be any re-tunes, or updates until next month? That’s crazy. I’ve stayed in game for every shenanigan, outrage, scandal, compensation or even lack thereof. I think I’ve posted to forums like 5 times over the life of my account. As a FTP player I have a high tolerance for grinding through and also pretty low expectations as to what this game provides an account like mine. But this is one of the wildest negative impact an update has had on my game play / account. I’m progressing through all the act 9 content, clearing all daily/monthly challenges, battle grounds etc but new EQ has always been the highlight of the month especially in the days where I was just grinding to try and become uncollected, Cav, TB with the slowest rank up materials acquisition ever.

Is there a way where this can be resolved in some form or level of playability for the month until the issues get sorted? I genuinely can’t believe the EQ rewards given to Cav, TB, Paragon, or Valiant for the energy spent to progress to elder. Literally the first total net-negative in EQ I’ve ever had playing EQ. One month till resolve is honestly just bad customer service, PR, and IT.

I also echo the sentiment as everyone else when it comes to prestige, the changes, and that it’s all tied to EQ progression/rewards? Why was any of this green lighted? Someone or multiple people HAD to know this was going to be horrible and either they were pushed back on or someone in the top offices has shown again that they don’t care at all about the customer base until it affects their revenue. There’s 100000 lessons Kabam has had the opportunity to learn from in the last 10 years from Kabam Mike scolding everyone one forums, to silent nerfs, and hundreds of other ways the loyal base has been slighted and ignored over the years. I don’t love losing 5k prestige but I can deal with it, we’ll see how the change works but tying that to EQ and rewards and just changing so much of the game in one update shows how out of touch the company is with the players.

@OldManHop Realest comment out here. The answer would be no… but i’m pretty sure the only reason most of us stick around is because of all the time and effort we’ve put into this game in the first place. We are waiting for a satisfying payoff before leaving the game but it’s never coming 😬

It seems like Adaptive refers to players adapting to the difficulty, not the difficulty adapting to the players LOL

I usually get so excited for EQ but this month I couldn’t even bring myself to click it again. Biohazard on a grey hulk? That btw is TWICE the PI of my best hero? 10 times?????? Either they stopped caring or they’re just tone deaf

All I ask is one week without lolcow behavior...

Just one.

You used 20 revs in EQ,.and you think its fine.... Ok...

Stick to speaking your native language. English isn't for you Lil bro

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.
