Add a new Ultron’s Assault Difficulty?

Atticus9090

Aside from the (not so great) classic difficulty rewards and the (best rewards in game of all time) Varient Difficulty...Do you think that there should be a middle of the road difficulty for the majority of MCOC players?

Sungj

No

Back issues were not supposed to be for middle of the road players. Midgame players have act 4, uncollected, act 5 completion, act 5 explorations, RTTL, monthly master, monthly uncollected, first clear of LOL, occasional celebrity events and side quests. There is so much for mid game players, the only thing that really exists for high end game players is 100% LOL and now variant difficulty. It balances out the progression path, if all content was designed for the middle of the road players there would be nothing for the ends of the spectrum. Of course it wouldn't hurt, more rewards for everybody but that isn't the purpose of the ultron quest.

No. It’s an end game content for end game players.

Mid tier players have their own content to clear, albeit not new.

Yes

Yes, mid tier players need something this event benefits beginners and high rating players and to the mid tiers this is a event not worth talking about. To those people saying 'get better' well some don't like grinding constantly unless it is worth it.

we have act 4 completion/exploration, uncollected, act 5 completion and LoL to work on. also if youre not going to put in the effort in grinding for things than you shouldnt even be playing the game, because thats all this game is.

Yes it wouldn’t hurt to cater to the middle tier players who don’t have all the time in the world to sit and spend 3 energy per tile on for exploration of Act 4 and 5. Many of us are way too busy irl to sit for hours doing that stuff. That is why a lot of us prefer Monthly EQs bc they’re quicker (bc energy cost is less and it has consistent overall decent rewards.

Just doesn’t make sense to me that there was no middle tier difficulty added for the throwback Ultron quest. What ever happened to the saying “All for one, and one for all”.

Then you also won’t have time to clear this event if there were one for mid tier players because it’s 3 energy per tile too.

Your argument holds no grounds.

Ultron’s Assult Variant Difficulty is NEW end game content riding on an old quest aimed at end game players. The classic difficulty is added for NOSTALGIA purposes and not meant to give any progress for anyone.

Mid tier players go and finish up the quests that you haven’t finished yet. Don’t be greedy and assume that every single new piece of content must be catered to you.

You do realize it's 3 energy per tile for Ultron's Assault also? Go do ROL, RTTL, and LOL if you want decent rewards for 1 energy per tile.

Also if you don't have time, too bad, that's your fault. The people who are clearing Ultron's Assault made time to clear all the other stuff first.

All who is saying no . We are not snatching rewards from you . You all are acting like that mid players will ruin this event quest. We also wanted to have a experience of the event.the play style of event. Experience of the nodes etc but on some pace level .
You all are just blabbing that mid players should clear the act4 act5 Lol rttl etc. It's not the you should set the parameters for us. And btw LOL is an endgame content. Even mid players aren't qualified at instant. But it doesn't mean that you'll just stop mid tier players to participate. We are not asking easy rewards. We all just wanted a fair shot at event. Like Uncollected difficulty or master or epic and rewards should be set accordingly. If some contents shows how childish is this that it should be only to some players . You got your won content to play and we'll get our own. There are many very skilled played who aren't Uncollected or finished rttl or act5 explorer but can really put up the challenge to the event itself.

It is a permanent event, if you aren't ready for it now, then yeah work your way up to it like everyone else had to and stop whining about it. Nobody is accusing you of stealing awards but permanent content is progression based, and it always has been, so go progress instead of wasting time complaining on the forums.

LeNoirFaineant

No

Act 3 was end game content at one point. So was act 4. Rosters expand and players progress and permanent content is added for the point at which the game is currently. It has to be hard enough that very few players will just blow past it as soon as it comes out. Existing content and the monthly quests are there to get players to where the end game content currently is. That's how the game is designed. The path to the end game is already there. Getting a good, active alliance that plays war and AQ with 3 bgs, running acts 1-5 and monthly quests, etc. will get you there. Adding permanent content for the place the game was 2 years ago that many players can autofight makes no sense. The variant level is for every player in the game. It just may not be for you yet.

Ive been playing this game for 3 years and I knew it was about grinding, so why would I try to 100% act 4 and every master and heroic quest I can, without knowing what grinding is? I'm also not saying that intermidate should be a walk in the park ever. I would expect the final boss in intermediate to be collector strong which would be easier to do instead of variant with rewards such as 4 star awakening gems, or rank up gems.

Act 4 has been nerfed. 5* and 6* champs are available to newer players in a way that they were never available to current end game players as they progressed. All the content that got the end game players to the end game is already available with better champs for newer players. Why do you need additional content that we didn't have on top of that? And how does it make sense to make new permanent content for previous stages of progression when that isn't how the game has been run at any point?

The_One

No

My rating is 695k, I have 4 4/55 champs, 3 6*s and the resources to get my first 5/65 but no champ worthy of those resources.
I have first clear of LoL done, completion of act 5 and UC EQ explored every month.
I could probably do this content IF I were willing to drop units on it but I'm not.

I don't consider myself a top player (some may disagree based on what I've already mentioned) and I agree completely that there should NOT be a middle tier for this content.

It is, and always was, designed for end game players that have everything else in the game 100%.

Disgruntled_User_123

While I think it’s pretty easy and logical to simply make an intermediate level of difficulty, I understand that some players may disagree. However, I’m shocked at the amount of vitriol that’s spewed in some of these responses. Take it easy guys, it’s just a question...

In most cases, kabam has released a form of side quest in addition to the regular EQ, y'know, like the panther trials. I think alot of people felt burned thinking this would be something like that and it wasn't.

I really don't understand people being so upset at the thought that they could include a mid tier difficulty that offers much smaller rewards. As far as classic mode, I don't even know why it's there, no one will play it and the nostalgia isn't worth the energy it costs to do it.

RagamugginGunner

No

ugh, just do everything that is still available to you. Why is it so hard for people to accept that some things are not made for them?

SilentKiss

No

I vote no. I can complete some of it , but not end game yet. Not to far off in my horizon. Still fact is, it's a goal to be reached.

-sixate-

No

No, if you can't beat it build a roster that can. I can do some, not all. The content isn't going anywhere so I'll chip away as my roster allows. I have no issue with that.

Swimmer15

Yes

Surprised so many no’s doesnt effect the whales, they will breeze through and grab easy rewards. Want to feel special i suppose, idk.. Rest easy guys we cant catch you.. for every 5* i pull you are grabbing multiple 5* and a 6*, when i grab a 6* your r5’ing another 5*.. More permanent content to gather resources to advance in game the better. Its hard to grow a roster without playing AQ 5x5 and higher tier war, but good luck doing either without a good/decent roster.

Demonzfyre

No

Mid tier players already have tons of content catered to them.

ManChild

No

Soooooo sick of this. Yes there is new content. Yes it sucks you can’t do it. Do you know how long I stared at rol and lol before I could complete those? I also helplessly stared at act 5 when it dropped. Just do what’s there. Stop asking for more.

K1lltastic

No

No.

This new content is permanent, and meant to be an extreme challenge. If you can't beat it yet (like I can't), wait, build your roster, GET BETTER, and tackle it.

Stop it with these redundant threads.

I’m genuinely curious. No offense to you, but how does one “make time to fully 100% LOL?

P.S: I have already 100% ROL and RTTL.

Austin555555

Yes

Yeah. It will help encourage middle players to do the quest and help give player to do something if they are already done with act 4, master, and already done with uncollected. And help players get a chance at champs who are needed for certain content.

Midknight007

Yes

Here is the kicker... all these no’s say it is end game content.

Answer this. Why have “Classic” which is obviously NOT end game content?

They sheer presence of “Classic” mode undermines the end game argument.
