The Maze - Another perspective

The maze is actually a great addition to the game. It’s very high difficulty content for those that want that type of things and it makes for some good content for the youtubers, while at the same time offering rewards that won’t hurt the average player to miss out on.

I think this is win win. The difficulty chasers get their fix without progressing in leaps and bounds beyond the rest of us.

    Agreed, I'm using it to see how far I can get without resources. Practice for Korg, Killmonger and Heimdall also is really going to help my AW death count.

    I have an okay roster with 1 r5 and a couple r4s and 3 6*s. I may be able to do this 100% but not without blowing resources on rewards that won't really help me THAT much. I enjoy the challenge but won't be crying in 19 days if I havent done anything with it.

    If this was Kabam intent for the content then it can work but they should basically have just outright said that instead of always lurking in the shadows. Say something like this is only intended to be hard content for endgame players to challenge yourselves and the rewards are tuned down as a result.

    The way it has been rolled out what I don’t like about it is it sets a precedent that rewards and difficulty don’t need to be directly linked which is not typical for this game. It will make it really hard to know what to expect for content going forward and changes the valuation of items in the game from rank up materials to pots with no clear reason why and no changes in monetary value of those items.

    “End game” content deserves “end game” rewards. Juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

    I can’t for the life of me understand how this is worth it without any t5b frags. I have zero problem with the difficulty of the content but why would anyone want to “invest” in this when the rewards don’t even amount to a 4/55 rank up or full feature crystal. Anyone able to do this for a reasonable price has a super elite roster and the rewards don’t constitute anything meaningful.

    If you have literally no content to run in the game and a decent amount of inventory items I could see doing it for the hell of it. I've got 2 LOL paths left and some variant exploration so I'd need better rewards to do it.

    I'm fine with the Maze. I think they missed the mark if the goal was to make money off the event. I've completed all the content in the game except for a few paths in variant. I won't be doing the Maze because I don't think the rewards are worth the time, effort, or resources. But I also can't be too upset because even those who do choose to run through it won't have a significant advantage over me in terms of progression.

    I don't know, I think that's a pretty poor way to design content....make it difficult but hand out shabby rewards so that people can be challenged but those who can't do it won't miss out on the reward. In my opinion, most that can finish this don't want to be stiffed out on rewards. Again, just me here, but I want rewards that are in line with effort involved.
