    Everyone should protest this! You can’t use 4* in Act 6. This is wrong! What if you don’t have a lot of five stars, or you need synergies with three or four stars. I’m done with this game. Stupid!

    Is this your game? Nope... They can do what they want.

    why do we have this discussion thread here and in talking bout it in the main thread?
    it makes it hard to follow.
    we should have this discussion all in one place

    It's very simple if you don't have a good roster your not ready for act 6

    True by default. I have a good roster and will be fine but it ought to be about skill. I'm liking this move less and less.
    True skill is measured by what you can do with less. So o see both ways here 4 stars being fine and removal of synergies people grew to rely on.
    Either way I'm all for forcing people to.change how they play
    But they've made it a point to make characters terse who need synergies and having characters who instead of revamping them just made them better with a certain synergy so this just seems like its countering everything that they've been setting up so far.

    No, they didn't guarantee you would be using 4*s in Act 6 by introducing Synergies. Somehow, people made that long-drawn connection because they don't like the news.

    Uhh no champ NEEDS their synergy its a bonus.
    I'll give one example... antman
    he doesnt need it.
    they are not timed fights.
    without it he sucks and may take 500 hits compared to 150 with it but he doesnt need it.

    While I agree that it sucks that act 6 chapter 1 does not allow 4* champs, therefore ruining slot of synergy teams, in their defense kabam never said all of act 6 would have the same restriction, so we shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet.

    Every Champ is a standalone. No Champ NEEDS their Synergy. They're enhanced by them, but they work just fine without them.

    Needs have prerequisites; MODOK needs Abomination in order to reliably regenerate health.
    Umm no? Just don’t use suicides.

    Its being done to stop people from just using 1 strong champion and boosting them to **** with synergies.
    Ghost, Corvus, Aegon, Blade. As even in wars you see people bring a 5/65 ghost with 3* wasp and Hood just fornl synergies.

    Guess its a git gud scenario

    But if you're gud.. you're probably able to clear with 4*.. but guess not anymore lol

    What damage control? This community is so hypocritical. They complain about getting 4*'s at a "high" level and dont need them any more. Then all the sudden new content comes out where you cant use them and people go bananas. Ya'll need to grow up.

    There’s a big difference between not having synergy because you lack a certain champion and it being impossible to acquire that champion in the first place. Ala Abomination’s vital synergy with MODOK.

    Well then that means you can't use the MODOK Synergy. There are enough Champs in the game.

    Awesome, let me just pull out some more money to whale out on crystals and get the 5* champs that i need ONLY for act 6 and am ok with as 4* if they havnt banned that. At the end, Kabam is saying, spend $$ on FGMC for more 5* or be playing this game for 2+ year and have a huge roster so that they can create a wider gap between mid-tier and end game players

    dont spend anything.
    but yeah act 6 is end game content at this point.
    it is not designed for a a noob.
    it is designed to cater to the players who have been playing for some time and built up a decent roster.

    in time you will get there too.

    RIP to those that wanted to do an Act 6.1 Legend Run with 4* as synergy.

    I agree with you my friend, I open 4* crystals and complain abotu getting 4*. I am a hypocrite and everyone should acknowledge that. Great argument, im glad you are using your time so wisely

    Imagine a person coming in with money in their pocket and 4 stars sweeping act 6 then purchasing cavilier crystals and buying the game?!! I believe this was there intent to keep people from buying the game... It's takes a 1+ year to get enough 5 and 6 stars to do act 6, put the time in like everyone else!
  • TKS87TKS87 Member Posts: 375 ★★★
    Players when champion requirements don't effect their roster: 'This is great! I love how kabam is making people use different champs! Anyone complaining needs to learn to use different champs!'

    Players when champion requirements do effect their roster: 'This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE how am I supposed to play now?!?!'.

    I don't mean to attack anyone here. I'm pretty set for 5* and 6* champions and even have some good synergy setups with them, so it's easy for me to brush it off and judge.

    Lots of people do seem to be upset about this one though, and I can understand why. It does seem a little odd for kabam to say, 'this is some of the most challenging content to date' and yet not let people maneuver through it via skill and/or synergies. This limits options quite a bit. It's especially amusing that these new cavalier crystals offer increased odds at a 4 star champ... That we can't even use in the content we need to complete to get these crystals! Lol.

    I don't think they're going to change for 6.1, but hopefully they listen to the player base and make changes for future chapters.

    It prevents whining of I have maxed 4 stars and this is too hard wah wah wah.
    I do content with 3* KT1 does content with 4* people who lack skill whine, people who dont have solid argument waste time
  • Mike12867Mike12867 Member Posts: 477 ★★★
    People who have huge rosters are just saying 'git gud' 'endgame' and all that BS but not putting out reasonable arguments
  • ChampioncriticChampioncritic Member Posts: 3,347 ★★★★
    Even those that are at the level of higher content may not necesarily have the 5* version of the champ they need to activate synergies.
  • MaciekpakuMaciekpaku Member Posts: 26 ★
    To be honest, it's something i was expecting. And also prefering over class requirements for certain paths/ quests. I understand that many of us dont have all needed 5*/6* for synergies but that's the challenge to be able do some parts of the game with not only limited resources but also some kind of restrictions for champions you'll bring.
    The newest content in the most rewarding part is for those who invested the most time/money etc. Others with lower amount of these thing must adapt over time which is also fine because we have time for preparations. We dont have to finish it right after release, it will be there :) just enjoy the game in your own pace, dont try to be equal to the whales and all end game players (for whom those requirements are not a problem).
  • concepcion29concepcion29 Member Posts: 42 ★
    I dont agree with Kabam decision to have ONLY 5&6 stars for Act 6. Although 4 stars are slowly becoming irrelevant for end game players or people who have been playing the game for years, 4 stars still have their place in the game; whether it’s for certain synergies or because you don’t have them as a 5/6 star. I think this restriction is going to hurt a lot of players who have the skill to beat end game content but have terrible luck with their crystals pulls or don’t spend as much as others.

    I was able to 100% Act 5 awhile back with the help of some 4 star champions and while I do not use them outside of aq/aw, I will occasionally need them for specific match ups as I still have not been able to pull them.

    I feel the most disrespectful thing Kabam has done leading up to this was have decent/good deals for 4* awakening gems, crystals, and sig level crystals for sale. People ate up those deals to use them on champions which they thought would help them in Act 6 or future content.

    I know the game is trying to grow and push towards 5 and 6* being the champs to use but I don’t think it’s the right thing to do at the moment when great 6* are still relatively difficult to dupe.
