Act 6.2 Rarity Gates the beginning of the end for non whale spenders and/or not 7/24 on MCOC?

YouTubers who have reacted to the Act 6.2 Rarity Gates announcement mentioned that certain parts of Act 6.2 will require at least 4 x 6*s. What if: a. You don't have 4 x 6*s, or if you do, b. Your 6*s are garbage champs like mine?

I believe that Kabam should consider having one path on each segment of Act 6 that can be completed with 5*s of our choice. To impose such incredibly unreasonable requirements to even enter certain segments of the path is going to be the end of this game for those of us who don't spend thousands of dollars a month and/or spend 24/7 on this game.

But then again, perhaps that IS the direction that the game development team is taking. After all, why should they even think about the rest of us who aren't part of the 80% of their revenue, right?

If my understanding is correct, there will be paths that don’t require you to have that many 6*s. The paths that have the gates will just be the easier paths.

Jeez read the announcement...
6* champ gates are one lane per level, there are 10 lanes per level. 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 the one lane with be the 4x 6* champs. Still allows you to bring 5* champs but have to bring 4 6* as well....

One YouTuber has 24 6*s (KT1) and even he is worried.

Have you not read the announcement? Only 6 paths out of the entire 6.2 requires 6*'s and only 1 path requires 4. If you read the thread there are several act 6 beta testera saying those paths are easy. Not only that, you can bring any 5* of your choice as long as you have the required number of 6*'s. Why do you insist on spreading false info and trying to start something because you aren't smart enough to read? Since you cant read-

So when will you be playing 6.2?

So when will you be playing 6.2?

At my rate of progress? (ie zero 6*'s currently, with only 195 6* shards) .. I hope to have a 6* sometime before 2025 ... and possibly ready for those quests before 2060 ... O.o

6.3 may introduce 6* and class gates combined at this rate. I have 23 6* right now, so I am not impacted. But it seems like the gates are going to get worse. I really feel for F2P players

How about the rewards? And which title they coin for it considering that they have given cavaliers title from 6.1 already?

Wait for the announcement proper. Will all be there. Since expected release date is mid June, it should be out in 1, latest 2, weeks.

Tehsigzorz

The scary part is that this is only 6.2
What will happen in 6.4? You can only enter using 3 or more 6 stars?
Is this how future content will be like?
Can I not even participate in content if I spend hundreds instead of thousands?

ChriissR

If you do not have more then five 6*s by now then you probably aren't ready to 100% 6.2 anyway.

It's literally 1 path per quest with 6* requirements. Read the announcements properly, you can still get an initial completion.

I like to wait for the content to be released before deciding whether to complain lol

Demonzfyre

It’s still money grab policy because you can’t bring your best champs anyway and you certainly have to spend units to either rank up your useless 6* or to buy revives.

We know Kabam. They are scrimped and greedy.

You don't know that yet. People were saying 6.1 was a money grab and then the content was released and poof it wasn't. Wait for it to come out first so you don't look foolish saying stuff like this.

raffster

I'm not a fan of gating content, mostly the elimination of 4* I find off putting, but this isn't nearly the roadblock it seems to be. I say this as someone who won't have ready teams for some of these gated paths, but the fact is someone who is held back from exploration by the gated paths will most likely be held back by the content difficulty already. I expect the number of players who have all of 6.2 100% aside from these gated paths will be an incredibly small. The biggest impact speaking practically will be on those making legends runs having to burn inventory on a path or two that happens to exploit a specific weakness in their roster.

This is exactly my deepest sentiment about these future gates. It's starting to look like that 2020 and beyond those who will be able to 100% Act 6.2+ content are those with the fattest wallets or those who live on MCOC.

5*s should be able to carry us through until whenever this game fades off into history.

Fattest wallets? No. Strongest Accounts? Yes. That's how things usually work. Money is not mandatory. Hard work over time will also suffice. All spending does is speed up the process. People who don't have the patience to wait might spend themsleves into oblivion. It's also possibile to put in the time and effort and finish it later. It is permanent, after all. Just because someone on YouTube says it's all about the money doesn't make it the sole purpose of these things.

I don't represent Kabam. That's about as old as my time here. They "forced" people not to use 4*s to act as a progress gate. That keeps the level of challenge where they intended it, and the Rewards where they wouldn't throw off the entire balance of the Reward structure. Unless you think it's a good idea for people to jump from 4*s to 6*s and bypass a whole lot of steps and growth along the way. Personally, I think that's irresponsible balancing. So it was a good idea.
They're not banning 5*s. Some Paths require 2, 3, or 4 6*s to complete, and people will be able to do about half without. To be perfectly honest, you should have at least that by that stage in the game.
To answer your question, you wait until you're equipped. Just like anyone else who's not ready yet.

GroundedWisdom

Unless you think there's some kind of urgency that requires you to finish it the day it comes out. It's not going anywhere.

Filtered 4* is not money grab policy? I understand which side do you take but your opinion is naive.

God what an ignorant statement. You cant just buy 5* champs. Theres no rule saying go out and buy tons of crystals to get champs you need. Build your roster and then do act 6. Not a money grab. I made a run through act 6 and I didn't have many of the top champs needed for it like others have. I did just fine.

WOW, such a political correct post. Kabam should be proud of you. From my view, they are clever in term of business. First they forced people NOT to use 4* and second they forced people NOT to use their 5*. Very clever in term of business. Hard work over time, yeah, very political correct but what will happen if RNG doesn’t side with you but Kabam? How many months or years are you willing to wait until you are strong enough?

My god do you read anything and are able to comprehend anything? Even on the 6* gate you can still have 1 5* along with the 6*'s and even fight with that 5*.

You realize 1 whole chapter of act 5 had class gates that reduced attack by 50% rendering many champs less useful. We got through it then and we'll get through it again.

Why do you have forced in quotations?

Worknprogress

If you don't have the champs, you aren't ready for the content yet. It's pretty simple really. They can't just keep adding more health and attack to champs to end game content to make it more difficult. This is a different direction to increase the challenge without necessarily having to have LoL level champs to fight against.

Dshu

Wow people actually trying to debate with the kabam I love you long time squad. When will people learn that no matter what you say they will continue to glorify the name of kabam. The gates are going to restrict progress plain and simple if you aren't a whale or willing to become one you will have to wait patiently for your roster to grow. The new direction the game is taking is spend to continue to progress or enjoy the monthly eq and hope the game doesn't become stale. Kabam promised more access to 5 and 6* shards and they delivered in the form of cavalier crystals. You don't want to spend on them? I guess you aren't ready for the new content. Yep balance at it's best here and a great way to judge a players skills on if they can enter their cc into into the game correctly
