Thoughts on new AW nodes?

RoronoaZoro_96

With season 19 around the corner, the release of these new nodes have most of the community with strong opinions. Personally, I run path 5 in tier 3 and mixing the node with pain defenders has made this war unenjoyable. I really hope kabam strongly considers looking into making AW fun and competitive instead of making it hell for attackers.

the goal it seems is to force players to use as many items as possible and thus as many units as possible. so that is why you often get this imbalance between what's a practical and reasonable difficulty with what is absurd like what we got.

i've always said that i love a challenge .. i love a difficult fight but when you just start tossing things at players that require a very specific champ or place them in a situation that they start at a huge disadvantage, it rips the fun out of it. and then there are nodes that toss incinerate and poison at you but oh wait if you purify or nullify those you degen. so as a player, there's nothing i can essentially do to play a perfect match. i'm already losing before i even begin.

and that's what i'm seeing and hearing not just from the community at large but from my own alliance. they hate it. they hated Flow and to see that continue was bad and now these "new" combination of nodes in Season 19 .. just smh.

Best solution is if everyone just stops fighting in AW right now. Like just says “this isn’t worth even finishing”

I don’t run AW so it doesn’t affect me

I’m just don’t run alliances any more honestly the game becomes a lot more fun to me at least without a alliance

I acknowledge my self as a skilled player. good at intercepting, Quake and shake, ghost etc. After trying the ebb and flow node on my new account on tier 6 AW for gold 2-3 maybe. IMHO, this is a nightmare for them who will get for that such a joke season reward. I just fougt a Nick Fury on ebb and flow intercept node. and here my review:

1. Longer fight: I use a mutant (domino) to be able to manage his tactical charge, it takes 2:30 minutes. the timer for tier 6 is 3 minutes. (I intercept him around 7-8 times).
2. NF did not degenerate his health while on 2nd phase because of protection (the ebb and flow intercept node)
3. You cant refresh the precision buff which you got from intercepting defender.
4. The timer of precision buff only enough for 5 combos, after that you need to intercept again. remember you also need to manage defender power. because intercepting while the opponent has at least 1 bar power will send your champs to oblivion.
5. It really needs a very skilled full player to deal with this node. My ally ?? most of them are average players at tier 6. and KABAM put this node there !!!. I don't know if rhino, thor, or nova was there.
6. please KABAM, IMHO, there is no problem with this node on high tier war... it's the consequence of the end game player. and it's a good challenge. but put this kind of node on tier 5-6 ?? wooowww.. no one will play AW again seriously.

The fact that nobody is voting on 'Love them' just emphasizes how garbage the new nodes are.

This new node design totally force me to into thinking of either quiting AW or the game entirely. If one alliance dont have a wide rage of champs to fight, then basically u die again and again, which ups end using loads of resources if you still wanna clear the boss. Worth it? Definitely NO!

We placed Nova at this node. Then the opponent gave up exploration and called three players to clear this node....

You guess what, Nova got 8 wins with 40% HP left!

No way.....literally a bugged node😂😂😂

and kabam put this node on tier 5-6 AW. so much alliances with average player at there. previously aegis intercept only on expert map. Now this average player try really hard

I can literally picture Kabam developers sitting in a brain storm session and rolling on the floor with laughter as they came up with some of these node ideas and combinations. Dev 1 “How about Tunnel Vision and Aggressive Fury?” Dev 2 “Yeah, yeah and add Oscilllate!” ROFLMFAO!

Kabam, prove to us that you listen to your customers. Fix AW now.

Lol I am in tier 6 and I faced a Hyperion on the somewhat stun immune node with unstoppable every 10 secs. The only way for me to do damage in that fight is to a) bait a heavy b) intercept c) bait specials d)wait for stun immune timer to go off at which point it overlaps with unstoppable. But here is the gigantic whopper, the AI I got was chilling in block, threw two specials the entire fight and was gaining power the entire fight on top of going unstoppable every 10 secs. So I need a champ that a) power controls b) applies slow debuffs c)easy to intercept with and d) willing AI. How do such specific nodes promote counterplay?

Kabam, remember that your players hold the power of the purse. I’m taking a hard pass on the July 4th offers this year.

Playing the new map and nodes. If this is called improvement then i hope they dont do anything about the alliance quest. This type of war is only an improvement for kabam to make sure players have to spent more items and so buy more credits to keep up.

4* champs have the power of 5* champs in tier 5. This wont be a fun season if they start it this way.

The old was way better then this map in tier 5. Hope hey wont start season 19 with this set up then the war is ruined for me. The map itself looks fine the nodes however are crazy.

So many stupid nodes Falter node.. lane 9 Tile 35 (Unstoppable + almost Stun immune). This is getting pathetic...


Guys quit war and revolt. If we all don't unite now.. these guys will keep making game for bug whales and keep ignoring us.
