Act 6 Compensation

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit @Kabam Vydious @Kabam Porthos @Kabam Lyra

Just wanted to check in and see if there was any timeframe regarding the Act 6 compensation for summoners that completed content prior to the nerf? I know you have a lot going right now but just curious as you said we would hear more but nothing has come about from it yet. Thank you.

did you even read the information in the news section first?

did you even read the information in the news section first?

Are you referencing that it would be done once all changes have taken effect? If so yes. Maybe I should have asked what the other phases and changes that will take place since those seemingly enough haven’t been stated yet either. I’m just curious what’s the overall game-plan or trajectory of when things might be completed.

They stated in that very same thread that they still have to at least reduce attack values and maybe pain points, and they anticipate it being done before December. That post should have answered all your questions.

Or you could have done a forum search and looked at the other 500 threads on this.

I guess I missed that part. I looked back through it multiple times plus the road map and everything else I could find from admin but didn't see anything about December or any other future dates. Thanks though.

ACT 6
KABAM WELKER – QUEST DESIGNER
Hello folks! Kabam Welker here with an update on design and direction for Act 6.

Act 6 is an immense piece of Story Content, but we acknowledge that there are some serious pain points inside of it that need to be addressed and corrected. While some changes will require deeper investigation, there are others that we are confident about going ahead with.

UPDATING THE CHAMPION BOSS FIGHT
The Champion was intended to be a fierce and demanding skill check for players and their rosters, fitting for late and end game content. We know he can still deliver on that intent without being as hard of a gut-check, so we’ll be rolling out some updates to his encounter.

Damage taken from Nullify in the “Main Event Phase” will be reduced from 10% to 2%.
Block Penetration for The Champion will be reduced by 50%.
The Dexterity requirements in his Final Phase will be reduced from 5 to 3.
Removing the “No Retreat!” Buff Node.
REDUCING ATTACK VALUES ACROSS THE ENTIRE ACT
Attack Values for opponents is something we’re committed to focusing more on with every new piece of content we’re developing. We’re going back into Act 6 and re-tuning encounters to bring their Attack Values more in line in comparison to Abyss of Legends and The Grandmaster Boss in Act 6 Chapter 4.

Attack values for path Encounters in Act 6 Chapter 4 will be reduced by 40-60%, dropping them from 15K on average to closer to around 5K-9K on average, with some even lower. Path fights in 6.3, 6.2, and 6.1 will be scaled down from that top value accordingly.
Attack values for Final bosses in Act 6 Chapter 4 (excluding The Grandmaster) will be scaled down by 60-75%, dropping them from 22K on average to 6.5K-10K on average. Final Bosses in 6.3, 6.2, and 6.1 will be scaled down from that top value accordingly.
REVISIT “PAIN POINT” BOSS FIGHTS AND PATH FIGHTS
It’s clear to see that there are Boss Fights and Path Fights implemented in Act 6 that are far too demanding and niche for the majority of players to engage with. We will be reviewing each Chapter in Act 6 and taking aim at the most egregious encounters and re-tuning their buff profiles to broaden options for viable counters, or simplifying their requirements by stripping out unfair buff nodes.

We’d like to hear from you, our players, on what your Act 6 Pain Points with certain bosses were. We have some of our own plans and targets in the works, but they’re still early on and we don’t want to limit the possibilities by talking specifics just yet.

We’re going to set up a player focus group with a selection of 20-30 Summoners from across The Battlerealm, and work with them to do some discovery surrounding what made some of the more troubling fights problematic.

Take a look at our forums to find out how you can get involved! You can also give us your feedback about Act 6 and the Boss fights in our Forums

WHEN AND HOW
We hope this all sounds like a positive step forward, but the burning questions will be: “When are these changes coming and what if I’ve already completed Act 6?”

For us, Book 2 is an important event for MCoC and we want as many of you as possible to experience it. That’s why our goal is to bring some if not all of these changes to the game before the launch of Book 2. Read on to find out when!

As for those that have recently completed Act 6, we are exploring the options for compensation. We are discussing how we want to manage Quest compensation into the future, especially for top tier content.

@Lormif Got it thank you! I didn't see the part about Book 2 potential drop date in December. That helps with a timeframe. Thanks again!
