Cav EQ Appreciation Post

JChanceH9

I genuinely had fun with the content, and it’s got me looking forward to *playing* the game each month- not just checking boxes to claim rewards. I wish the rewards were a little spicier, but I really think the difficulty is perfect. Thanks to the team that put it together.

KDSuperFlash10

Agreed. This is the best content in a long time (there has been a lot of banging content recently, like boss rushes and variant 5).

Same here. Good work Kabam

@KDSuperFlash10 I enjoyed the week 6 of Boss Rush as well. Solid content. Variant 5 was great as also. I haven’t gotten to check out treasure island yet, but hope it’s fun as well as rewarding.

I know there’s a lot going on. Just wanted to throw out a carrot in the midst of all the sticks.

I haven’t done the Omega boss rush yet because I’m less than 1k 6 star shards away from a 6 star crystal and that could affect my T5CC decision but from what I’ve seen, it looks so fun. Variant 5 was great as well. I did an initial completion run.

The thing I love about cav difficulty is the combination of both rewarding and punishing nodes. We’ve been begging for this for so long and Kabam knocked it out of the park. I had a blast playing the cosmic and science quests the most.

@KDSuperFlash10 thats a good point- one I hadn’t considered in my post. Buffing two classes per chapter encouraged us to use our whole roster, including champs we may consider C or D tier. We could still use the usual gang, too.

Yeah im loving the 4* challenge too because this is almost no block damage so i dont need to panic about my health like how act6 was before the nerf

SneakyWarrior

i feel like 3.1 in cav difficulty was made for omega. its a breeze with him.

Yeah. The 4* challenge was really fun.

I’ll probably use Colossus and Quake for most of it since I don’t have Omega.

Beast could be interesting with the bleed potency/duration reduction. 😋

Yea I even did the 4* challenges itemless, I really enjoyed the link nodes which were really nice giving your champions benefits.

quake will wreck that magik boss. im not upto her yet, still waiting on energy, but ive heard its pretty hard.

JChanceH9

@SneakyWarrior yeah, Quake worked well for her. I just played around with beast and it was meh, so I’ll just stick with the old reliables- colossus, Emma, iceman, Namor, and quake.

Agreed with cav monthly. A long time coming but it was definitely refreshing compared to monthlies before. Liked the whole new buff part of it as well as it adds new dimensions to old champs etc. That is how to best encourage ppl to use more of their roster rather than draining node combinations. Also thought the 4 star challenge was a brilliant idea to keep the top 1% of the skill players also invested (i dont have the skill yet i think to do all the quests with just 4s but appreciate the challenge and the ones who do). Overall thought you hit it out of the park.

I'm still UC but I don't get why everyone's so pressed about it. It seems perfectly fine and the 4 star challenge looks fun but challenging with high reward.

I thought it was perfect, and that deserves praise as there’s such a variety of players to cater to.

I really enjoyed the larger health pools so that we finally have a use for high special damage characters like Havok and Sunspot outside of story quest without it being ridiculous overkill.

Magneto is still overkill for metals

Yes, but it’s more satisfying seeing that much more percentage of health zeroed out.

I love this one. I really enjoyed making the nodes work and see some one like bp with 20 furies. Tech one was useless but the matches are still doable without using the nodes. Been a while since I enjoyed monthly eq. And it caters to everyone that says to easy with the 4* objectives. This one is a win in my books.

Just working ch3 explore now.

Yeah I agree the tech one is useless. It’s hopelessly hard to achieve.

Besides that, I think Kabam absolutely nailed Cavalier difficulty. Specific requirements that are not hard at all to achieve, and nodes that reward you if you perform certain actions, but are not unclearable roadblocks if you choose to not fulfill them.

Great job Kabam.

I guess it depends on your roster. 3.1 without Omega Red is MISERABLE. I'm here plugging away with 5/65 Colossus and Iceman on biohazard vs 250K health pools and the fights are 5 minutes plus EACH.

I personally want to see a reduction in the health pools. 3.1 is way too roster-specific. It's not like I can't do tough content, I've fully explored Abyss, and I swear I had a happier time doing that than doing this.

I’m not quite finished with exploration yet, only got one quest to go, but I’m really enjoying the content. Fights feel rewarding and engaging, retaining Challenge without being Act 6, and the 4* challenge allowed to use Quake ok serious content for the first time in years.

I still the think the rewards miss the mark. It feels like I receive a pittance at the end of exploring a chapter or quest, and path rewards aren’t super enticing.

If it had better rewards overall the content would be perfect. Of course, I wouldn’t mind it being slightly more challenging, as in, more 6.4 than 6.1 but it’s fine for what it is

I love the content. Please it should stay like this for coming months nice work kabaam.

Tech node wasn’t great, and without Omega I am finding it difficult to even make use of the Mutant node without taking severe damage or bypassing bleed altogether.

Hopefully they’ll keep playing around with cool new node ideas. I’d rather them try to be creative and miss a couple than just keep to the status quo and let the gameplay become stagnant.

Kabam has seemed receptive to changing stuff when most people have true issues with it, so it gives me hope that if anything is ever too over the top we could see some quick rebalancing.

If every month is like this Cav EQ, then I’m really looking forward to more.

Aside from my having to use Quake for Magik (I suck at inverted controls personally), I haven’t had too much of an issue with 3.1. There are a lot of good bleed immune champs that work fairly well- BWCV has been great.

The health pools are a little crazy, but I’m honestly happy they went higher on the health pools rather than jacking the attack values up. Seems to facilitate strategy (since you can’t just plow everything down with Corvus), and give people something engaging to do outside of arena and alliance events.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course, and I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’ve enjoyed it, though.

I finished my 4star run for the Cavalier difficulty and it was fun, my 4star roster isnt as developed as I’d like it to be but I was still able to tackle it since you aren’t heavily punished for not using the right class. I’d say the difficulty is on point and perfect, Good job Kabam team.
