The death of interesting side quests....

smy168

Maybe it's just me but these side quests have just been terrible, this is the worse Lunar New Years event ever and honestly, rewards have been half ass at best.

I get the need to make a profit, I don't fault them for that but they either go incredibly over challenging or nonsensical simplified, can a company generating millions a year at the very least find that middle ground?

I haven't wasted an iota of effort for the side quests, almost easier to just log in and log out when the main quests are done and let's not even get into the Arenas...if it wasn't for years playing the game and a pretty cool alliance, this would be slowly heading into the dust bins...

Just my 2 cents...

Lunar Event has been the same for a few years now. I get that it's just in addition to the normal sq and the units are nice, but it's just a slog and boring to run through for little rewards.

The last good side event was mutant treasure island, if it worked as originally intended it would have been sensational. They have been lacking recently

Dude the SQ is cake plus only 6 paths in total for legendary.

I'm just not interested, difficulty isn't the issue...just boring these days.

It still much better than last month, i don't wanna farm 30+ quest with 10 champs in it

Texas_11

Yeah; I kinda agree. I’m going to be skipping it. But , it’s not terrible for free.

Kabam will never be able to win when it comes to fun content. Book 2- Too easy. Act 6- Too hard. Side Quests- too easy/hard/rewards never good enough for the difficulty. It's a never ending cycle. If it's not the difficulty it's the rewards, if it's neither of those it's who can access it. Kabam is completely handcuffed because no matter what they do, it's just constant complaints because content isn't designed to one persons specific needs.

It was even said in the forum post before the event was released that it would be beginner friendly so I don’t know what you were expecting.

That was boring as hell. Lol.

The best side event so far was Mephisto’s Hell Invasion. The paths are pretty fun but everyone was crying how hard it was.

Am I the only one who actually enjoys playing this game? All I see are people complaining about everything. Too easy, too hard. Too much content, too little content. Worst month ever. Worst side quest ever. I guarantee we will see the same type of posts pop up next month and the following month as well. Just delete the game if you’re not having fun.

I'm actually enjoying the side quest this month. But not for the fights, for the rewards. I think something like Red Rooms or Treasure Island had much more enjoyable fights, while still having the same good rewards.

I understand your sentiments, but there are thousands of lower level players that these side quests are great for.

Many moons ago you might have been that summoner, wanting to finally complete your first side quest, or get some rewards that can help you rank up a 3 or 4 star.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a kabam apologist, I just think they are doing their best to try to please a large gap of people. Some months the mark is lower so newer players can commit to the game, some months the bar is higher so end gamers can do whatever it is they do as endgamers.

Then sometimes it’s just right for the mid-tier.

We’ve got story quest, monthly event quest, a side quest, and a side side quest...and none of that has been at least halfway entertaining????

No, because is it different to anything we’d seen before. The bugs and execution were a let down but the theory in how it should have played out was great.

The rewards were really good yes, but even if they were a step or two below that I think it was a refreshing concept.

I also don’t think anything will top my little Symbiote though, that’s my all time favorite.

I agree that it’s boring. I’d also rather get 5* and 6* shards than cavs. It guarantees that you’ll get to open what you want eventually. The cavs are a big gamble that most of the time don’t work out.

This really depends on where you are in the game, my alt appreciates this event a lot more than the main, just because of the massive influx of iso it's provided. My main doesn't need the iso at all.

I'm just venting a little, agreed that this would be a solid side quest for beginners, I've been on the game since it started and my alt for the last 3 years...

I think a lot of us that have been on for 6 years get to vent a little "game fatigue"...

Either way, enjoy yourselves and be safe out there.

I'm just hoping that we can have the auto-complete function expand to include various extremely easy quests (like the Lunar one). No reason to make people manually have to one-tap every enemy.
