AQ (Map 7) changes mostly great but....

This is NOT a good change. Many alliances did boss rush method to get the 10% t5cc... this will drastically impact so many alliances in a very negative way

While this is now concerning to me. We have a guy that joins around 10pm my time. By 11pm I have the 2nd boss down. I don’t think this will screw that up much but there is potential of someone else falling asleep before he joins...

I'm sure this is kind of the point for the change, people abusing the game mode for easy rewards.

Boss rush map 7 was bad for the game. Glad its gone.

Well most of the changes are welcome
But having all lanes giving a node to mini boss destroy some strategy

Some alliances did find a way to get some T5cc from AQ by mixing AQ6&7 and by doing some kind of boss rush in AQ7

That helped save potions. Now they will have to do the 100% or else they will not be able to finish the AQ and get some T5cc

That’s a good thing.

Earn the t5cc the hard way folks 😂

How is it a good thing ?

Does that take something from you if alliances have strategy to earn some t5cc ?

IKON

Does other players earning t5cc for less effort effect me when AW and prestige race are a thing? Why yes, yes it does.

The issue I'm trying to bring to light is being stuck in section 2 because now every lane links the boss in that section.

Section 1 only has 7 links but section 2 has 9.

Having to fight through a linked node is one thing but having to also fight through a linked mini-boss simply because we have foreign timezones is another.

sounds like you have either some reorganizing or recruiting to do.

OR maybe this game could stop trying to make AQ a chore. NOBODY likes AQ and adding time constraints to getting the second mini-boss down before US people go to bed just adds to the most unenjoyable game mode in mcoc.

No it doesn’t because those alliances earning T5cc have less prestige and probably not in your tiers in AW.

If they had so much prestige so they could threaten you in AW they would not have to boss rush AQ7 😉

again, everything you've just said can be resolved with recruiting folks in your same or adjacent time zones.

i get that i'm being cold hearted right now, but if you have a foreign player, i'm sure they would want the same, to be in the same time zone as the rest of their BG.

We are an alliance with 3 different time zone from all over the globe and we have no pb with that. Lane are given to avoid someone being blocked while others are sleeping

its not about prestige or AW, those players are earning a resource outside of the progression plan the developers have created in the game.

if those players need T5cc, there is plenty in story and permanent content in the game to get it.

but by boss rushing they are abusing a game mode they arent experienced or leveled up enough to do.

Jaded

Exactly this.

Abusing is maybe hard but i understand your point of views

its cooperative game mode that requires players to engage with the game in real time, being in the same time zone is crucial so all players move swiftly thru the map.

while it sucks for the friendships we make in the game while progressing via the lower maps that dont require the real time movement from all members, its needed for the higher maps and as such we need to make sacrifices.

Ah yes, as we all know, once you join an alliance you are bound to them for eternity and are not allowed to leave, OR change the direction of the current alliance at any point. Whew.

I been in 100% map 7 for multiple years now and if people want to boss rush good for them. But this is definitely overall a pro player move.

well said.
