what's with the overtuned side quest?

I took Moleman and HT into the Roblin quest. After wasting several minutes trying to outdamage masochism, I quit out and closed the game in disgust.
The path feels long (even with just 2 defenders) and the boss is all sorts of annoying.
I had better options but didn't think it through (my fault) but there really is no option that will make that fight any less annoying. Apoc for masochism? Then you have to deal with endless specials. Doom for power control? Your sp2 does basically no damage. Magik for power control? Fight would take forever.
And we have to do this every day? The rewards aren't that crazy for this level of annoyance.
I have the counters alright but this is the least fun I've had in a side quest since Jubilee's snoozacade.

I'll probably ingore this quest after getting the one time rewards. I use this game to relax not stress myself out some more.

Can you share the image?? And which difficulty you did?
Amd you talking about the new SQ? The Cosmic challenge something?

I just completed the red goblin quest on legendary difficulty, and I gotta say, it was a pretty big pain. Even with planned champs to use. I definitely don’t want to have to do a quest like this every day.

Don't know the name but it's the one you enter with keys

I’m going to hold off until I see how people cheese these quests, but it feels like a daily slog. The AV quest requires a decent amount of reliable parries if you go Doom/Wags.

Of course, that’s just one of the main game mechanics that’s not working properly right now.

What a slog fest... jeez

Was pretty easy with doom ngl. He did the whole path zero issues.

I cant come up with a counter tbh
Does someone have any idea?

Anyone who has passive DoT's or anyone who doesn't apply a ton of debuffs.

For quest one with the t5cc used apoc he did it pretty easy besides the game running like it was on dialup

Anyone know some good option for the venom pool quest? Also what’s the health pools like for legendary?

This event is a joke.
I just beat Agent Venon on Legendary and i’d rather uninstall the game than do this every day for a month.

Was really looking forward to this one but it seems like an absolute dud

How come I didn’t have a red goblin I had hood and Howard the duck and agent venom
Because you weren't on Legendary? I did Epic and had those guys I think. BTW Agent Venom was Hard as could be as well. I knew Legendary would be impossible for me.

I did legendary and had hood, HtD and Agent Venom.

The difficulty seems to be too hard for Legendary and is more in tune with the End Game players in mind (Read: Gauntlet or Summer of Pain TB Objectives)

I feel like the difficulty is fine for those type of players that want that challenge.

I don't feel it's the proper level of difficulty for an event that you had to do an entire month of solo objectives to gain entry and then have such ridiculous cheese against you whilst the game is not working properly.

I hope this even gets nerfed by Kabam a bit for the mass but personally, I can handle it but it's definitely not "fun" for even me.

Just because Preview was just implemented, I don’t think it should be expected of players to automatically get used to the function. I screwed up and used one of my antibodies. Venompool had Polka Dot Power and I obviously didn’t have a debuff heavy champion. Some may say I could’ve use the Preview function, but that doesn’t cut it for it being the first month this feature has been out.

I'm sorry, how is this anywhere near comparable to Gauntlet or SOP?

I did the Venompool one and do NOT recommend doom unless max sig cheese can be done. The enemy gains more power then you drain. Elsa with resistance ignore seemed like the right way to go.

You misunderstood what I said, this level of difficulty is not the same by any means, but the majority of people who loved that content and enjoyed it will enjoy the difficulty here is what I meant portray. The majority of MCOC player base will just deem it too hard for them based on required Team P.I.

Honestly, that Agent Venom was harder than most of the SOP fights for me.

why would you want to beat up 900k hp every day. that is ~25million hp in a month. Such a chore.

Maybe the access to Legendary difficulty is being extended to players it shouldn't be. Now days, there's a philosophy about this game that if one has access to a piece of content, that it should be tuned for them specifically. That's never been the case in the past.

There's always been an assortment of players who have access to something. And the level of individual difficulty you experience is based on your own personal progression (both roster and combat experience)...within your progression bracket. Here's why this is ok: Think about it this way. If a player is finding a piece of content they've been given access to difficult, it likely means the rewards are more valuable to your account than someone who doesn't find it difficult.

The relative value of rewards also scales up with the relative difficulty of the content. If that makes sense. 500 6 star shards, for example, is likely more impactful to one's account if they find the quest difficult. And it's less impactful for someone who does not. This kind of balances things in a way.

Edit: The best solution may be that another difficulty is needed altogether, beyond Legendary. With different access requirements. If that happened, Legendary could be retuned.

That Agent Venom fight is so dumb. Just an awful side quest from the very beginning.

It isn’t.

But depending on which one you chose, the difficulty/time commitment for an every day quest (for which players pounded a month of stultifying objectives to reach) just feels off.

I chose AV and coasted the first two fights (although both were over 100 hits w/ R3 Doom). Where I stumbled was dealing with lag and parry issues on the AV fight.

Eating a combo you thought you parried + blocking an AV Sp1 with a load of prowess passives = lotta pain.

I’m willing to wait and see what the rest of the month looks like. This wasn’t what I expected thus far, but there’s ample time to adjust.
