Would it kill Kabam to release good content?

The last 3 months have been ridiculous between the side quests, Shang Chi boss rush, and now Variant 8. The side quest difficulty has gone up but the rewards sure haven’t. And if they aren’t difficult you can be sure they’ll be tedious and boring. Cav difficulty now has mini bosses that are a chore. Variant 8 has awful bosses and doesn’t actually beef up the filtered champs which is a very limited pool. The only thing that was a sliver of fun was the Platpool stuff. December better knock my socks off or I’m done for good.

Difficulty varies.

Will we accept rewards decreasing if difficulty was easier, since we expect rewards to increase if difficulty increases?

SQ's, v8 and EQ suck but not every bit of content was bad. Shang chi boss rush was actually pretty good imo, it just took a couple of days for people to discover like 10 different solid counters. Also 7.3 was released and that content like that can't be ignored.

I will admit that 7.3 was enjoyable.

I was relatively happy with Shang chi boss rush.

It's virtually impossible for them to release content that everyone finds "good".

Gone are the days when kabaam actually get some stuffs right in the game. Kabaam are so lazy with rewards structure but very hardworking at releasing trash content.

Just because there isn't 20 6* nexus crystals in act 1, doesn't mean they're lazy with rewards. You just think you deserve more for doing less. If it were up to the community, you'd get all the rewards you wanted for not doing anything. Most of the community is lazy.

Kabam needs to make some changes in their staffing room or maybe the room is making those changes for them. Tried V8 and yeah it’s terrible. I think they need to change something about it. The boss bugs for sure and also adjust the attack punishment for non-mercenary champs. He required champs are too specific and limited, meant for developed rosters so much for not an end-game content. Nowadays it’s tedious rolling with Kabam, it’s like a relationship where the negatives outweigh the positives.

I think that both need to follow the same curve. It’s difficult to pin difficulty as rosters are ever-changing and improving. The reality is that we need ever-greater rewards for them to be relevant to users, especially those at the top of the spear, like yourself.

New, permanent content should always be endgame and have rewards that reflect this because as rosters progress and further content is released it naturally becomes more mid tier. Act 6 broke this cycle up a bit because it was so over-tuned by comparison to the rest of the in game content which led to Variants being stepping stones for players trying to get through Act 6. Now that there’s Act 7 in game, 3/4 through, mind you, Variants should at the very least be aiming to hit around 7.1 levels of difficulty and rewards, which they just are not.

Just look at the meager rewards of the current side quest. Look too at the rewards of V8. Now think about the time/effort needed to complete that content. I dare you to say that they have at least an "acceptable" effort-to-rewards ratio.

Lower the difficulty in order to be able to lower the rewards? Are you even listening to yourself? They'd probably need to double the current rewards for me to even consider running this content as it stands now. Either that or they lower the difficulty considerably so the effort-to-rewards ratio becomes at least passable.

Almost every new content for the past months is way harder than it used to be, everything feels like close to end game content. As op said, Variant 8, this month's SQ where even Epic is hard to fully explore, mini bosses in EQ... six months ago I was able to go through all of them with a little struggle and revives, yes, but now I ll need double the resources to get through them.

As for the rewards, they are the same as 6 months ago for EQ, SQ and new variant, if kabam wants to have upgrade the level of difficulty in monthly quests, make a new one for end game players, and give them better rewards. Just let us middle range players (I m TB for 2 months now) enjoy the game as we were used to.

Must agree with the op here, the cav minibosses what is that all about. I've gone from being able to explore cav eq in recent months, to this month I think I'll give it a miss.
I feel the difficulty has increased on eq stuff in general. Maybe since the introduction of being able to rank up 6* past r3? But not everyone is at that point and I certainly am finding others in my alliance especially recent to cav players are struggling. So fine difficulty has gone up to accommodate those more end game players, but how are cav and recent to tb players meant to progress if they can't do the content required to rank up 6*?
I say it's time to bring in thronebreaker difficulty across the eq and side quests and bring cav/legendary back to a level where there is a balance between fun and challenging

And you are the only one clearing all the content ? Kabam's rewards are not increasing and the difficulty is increasing instead, we are not asking for 6* nexus everywhere and free 6* sig stones. I see plenty of players who have 100% explored upto 7.3 and still are not happy with the type of content coming out right now.Stop calling all this BS on the community.

I've been ok with most of the recent content. V8....nah. Kabam kinda missed the boat on that one. I'll go back once the bugs have been fixed. The mini bosses in the EQ caught me off guard at first, but afterwards was fairly straightforward. Except for Terrax.....It felt like an AW fight. Act 7.3 has been pretty good so far. That being said...it's hard to make game content that's for everyone since everyone's definition of "fun" is different.

I spent more units and revives completing V8 than 7.3. Now tell me which one is considered “end game content.”
