Act 7.3 100% exploration experience

Chovner

I'm currently 82% through exploration of 7.3 and here's my CONSTRUCTIVE opinion on this content so far:

1. Reading through all the nodes for each path and then trying to figure out how they interact with each other is a bit of a mind bender.

2. The Paradox system is good in concept, but the type of Paradox nodes used don't work in a lot of cases: example relying on parry and dex to remove charges when parry and dex are currently pretty broken in game.

3. Not being able to know how many Paradox charges you end each fight with is unacceptable. Keeping track of that in the same session over 5 champs is hard, but if you decide to take your time on a path and finish it over the course of a couple of sessions it's too hard to remember where you are with charges... Start a fight to find out you're at 8 charges, parry by instant and POOF there goes a huge chunk of health for example.

4. Dealing with all the nodes interactions, Paradox charges and AI abilities is like spinning a dozen plates on a moving ship at sea a lot of times.

5. There's an overuse of evade, unblockable and power gain. Thankfully there wasn't alot of Unblockable paired with Unstoppable.

6. The swap 1 character before the boss fight is still an awesome feature!

7. The bosses were well balanced thankfully.

I agree with your post.

The Paradox charges take the fun out of a lot of fights. I'm not here to pass the SAT, just to have fun playing a video game.

I am delaying the last 2/3 of exploration because of the parry/dex issues, which were acute during the Kang boss fight, which is basically a test of your dexxing abilities. Hopefully that gets cleared up soon.

I really hope that the 7.4 final boss fight does not rely on dexxing so much. That would be unfair considering the bug.

For the most part, I found 7.3 to be mentally engaging and fun. I agree that Paradox was a bit overused in some cases. Often, it felt as if the Paradox aspect of the fight completely took charge over any other strategic aspects of it (it consumed too much mental energy, essentially - not leaving room for much else). And definitely agree about the lack of ability to track current Paradox for each champ. It actually used the Cross-fight icon, but the quantity was left out for some reason. Other cross-fights in game do actually give you a quantity.

That you don't know how many paradox charges you have at the beginning of a fight is downright absurd. If its a "persistent charge", then let us see how many we have!!!! Pretty much sucked any of the fun out of my 7.3 experience.

Explored this way back last yr and **** was it annoying.well some paths were very fun tho but the science champs requirement coupled with the mix master evade paths were annoying.ha

I have been enjoying it so far. There are a few tweaks that would improve the experience but reading the long nodes and playing detective is actually part of the fun for me.

a quick tip,odin's protection can save u from the fun and interactive damage from paradox.i think kabam shouldn't have added the damage if u get 9 paradox,losing all of your paradox charges and getting some negative effect while below 3 of them is enough punishment

Is the too much reading to play the game for me, that more than anything else that annoys me
