Let's take Peni for example. She's a powerful Defender. If every person who finished Act 7 took Peni to R4, that would make War a hell of a time.
Now, that's just a loose example and I'm sure the odds are pretty good that people have OP Champs of each Class in their arsenal. However, waiting on the same Class for the same Champ is something that RNG provides. That allows the game to grow into the influx of R4s.
We've seen the habits of Players. Undoubtedly people would take the same Champ(s) to R4. That's an imbalance. Not only for the game itself, but the Players as well.
RNG provides a balancing factor that spreads over time. Eventually people will have more Resources and make different choices, but if it wasn't for the RNG buffer, the game would need to take a very different turn because of the aftereffects.
There may be some OP, some decent, and some bad options, but without those other options, you have a game that is pushed into rebalancing because all the R4s are the same OP Champs.
Its not a generic but at least you get a good shot at a useful class to you.
Moot point for me, I wont explore anytime soon but I felt self important and figured everyone absolutely must read my opinion.
I'd love more r4 materials in general, but I guess they put that into carina2.0 which I will work on after 7.4. Good to have some sort of a goal to work towards.
That is, unless this is your second r4, and you spin out the same class as your first... that could be infuriating... and about 1:6 people will have this happen (some people this will be their first if they don't spend much, others who spend a lot, might have 2 or 3 already, but most people exploring act 7 should be at 1, or so close, you should want to finish this one first, so when you finally get your 2nd, you are sure you don't pick the same class).
I picked Doom first... and I can't say mystic would make my top 4 classes I want... but would I complain about "having to r4" Claire or one of the other mystics next? Probably not for more than 5 minutes. I'm more likely to complain if my war opponents keep banning my r4 champ, and thus if I got Science... while I'd love an r4 torch... I'd have a hard time picking him because of that, and that would actually be more infuriating.
I’ve realised that if I pull a science 3-4, I really won’t mind! I’ve got Negative who deals with power gain, buffet/power snack, degen, healing and almost every tough mystics. But he has weaknesses that other science champs cover, he can’t deal with evade/unstoppable for example. I’d be happy to rank another science champ who covers what he can’t.
And it’ll be the same for whoever you have at R4 already. Your doom can’t handle evade very well, he can’t get around immune to power control or nullify champs very well. He doesn’t have immunities outside of shock/armour break. His buff control is strong, but I would always go tigra, sym or Claire as the top option if there are a ton of buffs and the challenge is purely buff control. My point is, Doom has weaknesses and your next rank up can help cover those.
For me, if I get a second science I’m going to wait for AntiVenom and R4 him. He has a great synergy with negative, and covers the unstoppable/evade that negative can’t handle, along with two fantastic immunities and also some block damage mitigation, and stagger/unblockable counter.
When I first realised it was a Crystal, science was my least wanted. But I’ve thought about it, and now I’d absolutely love a science. I get that that maybe a less popular opinion, but really, every class has a long list of strong champions and two of the same class can cover a hell of a lot of ground.
I’ve said before in this thread that yes, obviously a generic is a better reward than a class-based rank up gem. But like… that class gem still goes hard. That’s 3 t6b, 3 t3a, 2 (specific) t5cc, and 5 t5b. That’s an enormous value!
Personally, with my catalyst stash being what it is, I’d prefer this gem over just getting the t6b and t3a outright. Obviously everybody has a different stockpile on hand, but I’m seriously hurting for basic catalysts so not having to spend them here is great for me, and I’ve got options in every class that I’d be excited to take up.
To make rewards completely satisfactory though, a generic rR4 gem would just make it perfect. But I went through my roster and I was able to find a substitute in every class. My prestige won't be as good but still enough to compete on my alliances level which is the priority.
We have seen the community pitch forks before and this post isn't one of them. Kabam hasn't even deleted any comments as far as I know, so yeah.
Please clarify.
In any event, I’ve been thinking about the 7.3/7.4 rewards being identical issue. That one stuck with me because, on first glance, that seems obviously flawed. Of course 7.4 should grant more than 7.3.
So I got to thinking and realized that it actually does. It’s just not in the completion/exploration rewards right now, it’s in the chests on the paths.
Each quest in 7.4 will have: 3,000 6* shards, 2 full t5b, 4 full t2a, 90 units, and a chunk o’ gold.
Each quest in 7.3 had (and I’m doing this from memory, so I might be a little off): 2,000 6* shards, 1 full t5b, 2/3 t2a, 90 units, and a chunk o’ gold.
So that means on the whole, 7.4 has 6,000 more 6* shards, 6 more t5b, something like 6-12 more t2a, the same amount of units, and I didn’t compare the gold chunks.
In analyzing that, I’d say the shards are pretty decent, going from 12,000 to 18,000. The t5b is great, an extra 6 of those is beautiful. The rest I don’t have much of an opinion on (because I’m still drowning in t2a).
I can absolutely get why people are disappointed there aren’t more r4 materials in 7.4 than there were in 7.3. That aspect of the issue makes perfect sense to me. But I don’t think we can say that the rewards for the two are identical overall. The on-path rewards are different enough to deserve some distinction.
Because the difference between them is the 3 T5C, which is widely available, and is not the bottleneck for the next rank. Either way we would get the T6B and T3A in the gems. Then why should 3, 2 year old catalyst be the factor?
I also have no idea what you are trying to say.
