Carina's Challenges - Champion Restrictions and Filtering

K00shMaan

Slightly frustrated at the moment as I had just attempted to complete the "New Heroes and Foes" Carina Challenge but unfortunately had a 6 Star Joe Fixit on the team so it didn't count. But this post isn't about pity.
I'm just reaching out to the community in case there are genuine suggestions to how these challenges are implemented into the game that can prevent mistakes like this from accidentally happening to players. Kabam might want my units and $$ but I know they don't want people making mistakes that are demotivating like this. Other content in the game has correctly placed barriers that do not allow you to bring champions that are ineligible. I know these challenges are different than other content in the game but it doesn't mean that my suggestion isn't possible.

I''ll start with the best one I could come up with. Is there a way to possibly highlight the border around the challenge when you're quest team has the appropriate champions for that challenge. Red or no border for no, Green for yes. Similar to what a champion in quests looks like when you've ranked/leveled/or sigged them up.

Or you could have simply filtered by star level

OK so what about if it were the "O Canada" challenge where the #Canadian tag isn't even in the game? Just cause solutions exist doesn't mean design can't be improved.

Sounds to me you’re complaining about a mistake you made. The challenge specifically said 5* champions. You can blame Kabam all you want, but you didn’t bother to look at your roster before entering the quest.

I just did that challenge, it royally sucked because I didn't bring SG. Major RIP my dude.

@K00shMaan the good news is that @Kabam Miike has promised April update will resolve tagging/filtering issues.



Not sure it would resolve your problems in their entirety, but he seems to think it will resolve most of them.

How will game know that you are doing act 6 quest for challenge ? you could be just exploring act 6.

I'm glad you mentioned this because this is basically the point of the post, How can you get the game to know that. It's not a simple answer but there certainly are ways and I was kind of hoping that other people had ideas too because I think the Carina's Challenges are slightly out of place sitting in almost the same window as such difficult tasks as "Complete a Quest" or "Win 12 Fights"

I think the best implementation would be possibly a "Play Now" button on the challenge in the Objectives Screen. Pressing it can take you to the Champion selection screen with properly filtering applied.

There is ambiguity in some of the descriptions of these Challenges so it would be nice to have something you can check to actually know you've interpreted it correctly (especially since this game has to be translated to how many different languages)

This is great news. I hope they also increase the limit of Tags that you can actually apply as well in conjunction with this change. This is one of those months of CavEQ where that would be very helpful.
