The reason I installed this game was that it was marvel based. The reason I stayed was the difficulty. Games are designed for all spectrums of players, some are easy, some are difficult, some are mind numbingly difficult. As a gamer I gravitate towards games on the harder end of the difficulty spectrum, more towards platformers (cuphead) than the souls games, simply due to time limitations.
When the game shifted in permanent content to a more fun based approach, it was sad for me. I fully explored Act 7.1 and 7.2 before calling it quits on my original account. I realized this content was not enjoyable for me, I was grinding away at map 7 and P2+ war for what? To improve a roster I did not require. I've used the analogy before but it holds true, I was building a "staircase to nowhere". I've since started a new account in order to get some of that feeling back of difficulty by artificially reducing my own roster strength to increase difficulty
Act 6 was the last time this game felt truly challenging in a good way. If I played well, I could clear a lane without revives, if I didn't, I was punished for it. Even todays challenging content doesn't do this. Summer of pain and eternity of pain do not have failure costs associated with them. I had tried about a dozen times vs Crossbones before I was able to get the one shot. Those 11 failures mean nothing because it's an easy restart and try again. The last content I ever felt even close to rivaled Act 6 would be the Grandmasters gauntlet.
Some may say it doesn't matter, nerfing act 6 is what is best for the game, and that's almost certainly true, but is irrelevant to me. The game didn't meet my needs, so I quit for a while, and only returned to play in a different style. Having even the nerfed act 6 was something I was looking forward to exploring, but the energy costs and number of paths pushed me towards Act 7 exploration first. I am very disappointed I won't get the chance to challenge the mountain in its current form with my new account.
Complaining about being compensated, not being fair because we did it years ago or asking for it to go back to what it was is down right dumb. Let the new players or even older players progress like we did. Without that core like DNA said this game is nothing. Yes the spenders are key too but Spenders make up maybe 10% of the game (as in whales) then there is 30-40% casual spender (like me) then there are the once a year spenders and the FTP. We need everyone to progress for this game to continue. So as I said before I’m glad this change was made even if it doesn’t affect me in anyway directly it affects me indirectly. This game fails I need to player madden more and that’s boring.
I don't fault Kabam for trying to make money but what is frustrating is watching someone who has been playing for 2 years with Multiple 6* R3 and R4 when guys like me have been around grinding it out for 6 plus years...****, remember when Dr. Strange was a beast and needed to be nerf'd hahha...
This is a money grab, I'm sure June will have packages to buy to push people to Throne and then a push from Thorne guys to get R4s to Paragon...bittersweet but that is the business of mobile gaming...
And in a reality where many of us have struggled with parry and dex issues off and on for 10 months now, I can absolutely see how players would be driven away.
Just the other day, I told a newly cavalier player to ignore 6.2 indefinitely and focus exclusively on monthly content and variants until their roster was better suited. That’s not a well constructed story mode. If this makes a smooth progression more attainable, it’ll help replenish the pool of end-Cav and TB summoners as some become disaffected and reduce or eliminate game time.
Having said that this isn't the biggest issue. The biggest issue is does this mean TB will be devalued to the point that it won't be much better than Cav? Considering the crazy requirement to get Paragon if this happens I will just quit the game as I can't get Paragon without the 3 rank 4s and I'm only working on my 2nd one right now. I used up a lot of resources to even get the TB title and the biggest reason to get the title was the better rewards compared to the Cavalier title. It's looking more than more like the progressing levels will be lumped together between Cavs/TB just like they have with Uncollected and lower progression level which IMO is a mistake this soon after Paragon has been introduced.
Frustration is seeing something ridiculous, and knowing that pushing back on it is no more effective than trying to push a pile of Jello uphill.
The same way they compensated players when they initially nerfed Act6, the same way they need to compensate players that did it before June 8th.
That’s the fair thing to do.
Before you answer, it is always possible to refactor a nerf into a player-side buff. We don't have to change the content, we can just give players stronger tools to use to complete the content. Does that also deserve compensation? If so, where do you draw the line?
My only concern, which I would like clarified as was not mentioned at all one way or the other, is this going to reset our progress? As in not completed yet. I am on 6.4.3 and was not planning on rushing through it in the next few weeks but if it will affect that then I will as do not want to do all that again. If not I will wait to do it
I am aware this is not a remake like the changes to acts 1-3 were if you had not already 100% them but I have seen several saying it will likely reset progress so I want to know for sure whether it will or not
I abandoned act 6 for a very long time as did not have the counters for it. Finally got cav then left it at that again for a long time. I have very slowly been going through it for completion. I need to know now whether I need to rush through and finish it all now or not. I dont have the resources built up to do it right now so would be using up units I otherwise wouldnt have to
Good luck.
