**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

The difficulty increase is ridiculous

2. Act 4 venom- I believe they removed the poison node with removed all mystic options up to recently. Many were forced to use 2 or at best 3* counters against one of the most vicious venoms in the game. Taught evade/intercept as you try not to die from block damage
3. Access to 4/5/6*s allows players to skip learning mechanics like evade and intercept and instead rely on the bigger health pools and attack values.
Having started a new account last year to farm units for gifting it was a joke. By the time I hit act 2 I had 3 4*s and by act 3 3 5*s. I entered act 4 with 2 6*s from the easy side quests and reward crystals. I joined a small alliance with multiple summoners level 45-50 with all 5 and 6*s on their profiles. Most were pushing for cavalier without even balancing their mastery trees with these op options but struggling towards the end of act 5. They were focused on side eq for easy rewards to power level their accounts.
Doing this is why we see players today complaining about the content difficulty.
There are other examples of removed or nerfed content but I would have to view every chapter and try to recall what was removed from it after 8 years of not looking at it.
I'm not struggling with the increased difficulty but rather my gripe is specifically concerns not being able to autofight the lower EQs.
Conversely, reading comprehension is evidently not your strength. But then either is basic grammar. Both those basic skills will hold you in good stead throughout your life so develop them, lest you bumble yourself throughout an interaction and end up looking and sounding flippant, foolish and cognitively deficient..
I never commented on Autofighting but if that's your only complaint I feel sorry that you will lose out on a few units.
Sorry you will have to work for in game currency rather than having it handed to you like a weekly allowance from your parents. The entitlement is strong in this one.
If the content won't allow Autofight make the lower 3 eq levels energy free for thronebreaker and paragon. Lower 2 free for cavalier. This would allow for easier completion by those seeking resources from them while still keeping kabams challenge level where it is.
There must have been a significant drop in player engagement to warrant this. So I’m guessing Kabam was worried content would be too easy after the banquet event, which was why BG & EQ were overtuned?
I’m gonna make a few assumptions here.
Kabam was worried the game would be too easy after Banquet event, so BG & EQ were overtuned?
I’m guessing that there’s a portion of players who love this challenge, good for them. However, I suspect there may be a larger silent portion of busy working professionals who are active but not hardcore, and still financially support the game with Sigil subscriptions etc. There’s a reason why they stay indefinitely at Unc or Cav - they don’t have time to push in story but may have time to Autoplay EQ. There’ve been months where that’s all I did as I was too busy IRL. If these game modes feel like a chore, we’ll just play less and there’s less incentive to spend. Hopefully this is been actively tracked, so adjustments can be made next month.
Honestly, I’m kinda glad EQ/BG feels onerous this month. It encouraged me to start playing with ChatGPT instead, and now I’m using most of my free time to learn how to code lol.
In fact, please keep continue overtuning this game. Make everything harder!
What are your thoughts on the downscaling? The autoplay function appears to be working fine at the Conqueror level EQ on my side..
This would naturally increase their time compared to those that attempt after the change. Has Kabam considered looking at the times people put before the change yesterday and adjust the times according to the changes in difficult or add a list of X summoners that did it before the change and X after (for example X being 100 for each)?
Look, I’ve been playing this game for about 5 years now and I just became Uncollected late last year. I consider myself an average skill level player, but I know a lot of players would tell me I should be Cavalier or higher based on my years playing. You know what? I don’t care. Uncollected fits MY skill level. This is just a game and I play to have fun. I’m not interested in tearing my hair out playing an EQ level I know should be challenging, but doable based on my skill level. With these changes, this level has become an exercise in frustration. Stop trying to force people to progress in the game according to what you want; this is why you have different skill levels (they shouldn’t change). If I want to be a middle tier skill player, I’m good with that.
Have you tried void, torch with prefight, spiderham, Mr negative, antivenom?
Which is, quite honestly, bs. Like, that's an a hole move kabam - use some honesty.
Also, can anyone see this message? I think I’m shadow banned. Lol
