**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

New TB difficulty level. Lower Cav slightly for “new” cavalier players (like me). And LEAVE THE REST ALONE.
Even though I’m newly cavalier (working my way through 6.3 right now) I’ve had the game since the day it launched, 8 years ago. I uninstalled a couple years ago when life took over and then reinstalled last year, happy to progress, get Cav, and take my roster from the 1 6* to the 40 or so I have now.
Here’s the thing, if my “best” champs are tied up in AW defenders or using for attack, I still used to be able to use the entire rest of my roster to complete Uncollected difficulty. It took longer, but I could still accomplish that while utilizing my strongest in other areas. Then when I had my strongest available I would work on Cavalier difficulty.
Now, it’s impossible to do Uncollected unless I have my strongest team. So what that means is on AW attack days, I just don’t do anything else in the game. It’s wasted time when kabam should be *wanting* me to be playing the game.
Here’s the bet: Nothing but 4-stars.
Parameters:
What I can do:
I can use any 4-star.
I can use health potions.
What I can’t do:
I cannot use revives.
I cannot use boosts.
The stakes:
For you: Absolutely nothing. It will cost you nothing, if I can or can’t do it.
For me: If I can do it? I get nothing. Nothing at all.
If I can’t do it? I will close my Forum account. Won’t post here again.
So now, we’ll see — and please don’t come on here if I do it and say “how do I know you did,” because again: It’s costing you NOTHING. I don’t cheat. I am a solo player. I have never said that I am an elite player.
Either I can do it, or I can’t.
So we’ll see.
Notes: OG Black Widow was the MVP here. Needed Malik’s Limbo, Spider-Man’s Evade, and Human Torch’s reciprocal Incinerate shut down, and that’s what that kit does.
Void did die, on the Ghost boss. I just wanted to see how well his 4/40 damage would scale, how long it would take, just for my own testing. I had the full team there, with plenty of health except for OG Black Widow who had maybe 6 or 7 percent left. So it was never in doubt — Hercules was sitting there on the bench, ready to clean it up if something got ridiculous.
Huge note: There’s something messed up about the control input. That won’t be an excuse, if I don’t clear UC.
But it is seriously annoying and jacked up that the input control problem sends you flying toward the opponent or skittering backward, out of nowhere. I defend Kabam a lot because I understand that they don’t want it to happen, but at the same time, that is something the game can’t have. There’s got to be some kind of way to address it. It really is a problem.
Some screenshots:
On to the Modok chapter; curious how Wags might do, just from an initial look
The stakes: maybe you'll shut up and stop trying to argue against something that even Kabam Jax already acknowledged.
You may not be a cheater but you certainly are a liar, or at the very least someone who back tracks a lot. So, if you "do it" (without using a gazillion health potions), I'm still not gonna believe it lol and I doubt anyone on these forums will.
I said it could be cleared with 4-stars. Period. I never said “explored.” I never said “timeless.”
I literally said I wouldn’t use Boosts or Revives.
There’s nothing I said to backtrack. You came in here and said the Baron Zemo and Absorbing Man couldn’t be done, so what are you whining about?
It costs you nothing, either way
Of course you can clear it once with 4* taking the easiest paths you genius but what is clearing the EQ once gonna do for a player when the best rewards are the completion ones? Big brain argument right there. Do you not see how wrong it is that you have to use health potions on every single path just to clear the damn thing once? Lmao.
You did say you were gonna use health potions though, which is also dumb because if you have to use health potions on every path (even the easiest ones) then the difficulty did get overtuned.
That's not what I said, what I said was how are you gonna clear the rest of the paths and the bosses when you lost 60% health on a single fight, can you read?
What does that have to do the the Zemo and Absorbing Man, who you said couldn’t be done — and I haven’t even tried it yet. I have no idea if I can.
So either I wasn’t “delusional” when I said it could be cleared with 4-stars. Right? That’s what you called me, right?
Or if I can’t clear it, then I can’t clear it and I was “delusional.”
That’s literally how some of us had to learn how to play the game — nobody gave some of us 4-stars, let alone 5-stars and 6-stars. There was no Autofight.
All I said was that UC could be cleared with 4-stars — which maybe I am wrong! You said it couldn’t be done! — but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s no law that anyone has to 100 percent every single piece of content every single minute of every single month.
Fix this, and I am not kidding! I must be able to auto fight and fully explore all the first 3 difficulties! Or I am done doing those quests.
UC is pretty much what I'd expect. Defenders have roughly half the PI, health, and attack of the boss.
Cav defenders have about 75% of the boss's values.
But now look at the TB defender to boss ratio. Defenders have much higher PI, and health. Their attack is a bit lower, but not by a whole lot.
Edit: I'm talking about absorbing man, the final boss at the proven (formerly heroic) level
I wasn’t trying to trick anyone — nobody asked me about Masteries, and Masteries were never mentioned in the thread. When he said I couldn’t do it and that it couldn’t be done, he didn’t say “oh, you’ve got Masteries, so maybe you could.”
He said I couldn’t do it because I lost health to Rhino and that for some reason, using a 3/30 Magneto against a Metal champion was somehow wrong or something, and I had my same Masteries on then. Nobody mentioned that at all
Because there is absolutely no way in hell you're gonna take out a 200k-210k health pool with protection with a 4* champ (at least not without revives or potions and the absolute best counters).
You are delusional, again if you go in with potions, counters and take he easiest path it might be doable, however if such conditions aren't met it is not possible. What makes out think someone who just became UC is gonna have all these my man are you good? Lol
How is that “braggadocio?”
Right, cause back then there weren't 6 champ rarities, there were only 5 so they have to allow lower players to progress quicker. Increasing the difficulty by 10 is how you don't do that. I don't think you understand how online video games that constantly receive updates work, and it's concerning.
Maybe not you, but UC players who are trying to get shards and materials (and obviously enjoy the game) have to be able to clear the EQ without having to spend 500 units on potions. You're so dense dude.
