Thoughts on SQ Objectives?

I've played this game for long time, this will be the first time ever I will see objectives not completed at month end.

I understand Kabam pushing Relics on us but the hardest objectives only giving relic stuff just doesn't make it worth doing, especially the Level 5 difficulty only offering 250 5* relic shards (2.5%), should be some 6* minimum surely?

Before anyone starts with the 'you don't have to do it' comments, we're supposed to want to do this or at least feel like we should be doing it to progress further.

I don’t even look at objectives anymore. Far too many champs I need to rank with far too little gold to do it. Relics aren’t even on my radar.

In some ways it makes the game easier to ignore these objectives. On the other hand, these objectives used to have some juicy rewards. Maybe these are obtained in the side quests completion now… I don’t know. But relic rewards might as well be premium shards in my book.

I did all the objectives except the lowest two as I didn't bother running those quests. I did have to run a few quests again because I didn't realize that the next objective in the chain also applied to the first quest but other than that it didn't add much to the difficulty so why not do it?

It's all up to you whether it's worth it or not. The SQ itself gave out all those materials that you asked for. In recent memory, those objectives used to be for getting your 20% R4 Mats. Well those were just in the quest itself as path rewards this time around. It's not like they disappeared.

Very much this for me.....

The objectives were tedious and a waste of time also confused me too. I didn’t realize it was two things for each week

I'm Soo happy for these relic objectives. Finally there is no incentive to do them

I didn't have a problem with the objectives rewarding miniscule amounts of relic shards, but I dislike when Kabam spams us with objectives. It makes it hard to get a good overview of what actually needs doing. The first week, I completed the first objective for (and explored) every difficulty, only to eventually see that there was a second objective for that week. Therefore, I had to redo every difficulty once, which was a chore.

I prefer when there are fewer objectives or, if there has to be many, that they are spread out over the month. I find that the messages of the objectives become much clearer then. If there are too many of them, all the text kind of blurs together for me and it's easy to miss things.

The objectives were pretty easy to complete though. It wasn't bad for a cherry on top of the rewards we're already getting for finishing the SQ.

Absolutely trash and not worth doing (for me at least). Literally zero incentive. Relics dont offer me a thing for the time/effort that would be put into those side quest challenges

Relics can be made more better by imposing the relic champ immunities or special abilities to the tied champ, maybe for a little duration at beginning or dash back hold will switch it on for few seconds during the fight.

I actually did one accidently, only after that I saw the rewards and realized there is no reason to do it.
I don't think there was any valid reason for relics in a first place. Also I only do highest difficulty sq most of the time for more than a year by now

This month was a dumpster fire for me. I posted about this in the SQ thread.

280 fights across 5 difficulties in 28 days. Last month was 144 across 4 difficulties in 35 days. It’s a HUGE increase in commitment before you even account for the fact it’s all harder. And all of this is being asked in a month where war and BGs ran almost all month, and EOP launched.

Plus, the later weeks were “hidden” behind early weeks. If you screw up your solo twice in week 2, for example, you’ve gotta clear it a third time for no rewards besides the objective and ability to get later objectives.

I’m not a fan of time locked SQ at all.
Really I can’t see the point on that.
Also SQs that have these format and objectives should be 0 energy.
I messed only once and didn’t one shot the boss, and needed to do a 3rd run.
I’m pretty sure many did 3 runs or even more than that.
Energy requirements have sky rocketed compared to the past.
An additional difficulty at EQ, tedious side quests requiring energy and BGs, have increased energy demands by a lot.
Of course, there will always be the arguments:
1. Content is optional and
2. You can farm units for energy refills
but
1. Content is not optional, is a must if you want to preserve a relative to the game’s meta account and
2. units from arena come with a time cost, that has increased by a lot. People don’t have infinite time, a day has only 24hrs, you can’t play arena all of them, unfortunately.

Not doing them. Not interested in relics

SpideyFunko

It’s one less thing I have to worry about every month

KyrieRed

I tried the first week and second week then I didn’t care anymore

WayWorn2525

skip the relics rewards

Terra

I skip the relic focused ones, don't care for them.
Decent stuff in the lower ones though

Agree 100% .
Not worth my time and energy for something that adds little value to the game.

I did all of them because I'm addicted but honestly don't see any improvement in my account. I'm sure the shards will add up eventually so I'll keep doing them. Week 5 was tougher (restarted a couple times) but also looks like I did it while it was bugged.

IMWeasel

I didn't see anything improve from doing these and I DO actually like relics. But I have done every relic quest there is and still don't even have any tier one or tier two class catalysts to rank them (Not that it matters because as you said I'd only rank 5 and 6 star relics) I agree that either the rewards need to be returned to viable materials or at the very least pump the relic rewards.

Already talked about this and I remain the same; giving ONLY relics rewards is a big mistake, the ones doing the hardest difficulty are the ones that are in need of more resources because they need to R2/R3 their 6*, giving this little resources everytime its like laughing at them.

Kabam needs to understand what they ask for at leveling and upgrading both Champions and Relics and what they give, 1M gold its nothing nowadays, very big lack of ISO, no alloy or fragments enough to really rank up relics, so those have no value for us, but they still put ONLY relic stuff on rewards.

If they want players trying to do X stuff to get rewards, those rewards must be worth enough to have to either do that stuff many times or spend revives, energy and units on them, if not, players will just skip them, I was doing them yesterday and I thought nah, not worth.

And the game modes that give "enough", because it aint really enough but its something, are quite boring or repetitive or unfunny like AQ or Incursions

Andddddddd they did it again 🤦‍♂️ clear disconnect between Kabam and its player base. Crazy

I just got my second 5 star relic today. Ant-Man . It would be more of a cool pull if I had a 6 star Yellowjacket. At least I can use it to extend combos in the meantime.

I'd prefer it if they went with the rewards structure where you choose between Rank up stuff or Acquisition stuff. It might be more complicated for them to further divide that into Relics and Champs and shepherd more economies, but they get what they get. We didn't ask for Relics.

DJMNH

Will be definitely playing SQ, but at the same time ignoring the objectives. If it gets completed somehow by playing randomly iam happy, but not gonna go tedious like last month

GinjabredMonsta

It feels the same as last month

Drake2078

Don't like that this month you only get one chance to defeat the boss in a single fight

Buttehrs

Don't like that this month you only get one chance to defeat the boss in a single fight

You get 4. You'll get 3 more tickets in the calendar for week 1.
