Act 6 redesign and nerf

Nemurio

Hi there,

Are there any plans to nerf the Act 6, to reduce number of lanes and fights per lane?

And also the Grandmaster fight itself? Personally I see no point in exploring this content even after the nerf in the past..

I really, REALLY hope this is a troll post. Act 6 had been nerfed more times than I can count on one hand

Maybe but still too many things to do with lot of energy (personal) cost and rewards not accurate to the time investment.

And yet it still sucks. Its just full of unfun paths and fights. I explored 6.1 and thought I'd do the lot and then I realised I needed my head checked out.

It is kind of a rite of passage thing to become Thronebreaker. It should be easier now as many Cav players have many 6r3 beyond god tier champs in their roster now.

Act 6 is fine. I wouldn't explore it instead of going into Act 7, but I explored it after Act 7 and it was a blast. It's a good piece of content to have left to do after you've completed Act 7 and what we currently have of Act 8.

The GM should stay as he is. If you nerf him, you're just going to have trouble fighting the other bosses in Act 7 and beyond that all follow the same rough formula. Him being that tough prepares you for them, so nerfing him would just be detrimental to you.

But he does easier after you get more used to those types of bosses in the later content. I found him much easier to tackle after I'd explored Act 7 and all of its bosses than I did on my first time fighting the GM.

I got through whole act 7 (100% only on 7.1), 100% explored 8.1. Then tried to go through act 6 again. It is not fun at all... there are too many fights.

Regarding GM nerf I mean adding of the charges that stack through fights so you keep them even if you die like in 7.4 Kang.

It’s been nerfed twice, it doesn’t need anymore and some will argue that was too many times already

Or just don`t focus on exploration. When you have done the useful stuff in the montly event. And the side quests just use your spare revives and energy to do a path here and there. It has worked fine for me like that. The content is no longer hard, just annoying. But if you do 1 or 2 paths a week it won`t bother you as much.

Act 6 been nerfed more times than I pulling Kate Bishop from a crystal.

Return it to it's original design.

Why would you even care if you haven't finished exploring all of Act 7 (and then I would still focus on 1st completion of abyss, EOP, and most of Carina's challenges first)?
