**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.

    Wait, there are 7 path rewards listed but 6 paths per quest.

    Are some of those rewards only appearing in some quests? Double up for certain lanes? Typo?
    Path Rewards
    These rewards can only be picked up on paths inside a given Quest once.

    2x Gold Pickups (200 000 Gold each)
    2x Tier 5 Class Catalyst Crystals (25%)
    2x 6-Star Shard Pickups (2000 shards each)
    2x Tier 3 Alpha Catalyst Fragment Pickups (11 250 Fragments each)
    1x Tier 6 Basic Catalyst Fragments Pickup (28 500 each)
    1x Tier 6 Class Catalyst Fragment Crystal (5%)
    2x Unit Pickups (45 units each)
    My initial guess is that the T6B and T6C are both on the same lane.

    Yes that would be my assumption also with the 1x rewards.

    4k 7* shards in total? Am I reading that pittance of a number correctly? 3-4 mats are solid though.

    I am sure I am above average, but probably not in the top 5%... and have 72K 7 star shards already, and probably could get to 80K if I popped all my 6 star shards as basics (saving for next featured).

    4K shards... yawn. That would have been great in November or earlier before people built them up for many months... but its more of a joke now.

    That's the main reason to increase the costs of 7* shards. Gains have increased massively. I'm sure they will balance it out.

    Welcome to Act 8 Chapter 2 of Marvel Contest of Champions!

    Choice Nodes return to give players a chance to swap out a non-KO’d 5 or 6-Star Champion for another in their roster.

    So does that mean, we wont be able to swap 7* here, when they'll be released in may?

    I assume this will be easier than 8.1 since revive farming was demolished
  • TyEdgeTyEdge Posts: 2,834 ★★★★★
    Can someone like @Kabam Jax confirm that the global node for 8.2 operates exactly the same as the one from 8.1?

    I get that you don’t wanna spell out attack bonuses for 5 different ranks on every node, but it’d be good for my peace of mind to confirm that the boost to ranks 2/3/4 haven’t changed.

    (Based on my math, it was roughly 100-200-500-1000-2000)

    Hmm, maybe it's just me... but the rewards sounds weak... no r5 materials?! Like full tier 6 or rank up gem... And you are going to introduce 7*. That's very low in my opinion.

    Theres 8 25% t6c crystals. At very worst that's 25% of each and 50% of 2 classes. At best that's 2 full t6c of one catalyst

    When you need 3 full t6 to do one rankup, that’s not a comfort. And it also requires a boatload of t6b and t3a

    Don’t get me wrong the rewards looks great and I have no issue BUT the exploration gold seems to be on the little small side as ranking up 6*s is not cheap. I think as for exploration gets 3m, it should be respectively be on at least the 1m side. Just a thought…

    8.2 has 7 t6b and 7 t3a as well as the 3-4 gem. That's 1 r5 and 1 r4 or 3 r4s worth.

    glanced through the live 8.2 nodes and didn't see any Capture Node. at least in 8.2.1
  • H3t3rH3t3r Posts: 2,800 Guardian
    In 8.2.4 on the venom path. White mags passive stun isn't converting the weapon node to my champions when it says any stun debuff or passive will do it.
  • Madman_marvinMadman_marvin Posts: 578 ★★★
    Anyone else seeing the choice node bugged? I select my champ, hit select, it resets, and the champ I picked is missing.

    Are you using Wags against a metal champ? Or just the prefight for someone else?

    Did a path in each of first three chapters. Fun. Watched a video breakdown of the big boss, and that looks like a lot of fun. Good work, Kabam.

    Also, the path rewards are dope. Was able to rank 4 a champ (Mole God).

    Pacify mastery or disorient from sp1? Those are my only logical explanations.
