What was the point of this DLX challenge ?

So what was the point of this challenge, its not challenging and it’s not fun either. The post read “ it will test the skills of the most skillful summoners.” But I don’t see what skills are being used either. Doing the same fights over and over with a slight boost in health and attack.

When the challenge was announced i legit thought there will be a single quest with single Rol defenders path with boosted healthpools and attack some challenging node combos on each fight just like most players were asking kabam to do. But boy kabam screwed it big time. They instead decided to make the most boring event there is.

Even if they decided to go down this route, it should’ve been that whatever a player’s progression level they just need to do that difficulty but no you must complete all the lower difficulties as well.

Moreover you cannot autoplay it properly because there is a portal at the end of each path that goes two ways so you must select it after every few minutes. In addition, the the node combo is kind of niche on some of the fights and therefore you need to select a specific counter for the fights.

Kabam seriously dropped the ball on this…🫠

    I've explored 3 quests and I'm already sick of this. UC, Cav, TB and Paragon quests left to go. This is just painful man. Were 6 paths really necessary for the chapter 1 quests??? This is more of a test of patience and sanity rather than skill.

    Yea it’s filthy💀

    It does just feel a little lacking creativity. And for the autofight thing, I experienced that myself. I tried autofighting the first quest with a few tanky characters and came back to find my rank 4 Nimrod losing a 6 minute fight against the 3* WS

    Yea the nodes are pretty niche🫠

    To be honest, I m pretty sure even kabam is disappointed with this. They asked this "legend" guy to make a fun, smart quest, and he completely sold them out, it s not that this is boring to hell, Brutal s quest is copy paste of the basic quests, that are copy pasted from previous challenges (Shang Chi and Spider Ham if I remember correctly, and Knull just in structure, Knull was actually well thought and very fun).

    Fun in the Sun without the spot.

    I'm OK with rewards obtained more easily than expected. The format isn't great, but I'd rather do it over AQ. Could the few people that want punishing content make it more challenging themselves via champ selection?

    The title said it all "Brutal" side quest and it's a brutal grind to complete it. I'm like the play on word of the side quest, but could use less grind overall.

    This might be a stupid conspiracy theory but was the BrutalDLX difficulty supposed to have a different difficulty for each path? There are 6 paths and 6 difficulties. I would assume that would make more sense than having to do the entire Paragon difficulty in one go (because that's extremely boring and tedious)

    Also who's idea was it to make it so the Chapter 1 quests have 6 paths each? Literally nothing changes between the paths except a minor level increase on the champs

    I don't think Brutal is to blame for this in any type of way. First of, if he did come with this idea and Kabam didn't like it they would've simply not put it in the game, Kabam has final say in this, and it's on them

    Big chance Kabam came up with this structure and most likely the champs, and maybe asked Brutal for some ideas on nodes and stuff. Previous quests made in collaboration with content creators and such have had them pick out a champ, a few nodes, and Kabam kinda did the rest
    Maybe you re right, maybe I am, maybe is something else, we ll never know. Point is, if I was BrutalDLX, I would be pretty embarrassed to have this thing with my name on it out.

    It’s a Test of Patience.

    Don’t get me wrong tho it sucks
  • Gogeta91199Gogeta91199 Member Posts: 990 ★★★★

    You have 20 days to do this. I'm doing it when there's nothing else to do. Will probably do most of it on Sundays (no arena). I don't get this insane rush to finish everything day 1 then complain that the game is boring.

    Its not about that tbh, most players wouldn’t have minded if the fights were different. Completing it all in a day or taking 20 days is choice and usually people do it cuz of content drought or when they are near some crystals or they want to open the rewards asap( me: though haven’t done it yet)

    Maybe I’m wrong but isn’t this kinda suppose to be like a throwback to the realm of legends. That whole quest was based of patience and finding a few counters for things. This is literally an updated version of that. I enjoyed it. Yes it was a grind but to be able to play the game without having to memorize 30 different mechanics per fight was a nice change of pace.

    And you want people to stop? It's a forum. Discussion is what it's meant for.
    I didn't say stop at all actually. I just fail to see the negative for a fun Event that pays out decent Rewards.
