Act 8.3 thoughts

captain_rogers

What y'all think about act 8.3? I did my initial completion and I appreciate kabam for the well design of nodes. Every path is fun, if you use the correct counters demanded by the nodes. I believe kabam achieved the quality over quantity they had promised.
But I honestly believe that 8.3 is way too easier. If they introduce paragon eq in the future, it would be way more tougher than 8.3. 8.3 is the easiest chapter Since act 5. Also most of us who can play 8.3 have great 6* r4s/r5s and few 7*s, which made it even less challenging. Ceratius boss is way easier than hulk or black widow (last 5% is a joke, you don't need to bring your best mutant or play pingpong, just dex attacks for 16 seconds).What y'all think? Did you enjoyed act 8?

On a side note, got these bad guys. How are they? Is fantaman r4 worthy?

8.3 was extremely easy (im not complaining because it was really fun but also could've been more interesting) Cerastes is one of if not the most fun bosses in the game too.

Also Fantman is amazing, definitely worth r4 and Titania is a beast

Not much fun on my side ngl.

I would love to see really specific nodes that'd ask for really specific champs to deal with. The 3 paths format is cool if you wanna have the rewards quickly but i think the 6paths one was better cause it would be a bit longer so i dont get bored right away (yes im not in the obligation to rush the content but i aint doing much during the whole month apart EQ SQ and BG)

Hopefully the 8.4 will be reallyy challenging !!

Some of the past with the weapon nodes and stuff i had a blast with. Sometimes it's just fun to watch your opponent get deleted lol

Suuuuuper easy. There's an unduped thing boss somewhere. UNDUPED. This is content made for people that play with their nose instead of their fingers lol

Yeah Even i was surprised too. If they are going to place thing as boss, why unduped? Black cat just destroyed him

Wasn’t too bad except cerastes. Good job kabam.

Didn't Kabam mention that story content is not the "end game" any more, and that it should not be hard?

Yes, but now there's hardly any "end game" content left. EQ is easy, LoL and Abyss aren't really endgame anymore (maybe Abyss is), but are super outdated, EoP doesn't take long unless you're doing Carinas...

Thats why I've advocated for story content being hard again. Shortening it to 3 paths and making it super easy is a bad call. I know they're pushing for people to do BGs, but that's practically all there is to do anymore. It's frustrating.

In any mobile game I've ever played story isn't supposed to be this massive gate of difficulty. It's supposed to be a place where you can enjoy a story. But they have also said that the next abyss style is coming soon as well.

We’ve learnt that story content is just glorified eq. Literally every path is a relic path and the Cerastes boss is so uninspired. I literally purposely quit out with my herc on the fight because yes it is herc’able and then did the final phase with a 5* unlevelled odin because of how stupid it is. It’s like the grandmaster last phase except way easier, on intercepts you can get a whole 5 combo in there and hes not even infuriated, he literally holds block half of the time. Other than the last phase if the ai doesnt cooperate and wastes time it just resets your progress. It is certainly more forgiving than Bahamut without a counter though. I appreciate the 3 paths per quest and the bosses were all fun. I just wish they would up the difficulty and rewards more at the same time. I felt like falling asleep on some of the paths just repeating the same thing on every fight. Rewards were good overall.

I agree 8.3 was very easy. especially after doing the carina 7* challenge where I didn’t have a perfect counter to every node and boss. But a lot of the people that are completing it right away are the people at the highest lvl of progression. I’m okay with story content being fun over stupidly hard like act 6 use to be. I’d rather have the hard content be something more optional like EOP or some new abyss content.
