Useless node in WOW

What is with the bottom node?
It literally just takes you to the top and ends the quest.

I thought it would take me to HAM, nit just waste 10 or 15 of my energy. 🙁

Seriously though, it's a completely useless waste of energy. I don't understand why they even put it there, it gets you nothing.

I figured it would at least rake me to Ham so I could get a quick point at least, lol

@Kabam Miike why is that there?

That what was I thought too at first glance, but current it’s just spend 15 energy for absolutely nothing lol.

Its becuase you can't make a quest where all paths have gates. Since there's a gate on the two other paths, there's a path with no fights and you don't get anything.

The game team had this to say, and I'm paraphrasing:

The way our game works, the system requires a way to progress through the map without a gated path or it freaks out.

In summary, an oddity with the foundation our game lives on.

Honestly, if you had to do that, just make the Gauntlet cost 0 (that's ZERO) energy (or 1 if you just can't help it).

We've already been subjected to the energy for all the rest of the WOW fights, and the Gauntlet isn't *just* one fight, so make it cost less, especially if you're going to Bamboozle some people into going a path, that you've provided, that does absolutely nothing.

Bamboozle is not the correct word here as there is no trickery going on.

I simply used that word because someone in the thread already used that word to describe it.

Hmmmm …..maybe don’t design a map with all gated paths then .

Granted, the WoW guantlet is now locked so you can only use 7*s. The monkeys paw has 4 fingers left.

They didn't.... there is a path that takes you right to the end... or did you miss the point of the entire thread

Think they are saying that (without having to build in some “exit ramp” like that), every “intended, ie, meaningful” path has a gate.

And that maybe they “shouldn’t” be designing maps that ALL the paths/nodes (that you have to do) would all be behind a gate.

Not sure what the internal issues are that Jax are referring to.

But in general, if someone for some reason doesn’t realize that the EXIT button exist, this gives someone a way out of the map in case they don’t actually have any gate keys.
Otherwise they would have been stuck, and coming to forum to complain about it.

If that is the case, they could had place a gate where nobody could enter and no energy is spent unless you could pass the gate.

How many millions of dollars would that need to get solved? Alternatively, give everyone some free energy each month to be fair 🙌

Not gonna lie, it was annoying but hopefully people see this and don't make the same mistake some of us did. 😆

You don't have to use only 7s. The left path only requires 2, and the right only requires 1.

Nightheart

It means if you were going on a date she played an April Fool on you OP. Just like in WOW she took a different path and went the other way so now you are left with the empty path.

To even it out they could have realistically lowered the energy per step to 3 or 4 to account for those extra steps. But 0 or 1 was never going to happen when it's been 5 all event.

So wouldn’t the logical way around this be to make the team selection requirement to enter the quest be to contain 1 x 7* and have a single gate that requires 2 x 7*

Wow, that's a bit of a joke isn't it. Every week leading up to this could be done with any rarity biut you cannot do the last week unless you've got 7*s ... makes perfect sense 🤦‍♂️
