I don’t understand this goddamn side quest

Am I supposed to explore the Maze or not?

It appears, AFTER LEARNING AT MY OWN EXPENSE, that I am only supposed to get the keys from the Maze?

So the other paths exist for what reason? To throw you off and try to get you to lose keys?

Kabam do you realize that you are making us go through hoops, and hoops, and more hoops when you do stuff like this?

It’s confusing. One mistake and I’ve lost out on max rewards … I have enough AGs but just the principle of the matter.

I won’t continue this SQ. Please go back to making things simple, or at least CLEAR ENOUGH for us to navigate our way successfully.

Collect keys from maze, explore vault

Your explanation is what keeping things simple means.

I didn’t understand anything from that convoluted mess of an SQ description.

Rookiie

I suppose it lies in here: there are warnings about spreading your Maze entries across different threat levels, but no warnings about the MAZE ITSELF.

If I go through a path in maze and get the key complete the quest, will the key from that path disappear or can I redo the same path for keys?

Rookiie

It will disappear. Good question, also not clear in the description.

Do solo objective(collect keys- 4 ) - > do maze (collect keys 4) -> do the other quest ( 4 paths - 4 keys)

Rest u will get the path rewards. Don't quit after entering or key lost. It's that simple lol

Double_Helix

There are 6 paths leading to 4 keys, though, so maybe not quite that simple. Totally possible to take a wrong path and miss a key.

OldManHop

I got 3 of the 4 keys, then, on the final pass, I exited to Team Select (without moving from the starting point) and muscle-memory clicked past the warning... womp womp, Pawn Key burned.

Fingers crossed that support doesn't tell me to kick rocks.

Best title for a post lol... so much anger

I was planning not to say that last Month's side quest was as confusing as it can get but this month's side quest takes home the bacon (I'm a carnivore when it comes to diet so I'm using bacon in a very derogatory way right now).

To add insult to injury:
1. Why does the map have to be unmovable? How do we know where the key is supposed to be located if we cannot move the map? This is utterly mind-boggling how something completely unnecessary had to be used as a map mechanic. I mean, for the sake of all that is good, if you're putting things to make them more difficult for no logical reason then leave it alone and let us move the map around.
2. Why are champs filtered for a side quest? I can understand doing a filter for special events for a quest limiting the champs you can use, but limiting champs for a regular side quest shows how game design and planning incorporates tremendous disdain towards and bias against those who have much smaller rosters. This is truly not cool at all.
3. If you're going to make things this tyrannically difficult then at the very least you can allow free re-entry so we can try again (we will lose the key anyway once we complete it.)
4. Trader's Outpost rewards are still SUBPAR SUBPAR SUBPAR. Not a single 7* shard or a single bit of T6CC even for Paragons.

I don't know what's happening with the team designing these side quests. Please do something, for real.

The game mechanic's for this month's side quest shows very little love for the 90% of your player base, not gonna lie.

Rookiie

Yeah @Valroz thanks for your contribution
This month’s SQ is absolute BS - *BRAND NEW* smh

Here's what i did:

1) collect keys

2) run The Maze 4 times, carefully studying where I wanted to go. Collect 4 more key things. (no screenshot, wouldn't help)

3) run Rooks Vault, beat Storm 4 times.

Pro tip: u need to run it 5x and use the direct exit once to get this:

That gets you this:

Repeat 3x more. Collect rewards. The End.

Rookiie

Jesus - it’s like there are traps
Also
@klobberintyme and @ItsClobberinTime are you both the same person?

And no.

Use this key to get another key which leads to other keys...bluh bluh..not bothering with this SQ...rewards ain't worth anyway

Fingers crossed that support doesn't tell me to kick rocks.

Follow-up: Support did NOT tell me to kick rocks, but instead restored my key and were very kind. I'm a happy summoner.

I liked the rifts from two months ago. I got pretty lucky with the amount of 7* shards but I just like how simple those SQs are

This new Side Quest swallowed my revive portions

Nusbaum

I read the solo objectives and thought I needed to fully explore the paths, and I wasn’t able to tell that there were dummy paths because the screen locks on where you are. This was meant to screw us out of any possibility of getting any of the solo objectives because you can’t get more Rook keys. Now all I can do is fully explore knight, king, and queen vaults. Can’t fully explore all of them for rewards. What a bad side quest

Rookiie

Same happened to me even though Kabam support gave me back only one of my two keys @Nusbaum

So poorly designed. I hope Kabam compensate us all with one key.

Hate these step by step one misstep you lose out style side quests I don’t have the time patience to study every single little subtext of the game to get rewards

It's unnecessarily complicated and the screen-lock is pointless and only serves to frustrate someone accidentally messing up.
