Is act 6 too easy now?

Kontestman

I feel like the majority of forum complains have been on act 6 and mainly hardstuck cav players crying because they got a stuck on a boss and instead of keep trying or look up stuff on the boss they come on the forums to whine. I enjoy act 6 im currently on my way to finishing chapter 3. Some quest and nodes have been the most fun I’ve had on this game. I honestly have been trying to use my 5* more then 6* for a more authentic experience. I think it is Kabam’s magnum opus of story content. Because it provided a good challenge while still being semi easy. I think are some parts that could definitely should be a bit harder and definitely parts that could be a bit easier. So the answer to my question is no. It is a almost perfectly balanced piece of content and I just came here to gush about it. Now that’s not to say the new acts are bad but so far act 6 is my favorite. But I still have a while to go.

I agree that I think now it’s pretty balanced in terms of difficulty, and now that 1-4* are allowed in act 6 the problem of needing very specific counters (mainly just 6.2.2 sinister lol) for fights has been fixed too.

What’s too easy now is act 5. It didn’t need a nerf in the slightest. Now new players get thrown right into the challenge of act 6 without any preparation or skill development from act 5. Masochism in 5.2.4 made me learn to stop parrying so much and instead bait heavies & intercept. This was a huge help for nodes like do not go gentle in act 6 where intercepts are mostly necessary.

That’s why you see so many complaints from cavs about act 6. They weren’t forced to gradually joke their skills in act 5 and were sent straight into the challenge of act 6. But let’s be honest, act 5 nerf was an excuse to nerd revive farms.

Try act 6 with 5* r4s / 6* r1s like the Ogs did. Then tell me how was it.

I don’t think so. You still need the right counter to some fights

There are still some incredibly punishing/very tedious nodes to play around. I will never go back lol.

Not sure about too easy but its definetly too tedious. Never will explore it.

I would like you to attempt act 6 like when it was first dropped. Ofcourse you cannot replicate the pre nerf fights but try doing it with only a limited pool of 5 stars and 6* rank 2s.
I remember when I went into act 6 and didn't even have the essential synergy champs to make some matchups work, I used to take my Blade Trinity or ghost with wasp but all the 4* stars went away and I did even have a Heimdall for the sinister fight

I think when I actually do go explore it, I may actually do this just for fun, nostalgia factor, and I probably did completion of 6.4 way later than alot of people, and I know champion boss had been nerfed by the time I attempted him back in those days.

Actually it should be a lot easier nowadays with the 7 stars, strikers, new champs, etc.

It’s definitely too easy now.

It depends on your roster and whether you have ranked up the right champs for certain fights. Til now, I remember the super challenging fights in 6.3.1 against Black Bolt and Medusa due to nodes Lifecycle and Do You Bleed. Back then only had 5 stars. Looking back it has improved my skills and confidence but I still remembered being stuck in those fights.

For sure it would be. That's why I'm thinking about using 5* and maybe nothing more than 6* r2 and such, also without using super op new champs because going back to explore it nowadays eith what we have would be way too simple and boring.

The answer is

No

No I don't think it's too easy but definitely easier after the changes
