My biggest 9.2 beta feedback

Normax_X

Waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy tooooo maaanyyy noooodessss especially the scourge ones that have 6 of them:
1- what scourge does
2- what scourge also does
3- how they gain scourge
4- how to remove some scourge
5- how to remove ALL scourge
6- Random other node
+ you have to read 3 bosses to see what fits best with what path you take depending on the team it makes you bring



Its not even the reading thats the annoying part, its having to remember the ways to gain, pause, remove, and eradicate scourge AND what they do if they're on the defender AND the random extra node AND your abilities AND how everything interacts with the defender's abilities. there has to be some way to fix this because story is just becoming a chore to do

i agree, that was my biggest problem with 9.1 too. story used to be my favorite content to do but act 9 has just been too complicated and tedious in my opinion

Was/is your fights incredibly rocky/jerky at times?

i assumed that was just me being used to 60fps now but yh it feels more choppy than 30fps

MrSakuragi

The scourge nodes requiring a well timed block to remove in conjunction with a node that alternates unblockable/unstoppable can **** right off.

Perfect_jab

I agree too. The defender gains scourge way to fast. Heavy to remove , but i feel like i have to heavy constantly. An its because of the other buffs added with it. Then its some of the champs they put with them make these pain points. Then throw in bugs an the way the defender AI acts. Definitely takes away the fun. I enjoyed 9.1

Perfect_jab

Also adding, that 5% might as well be 50% in kabam logic. Soon as defender has 2 or 3 scourge its autoblock 100% of time or unblockable after every hit. Come on. Do better

Furrymoosen

Scourge nodes are the absolute worst. Paradox and weapon nodes were enjoyable and you gained a benefit when utilizing them properly. Though they did add some benefit to scourge nodes this time around, it isn't enough to justify how absolutely terrible they are. Death to scourge nodes.

Midnightfox

Mine is the lag and the absolute slogfest of long boring fights.

Unyonface

Mine is the dropped inputs and defender hitting through my block as if my block doesn’t exist…

Please. Stop. Putting. Bane. In. The. Game.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

I really like 9.2 beta, it is challenging sometimes, but that's what we want from story mode. I like the route Kabam is taking with this.

Ashacekar

That's why i just wait for mcoc noob yt to figure it out. Though my random combinations have a good success rate but i also can't read all of that.

ThatGuyYouSaw235

I hated that 9.2 shuri fight. Not only must you knock her down and trigger Newton's law so you remove the damage limiter, plus not hit her for like 5 seconds because of the Auto Block, plus you need to pray the AI doesn't do anything wonky when you go in to intercept, after which point you have to knock her down again cause the shield is back up. Rinse and repeat.

Nodes are fine , if u use champ that favours the node it's ok .

I want 9.2 to be a little challenging so it would be memorable like act 6 , not like act 7,8 most just cruise through .

it's the ai that's trouble for me - it gets passive when I need to intercept or hit him to lower scourge charge .

captain_rogers

Same as 9.1. Huge healthpools nd 10 min fights

9.1 Scourge Nodes are fine, some of them are more easy than others, specifically how you remove them, some of them were a bit more tricky.

That was the most fun I had in book 2 everything else is just to easy , the amount of nodes just give us more reason to rank up different champions and to learn new stuff , you're asking kabam to make the game easier, when they are clearly trying to give us something challenging and satisfactory to beat ,act 9.1 was so disappointing and fast to explore , and I didn't felt like I was accomplishing anything .
This time I still playing the beta and having fun , and want to play more and learn more about several paths before the release.
The game won't go anywhere if they make endgame content easier than the rest.

Scourge nodes just sucks weapon nodes were so much better in 9.2 the defenders just gain them way too fast plus ai is still bad and all bosses feel rather annoying with their node combination

Dont forget about way too many protection nodes

Yup ai is really making the content feel more annoying and fights feel way more longer due to it being passive

Started it, got through a couple of fights and stopped. This content is only worth doing once for worthwhile rewards. Definitely not just 7 star shards.

Scourge nodes and these health pools have taken all the fun out of story content for me. As stated elsewhere in this thread, bring back weapon nodes. Scourge is pure punishment.. let us enjoy the game.

Asher1_1

People now don't want any challenge, they just want ez reward 🤷 & a challenge is not fun for them.

Get stuck -> rankup counter -> clear content

I don’t see any complaints here about not having the right champs - only complaints about the nodes being poorly constructed. Is there a rank up on the bench that bypasses all scourge nodes?

You got it totally right there's none that can bypass everything, and that's why it's a good addition to the game gives us a reason to rank up more champs or to just use a champ you already have ranked up and don't use very often, I already have a few champions to rank up after clearing it and I still have 4 more maps to explore , way you guys talk looks like there's no reason for kabam to try new stuff , imagine how boring the game would be.

I appreciate the challenge. It's def a step up from previous acts. I don't see why the champs need to have 900k+ HP. There's no challenge to that. It's just grindy. I wouldn't mind a slight tuning done to some of the bosses i.e. that Rintrah boss. Dropping 120k sp2 doesn't even do 10% 🤣. That fight is hard enough to get a good opening. Making the fight 15 mins long is not challenging or a "rank up issue"

People want challenge but not same nodes like i entered 9.2 beta and every quest has a protection node that only gets removed via a striker if a certain effect like buffs bleed heal block etc its just bad design not every quest should have protection nodes especially with health pools being this big sure every other quest can but not every quest as it doesnt make it a challenge its more tedious than anything which makes it unfun. They did a good job at making challenging quests in 9.1 with the whiffing needing to spam specials because power gain node from scourge they had the pierce and u had to intercept to remove them

absolutely not asking for easier. did i say its hard? no. if anything its still too easy and unmemorable, its just a chore to get through the nodes to understand what u have to do to beat the fight. u can very much make content hard like back in act6 without putting 6-7 nodes and having to scroll to read them. there is SIGNIFICANTLY more reading than act6 yet its easier and more boring, ur telling me 9.2 will be memorable? how is a quest memorable when theres 6 nodes per path, and 6 nodes per boss, for each of the 6 quests.

scourge arent a challenge, they dont need a counter lol scourge u can do with groot, the nodes arent "hard" the nodes are boring and obnoxious to understand and long to read for an unmemorable quest in the end. theres 0 ranking requirement for 90% of story content u can do everything with herc if u want u just have to read an article of list of nodes
