Reworking act 6 in the future?

Hey everyone! I'm kinda curious for your thoughts and opinions on this, but do you guys think that Kabam will "rework" Act 6 like they did for the other earlier acts?

For context, they made it so in act 5, a lower tier champion would have a higher node (300%extra health as an example)

Again, just curious!

(Also what exactly happened to Lunar new Year event? Is there going to be one?)

What we have is a nerf version of Act 6 lol

(There is no lunar new year event this year)

Act 6 has been nerfed 3 times already

MrTreeman

Has it really?

I know it’s hard to believe, but yes Act 6 used to be significantly more stupid. Never mind that when Act 6 released there was significantly less powerful options available to us to clear the content with. As an example, 6.2.2 Sinister used to inflict you with passive shocks for triggering buffs in addition to the existing node that requires you to have a fury buff to deal meaningful damage.

Act 6 has already been nerf twice !

I'm waiting for some R4s to go back and collect the leftover units in Act 6. It's the only Act I haven't explored 100%.
But the problem is, even if you have R3s or R4s, some nodes just don't care. You either have the one specific champ that deals with that node and opponent or you deal zero damage and die. It's really way more about having all the required champs and synergies than anything else.

It's been done 3 times. If they do it again, I vote for the original to come back.

MrTreeman

How was the original version of act 6?? Much higher power?

ahmynuts

Much higher bs (and fun ngl)

RottenSwamps

Bro said a fact and then added a fun fact at the bottom

Demonzfyre

Yes. Attack was higher. But crossbones was different. Sinister was different. 6.6.4 was different. 4*'s and below weren't allowed. Capiw was different.

ThatGuyYouSaw235

can't forget the man the myth and she hulk's fun killer the champion of 6.2.6 himself

Buttehrs

Don't forget that champion boss didn't have 3 indestructible that carried over from one fight to the next. If you messed up, you started over.

And 5* were the rage for act 6

EdisonLaw

I still remember you could stun lock Cap IW using Ronan back then

If act 6 wasn’t in place, act 7 & 8 would feel as straightforward, you learn a lot in act 6 that prepares you for what’s ahead.

And I still remember being a noob and wondering why my Ronin wasn't stun locking him after everyone saying he was the best.

Off the top of my head, higher stats, more nodes, no champion swaps, harder fights, rarity restrictions, more gates, and higher energy costs. It's practically unrecognizable as the original at this point

Demonzfyre

I think it was 5 originally right? And like a handful of champs that could do it.

Gamer

Yes 5 in totalt. And had to start over ever time

And I'm not happy with what they did with acts 1-5. Yes, they compensated for them (they kind of did), but excuse me, why the hell did you delete chapters from them? You focused on new players in the hope that it would bring user growth, but it didn't work. If a person is not interested in playing, then they will not, even if everything is done there with a click from Thanos. Instead, new players just stupidly get 5,6 and 7, and the champion pools without doing anything, while real tanks and arenas gnawed branches and scratched arenas to earn units and complete legitimate challenging content for beginners. This aroused real interest. And not this easy-to-write and you have 7 kbps already from the start.

Del.

The only fight where I actually raged was acid wash Mysterio.

Went into old act 4.3.5 magik quest to farm refills followed by 4.1.6 black widow to farm revives.

Took me good 10-12 revives with ghost to clear it.

Chiicc

Been nerfed 3 times as well as TB able to be got without having to do grandmaster. Or even fight at all for that matter. Yall get the TB rewards long before accomplishing actual old school TB. It’s wild to think of another nerf.

captain_rogers

Symbiote supreme and doom alone tbh, and she hulk if you're crazy enough.

Average_Desi

Not to mention the shehulk heavy nerf because of msd (yes,fix,but eh) . And Morningstar heal change. Truly a meta defining fight

Usagicassidy

There's still *no* reason to explore Act 6, no matter how many times it's been nerfed.

Demonzfyre

But it was the first fight where it really challenged you.
