Doesn't help that the monthly side quests are so bland and follow the EXACT same "drop in collect token then drop into other quest with tiny rewards" and the mysterium store is so bs
I hate that store. Now we are so limited on the resources we can get and the purchase limit is so annoying. We cant even buy the stuff we want so the mysterium just overflows or you can waste it on bs you dont want.
Just the fact that EQ is at paragon level is insane. They obviously work on this every month introducing the new champs but will not update it. Like c'mon we are at valiant now. Lets at least get it to paragon.
What's the issue then? That's always how this game has gone on every month for 10 years now. BGs is the only new thing and that's over 2 years old now too. Well most likely have seasons of pain etc again.
EQ and SQ haven’t been relevant for 10 years? Come on. Even crashed said it’s unacceptable where that stuff is. If EQ and SQ were relevant like they used to be, I wouldn’t have mentioned it. The problem isn’t that they exist… it’s that they are pointless.
They made it irrelevant by not updating it. I would hardly say SQ is irrelevant, it just take a long time to come out. Everyone hops on an mashes it as soon as it available. I would say SQ is the only thing that's actually fun anymore for people that don't like this long form BS they keep throwing out. I actually feel like most people don't actually like it as much as you think. Its just the only thing to do. It seems like it just created for the elites and people with YouTube channels. Most people do like 1 lane just to get completion reward and then it sucked so bad they never want to do it again and the content just sits.
Sorry I meant Story mode not SQ, we need more side stuff at this difficulty. Its just fun and you get worthy rewards.
AQ is just stale. So many alliances do it but nobody enjoys it we just push to do it for the glory. Kind of how I feel doing Everest content. I really like the rewards but its a chore. It need at least some of the newer champs in it and should have the time extended like War to 2 days and rewards doubled so you aren't losing any if they don't want to update it.
I enjoy saga incursions. I like story content. I like EQ - used to 100% TB and paragauntlet…. Long after the rewards actually mattered. I make GC every season… so I don’t mind working through victory track.
Did all the EOP stuff this year. Had to buy two deathless pieces. Held my nose, but got Thanos awakened (only the second time I touched necro).. Really liked Crucible. And I grind arena milestones to just to chill at the end of the day and over breakfast.
So… does that make my criticism legit now? I doubt it will to all the “disagrees” out there… but there it is.
Bg off-season - some casual free time War off-season - some free time No content to do just stack up your revives + potion & prep for your run .
Why do u need content after content ?? It will just create stress for kabam & players to catch-up & FOMO of doing it. It's a normal ez time just let it be .
Kabam & there Developer are also humans they also need time for there loved ones during valentine's.
“Content after content…”
Boy, you pummeled that strawman. He is down and out. Probably out of revives too. Well done.
“Just stack your revives for your run”
Again - some of us out here don’t find unitman enjoyable. If that’s what Kabam wants - MCOC EVEREST CONTENT OF CHAMPIONS- then let the rest of us know, and I will quit monetizing the game. Maybe that’s just what you want -who knows? For starters, It seems to contradict Kabam Crashed’s comments on monthly content being woefully behind what it should be… just sayin’
If u are not enjoying & not in the race then who is let me guess Who are in the prestige - they would like to spend money Who are in top aw alliance - they would like to spend money Who are in BG alliance - they would like to spend money
It's ok as small amount contribute to something. EQ + SQ + incursion + Arena + Endgame content evrything takes time effort to build but it takes few seconds to say not worth it.
If majority players haven't reached there so there is too much for players to do 🤷 isn't that contradict your point if someone haven't done story , carina challenge or even necro - they have way too much stacked up to do
Listen to him guys all you have to do is spend money and you'll find the game enjoyable 😯😯😯😯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Proof - dumb people exist .
He said he will quit monitizing - that's the point even small spender account to something like the platinum pass if more people buy it still becomes a significant amount.
There's a huge gap between Thronebreaker difficulty event quest and Epoch of Pain for valiants with nothing in between to fill the gap
Err, maybe try doing Act 8, Act 9, Necropolis, a bunch of the Carinas are easier than Epoch, Grandmaster's Gauntlet, Eternity of Pain, and I would say the Crucible is easier than Epoch looks to be.
If you're fully explored all of that, then yes there's nothing in between TBEQ and Epoch. But not because there's nothing to fill the gap, but rather because you've exhausted all the content in the gap.

Yeah, but that shouldn't be happening should it? A game is meant to be entertaining, and that means regularly pumping out content that the playerbase will enjoy. If you've exhausted all content for an extended period of time as an average to above-average player, that doesn't mean you're progressing too fast; it means the game isn't creating new content regularly enough.

But maybe it's this set flow of content that has kept it alive for 10 years...? And if they change anything, they might potentially run the risk of altering the steady trajectory they currently have
Let’s not forget the point of this game is just letting you have action over your favorite marvel characters. Just have fun and chill wherever you feel like.

Exactly this. The alternative is for Kabam to put up a banner after a certain point in your account that says - “you probably should consider creating an alt account if you still enjoy the game, because you are done here.”
BG’s can help fill the reasonable gaps when they occur (the EQ and SQ iterations aren’t reasonable), but you have to keep the rewards relevant. Even that is being neglected.
They are telling this same story of "EQ is stalr and we're working on it" Over a year now. I completely enjoy everest content unlike you, even if it was a mindless revive sink, But I understand, the game should cater to all players, and should update all areas in the game.
1 year already they introduced traders outpost and still no buff on it. But we got 3 new everest content already by then (crucible, necro challenge and epoch).

You're right about there being a flow, but it's just not a very good or consistent one. I can't speak for anyone else, but I think pumping new everest content once every year and a bit is definitely not enough, especially if there's basically no other forms of new content to keep the playerbase occupied. There has been a steady trajectory this past 10 years, it's just been much faster than what we have now
What's the issue then? That's always how this game has gone on every month for 10 years now. BGs is the only new thing and that's over 2 years old now too. Well most likely have seasons of pain etc again.
I started in April 2017. I think we had a lunar new year AND a romance quest of some sort every year. At a minimum we had one of those. This year? Nothing. Especially frustrating because those potions and units would be great to grab before diving into Ares.

I get 2 t6b and 2 t3a from the shop each week and that’s it. I can’t even get t6cc from the shop, much less t4a. I’ve got 18 r3 champs and I’ll be at 20 by the end of the weekend.
I get 21x 5% t6cc from the daily event, and 87% of a t4a every week (50% bg store, 15% glory, all the daily events)
I've been around since 2015, here since 2018 I think.
There was always some high-endgame content released, that majority of players couldn't do. There always had to be some chase for the best of the best. There is nothing wrong with that.
However, I agree that EQ is very much stale. The rewards we get from Paragon gauntlet can be gained every week from SQ. The only difference is, that Gauntlet requires exploring TB difficulty with obsolete rewards, whereas SQ can be completed within an hour.
Personally, I have decided to finish Act 6 exploration. I am a Valiant player and there's nothing better to do. I don't have the roster or skill to do high-endgame, so EoP isn't doable for me rn. I don't wanna explore Necro, and BGs (aka loading simulator) are not my cuppa - that's on me tho. Not a complaint. With Act 8+9.1 explored, the only way to widen my roster is DSE and SQ.
Basically what Kabam did, is they made 7* r3 widely available, and then they never released a reaonably hard content for them. On one hand you have high-endgame stuff that requires exceptional skill levels (or major investments), or you can do trivial content. Nothing between these two.

Yeah, in a perfect world everyone would have content designed just for them, that would be entertaining specifically to them. But in the real world, no game studio can devote that much time to every 1% slice of their player population.
Plus, this whole notion of "games are meant to be entertaining" is backwards. Games aren't meant to be entertaining. You're meant to find the games that are entertaining to you. Is Chess entertaining? Is soccer? Is cribbage, ping pong, baseball, gin rummy, RISK, water polo, Space Invaders, Go? When you say a game is meant to be entertaining, do you specifically mean all games everywhere must be entertaining to you all of the time?
More than 99% of all the games ever invented I don't find particularly entertaining. More than 99% of all video games ever created I don't find particularly entertaining. But that's not because most games are broken. Some of them are, because almost no one likes them. But most are entertaining to some, and not to others.
