This quest is a big ol’ revive dump for 90% of players who don’t have endless units and revives… endgame or not. Why would Kabam make Ares main challenge be to dex, parry, light attack or swipe up on each hit of his special attacks when the game has the worst lagging, freezing & input issues that it’s ever had?… This, along with his special attacks alternating randomly between special 1 and special 2, no matter if he has 1 or 2 bars of power, and the fact that they alternate in speed aswell… this makes it damn near impossible to ‘learn’ or even get used to because even if you play decently… the screen will freeze or lag, and it will cut to you being combo’d and hit because you can’t time your actions with these bugs completely throwing off the timing, or just preventing the game from registering your actions / input at all.
The entire quest is challenging enough paired with these bugs… but the final phase of the Ares fight is the longest and clearest revive dump yet… when you revive dump his down to 1% HP, you have to intercept him like 50 times with TERRIBLE AI to finally defeat him. Somehow this is the safer option because trying to dodge Ares’ random special attacks whilst lagging is impossible. Nobody but spenders or people who spend hours everyday in arena can revive dump through this reliably…
Yet another piece of content that feels like a chore and lacks any possible enjoyment or satisfaction for anyone who want a challenging, but fair quest for some nice rewards. When will Kabam learn that it isn’t fun for players to waste time out of their lives, waiting and grinding for 50-100 revives for each path of an unenjoyable price of content… I don’t even understand why whales spend so much on a game that disregards gameplay bugs to this extent. I don’t remember the last time a legit fun piece of content was made. All content is just for whales, and MSD level sweats now 💀 super tired of this.
