Do you think "Epoch" is fun?

I'm interested to see how many players like this type of content ✌🏻

It's really fun, I just don't have enough resources saved to do more than 2 paths a month

Not really a fan of long form content so not gonna judge

Gamer

The first 3 path for me was horrible I getting older so harder to learn but the 4 run i managed most of the sp just couldn’t do the phess 3 mechanics that’s well enough but i just backed of

Nope, badly design, they knew it should have a visual help (they even mentioned it in the stream), the constant flashing of the weapon is of no help... you have the node, the phases (with their own mini games) and the special mini games...weapon flashing, information overload... E N O U G H!!

Voted no, but actually I do find it fun. Ares fight design aside, I think these kind of gauntlet runs enjoyable. As for Ares, potential for a fun fight is there, but imo, the flaws of the fight outweigh the fun. Apparently, the last phase is bugged which adds on the rest of the shenanigans

Ares is fun
The rest of the paths aren’t

Did they actually say that in the stream?

I only remember the designer mentioning there wouldn't be anything on the hud

Quest not too bad, energy cost is too much though I think

Hulk808

Beaten him 5 times already and there was never a point where I thought he was fun. Even though he gets easier each time you fight him, there is nothing fun about him. Lol

Hulk808

The paths leading up to him were fun though.

Well, but its not called the "Epoch of Fun" anyway

TheInfinty

Outside the anihilus fight i took i greatly enjoyed the path i took. Ares well challenging was pretty fun for me too

Yup, they said they thought about it and decided to not do it…

Liked the path… probably would like other paths. But I am one and done with Ares.

Dr. Crab

I like Ares, hated (deeply) most of the paths.

Interesting, thanks to all of you who took the time to share your opinions on this poll.

I personally see Epoch as a whole: 6 Paths and 6 Boss fights. However I understand if some of you feel the need to see Paths and Boss fights as two separate things.

I know difficulty level and rewards play a huge factor in our opinions... feeling we have accomplished or failed something, rewards being worth our time and effort or not...
However, I've been recently asking myself this question: If I leave those aspects aside, would I still play this type of content because it's fun?

For me the answer is no. Glad to see some of you are actually enjoying Epoch, good luck on your runs everyone! 💪🏻

Hell yeah it’s fun I was absolutely trash and didn’t even complete a single special. Nevertheless I found it fun despite the agony of ares

MrSanguini

Ares is awesome. Paths are dogwater. I would rather just fight a stronger Ares for the rewards than slog through awful path fights again

TheUglyone123

Paths tilted me hard. I was excited every time I got to ares.

I disagree with you poll. I wouldn't call Epoch of Pain "longform content."

6 fights + Boss is same length is normal questing. Fights themselves take a little longer, but not drastically so.

Heck, it is more like a souped up version of SoS/AoA/WoW gauntlet, and no one calls that longform content.

I respect your point of view bro.

I honestly don't have the will to do any fight that takes more than 3min long, I get bored easily as it becomes repetitive and tedious. This said, Epoch is easily long form content from my perspective.

Potatoslice500

I like long form, just not ares

DannyB01

I’m quite enjoying it. It’s tough but achievable, and the health pools are much more fun that necropolis. One path to go for exploration.

Manbatn

I meant to hit yes. The only problem I had was with ares ai hiding behind his block 80% of the fight all 6 times I fought him.

DerpyEagle

Let’s be honest….the rewards are carrying Epoch. This might seem like a dumb statement but if the rewards weren’t leagues above what we’ve ever seen this quest would be the most hated thing ever.

Ares is fun,
Path fights are ass, heard Kebem doubled the HP of path fights from usual. 😀

Why? Aren't they confident in their hard boss Ares?

Diablord

Mine was a bit of a revive-fest (19 in total).
This is my first actual long form content ever (excluding LoL and RoL), so it was definitely new to me.

I had fought some of the fights previously too, so i had some mechanics memorised.'
Though i ended up using LOOOT of revives, ares was a genuinely fun boss.
After the first 10? or so revives? i got the hand of his specials, and ended up finsihing the fights, from phase 3 of his onwards.
