Zola EQ is the Streak Breaker EQ

Failing a last minute bout of madness, this will be the first EQ I haven’t explored since…well, somewhere around the beginning of EQs as a thing.

I say this without exaggeration: I can’t recall a single instance of not fully exploring for at least several years. There were, of course, months where I explored two and even three difficulties. Perhaps I missed one years ago—I’m sure the data is there somewhere.

All of this comes to mind after popping in to take a look at what I’m missing:





Sure, there’s the Paragauntlet (which should just be open without requiring EQ), but that’s starting to look less like a stopgap measure. No one suggests an Epoch of Pain level of difficulty every month, but the failure to make monthly EQ compelling should disappoint the team as much as it does Summoners.

    Personally, I think auto-running the contender thru UC levels are a better ROI than "upper level" EQ due to the units

    This is a great move I didn’t think of.
    If you have extra energy it’s free units.

    Thanks for this tip.

    Only reason why I’m doing a full clear is for the ascension dust, I’m trying to take Kushala up to the moon ever since I got her, so this will be the first ( and only ) time I do it, most times I never even clear it once

    I did it last month to see what the Paragauntlet rewards were. I was disappointed, do I'm not gonna do it again until they add a Valiant level.

    Who are you trying to use?

    This dude’s video is pretty good. I used Hulk because he’s my best/highest champ.

    Super awesome that you guys are so great.

    We’re trying to help op get through.
    Any insight on that?

    Funny that people are asking about another progression title when we don't even have paragon eq, let alone valiant eq. And no, the gauntlet is not paragon difficulty; if it was then paragons and above should have access to it without slogging through the mediocre snooze fest that is tb difficulty.

    Outdated rewards, outdated game modes, outdated difficulty levels… only thing that’s been updated are the heroes and they come up with bugs.

    Thought for sure you, of all people, would want to fully complete this EQ. It features your namesake after all.

    I got this one done, but skipped last month’s. Just couldn’t be bothered with it.

    Terrible rewards for a piece of content designed for end game players.

    Kabam are losing their grip on the most loyal players.

    I haven't touched an EQ in like 2 years. And I've never been happier.

    Same here... o:) the game is at a stage now where everyone can get resources from one place or the other...and I like that...

    I do it, but only because I always have energy refills in my overflow and I trust new rankups.
    And ascension dust. Need more ascension dust.

    You and @rcm2017 are the wise ones then. I’ve been saying “this is my last one” for about 6 months, and then I get bored and do it anyway.

    In some ways, it’s a fitting one to break my streak, no?

    That’s something, by the way, that should get some recognition in game (and not just for me)—if you’ve explored, say, 60 or 72 or more consecutive EQs, that ought to be worth at least an emote, or profile or a crappy little title.

    In my opinion, loyalty to the day-in/day-out grind of the game over long stretches is barely recognized. Perhaps Summoner time really isn’t relevant in any respect?😉

    Isn’t that what the Veteran tag was for? 🙄

    It’s actually my favourite part. You kind of learn how to fight new champs.

    Im actively not interested in EQ. I believe this will be the first active month i dont participate in eq ever. I generally burn out when rewards get so stale i cant justify the time invested. Because TIME IS ALSO CURRENCY which we keep telling them but they dont care enough to change some digital coding once every 3-4 months to keep people engaged they just throw mini whale events to keep the money flowing every other month between the big pay day holidays. But. Ignoring the little things (and somehow the big things) will continue to cause a trickle effect and they will start seeing bigger deficits in spending. I suppose we gave too much money in the past and now its clogging the higher ups ears. The mods and media crew arent to blame. Many of them are players too.

    I only ever do a completion run of the EQ to get the story. It's usually similar every month but the dialogue gets me to LOL multiple times and that alone is worth it.
