New changes For Raids & Aq

Really Appreciate that they updated Raids and it's rewards along with difficulty which I am feeling gonna painful with revives recent cut

But Aq rewards doesn't seem to be changed 🥲
Glory store need to be buff along with rank rewards of aq

Change of Bosses in Aq along with Saga is good move but seriously rewards of aq needed update more than raids

What u guys think abt new Raid map let me know your thoughts.

A monotonous mode with frequent updates to rewards would be far preferable to frequent map updates with monotonous rewards.

Nightmare raids look interesting, and the rewards boost there is nice. It'll be hard to gauge depending on the bugs it comes with though.

Raids I need to wait and see but continuing to receive T5B and T2A as the exploration reward in 2025 is top tier banter.

I don't understand how this game functions sometimes.
In order to get better rewards you need to go to a more challenging version (nightmare) and making this new challenging version lowers the difficulty of the actual version available and also improves the rewards of the easier version.
Something doesn't add up to me.

Its nice change boss wise will see to me first glance is just hell more mainly due to korg and weapon x are just 2 annoying defenders that i personally hate fighting without a lady d or someone with energy hits

Nahhh they meant what they said. aq rewards need an update for years. Glory got attention more recently than aq rewards besides added was raid tickets for 100% in map6 and up. Getting t2 alpha t5 basic petty shards is wild for map 6,7,8 that we have done

Just addition of map 6 and up raids tickets. And last reward update was trash. Feels like it gets an upgrade twice in 7 years lol

I got to say, I’m already annoyed by the current explosion of new terminology associated with raids and it seems like it’s getting worse. I didn’t spend 15 minutes to decode the language and interpret how the fights might actually feel, but the general vibe I got from the nightmare description is that it might really suck.

Rewards are better, still not great. Especially if these fights are annoying as they sound:

Exactly you want more, suffer.
Meanwhile old mode gets easier and gets more just for no reason. Yay

Honestly I've stopped caring now,
If Kebem want the gamemode to go down and under then so be it.

Once again they proved that it's not in their ability to buff rewards without giving another difficulty, which mind you will be insanely tuned up despite the raids revives count nerf plus the tradition of new content launching with bugs will continue as well.

Because their only focus is buffing deals, not interested in anything else. They are the same today, forever, and tomorrow. Terrible company!

It's laughable that current standard AQ rewards consist of t5b t2a and fractions of t5cc and still don't get updated, looks like kabam thinks that we should play standard AQ just to get tickets for the raids and get some glory to buy a small portion of overpriced t4a lol. Do they actually play the game and look at rewards when playing it?

So from the perspective a chill alliance…. The regular raids are supposed to be more approachable to join because you just ramp faster? Well, uh, ok. Don’t see that drawing in a bunch of new alliances. I have basically checked out on all things raids after the first launch. All I have seen since is something about revive nerfs, cost of tickets vs RNG rewards that leave people salty, etc.

I’d argue if you wanted to make it approachable you need free entry weekly raids, with lower difficulty for just some glory rewards (instead of dead AQ). This would let low intensity alliances figure out the format and who can do what to figure how the mode and fights work. Then those alliances can jump into regular raids or even advance to nightmare raids once they know how it works and who in their alliance is interested. Just making a harder difficulty and saying the current mode is more approachable because of some mechanic most alliances are ignorant of doesn’t change interest,
