Recently Valiant and not Happy With Changes

I took a break from the game for nearly two years and then came back at the start of this year. When I left I had just started 7.2.

When I started back I had a few rank 4 six stars and no 7 star champions. I wanted to try to catch up so I pushed hard for Valiant. I explored act 8, I’ve done completion through 9.2. I was able to get myself to Valiant with free resources in the Deadpool event during the spring. I now have two r4 7 stars and nearly 60 7 stars overall. I have been happy with the new rewards and the progression since becoming valiant. But, today’s changes really hit hard. My prestige dropped from 25k to 18k. I can only go for the bottom tier of rewards now? It really feels like those who pushed to become valiant because the title and rewards mattered are now being shoved aside.

Why make a rewards system that makes it more difficult for valiant players with lower prestige? I was trying to catch up and be competitive. But you made the mountain 20 times higher as every player with higher prestige gets to keep growing their accounts more rapidly.

I’m so glad I didn’t spend to achieve my account improvements. If I had, I’d be even more unhappy. Does the Valiant title still mean anything?

I’m so disappointed Kabam

Same timeline. Stopped playing the game for two years. Got back this February and completed anything I can with my 6R4s. I now have 5 7R4s, with enough for additional 3 (waiting for the Titan reset), around 110 7* champs, and playing with a T1 alliance. I didn't spend anything during Deadpool Event, Heart of Fire, and didn't even buy any unit or cash deals during July 4th.

I'm currently at 24k now dropping from 32k but I don't really mind the difference in rewards in EQ brought by this prestige drop. A whale in my alliance (currently at 30k) is getting 11k T7B, 30% T4A, and 1.2k 7* Awakening shards more than me. He spends at least $2,000 a year, I spent less than $100 to get a few weekly deals to get Lumatrix and Sorvach plus Platinum Tracks. Will that difference of 11k T7B leave me behind by not spending thousand of dollars, I don't think so. I completed everything I can, even Wheel of Fate, without it.

The overreaction on EQ rewards is too much. The difference is really not that much. The REAL difference is in the Battlegrounds Rewards (Radiance). A big whale will get lot more resources there than this new EQ revamp but at least there, we can somehow compete despite the disadvantage.

it’s more difficult for someone with lower prestige to raise their prestige though since the rewards are so much worse for a lower prestige valiant player.

Im not doing the new elder difficulty eq fights are long there is no full heal after each gate and for more than that there are 16 fights Im not using my resources for those 6 quests with 16 fights where champions not healed after each gate this is so frustating this is not equal to what released in v1 of valiant eq even rewards arent worth the completion v1 was far more better than this piece of sh*t

How much lower? What's the difference. I don't think the difference is astronomical unless you can give me some data.

just scroll through the levels where rewards are posted. Level one gets 1/10th of the T 7B. It takes 10 times longer to accumulate one catalyst than it does for those who are already sitting pretty. It’s grossly unfair for anyone who’d like to push higher.

Are you level one despite being Valiant? Then punch up.

spending makes it soooo much easier to advance
