Paragon Elder difficulty is significantly higher than it has any right being

As a paragon player with a decent roster it feels like making any sort of progress in the elder difficulty is nigh impossible, there is absolutely no way that kabam should expect that any paragon player has ranked 16 champs per class capable of fighting enemies that are scaled far more drastically than should ever be dreamed off.
I found the crucible fun but challenging because i got to test my roster, though i still wasnt able to make it to the end of any of the paths because i literally did not have enough champs to do so, yet the elder difficulty eq is even more restrictive and even has similar healthpools.

I am a reasonable person who thinks that the vast majority of the communities whining is incredibly excessive, however the event quest content should not be comparable to the games "everest" content and whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired and unless there are large changes to this content I will not be spending any more money on this game, I don't even really care for compensation, i would simply just like to be able have a fighting chance at this content.

agreed.

Elder difficulty is a joke.

I left this game for almost 3 years and got back in when my sons found interest in it. I came back at the end of July and found the content fun again and so did they. This EQ change has made me want to quit again. My sons are frustrated with just the first chapter on classic and stopped playing last night. We don't spend and they have used almost all resources. Maybe I'll come back in another 3 years. ✌️

Thanks for this! I agree with you this should not be comparable to Everest content, it makes no sense. The problem is in part because they did the Valiant gauntlet at a certain difficulty level (which felt right considering you are not getting 100% back on champion swap) and not they essentially doubled the strength of the defenders out of the blue. This is not proportional to what EQ has been in the past.

I completely agree with this. Whoever came up with this is so out of touch with the community its laughable. Increasing prestige to top 15 I could stomach, if you are going to do top 30 rank up materials needs to be increased by a large amount. Making EQ like crucible is terrible. Valiant was actually good previously, If you are going to increase the health pools so much then you need to reduce the fights. EQ shouldn't take 5-6 hours for valiant, thats absolutely absured. The masses wanted auto fighting on lower levels so they could still complete it and not have to focus on fighting which would save their time in real life, now you have taken 5 steps backwards on the player quality of life improvements.
