ADAPTIVE EVENT QUEST - DIFFICULTY & FUTURE

If all you heard was it was too difficulty you are not listening.

Prestige sucks
No one wants to do Classic mode
The awards are too backend loaded
Most everyone just wants the Valiant EQ back

Prestige sucks even more when you think about the fact that the resources needed to increase prestige also scale with prestige now. You feel stuck because even taking a champion to r4 doesn't increase your prestige too much and your rewards are nerfed untill you're able to raise your prestige.

Just to reiterate point #2 - not only is Classic a waste of time, it a waste of energy…. Of which our refills have been nerfed into the ground. This removal was to be because we wouldn’t need it for EQ going forward. Yet, here we are with daily quests we need to complete too with energy.

Top 30 means taking a Champ to R4 isn't the only focus. R4 one when you can, but your bigger boost is getting a larger number of them to R3.

also, the node design and format of elder is completely outdated. Match the nodes to modern champ characteristics. Or get rid of the class restrictions. It’s an anachronistic quest design that was carelessly dropped into the new vision for EQ.

I agree with your points at the end. However, the complaint that it is too difficult is valid. These attack values and health is ridiculous for the rewards we get in return. Especially when we need to use lower ranked champs in order to complete the elder difficulty

Its not even the difficulty or the length or whatever you wanna call it.

Times like this is when you really wonder if they even play their own game, and its with justified reason.

Look at the attack values, putting the mutant node?... 10% bleed dmg is still a lot. A Strikers gets launched into block by accident and the poison will pretty much just end you. There is a serious lack of foresight on how things are done. Difficult I get, but this is not difficult its just plain sabotaging.

Not any r3s unfortunately, they need to be high sig or at least have some sigs. I already have two of my r3s not even contributing to my prestige.

What needs to be tested? Cut the health and attack of the defenders in half and the difficulty is acceptable. Pretty sure that could be implemented quite easily into the current EQ.

Next time test the Quests before you release them, not after. Then you would have realized that the Bleed from the first quest, despite being only 10% damage, is still absurdley high

ye, I'm valient at level 3/15 for crappy rewards and have 4 r3 7*s not in my top 30. I don't have a huge account. I have 17 r3 and 3 r4 7s and 30 r2s. I'm at 3/15! the rewards are bad.

It would be a boring, miserable slog but I'd manage EQ at the difficulty it is now, if the rewards were any good. It's not just the difficulty!

Saw the uproar and just now getting into it. I usually use my newer champs in the monthly quests to learn them. This time i wanted to take my new R3 Cull for a spin. The ramp up is painfully long in classic difficulty. Fight 2 was against Hit Monkey. Pushed him to an SP2 once. Was at 30% health-block damage took him out from the initial machine gun fire. LOL-yes i know he isnt a good option for the nodes-yes i know i should have kept at SP1-but event quest is not where i go when i want to play challenging and do my best to play as perfect as am i capable of. Event quest has always been a more relaxing and forgiving content that allows me to try stuff out and test some champs. These changes have just made event quest a poor balance of rewards for effort that I wont bother with.

i agree with this .

I find it humorous that there was no option to respond to Kabam Rex announcement,..(like,..okay we’re going to fix it,..but don’t wish to hear more punishing criticism from y’all).

There is nothing derogatory intended with my next statement,..but here goes.

Time to rein in all the nerds Kabam!!.

EQ was a place we could go to face the newly introduced champs and see what they’re all about ,..and MAYBE have a couple curveballs of difficulty thrown at you.

It’s like if Kabam were one single being giving you a gift,..they would gift you what they like,..(thinking it’s what we all would like),..but no it’s not,..not even close.

Instead of rambling on i will get straight to the point.

Kabam,..instead of continuous unforced errors,..for christ sakes listen to us!!!

I’m not angry,..not sad,..i am baffled at the fact that there was a countless amount of feedback on the release of Valiant EQ,..that was so much in your favour…with all of us!!

You may be clouded in your thinking that some of us are just here to cause 💩,..but that isn’t the case.

We actually care about the game,..the future of it and its longevity .

You should get off your discord servers,..get back to the forums and start to listen to the ones that criticize you most,..cause those are the ones that TRULY care,..that’s my take anyway

Classic would be fine if it was there as a backup for players who don't have a deep enough bench for Elder. You could at least get some lesser rewards while being able to reuse certain champs for every fight/path, like Omega Red or Colossus for the mutant quest.

But the combination of nodes and attack/health values means that even that still isn't fun. They take way too much time to clear, and you don't even get a courtesy reward of 50k gold for completing a oath. You need to clear three of these unfun things just to get to the next milestone.
