I’m tired boss.

This game used to be fun, now it’s a chore. Playing over 10 years, Valiant player returning from a break from game.

Too much effort for minimal rewards, like the changes to event quest, changes to prestige top 30, outdated items/rates in storefronts.

Rewards are spread out too much and require me to use game modes I have no interest in. Pumping out characters with abilities that don’t interact with nodes that haven’t changed in 5 years(new characters have passive buffs, old characters have active buffs for example) isn’t helping.

I enjoyed playing the game but it’s in a weird state now.
Connection issues, undetected inputs, crashes, blank black screens are rampant.
Instead of new characters how about weekly maintenance again and a push to focus on game infrastructure. All these new characters are trash if the game is having connection or input issues. Make the game run smoothly then jazz it up.

Rewards are lackluster for the time and effort across the board. We all have 7* yet still we have events where Valiant players are getting 5* items when those valiant players probably haven’t used 5*s in a few years. Rewards also spread out too much, being in alliance isn’t as rewarding(AQ, AW & BG events) and I just can’t keep up with all the currency’s(Glory, loyalty, gold, units, radiance, event tickets or tokens and mysterium).

The new event format is icing on the cake. The EQ Elder difficulty is just silly. The paths have about 15 fights and choices locked by class. Well I don’t have 15 6*/7* that I can bring in that are even ranked up higher than my fully ranked 5*, so I get halfway through the path and I’m just down to all 5* choices and they just get demolished. Can’t complete Elder difficulty now because of the depth of my roster.

It seems like the daily events are more rewarding than the EQ in most cases anyway, especially if I can’t even complete EQ.

EQ Fix:
~drop the easy difficulty(no reason to fully explore and then do it over again, except to waste energy) or allow us to run it a over and over in order to collect points towards milestones.
~open class restrictions
~Full health for each fight when choosing new champ

i think they stated they will adjust next months EQ to allow for selection of a lower difficulty.

I agree that even after they adjusted mid month elder can be pretty restrictive when considering roster depth.

It is also a VERY long slog,..chip damage is very high,..and good luck if you get tagged 😅.

Difficulty has been tuned up on purpose for whatever reasons they have

You know what I find funny before the revamp of this month's event quest the reward for paragon progression was 900 7 star shards I can admit my prestige isn't the highest at 10k but come on prestige was not one of important things for a casual player heck even for most of the players out there they would rank up champs they like to play and can you imagine in near future people will be like who do i rank up to get more prestige for better rewards in event quest will never be not funny in my head 😂

Regardless considering the milestone rewards it's pure garbage as you don't get even 1/4th of the reward for completion like the game has been for years giving ample rewards for completion and now it's just like do the whole quest I don't care about your time or roster like come on even if do it with revives and losing to another light intercept or special intercept is it my fault to not have 10 character leveled up from each class that could counter the node and the defender not to mention the rng on crystals like I could get the good champs in each class there gotta be a class you have a weak roster in what do you do when that happens grind the defenders health with a 10 minute fight considering you have a counter to that specific defender

Maybe this is like a rant comment but I don't thinks this event quest format is it

The new EQ is definitely a swing and a miss. I did one Elder quest. Took forever and the chip damage alone was crazy, especially with 16 fights. I packed it in after that. Even the Classic difficulty is not worth fully exploring because some of the defender/node combinations are just unfair.

Another part of the game to be avoided. Running out of things to do. At least energy is not an issue. Not burning it on anything other than autofighting the Daily Quest. Boring.

All things aside, I actually preferred the paragon gauntlet and valiant gauntlet. tht paragon gauntlet literally give 100 t2 dust and 1/3 of a 7* with just 10-15 mins of playing. the valiant gauntlet also had awesome rewards and became roster friendly after the update. but after seeing the elder difficulty of the current eq I felt like it went back to wide roster builds. and the rewards too are pretty much meh (idk it might be my fault coz my prestige is just 19k) but still it felt like a downgrade in the rewards perspective compared to the earlier gauntlet rewards.
and on a side note Im not using the same account I was using for my previous discussions so if u somehow happen to notice ss from those discussions those are from another account and not the one Im using rn.

The juice isn’t worth the squeeze when it comes to events, resources and rewards in a manner to build a solid roster for content in general.

I saw the note about EQ difficulty adjustment. The bigger issue seems my roster, I just don’t have 15 champs in each class fully ranked up 6*
Also r5 6* & r2 7* use same resources, so why would I rank any more 6*?

Are the resources available? Yes but in a convoluted manner with multiple events and currencies.

I won’t disagree with any of you for not liking it. For me it wasn’t terrible after they adjusted it, and the rewards were pretty good.

It definitely is a bit long (I wish you could run it alongside other content to get a break but not lock yourself out from other content.). I also really wish we could get access to it without having to complete the Classic difficulty first.

Finally dived into Elder yesterday. I have more champs ranked up, thanks to WOF, but it’s still a slog. Day 2 and I am not done with Quest 3. Also discovered the hard way that not all tech champs have armour buff, Sentinal no armor and Bastion has passive armor. Also unsure what rewards I’m getting whereas old format was clear in rewards after finishing each part which was a motivation to go on. Getting exhausted.

SirGamesBond

I'm not doing the math.

But I sure want to see new elder rewards at lowest vs old tb+paragauntlet comparison.

Difficulty went up

Rewards went down,

World Eater

it’s alway been a slog … and now with even more game bloat it’s overwhelming . There’s a zillion stores and currencies . New champs with 40 lines of text.

Positive changes have been made thru the years, like the reduction of AQ refresh timers and it being reduced to 4 days. Besides that , it’s the S.o.S with MCoC.

Even the forums are screwed up. It’s been this crappy format for like 2 months now. Don’t expect much from Kabam

This is my current chore list and its very manageable. I am Valiant with 7 R4s and 33 R3s, mostly all duped, total base rating 7.8 mill, combined top 30 prestige 26511.

No EQ. I do SQ. BGs only every other day just for objectives only (a large percentage of time opponent just quits), by last day usually I am in GC and only on last day I will fight till I get one loss then I quit. Gets me to about Uru 1 or lowest Gamma. I do 6 energy in an AQ a week ONLY just for rewards. I do not do AW. I will let those solo Raids build up till I can do two obj at a time. No arenas unless its a special event. No incursions. Auto fight daily quests (though not the one for catalysts). With remainder of energy, I will farm for revives for end game content whenever it drops.

Doesn't take a lot of time, easy, no stress if I miss anything. I am in a laid back retirement alliance. I have not spent in years.

Keeps me at a reasonable Valiant level where I can do Crucible or Book 9 chapters without too much headache.

Way too many fights to be doing on a monthly basis. I think people start skipping EQ pretty soon.
