Solo Coliseum - pain point - removing masteries

Carina1989

Removing masteries altogether is a bad design anyways. But in this mode which runs for 2 weeks and the current boss you decided to completely ignore half the player base that use suicides. Removing willpower means now I need to switch my masteries just to get this done. And this is not like the usual thing - I change my masteries over the weekend to complete EQ or ACT content, this is a grindy content that I would like to do daily.

This combined with the the tags for the champs that I can bring in, restricts me to just 1 or 2 champs. I mean, do you not want us to run masteries of our choice? I am sure you don't want that but then why introduce such nodes for content that runs for so long and thus forces you to use units to switch masteries.

I hope you would consider this.

I swear Kabam doesn't test their metas. Really fun and new event but impossible metas makes it unfun.

1000% agree OP.. I was actually coming here to start my own post 😂 Seriously.. stop designing fights that "require" you to add a WP removal node simply because you don't want players to get free healing.. you designed the fight, you chose to add debuffs to it.. why is that our problem?

Huge issue for Recoil players (many of us run it in virtually every game mode save for BGs (but we can pay to save a build for BGs)

So, why not just pay the 70 unit tax to get it done and move on?

Because this content was designed to be able to chip away at it over 2 weeks.. not sit down and do the whole thing in one go.. so how many times are we supposed to pay 70 units to swap back and forth just because the fight design (s) wanted to create a fight with excessive debuffs, but not allow the Mastery that people paid for to provide healing from it?

Idc about free healing.. I just want my mastery build that I invested in to function as it's supposed to and was advertised to (everyone knows that WP is a key component to a Recoil build)

Look, I don't mind paying 70 units here and there to swap.. and I do,but this is too much

I recommend they give us a solo coliseum mastery load out that we can change and set for free

I can live with recoils, I know the trade off, I would use sp3s or not use specials if I dont want to use 5% health but unable to avoid poison/bleed that comes from this prevents us from doing more that 1 room, 2 max.

At this point, it’s not a test of skill but a test of roster depth after the champ filter. Some players get good options for Havok, while others don’t even have a single viable champion. I don’t care about the milestone rewards—I was hoping for a more relaxed, less competitive mode. On top of that, the 25 energy cost doesn’t even let you test-drive some champs to see if they’re suitable or not. Honestly, Alliance Colosseum felt better than this overly restrictive champ selection.

That part of the design is fine since this is an endgame everest replacement drawing inspiration from eop

Yeah, as for the content itself, no issue with it as it's the replacement for EOP and the tags, nodes and milestones basically work the same way.. but I'd say it's it actually tuned down in difficulty from EOP regarding attack and defense stats and the rewards are top tier

There was always an energy cost for practice runs in EOP.. it was less, but the difference is now practice runs actually progress you towards the milestones and the previous ones did not

hungryhungrybbq

As for a relaxed, less competitive mode.. that's just not the intention for this.. it's replacing EOP so it's supposed to be difficult.. but the rewards do reflect this

Though it is ultimately less difficult, but more grindy in exchange.. better runs = clearing the milestones faster and by default a savings in energy, but you don't *need* good runs to progress.. you can grind out the points a few at a time, so I actually feel it's more inclusive than EOP was in a sense

EOP was get good (and/or use consumables/units) or no rewards for you
