    All I can say is get ready for a lot of people leaving the game most wont even care about the rewards anymore

    If people are going to leave the game because something is new and more challenging, they're not going to last the long haul either way.

    This is exactly how I felt after my first couple of fights against these new additions. Symbioids were used as rest stops before. Now these are the most annoying fights. This does not encourage me to play more or spend at all.

    They use to be my easy recharge points.

    Well, I suppose my favorite champion (x23) and wolverine, both rank 5 4* champs, have now been relegated to the monthly quest. Looks like I'll be ranking superior iron man back to rank 5 after I used my one rank down ticket to take him down...

    What a surprise, you've once again attacked the fan base for having a problem with something Kabam did. I'm seriously shocked this time.

    So despite the huge negative reaction to this update you went ahead and pushed it through anyway, bravo kabam you sure know how to kill your own game

    Dear gw, you and the mods are the only people stupid enough to be tying to say these aren’t harder. Let’s define harder, more hits to kill, and specials that are harder to evade and damage you through block... in no way easier... =harder

    Congratulation to Kabam for finding a way to make an update to AQ that literally no one wanted. This update doesn’t do anything to make it more interesting or fun. It merely makes champs that we invested in near worthless. I see a lot of 1 star reviews hitting the App Store over this.

    Sentinals are a horrible idea. #Retiring

    I definitely don't think people will leave over this. But if they do, oh well.

    Wait a second has no one thought of this yet? Guys think about it with the AQ before the changes people could bring champs like ghost rider or the god tiers right? With the new 5 star featured they contain champs who people use most often in AQ and AW so this sentinel change just changed our teams around so that those same god tiers have less use in AQ.

    Everything makes so much sense now.

    It sucks, congratulations Kabam for ruining the game.

    Baiting builds analysis, that powergain path is gonna be ridiculous on day 5, 4 hits and bait l1, repeat until timeout

    ....side note.....Sentinels cannot use the L3 but......but....if you push them to the L3 they will do a L2 and have L1 loaded and ready for your A$$.....

    anyone else think they (kabam) put this thread on "mute"?
    "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
    the answer is yes

    To all of you guys freaking out about these Sentinels:

    Use Quake. She destroys them.
  • MPIJLMMPIJLM Member Posts: 2
    Don't know if this has been asked all ready. Any chance on bringing rankdown tickets back after this change?
    Wolvie kinda got useless against these Sentinels.

    Thanks for the consideration in advance.

    I have Quake as a 4* r5 sig 99 ....fine for me, all of my alliance members cant say the same not to mention not everyone is comfortable fighting 'Quake style' of course she is not the only option...my issue is the fact that we have to make major changes in how we approach AQ for the same rewards..NOT COOL

    I agree about the rewards. Not cool at all considering you can’t just throw an immune champ in with whatever 2 other champs you want into map 5 anymore. Now more specific options have to be considered. Which will be tough for many when running AW at the same time

    Well, here's from someone that JUST found out how difficult it is: A LOT MORE!
    And don't give me the "Sentinels melt at the power of a Armor Break Champion..." What about that annoying "purification"? Won't that get rid of any armor break effects? Won't that basically get rid of ANY DEBUFF effect?
    So, YES you made it more difficult, NO, of course you're not in a place or time to revamp the whole thing, just the difficulty, which will conveniently make us players spend more units and items in each AQ.

    Thank you Kabam, you did it again
  • TreoTreo Member Posts: 389 ★★
    I just don’t like the fact that all of a sudden a lot of champs on the map are now bleed and posion immune and need a high crit champ to do real damage or power control to get them in line ... I don’t get how this helps in diversifying the feel when it narrows the possible champs ... same with the bosses ... how many champs can take on Morningstar ?... sure it still is a few ... but it narrows the field ... sure it makes you bring other champions ... and yes with that I don’t have a problem ... but there are other acts to do that ... it now feels like ah we found our way ... let’s change everything ... instead of building on what is already there ...

    the answer is yes

    I mean what are they going to say? :
    "We didn't do this to increase potion sales?" "We are not ready for a full refresh so rewards stay the same." "We do not believe that these fights are harder." "You will adjust to these changes." "Some players like the refresh and do not feel there is a difficulty increase."

    You'll not get any satisfaction from the mods. They have been told what to say and they have said it. This is just the way they want it.
