**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

I totally agree. Using Wolverine with an emphasis on "limiting item use". Guess what happens when we use items...$$$
Surprise, surprise.
We are like leaves being blown around by hurricane Kabam, completely at the mercy of the winds of change. More advanced notice would have been awesome to have!
What’s next changing Ultron regen to be 55% and 15% so we can’t double regen anymore?
I for one can’t wait for all the increased rewards.....oh that’s right.
So why even do a half-assed “update” that, so far, it seems everyone will hate? Why not just wait til everything can be refreshed properly?
Money is the only reason for the change. They are trying to increase revenue.
Yes. That must be it. Anytime they make a change to add a new challenge, they're trying to milk people. It's not like the community asks for change, or people need to have new things to do to switch it up, or we need a change once in a while to grow. No, we must have the same content indefinitely so the Rewards are simple to get, and if they want us to try new things or improve, THEY must pay US.
-.-
But if you got a good Parry and intercepting game Wolvie will still get the job done... and regen.
I completely disagree, anyone who didn’t think AQ was ridiculously stale is strange.
Symboids were seriously annoying, changes were needed.
Yes they were stale, yes changes were needed. However changes should happen at once. Not give us one without the other. The other being better rewards as well.
@Kabam Miike , I play MCOC because it's fun, and a challenge. I even spend money because I know with enough practice I will beat bosses.
Adding Sentinel's in their current form is a bad move. While players may still use and buy revives now for their champs, this move will make it more unlikely. Playing Sentinels once in a while is OK. It's a challenge, but to have to play them over and over again is not fun. It's like having to face NightCrawler over and over again! Simply not fun.
You are taking the fun out of the game.
On a side note, you are destroying champs that can bleed, poison etc. Again, not fun.
I would be happier if rewards were bumped too, but at least this is something in the right direction.
It is strange that the rewards were not looked at or tweaked a little bit, but we know it’s on the horizon and hopefully with us soon and a new season
I would agree that changes to AQ for variety sake might be desirable, but then changing *all* the syms into sentinels seems to act against the desire for more variety, as now all of the unnamed nodes contain doubly-immune combatants. That would be like making all of the stage two lanes poison lanes, and saying that changes up AQ by requiring everyone to change their attack teams to deal with poison damage.
I'm not saying Kabam did it to make money: you can say that (and people do) about every single difficulty change. But I'm saying if the goal was to add interesting short term diversity to AQ in lieu of a complete revamp, then I don't think the change does this in a reasonable way. It is a sledgehammer trying to fix a pocket watch. The only valid reason for changing all the syms into sentinels I can think of is, and this is with full knowledge of prior Kabam statements in the thread, that someone wanted to make AQ significantly harder with the minimum amount of development work. Someone who wanted to "mix it up" would have added more variety to the unnamed nodes. Maybe add sentinels in some places, modified syms in other places. Maybe use unnamed assets from other content so you don't have to create new entities. For just a tiny bit more effort, you could have made the maps different than they are now with a lot more interesting diversity than just search-replace the syms into sentinels.
Actually with the right kind of practice NC is easier than the others -- at least so long as there's a simple way to change his mode. If they fix that, then it'll be different. But Void is much harder than Hyperion -- I'm not looking forward to fights where his base attack is boosted and he gains unstoppable for the last 25% of the fight. At max difficulty that's going to be brutal.
Miniboss with unavoidable damage and unblockable at 25% is much harder than Hyperion.
most of the counters to hyperion are also older champs that many of us have
i still think that NC is much harder. i saw the videos of how to make him switch modes with the light attack but i can't even bring him to a state that hold block. not sure what i'm doing wrong or maybe it's like kabam like to say "it's a device issue". one evade - one bug\glitch\frame drop and you are dead again him.
i'm not looking forward the new season but Kabam doesn't care.
they dropped the ball "this is how it's going to be" and put the chat on mute..
It took me some practice to be able to do it consistently -- at first I kept instinctively responding in ways that exited the state. Now I can do it fairly reliably; it makes my unduped 4/55 NC much less imposing for AWD, but so it goes.
how do you bait him to dash back and start the timer?
he barely block, and when he does he do it without the timer.
sometime i see the timer blinking like he hold block for a millisecond, release it and then again.
i saw many videos of peoples changing his mode but in these videos he "spam" his mode timer.
