Wolverine will still work, but you will have to adjust the rest of your team to have a Sentineloid killer and you will also have to potentially bring a different mini-boss killer each week. However, Kabam should be making AQ free for the first month and awarding everyone potions since we have to adjust to these changes without any increase in rewards.

Are you saying that if Kabam doesn't do what you suggest then you won't do AQ? lol

Why should they make it free and give away potions? If you can't beat a sentinel, you should just quit the game now.

The issue is that resources to upgrade champions are extremely hard to earn in this game. We have spent our resources upgrading certain types of champions to complete the content that currently exists. Some of those champions are weaker against Sentinel. I think it was Kabam Miike who suggested in another thread that armor breaking champions would do well. That’s great, but I don’t know a lot of other places where that debuff does well enough to be worth the resources to upgrade. I don’t have those types of champions leveled up very high. Is Kabaam going to allow me to earn more resources to increase my champion divirsity? Nope. They will change the game again, but not give me the tools to adapt to it. This is why there is always backlash with these changes. They bring it on themselves. I think it would be great if they would vary the quests more so that deciding which champions to use was a more strategic part of the game. But if they are going to do that, then they need to make it easier for us to upgrade our champions. We will have to have a large, diverse roster to adapt to different challenges. They will also have to stop hiding nodes like they are doing more often. Kabaam does not seem to think these design decisions through very well. They need to make up their minds about what type of game they want this to be. Do they want this be a strategetic team-based fighting game, or do they want this to be a randomized guess-who-you-are-facing fighting game? I know which one I would prefer.

Demonzfyre wrote: » I'm sorry but I disagree with everything you just said. The resources are out there but a lot of the people complaining about limited resources are- 1. To lazy to do the leg work to get them. I.E. grinding arenas or being in active alliances. 2. Aren't high enough level to earn better rewards. 3. Aren't running AQ map at least 5x5. If you were someone that focused on ranking champs solely on what bosses were in AQ, then that's your fault. There is a lot of different game modes out there and having a diverse roster should have been your goal all along. AQ was meant to go through changes and if you didn't know/realize this, then again it falls on you. The sentineliods are shells of the playable one. They are what is faced in uncollected. Their abilities are different than the playable one and the only have SP1/2. The game has to evolve and change. This has been said over and over. My ally runs map 5x5. I am overflowing with T4CC except Skill due to R5 5* blade. T4B is out there but you have to be willing to save and then grind to get the full available resources. Same with T1 Alphas. You can get 5 per AQ cycle in addition to 3 day completion event, Arena series event, and 3 day item use event (I believe). I agree that a varying quest for AQ would be great but you don't need a huge diverse roster to do compete with all of that. Also hidden AQ nodes hasn't changed since Dorm became the boss. AW changed back to what it was before because the exploit was fixed.

I have always been against rank down tickets (just search for rank down tickets on here and you will see my multiple reasons against them). I still am against them and your response was always my response—if you were patient and didn’t rank stupid champs, you wouldn’t need them. I actually now want one—but it’s not bc I ranked stupid champs out of impatience. I took quake (awakened) to r4 bc I had multiple t2as expiring and no one to use them on. I think it’s ridiculous that there is a cap on t2as personally. A lot of people in my ally are running into that issue. There are so few great 5* champs that eventually, as u complete the end game content, you have more t2as than u can deal with bc of limited champ choices. Kabam’s change to featured crysta exacerbated that problem. What’s worse, is that I even ranked down quake during that last rank down ticket and then had to re-rank her bc of the stupid expiration clock again.

I personally wouldn’t mind being able to earn rank down tickets, but I don’t care that much. I have some bad champs that are ranked higher than I would like. I was forced to make a choice because of the way this game is designed. I pulled a lot of bad champs early on. I had to rank them up in order to keep progressing in the game. Then I joined an alliance. I had to keep ranking them up because I didn’t have a large enough roster to do AQ and regular quests at the same time. I don’t have any regrets because I wouldn’t have the roster I have today without making those tough choices. Yes, there are people who make foolish decisions and waste their resources, but a lot of us did what we had to do to keep progressing in the game.

I would like more opportunities to earn t1a, t2a, t4b, t5b AND gold. I don't know at what ratios or what events, and I don't want to devalue the gold even further for people who grind arena for it. It almost seems like the game is changing and growing faster than it has before (r5 5*, 6* etc) while leaving players with a small taste and no way to progress/diversify rosters. It definitely makes rank ups and the choice to rank up more selective, but its also filing you into a niche. My alliance actually turned away a recruit because his r4s on defense would be duplicates of what we have, so hed be stuck placing a weaker defense than what we were replacing. Between diversity, changes, and progression, rank downs arent the answer, but more resources are, imo.

I do the t1a arena and t4b arena every time. I also grind arena for shards. Then my 5* champs all just sit there at r1 bc I cant justify the FIVE t1as it takes to rank them to r2. My gold has also disappeared. I had over 7.5 million gold at the start of the year. I’m now down to 3.5 million after ranking multiple 5*s to r4 and a 6* I’m not even ranking 4*s really anymore—except for Medusa and blade when I finally get them. Maybe Morningstar for aq.
