Infinity Dungeons Discussion Thread

Summoners! We're really excited to announce the introduction of a brand new mode to The Contest! Introducing, Infinity Dungeons! Infinity Dungeons will be available for a limited time only, but are unlike anything you've seen in The Contest before. Read all about them here: http://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/63523/introducing-infinity-dungeons/

There's a lot of information to absorb, and you're likely going to have questions. This is the place to ask them!

If you've got a few minutes, we also suggest watching this video that explains a little bit more:

Yeah I was excited about this yesterday when it was announced. Not so much after seeing the champs in each crystal and to find out they are basic champs and not full dupes.

I'm calling it now. I will go for gwenpool each time and will get everyone but him.
Here I come duped Hulkbuster and DD Netflix!

I'm very excited about this new game mode, but utterly disappointed that the crystals only contain basic champs.

I have the vast majority of 3* and 4* champs in the crystals maxed out, so opening those crystals would net me nothing.

I have 65 total 5* champs, including 47 of the ones offered in the new crystals, and 23 of them are already duped (1 maxed).

I know of plenty of other people with even better rosters than mine.

So, this event, if I grind all month I can get 3 5* crystals. These crystals give me a 1.667% chance of zero benefit (hit my max duped Gwenpool), a 36.667% chance I just get 1 additional sig on a champ I already have awoken, a 40% chance of awakening a champ, and only a 21.667% chance of a new champ.

I just can't see the juice being worth the squeeze here. And for anyone with a more advanced roster than me, it definitely isn't.

Please consider upgrading these crystals to full dupes. Otherwise this new mode is not remotely worth my time.

Bro what? Free rewards. Stop complaining

I'm just saying these rewards don't do much for me, so I'll probably just check the mode out of curiosity and then leave it alone.

If they're not going to give full dupes, maybe add something else add this currency can be spent on? I really want to have a reason to play a mode of the game, and currently I don't really have one.

Where is Ice-Man? I don't see him as winnable in the 5* crystal...

That’s because he’s not in the crystal.

That's the question, why is he not?

GladiatorMatt26

Ice-Man is also not in the 3* or 4* crystals... I have them so that's not a big deal.

Completely agree, maybe they will put some good stuff for new currency. We can hope. But at upper levels the dungeons will likely be super easy anyway

That video is hilarious.

Having full dupe would be much more desirable and more worthwhile for end game players

It appears you get dust and artifacts though. Artifact for the crystals and dust to use in a store for other items. Presumably like rockets worshop or the valor store.

Realistically, how many of those 27k 5* crystals can we expect to open during the whole event? 1? 4?

I'd be shocked if it was more than two, to be honest. If it was a full dupe, I'd have said one. With them being basics, I could see two

It would be great if you get three or four kicks at the can, though

They said if you got all milestones, you would get 3 of the 5* crystals.

Also, did they confirm it's LOL Ultron in there or is that a typo?

It's AOU Ultron, not the rarer one.

ESF

@Ch1efster and @BitterSteel : Thanks. I had missed that one

What an aid that will be for progression for some players, if they hit the prestige cutoff. If you grind it out, even if you're unlucky, people can still add some depth to their rosters

Do you have to be in an alliance to play this feature? I have been out of an alliance for 2 months now, & do not plan on rejoining one any time soon...

Not at all! That's kinda the whole Idea behind Dungeons: you don't need to commit to a full 30-person group to play a co-operative mode.

From what I read, this feature won't be implemented for weeks? Reading what the official announcement said, if you are like me and don't use people I know in-game, this won't be available any time soon? Just looking for verification. To be honest, I don't know many people in-game, and I would honestly like to keep it that way, so would like a little clarification on that. Thanks.

Our goal is to enable matchmaking within the first week, but this may change. Our first priority is ensuring the mode is stable and functioning as we intend before introducing matchmaking.

That’s because he’s not in the crystal.

That's the question, why is he not?

Because kabam chose for him not to be in the crystal. There are almost every other god tier in the crystals, kabam could have chose to just put one in each

Most of which I have... but okay thanks Kabam Mike...

1. Will people like the collector/maestro/the nameless be in the dungeon?
2. Can you possibly play up to a room with like 1 million rated characters?
3. Will any of the nodes like apsect of war/chaos be present?

1. No.
2. In theory, yes. I will personally high five you if you actually make it to a room with opponents with 1,000,000 Rating.
3. We aren't revealing what Buffs will be in the mode because we don't want to spoil the fun of doing your first few Dungeons

Ultron (Prime) is the version from the Age of Ultron film and HE is the one in the Crystal. LOL Ultron is not in these crystals...

Any info on the prestige brackets yet?

the final boss has degeneration and the attacker regenerate if both mini are down.
it means that only one of us, me or my friend, can use this fight to heal.
is it correct or am i missing something?

That's correct. You'll need to chat with them to determine who ought to take the Boss. There are 2 phrases in Quick Chat to help with this:

- You take the Boss
- I'll take the Boss

What happens if player A dies can Player B finish the fight

Yes, they could continue on, but it will be much more difficult without your partner.

Also is there an end or can I press next room forever?

Theoretically, you could press on forever. Good luck! I can't wait to hear how many rooms folks are able to beat.

When we do each room with our partner, is there a timer when it has to be completed by? Reason I ask is because do we both have to be online at same time to complete within a certain time frame?

Yes, the idea is that you can play through the mode together at the same time. There is a time limit for each room.

Once I receive an invitation, how do I check which champs my partner is bringing to the dungeon before accepting invite? Because if I have my r4 or r5 champs ready, I would like my partner to bring similar quality to the table so we can go as far as we can. I'd not like a scenario where I bring all r4 and r5 champs and the other dude comes up with 4* r5s because his main champs are in cool down period.

Also how do I check skill level of my partner? Any way to check his previous dungeon history and how many times died etc.?

If you want to have the most control over planning and strategy it will be best to play with a friend or Alliance-mate. That way you can accept the invitation to the dungeon and then discuss with them which Champions you'll both be bringing. Then once you select your Champions, you'll lock them in and enter the dungeon.

If you use the matchmaking system to find a random teammate, you will need to select your champions before entering the matchmaking queue. The system will then place you with someone of a similar power level who wants to play the same difficulty.

@kabam Lyra @Kabam Miike

What about these milestones? Can we get a sneak peak of them? See how high they go etc and what’s in them?

Biggest questions:
1. What power level is needed to see 5*s(I have 127K rating in case that is enough)?
2. Is Ghost Rider going to be in one of those Crystals?
3. Is there going to be more modes like Infinity Dungeon in the future?
4. Is there a limit to the power level a person can team up with(a 2* account teams up with an account that has a team of 6*s)?

1. You'll need to wait until the event is live to see which level of crystal you'll be eligible to earn.
2. The announcement thread includes a full list of Champions available. (Spoiler, Ghost Rider is one of them, yay!)

3. We'd love to hear from players if they enjoy the mode so we can know if you'd like to see it again!
4. There's no limit for the power level of friends or Alliance-mates you can group with for dungeons. The dungeon difficulty level you can explore, however, will be determined by the weaker team in the pair. I think this is really cool because even if you are of a very high level, you can group up with your friends who are newer to the game and have some fun with your lower star Champions.

@Kabam Miike said he was gonna get the prestige numbers though? So why do we have to it is live?

Also is there any news on the milestones.

What happens if the game goes down during a duo running a dungeon? Do the two get the full rewards for the prior cash out? Do they get the partial rewards?

Is there any information about this?
