Let's talk about Canadian Difficulty

Notsavage19 · July 2020

I feel that Canadian Difficulty is just way too easy. At this point, it could be considered Uncollected. However, I do like how the linked nodes add to the difficulty, while not making it impossible (except for one–I'm looking at you, Buffed Up). That being said, more nodes, whether they be Linked, Local, or Global would amp up the difficulty to that "Canadian" difficulty level. Increased health and maybe increased attack would help too, but I don't want it to become another Act 6-esque situation where the attack values are too high. Maybe 30k minimum defenders?

Opinions?

Impossible as in impossible without a proper counter. Nodes such as "Attacker cannot deal damage unless ______" shouldn't really be used.

I mean this is just beta and only first quest came out so their still 3 more left

Notsavage19 · July 2020

I totally get that, I just wanted to hear everyone's opinions on the difficulty.

Notsavage19 · July 2020

The 50k Sasquatch ambush is nice, though.

SuperiorSvee · July 2020

Wait a bit in my opinion.

It’s week 1. The difficulty ramps up. This is equivalent to EQ map 1.1 on the difficulty. Play later maps before telling them to make it harder.

KDSuperFlash10 · July 2020

For the rewards, I think the difficulty is fair.

10or_Strong · July 2020

I fully expect that the difficulty will ramp up over the 4 quests as they go on. This is a solid level to start at, with relatively low-level rewards (for what we would see overall at this difficulty level) to start everything off at. If you went into the first of 4 weeks of quests and were smacked in the face with late-Act-6-level difficulty, it may turn more people off. I also do appreciate the design, like UC EQs, with an "easy" path that only has the global buffs, so folks can at least feel they have a chance at completion. I know they said they plan on that being part of the Cavalier-level difficulty for EQs in September, and it's a solid plan.

That sasquach is **** impossible

Austin555555 · July 2020

I have 1 counter for an the buffed up path. That node is just **** because my medusa won’t work since she isn’t duped otherwise I probably would have been done already.

Wait, I forgot about my thing in AQ. I could try it with him, or will that not work either?

Pyrda · July 2020

It’s nice not to hard so it fits to the rewards, that Sasquatch ambush is nice and a good to deal with challenge. Nice work kabam

Yup, was a nice little wake-up call lol

Hera1d_of_Ga1actus · July 2020

Too easy. Feel like they should bring the 5/6* Requirements, it just makes sense imo.

Kinda disappointed so far but I'll see how the later weeks go before I'll feel completely let down.

Thing doesn’t have buffs. His abilities are passive so he won’t work.

Possible counters include Ghost, Venom, Angela, Colossus, CMM, Silver Surfer, Night Thrasher, Hela, Phoenix, OML, Red Skull, Black
Bolt, Hyperion, Storm X. I’m sure there are more.

Does black bolt need the dupe or is he fine without it?

Seraphion · July 2020

We have to take a few things into account. Sasquash will ambush you with 300k hp + 10k attack. This is a very long fight with all his def abilities. And you can only bring 3 champs. So naturly it should be a bit easier.

I honestly don’t have the answer to this. Can’t say I’ve actually ever used Black Bolt but I know he generates fury and cruelty buffs.

GinjabredMonsta · July 2020

It seems easy for now but im guessing it will ramp up. Plus like others have said, this is still a trial run for whats to come

But you can always avoid the ambush by quitting out and then restarting the quest.

TimeGenesis · July 2020

Overall quite happy with the new difficulty. Rewards vs energy cost vs difficulty i think jts ok. I enjoyed it and looking for more challenging fights next chapters hopefully.

Sasquash was a surprise.and i did sacrifice a champion just to see his sp3 🤣 quite a big HP and atk values but nothing special.

As for the nodes everything is alright i spose aside from the 'Buffed up' node which can be problematic for some rosters. I honestly would prefer this if it stays in Story Mode instead of EQ / SQ.

He definitely has buffs after his sp3. His unblockable and unstoppable are both active. He needs the Heimdall or another synergy for the 3rd buff though

Notsavage19 · July 2020

The rewards are good, especially when there's no energy cost involved.

Worknprogress · July 2020

I'm not a fan of this event build in general though. I hated the mole man event. 20 paths of nothing is a ridiculous amount. So far this is just longer but not particularly any more difficult fights than the mole man event which is about the worst thing I can think of for me

At least they mixed up the bosses this time around lol

Monk1 · July 2020

This event is ridiculous.. Mole man was so boring and this is just the same (thank god for a few less paths).

Also epic is stupid easy.. not even as hard as last months Modok labs.. happy for the updated rewards, but please can we stop this style of event.

Air98 · July 2020

Its fine, I have to run through the paths dozens of times I don't want them to be overly difficult or time consuming, I want them to be fair and I think Kabam found a decent balance.

And this is why we have less rewards than the moleman event. Oh no there's too many paths with rewards on them, Kabam please reduce the paths and the rewards I get!

If you don't wanna do all the paths then don't, Kabam listening to people like you resulted in nerfed rewards for everyone.

And the reason the fights aren't remotely challenging or interesting is bc of people like you. If you don't like hard fights or content don't do them

Show me anywhere I said I don't want interesting fights, go ahead. This is CAVALIER difficulty, the first part of this quest should be tuned to 6.1 and scale up with the coming weeks, your seriously gonna say I don't want hard fights because I think it should be balanced like that? Get out of here.

Exactly my point.. instead of challenging/interesting fights we get boring/repetitive fights that u have to drag yourself through, Just for the rewards
