My Honest Thoughts on Cavalier Difficulty and a Response to Seatin's Video
This discussion has been closed.

This month's Cav difficulty was the most fun I've have in MCOC since the My Little Symbiote event.
I would play that type content for zero rewards, honestly.
Give me 12 of these a year...with a rewards buff to appease the masses... and I'm Gucci.
WELL DONE, KABAM! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Putting out 100+ hit fights is too a lot when you have to do 7 fights a path for 30ish lanes. Personally I would lower them, but I also understand kabam wants this content to last (hopefully) beyond 6* r3.
The more rewards they dump into monthly content, the faster those things lose value so the next thing comes sooner. After people have enough t5c, t3a and t6b have to come, after that the next thing. Constantly asking for more is far from always a good thing in the grand scheme of things.
I am cavalier but simply because my only R5 5* is Warlock. I haven’t touched the monthly EQ cav difficulty yet. My roster is not stacked since I only have a handful or so of R4 5* and a few R1 6*. I will be able to clear some but all??? Totally fine that the cav difficulty may not be for me yet. I don’t use resources/units to clear content so If I can’t get content done by my skill set I just leave it alone. I think it’s good that Kabam has added this difficulty for the end game players to enjoy a challenging monthly EQ.
Something I will add that has nothing to do with the topic...
So many posts I see refer to the time the put in playing this game as “work”, just stop already. It’s a game... you’re playing a game. There is no work involved.
Idk why people are so bothered, it’s the first cav EQ things can change
To disagree with Seatin, I don’t think the content is too difficult. It should be difficult and I tend to think it is targeted at long term players with large rosters. Even though he has been able to skill and try hard his way into being Cavalier with his FTP accounts it doesn’t mean he should enjoy Cavalier EQ with them; I don’t think rarely played accounts with limited highly ranked champs is what the top monthly EQ should be targeted toward.
To disagree with much of this thread, I thought Cav EQ was incredibly repetitive. Because the nodes were mostly global, with a minor extra node on most paths, almost every chapter was doing the same thing for 3-7 paths. I used 1-2 champs in basically every chapter for almost every fight because there was no incentive to do otherwise. That’s incredibly boring when running 3-7 paths with 200k health pools in each chapter.
I don’t envy kabam the task of creating this content on a monthly basis and I think this was overall a good first attempt. I think rewards/time ratio is slightly off and would support a drop in the health pools or a slight increase in rewards. I think Seatin was largely guilty of hyperbole; but that’s pretty much a prerequisite for YouTube.
ETA: The Mystic buff was insane, as usual. Would be nice if buffs for other classes could meet the level of benefit mystics always get. V5 had this issue as well.
I do think they need to true east path as well and to actually make completion serve the purpose they dictated. Also don’t feel like these rewards are capable of lasting because they feel lacking already(to much focus on the previous “economy”).
Outside of those items the last couple months really do feel like Kabam is listening from the spring and trying to change e game
I would make cavalier level have the same nodes as Uncollected has with defenders having an appropriate bump up in HP/attack
I’d make the loot/rewards 50% better than uncollected rewards (so more 6* shards T5BC Etc)
Loved the new nodes (except tech, that was pretty useless and mutant didn’t work half the time).
Some bosses are making me put effort into bringing actual counters again, something uncollected hasn’t managed for a long, long time.
The comparison to v5 is nonsense, v5 has some much harder paths, higher attack values and is way more restrictive, being limited to the champs that it is. Synergies are basically out. There’s a SW boss and only 4 poison immune champs you can bring, one isn’t in the basic pool yet plus fights like havok, iceman, hulkbuster with very few pure counters.
To make cav eq anywhere near as restrictive you’d have to limit each quest to the boosted classes. Even then cav would be way more fun.
Obviously the v5 rewards are better. Cav eq could clearly do with a buff there to appeal to those who play the game primarily for rewards. I play for fun so it doesn’t bother me as much though obviously still need to fill holes in roster etc, plus the side quest is basically a massive giveaway for progressing cav and uncollected players.
Also find it a bit weird that a lot of people complaining about how long it takes have nearly explored it. Probably the same people that will complain there is nothing to do in a week.
Personally I’m nearly done with it and I’ve only used some refills I already had and my free energy. I’ll have it done by Wednesday.
I’m not sure what Seatin’s game is really. I can’t believe he truly thinks this event is for end game rosters running 30% boosts. He’s not a top tier player in my eyes like msd, kt1 etc but he should be able to easily handle this content. If it ends up getting the eq better rewards, fine, if he gets difficulty nerfed again like the show up event I’ll be gutted. That whole debacle was pathetic.
Clearly a lot of people complaining both on that thread and about cav eq difficulty can’t think for more than 5 seconds about what champs are gonna be able to counter a fight before giving up and I feel like he’s just pandering to that section of players and whipping up another whingefest from people who will have barely tried to play the content. It’s getting really annoying. 🤷🏽♂️
I’ve got two accounts, 500k and 650k. Hardly a big dog, more of a snappy little terrier. If I spend a single resource fully exploring this eq on either ill be very surprised. 75% through so far on one and nothing doing..
Cav eq is for me the best content they’ve made for a long while, focussing purely on the playing experience. Felt exactly what we collectively asked for in terms of nodes, boosts, rewarding not punishing gameplay, reasonable attack values etc.
Can’t wait for next month now! Well done Kabam.
But yet it can be fun if your roster can manage the nodes
I know this will get buried among the other post,
But Hector is right the rich get richer,
Seatin is also right, spice it up, he had some great ideas of partial rewards
Bro they are experts at this game and they all just looking at the game from all the players view
So stop hating
Yow yow, you all forgot where you all came from
Just don’t think of yourselves, think about the the community
P.sz this game move fast nowadays so defunk the idea of consequences
Good to read most of the comments though; and the general appreciation of the design (both 'interesting' nodes and the 4* milestones)
I've been asking for years for Kabam to introduce a 23-hr event or milestone that encourages you to use lower-tier champs; so that all those older champs we ranked up to 3* 3/30 or 4* 4/40 don't just gather dust (and all those resources aren't wasted).
It's a potential way to reduce the need for ever-more-powerful champs; if you're rewarded for using less-powerful ones.
