My issues with the Celebrity Event.

Okay, this is just my opinion, spoken as a 100% F2P player, the Celebrity Event sucks. Specifically, Chapter 2. As I went through and explored the first chapter, at first I was just chilling, with the first few just auto fighting, but then it started to get more and more challenging, and it got very fun at the end of chapter one, and I was having a great time playing MCoC, but then I went into chapter 2, and all my even possibilities of going for the big rewards went out the window, what I saw was a frustrating maddening pretty much totally anti non-endgame level hoarder F2P players. It didn’t even look fun. And I’m not talking about the nodes, those were fine, and actually really cool and fun, even though they were challenging. What I’m talking about is the fact that you have to pretty much spend a **** ton of units if you had any hopes of getting through the quest. With my rank one six star and rank 5 and 4 five stars I got through the first round, hoping to just head straight for the exit and just get completion rewards, but no, you have to go through the whole thing before you can get anything. If you’re going to make a pay to play piece of content, please actually make at least a little concession for F2P players, I get why you didn’t make the setup with the portals the same as the first chapter, as that would make it much easier, (although I’d love that) but at least give F2P people a chance to go from the end of round one to the end. If we can’t whale on the nexus and six star, at least give us something. Now, here’s some suggestions that I believe would have made this much better and more fun while still being hard. I think that the last quest should have been something like this, you go in, and there’s only one round of champions to get through. These could have one of two differences to the ones currently, one an additional node for even more difficulty but still playable with high skill, or even something as simple as making them all like 125,000 Power Index with way higher health and somewhat higher attack. That in and of itself makes the already hardest boss, Gwenpool, crazy hard if you don’t have the skill to transfer Bane, making it a challenging experience with high skill required instead of high wallets. And I mean, let’s be real here, I know you are a company and you want to make money, that’s always your main goal, but in December? Really? What, you don’t make enough from the gifting event? You gotta tantalize the F2P people with great rewards and make them spend all they have to maybe get stuff and get whales to spend even more money on it? You can get plenty of money from gifting, we all know that, so please, throw us a bone, not a bill.

Edit: Also, there are 27 Days left to complete this event. Take some time to let the community decipher who the best counters are and rank them accordingly if needed. I always find it odd when people just jump head first into content immediately and then say they weren't prepared. Seatin does a great job of this and always informs people that what he is doing is a terrible decision lol
Some content is just not doable at certain plateaus in the game - I know it's frustrating but, as your roster and skills grow, you'll soon be clearing special events like the Omega Boss Rush. Good gaming luck!
This quest was nicely designed because it's the same fight fights six times, so you could more easily plan your roster. If I had used a better counter for Gwenpool, I would have used fewer resources for sure.
I like how new content is being made so that the nodes don't merely punish you, but can offer benefits for your attackers. Helps keep the game fun, not aggravating.
Chapter 2 is basically up for an entire month. Hit the arenas hard and obtain the necessary units you need then tackle it. 😉
Literally had to wait two weeks to finish it. I committed too hard.
