Summoners, due to a technical issue, this week's series of Alliance Quests will be cancelled at 4pm PT. There will not be any Rewards for this series. The next series of Alliance Quests will start on April 18 at 12pm PT. We will be assessing the impact on Alliances and compensating accordingly, as well as returning Alliance Tickets.

This is why I think cav should be tuned to be inclusive allowing cav players to build up rosters as they transition to endgame players in readiness for niche stuff in act 6 exploration and future variants, and then having thronebreaker difficulty on a monthly basis with higher level rewards and the similar niche nodes to fit the depth of roster endgame players have, as well as higher health and just difficult champions to provide a monthly endgame level challenge for the highest level rewards in game such a 25% T5cc selector for 100% or some such.
finally have this difficulty as breaker of thrones as in for act 6 completion but not r3 6* so that late cav players have better access to t5cc and could perhaps do initial completion of this endgame challenge with some item use to get a say 10% selector and help build them towards eventually becoming throne-breaker
While I understand this game is ever-evolving, it is very disconcerting to now consider some of my recent rank ups worthless for this specific game mode. As a FTP player who runs map 2 just for the minimal glory, the Cavalier EQ is one of the best places for me to secure resources.
With such a dynamic shift in some of the node combinations and attack bonuses, I feel like my progress is going to really start to suffer unless I can luck out on pulling a handful of new champs. Even if/when I’m lucky enough to secure champions to assist with these nodes it’ll likely be time for new node updates.
I can't believe people are seriously complaining about expanding their roster options to cover more diverse situations. Maybe that's something some of you should have been doing already without someone having to hold your hand and point you in the right direction
Pretty sure they meant the champs that can get the furies from the node not any diss track/buffed up counter
One thing I want to point out: With the addition of the new Buffs, we are not doing away with the older ones. Our goal is to create a pool of buffs to pick and choose from for Cavalier Difficulty, but still not as wide as what you might remember from Uncollected difficulty.
Your Champions you've ranked up are still going to help you in these Quests, but maybe not the same Champions every month.
I hope this clears that up a little bit.
So many areas need improvements, and waiting 2+ years for improvements on monthly event quests is a bit ridiculous.
Forgive me for the inability to quote your post. It seems with age apparently my lack of technical understanding is getting worse. However with age does come perspective. Thank you for taking the time to reply and thank you for quoting my post as it seems to have been deleted as have my other posts on this topic. (My argument must be too close to the truth I believe)
Let’s take the biohazard node for example as this is very prevalent and I believe is seen as early as act 5 with the poison and bleed nodes. Previously I was able to rank up any champ I wanted to that I thought was best suited to deal with this node. Personally for me it was nebula then later on I ranked up warlock. With the cavalier monthly quest if I wanted to complete it I was forced to rank up a mutant champ to deal with the node and it wasn’t just for a single lane but for each and every path. Now the mutant I ranked up and don’t care for playing will sit on my bench as a constant reminder of wasted materials. An example I will give you on my account is I ranked up a 6 and 5 star version of guilly2099 to do the tech quest...I hate guilly 2099 and have 0 intention of playing her. There are other champs that I ranked up because of the class restrictions on the particular node and I am not asking for any type of rank downs like other people are I just think it’s **** that every few months we will be forced to rank up toons we don’t want to play. Thanks again and I look forward to your reply.
I know that you can bring in any champion that you want. However, to take advantage of the node it is required to bring in a mutant. If not then the time and effort to 100% this would not be with it. At least to me. Thank you
I was referring to that as my example only. I’m sure there are others out there and when I find some more time today if you’d like I will share each one of mine with you.
First of all, LMAOOOO.
Second, you don't need to rank up specific champions to be able to complete the quests. You didn't need to rank up G2099 for the Tech chapter. You could've brought in any other champion, yet you chose to rank up G2099.
Every decision has a pro and a con. You have to figure out if the benefits outweigh the costs of a rank up for yourself. Sure, it will take longer to complete without a Tech character, but that's your choice to make. No one is forcing you to rank up anyone. The nodes don't punish the player for bringing in a non-Tech champion.
Keep in mind people have been continuously talking about the game being in a death spiral of getting worse and losing players and revenue since 12.0 (and before). I don't have exact figures of the size of the playerbase, but it doesn't seem all that smaller, and I do have pretty accurate figures of the size of the game's revenue and the general trend there has been upward.
To be fair, though, pretty much game communities always look like they are in constant outrage mode, not just this one. It is the common denominator of every online game community I've ever been a part of, or even heard of. The people happy with the game tend to focus on playing the game. The people unhappy with the game tend to be the ones that talk about the game. So the online communities tend to be disproportionately skewed towards malcontents.
