Carina's Challenge

TheTalents · April 2021

Any thoughts on what the challenges will look like? What type of rewards will begiven? Or if you feel excluded since you're not Throne breaker?

I just wanted to thank to Kabam specifically for listening to our requests as Throne breakers and doing something new.

TheBair123 · April 2021

I mean as a Cav, it does suck that I won't be able to get them, but it's very understandable. It will definitely give me something tangible to push for as a ftp player since i won't be buying any money deals that benefit thronebreakers

Something like defeating some opponent here and there (RoL, LoL or AoL) with a limited star rating. Or doing one of those fights without taking any damage, block or whatever.
For rewards, not too sure about it. But I hope it is a permanent addition

I'm excited for it. And hopefully it puts our r3s to use

Agreed. I don't mind lower stars with the exception of 4 stars. Hopefully since its a Thronbreaker requirement the Champs can be r3 is my hope.

Specific rarity and specific champs in old content? No thanks, this is everything that people complain about with the 4* challenges. It's not new, it's lazy and exactly the type of thing I have zero desire to ever see.

Rockypantherx · April 2021

I’m certainly interested to see what they have in store. The fact it’s going back through old content in the same month we have 7.2 makes my energy refills stash hurt

Still, I actually quite like things like the 4* challenge, so I’m looking forward to this. As long as it’s not something such as ‘Kill the 5.2 Collector with a 3* Blade’ or ‘Kill Abyss Thing with 3* Quake’.

Also intrigued to see what the rewards will be. Are they going to be cosmetic, nice bonuses like the Zone 20 challenge, or typically ‘good’ rewards like Nexus’ or T5CC. I’m leaning more the 6* Sig Stone crystal level. Which is fine, I’m more here for the content

Deacon · April 2021

what is this challenge you speak of?

I'll wait and see. If the rewards are worth it though than we can talk. For me 10% t5cc isn't worth me ranking up 4 stars. I'll pass on that.

Deacon · April 2021

ok .. caught a video by Seatin on it. uhhhh i'm not gonna take 1* champs against 6* lol every time i see the "different rarities" bit it's generally a mess and cumbersome to do.

but i'm game if the rewards are equal

Yeah I just use 4* I already have ranked. And if I really like a champion I’ll rank them as a 4* for fun like Prof X and Apoc

Defenestrated · April 2021

Ugh, completing old content with specific champions and lower rarities... that doesn’t sound like fun at all. Summer of Pain can’t come soon enough.

StevieManWonder · April 2021

What is this? I didn’t see it in the patch notes

Just be ready for all the complaints that it's too hard
Will there? Havnt seen any so far about the incursions milestone challenge

Got to agree with this. The threshold for effort (and pain) to get to TB is significantly higher than Cav. Beyond whatever frustration you want to credit to acquiring a 6*r3, Act 6 completion poses significantly more heartbreak (blood, sweat and tears) than a run through of 6.1.

Andyball270 · May 2021

When we see the challenge and the rewards that go along ill make a judgement as to wheither i think its worth it. My concern is the rewards will be mediocre for the level of effort. Im more than happy to invest resources into completing the challenges if the reward is worth it. But i wont just throw units and resources into these challenges for no reason.

7or7 · May 2021

I’ll probably do for the fun of it even if the rewards are bad

U guys are funny, begging for months for some difficult addition to the game for thronebreakers and u are already starting complaining saying if it's too difficult I don't do it, if the rewards are not enough I don't do it and so on. I suggest u to leave the game if u have already done everything in the game and only come back temporaneously when there is something u find interesting and then leave the game again.
This was unneeded mainly because the people asking for hard content are mainly different from the people asking for justifiable rewards and saying such stuff.

This type of event is only meant for really endgame players with nothing else to do and to give them some difficult challenges to overcome, mainly for the fun of doing difficult content with obviously some rewards for doing it which will not be gamebreaking for sure, like the 20 rooms objective in incursions.

IKON · May 2021

It has potential, but it's hard to really judge until it's released.

At this point, I'm very intrigued though.

I mean for me, I’ve been a strong advocate of hard content, that has justifiable rewards. Why would I put myself through really hard content and use items just to get 1 5* sig stone?

It has been, and always will be, finding a balance between how hard content is and how good the rewards are.

I’m not asking for a 6* generic awakening gem per fight, but something that makes my time seem rewarded.

I’m not bothered about the difficulty, I want a challenge and I’m looking forward to seeing what they have in store!

Endgame players have revives and potions continously expiring for the lack of difficult content where to use them, so if to do some of those difficult tasks u end up having to use items is perfectly justified and they won't complain, regarding the rewards obviously there has to be something interesting but people can't expect gamebreaking ones, like a 25% t5cc selector or similar, it has to be something more like the 20 rooms objective incursione with some 6 star sig stones. What i was trying to say is to play mostly for the fun of doing it, but I get most people only cares for the rewards sadly and will always complain for everything.

I’ll only give negative feedback about item use if I feel forced to use revives.

Using revives because the fight is hard and challenges me is fine. Using revives because they’ve put a hit cap where I can only use a certain amount of hits is not good or hard content. If I die because it’s my own fault that’s fine. If there’s a node that says not hitting the opponent for 1 second makes you lose 5% of your health I’ll rightly complain.

Content like that is not fun.

Odachi · May 2021

I'm half expecting it to say something like complete a path on Act 6 using only 4* champs, and then on launchday the 5/6* champion restrictions still being in place because you know...kabam things.

Most of us have been asking for something new to actually do with the rosters we've put together by now. This is not that, it's doing old content with lower rarity champs from the sounds of it. It's exactly the pointless nothingburger lazy suggestion that most people hate.

I only hope they don't add sig stones into the rewards bc then I'll likely have to do it anyway even though I'd rather do something as boring as arena than something this dumb.

Creating new difficult content from zero is super hard and time demanding for kabam and people apparently can't understand it. For example abyss they probably spent months creating it and then as soon as they released it some people finished it in 2 days without even paying attention to it only thinking about the rewards. Now they are trying to implement a new objective system which may create some new fun challenges for advanced people with nothing else to do and I don't get why can't people appreciate it and not complaining even before it actually launches in game

It's been over a year since anything meaningful has been released...

You’re implying Abyss failed as a piece of content because some people finished it in 2 days. The majority of the player base are still struggling through it, showing it is a great piece of end game marathon content.

Some people don’t appreciate the sort of objective systems, I personally am withholding judgment until I see it. But some don’t like being challenged to use lower ranked champions, which is fair enough.

I included, want to be able to use my rank 3 6* which I’ve put effort into getting. But a 4* challenge doesn’t let me use them.

IKON · May 2021

I think this has way more potential then "use a 4* or weaker" challenges. Take this particular fight with class disadvantage, or don't bring any cosmics in a V7 chapter 3 quest would work better.

There's also a super cool opportunity to have the challenges be classic Marvel fights. The one that immediately popped to mind is take the 6.2 champion with Thing. I know that Thing is a great option for this fight already, but Thing Vs Champion is an iconic Marvel fight, and it would be cool to encourage us to recreate those fights.
