**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

I don’t believe that this actually hurts players since I think it actually helps prepare newer cav players for later content. As someone who hasn’t even completed 6.2 yet (I’ve been taking a break to build my roster up before moving forward with it) I find that Cav has actually helped me diversify my roster by showing me various holes in my roster that I can fill by ranking various champs. I feel this kind of roster check is important seeing as how completing and exploring later content such as Act 6 and Act 6 requires a fair bit of diversity in one’s roster.
I did it with a combination of a ramped up aegon with fury/goldpool to get rid of the bleed a bit quicker. But that’s not really the point. Between the skill quest, the path in the tech quest and the overseer I make it 53 of the 210 fights in the whole eq have heal block on them. It’s over 25% of them which is a bit much.
But that’s really the only issue I’ve had with cav difficulty the last 9 months. I think the difficulty is just fine.
I have explored cavalier difficulty since December and my roster it's not developed but it is balanced. I have not playing act 7 and if this is like this monthly quest, I'm very excited about.
The Cavalier title is a requirement to unlock access to the quest, not giving you divine access to free rewards. The MEQ has always been more difficult than the title required to unlock it. None of the nodes are particularly niche, they don’t rely on god tier champions to be able to get through, in fact the majority of them don’t favour the classic top tier champions which should allow those rosters not blessed by lady luck an easy ride.
2) I am a late f2p cav, w 10k prestige and 800k PI and this quest is easy to not only complete but also explore.
3) the fact that it hurts you doesn't mean that it hurts all players as you said
It is meant to be a challenge. Learn from it. Pick up new playstyles, consider new champion options you previously didn’t. Talk with more experienced players and ask for help. You’ll be glad you did in the long run.
A lot of people look at this in terms of time waiting: if you've been Thronebreaker for X months, that's too long. But the time is irrelevant. The limiting factor on difficulty tiers is not how long people have been waiting for it, but rather how many people are realistically waiting for it. If that number is too small, it isn't worth making a difficulty tier targeted at just them, no matter how long they've been waiting for it.
First you release the progress tier, then you let people reach it, and then when enough people reach it and it is worth it to do so, you target monthly content at that group of people. And in the meantime, you have to figure out where the time and resources are going to come from to do it. And that's probably going to be from an earlier difficulty tier you're essentially taking away.
