Prof Hoff is right

Todays prof hoff video about the daily Cav deal is shining a spotlight on a singular part of a much bigger issue. Cavalier level players have been getting the shaft on rewards, deals, shards, rank up materials etc etc for a long time now. Literally ever aspect of the game. It’s so far disconnected from our actual progression status in game and essentially does nothing to help us achieve thronebreaker.

I could have achieved TB a while back, but unfortunately I am one of those who has been affected by the input drop bug. I waited patiently for this to get fixed so I wouldn’t have to dump units on potions and revives. Not sure why I expected and hoped for the best but I did. Well, then comes the announcement about their “fix” or “answer” and it is screen resolution… smdh I’m on an iPhone 11 Pro, I’m highly doubting my phone is the issue here… I guess the general gist of this post is that I am and have been feeling very disconnected from this game as of late. What I expect of and want from this game seems so different from the direction it’s headed in.

What do you all think? Legitimate gripes or am I just being an idiot?

    I mean, SOP boosted a ton of cavs to tb. So did different special events, that come out time to time.

    Kabam doesnt give cavs a ton of blatant t5cc because there is a lot available in-game already.

    Cav eq, abyss, completing act 6 + exploring 7.1 and 7.2 (which imo are easier than act 6) lets you choose 75% of a t5cc and it also gives you 75% of random t5cc

    In addition, we now have 7.3 which gives 25% random on completion and a 100% worth of t5cc selectors

    this is all ignoring offers you can buy to get extra t5cc



    Thronebreaker may seem like a grind but you will get there eventually, gl on progressing and welcome to the forums :)


    also one thing, you will find much prof hoff hate on the forums because of how much false info he has given out on youtube. Hopefully this thread doesn't get blown outta proportion


    I am not subscribed to his YouTube channel nor do I watch his content. I was watching a vid from MSD and it rolled over to this particular video posted earlier today, so I’m unfamiliar with his past content or transgressions.

    I can see from the short time it’s been up that there will likely be 0 response to the disparity between TB getting rewards/offers etc of resources that useful to them Vs Cav players not(imo) and will be constant attacks on a person I knew very little about before making this post. Clearly mistakes were made on my part in the title, I won’t be checking this after tonight.
    Both the comment your replied to and DNA touched on it. Before CAVs it was uncollected saying this. If something comes after TB then it will be TB saying this. These titles get these rewards because they are at that title progressions and either grinded, paid for, got lucky, or a mix of those options to get to TB. There have been events and deals recently that have favored Cavs and even helped pushed them to that TB level. This card is a new deal and was quite the surprise, a welcomed one it sounds like, but I personally don't think cavs are getting screwed over

    The amount of opportunities to get TB is really high tbf. We have cav EQ, SoP, Knull event, Act 7, Act 6, Variants exploration and Abyss, also AQ and AW. There is so much t5cc that it depends on you only if you decide to go for it or not.

    You mentioned lag and dropped input as a thing that makes it impossible to progress. I am ofc not in your shoes, but lemme ask you: how many of those "weird things" were actually your fault? I play on a lower end device compared to yours and I've gotta say it is playable with some getting used to. Yea, occasionally something strange happens (for ex random heavy thrown), but that eats 1-2 revives tops. If you are active, you can easily earn enough units to be able afford this.

    Although the game is busted, over the past 8 months there has been plenty of opportunity to at least do an initial clear of act 6 and acquire enough T5CC for one R3. A lot of 100% 7.3 whilst it was bugged, did SOP.

    Don’t get me wrong the game still feels absolutely awful to play and broken as ever, but you can still farm revives and health pots to get through content to get to Thronebreaker. Then have the long long wait for it to be “fixed”.

    I personally feel the deals for cavalier massively pale compared to Thronebreaker, but then maybe they should be to incentivise everyone to get to Thronebreaker.

    Cav is an old title. They are getting their rewards that they need to become tb. Want TB rewards? become TB> I have 3 accounts, 2 are tb, one is on the way. Push for it if they want the level of rewards. it is that simple. Hoff is just a gaslighter with nothing positive to say.

    1. Prof hoff is propaganda that i think hurts the game due to the amount of viewers he gets. He spreads negativity and too many people listen to him
    2. CAV is old. Heck a new title should be coming soon
    3. Yea CAV card sucks, but seeing the thronebreaker deals makes me want to find time to push to TB. Ive been saving units and potions ready to make a push for it an seeing the new card reminds me at what i am potentially missing out on. There is no problem with cav rewards. Heck we got to do summoner of pain, they are treating us fine.

    No opinion on Hoff—I don’t have time to watch YouTube in general.

    I do think the initial complaints about Cavs being disadvantaged may have had some legitimacy back in late 2020–specifically the huge disparity in the CM/BF deals. However, the large number of opportunities for Cavs to get T5c and 6* shards since then has pretty much neutered any suggestion that Cavs are mistreated. The path to TB is open and available and has been since last summer.

    I will agree that the input issues stink. They affect me and I burn more items than I would like to sometimes. I wish the team would be more understanding on that point and drop solo pots more liberally (even if it means just spawning them more frequently in content). But I was also able to run SoP with those same issues (as were several close friends in game).

    I agree. I already had two fully formed t5cc before deciding to take on Grandmaster and make that level leap. I was very late on this, and I missed last July the 4th excellent TB deals because of it, but that s all on me, so I don't complain.

    I'm a cav, and I think that the content we have available, plus some consistent performances in the EQ and SQ is enough to get to TB.
    A lot of cavs got TB during SOP, since it had some really good rewards for a reasonable amount of skill, and that's fine.
    But cavs shouldn't have access to large amounts of t5cc from one source, especially since it's the key for the next progression title.
    We are not being shafted because TB's get more t5cc than us. I need more t5cc frags, but I also know that if I did some more content, I would get those frags.

    My second account became Cav May 2021. Before trying for Cav. I 100% act 4 and act5. I've done 1 path in act 6.2 since then (just recently). I'm not really sure if I want throne breaker on that acct. If I do, I need more diverse champs and the gold to rank them. I do spend some on the account, but I also try to do all legendary on the SE. Since becoming Cav. I have R3 2 6* champs. There is still a lot of T5CC in Variants that I can pick up. So the champ ranking can be done, just takes time. The content can be done, even with the input stuff going on. Farm revives (Act 3.2.6) and potions (ROL WS auto-fight) then do a path in Act6. Rinse/Repeat.
