1. Kabam has never nerfed rewards.
2. The original permutation of Ice Phoenix was absurd.
3. Even those of us, like myself, who have mature rosters and are vets do not have all the champs that make mitigating cold snap more manageable.
4. I'm all for things being difficult. But things should also be manageable. There's a careful balance to strike between the two and that balance was not met when the quest went live.
5. Those of us who got nailed by the OP Ice Phoenix need to be fairly compensated and not with a few useless pots—rather, they need to at least give us a partial refund of actual items/units spent to clear her before she was rebalanced.
That isn’t what people are complaining about. Unavoidable damage shouldn’t in any content be able to wipe out your whole team. Then when that happens you can’t just revive you have to fill on health as well. It’s a cash grab that shouldn’t exist on a monthly quest. If this was act5.4 sure but not in something that goes away after a month.
My quake destroys modok
If u have mephisto or a ranked rogue it’s not that bad. I have neither, so it hurts
You make some good points Husky.
That being said, the complaining needs to stop. This new uncollected difficulty is a blessing. The rewards are amazing. I fully support it not being a "gimme" for everyone with any random roster to complete.
If you don't have the right tools to do the job, then wait until you do. It's the first uncollected monthly quest with a unique title that you can only get this month. It should absolutely be challenging.
I think Ice Phoenix is a rite of passage champ, similar to ROL wolvie. We should expect to see something similar on every uncollected map going forward. Not many of us could beat ROL wolvie with our first 4-40 4*... many had to wait for the right champ. You either got what I takes, or you dont...
Once again this isn’t “difficultly” this is unavoidable damage. It isn’t about having the right tools or right roster it’s all about dropping items on a monthly quest. It’s one aspect to use a team revive here and there but this 1 champ takes many team revives and full health on your champs if you fail to solo her. There is no skill.
There is zero unavoidable damage using mephisto. There are several other options available too that will minimize the damage. These are the "tools" I'm referring to.
I know my opinion isn't the popular one, but I'm being honest here. I totally understand how frustrating it is if you don't have the right tool for this job.
In a month, many of us will have a r5 5* champ. This current difficulty will feel pretty easy as long us you rank up the correct champ.
except it is about skill.
in this thread,
1. there is a guy who posted screenshots of himself one shotting ice phoenix with a 5/50,
2. there are multiple suggestions as to who to use to shrug off cold snap,
3. from personal experience, 4/55, 3/45 skill, and 5/50 mystic all survive her cold snap without taking any block or parry damage. a 4/55, 3/45, and 5/50 all survive her cold snap. one more time, a 4/55, 3/45, and 5/50 all survive her cold snap.
with skill there's really no reason to use "many team revives" and "full health champs"
Okay so then my 18 rank 5 4* are all extremely low on health compared to you as not one of them survive the coldsnap.
My r3 5*’s do survive with about 10% health. While that could be enough to make it through it’s still not a situation that should be accepted by the community. Regardless how YOU feel. Allowing kabam to throw in unavoidable damage that does up to 16k-18k damage is unacceptable by any standards. Even if YOU don’t think it is. It is people like yourself that paves the way for more unacceptable situations because YOU will just bend over an take it.
there are multiple proofs that there are ways to deal with it without using items, but you're unwilling to accept it.
these situations are unacceptable to you because you can't do it, but clearly people can without using items. it's not kabam's issue, it's yours.
Okay so you want to accept 18k unavoidable damage if you aren’t using rogue or mephisto. Gotcha. Allow kabam to stick it to the players. Good to the sides people take.
FYI. I am done exploring that level. So not my issue.
Huge difference between challenging someone's ideas, and persistently trying to call someone out. It has nothing to do with the topic. It's just plain abusive.
considering it makes that fight extremely skill based, yes i'll take it.
Block damage,
considering the rewards I think Overall the potions I had to use to get my first run through we're about right (I used about the same amount of pots on modok really just trying to work out how he worked, and none on the rest of the quest. I expect to be a bit better off in my explo runs, i only have one 4/55 an unduped drax so it seems
Reasonable To me. When i r4 my sparky I expect I could
Be lucky and do the whole
Thing with only a handful of revives. I don't consider myself a particularly skillful player. That said I actually wish this node was tweaked a little and mordoks block damage dropped a little as well but there could be room to make the rest of the fights a bit tougher. This is the big leagues, it's meant for the people who's only Challenge in the game now is the Coulson style challenges, and as my old mate coathanger pointed out, there is balls of healing this month. Maybe a regular feature could be to have a few level
3 potions and revives on the paths and a few more units (even in the other difficulties for those that want to do them first) I found the 300 units for the 6* challenge to be an exciting surprise, thanks kabam, get this lag sorted and you'd have a million likes in no time
No. You challenge my experience in the game because you don't like my points. There's a difference. When a topic is bring discussed in a debate, that's the focus. When you turn it into a trial where other people jump in and start attacking someone's credentials, that makes it personal. In a real debate, you discuss someone's ideas. You don't make an attempt to exploit them.
You are so self absorbed. It's not about you. When you make a point about something that doesn't require experience no one asks you to prove you are qualified to speak on the matter. You aren't being persecuted. I disagree with @CoatHang3r and @CapWW2 a lot but I respect their opinion on topics like this even if I disagree with them because they complete this sort of content. You aren't even uncollected so you literally can't fight the uncollected Ice Phoenix. So when you take up pages of discussion on whether she is appropriately designed you are going to get called out. This isn't a topic you should have pages of opinions about because you don't know what you are talking about. You are free to use the forums. Please stop taking over threads in which you are unqualified to speak. That doesn't mean you can't voice your opinion but you go way beyond that.
Asking about someone's experience with the content that is being discussed is not abuse.
