Kabam please do something about these stupid node combos🙏



@Kabam Miike @Kabam Jax
this is sector 9 zone 21
It is hard as is to get to later zones without using revives and units. And after using so many of them, and then you get a node combo that needs a specific counter what is one supposed to do , no matter how many units you use you cannot get through!
Please try these node combos yourself before adding them in the mode!

I stopped doing Incursions after the revamp.
Yea i think so too that they are generated randomly but kabam should create a code or something so as to prevent such node combos.
There are plenty of problems
Now let’s say that a fight has 7 node combinations, like what you’ve screenshotted above.
I believe the formula to work out the possible combinations of X items (nodes) in groups of Y is
(X)! / (X - Y)! * (Y)!
Which when the numbers go in is
100! / 93! * 7!
(Though anyone can correct me if I’m wrong)
This gives a possible number of combinations of:
1.6 x10^10
That’s 16,000,000,000 possible sets of nodes that could come up. Also remember that we went extremely conservatively with the estimation of nodes in incursions. If you add another 50 nodes it jumps up to 290 billion combinations. Add 20 on top of that and you’ve hit 700 billion. When you only have 170 nodes in the pool.
There are about 150 nodes from A-C alphabetically on Aunt Ma.I - the total combinations are much much higher than the ones we’ve worked out here.
I’m not sure it’s so easy to write some code that prevents “bad combos” to turn up. What’s a “bad combo” anyway? I don’t think many want to be the person who has to go through all the hundreds of billion combinations and figure out which ones are good and bad.
Incursions is random, it’s not really possible to find a way to get rid of all the bad combinations. You just have to deal with some death matches sometimes.
Some summoners previously suggested a modok dice kind of thing.
It's possible that a proportion of nodes on a defender are random & others are intentional....but it's definitely not a 100% random
It sounds to me that you want only the rewards with a few simple fights.
Also, not every aspect of the game is meant for every summoner. This is similar to some of the Carina’s challenges. It is extremely difficult and really unnecessary to find a perfect scenario that every summoner has an equal likelihood to succeed at with no caveats.
Node combo sucks, but it’s also possible that you might be at a lower level of difficulty/roster progression than who they targeted this content towards. It’s supposed to really only be for the extremely top-end of the top of the summoner player base.
Getting to zone 25 isn't supposed to be easy
This is bs man, there should be a safeguard preventing some node combination that makes the opponent literally unkillable, but i doubt this could happen, cause just f.. us right? Have some RNG and GL. Less work and more resourses spent for Kabam
