How can they argue that the game is tested adequately before content is released when these kinds of bugs slip though the cracks on what seems like a monthly basis?
Again, we're making an assumption when something this glaring happens, that it was not intentional.
Yeah fair point. As was mentioned earlier this could be an attempt by KABAM to test run a new intentional node combo for other possibly permanent content. Which in my opinion, is actually much worse.
Hold on, was there an actual problem with the nodes? I used my R5 5* Mojo for most of the fights, built up thumbs up for SP2, then did the knock down, intercept, knock down repeat, until they just died from the stacking passive degen. The hardest one I had was for Havok cuz I accidentally brought 3 energy attackers: HT, Bishop and Mojo, and my warlock was near dead from Sinister.
The game team has found the issue and has a fix for it planned for later today!
What was the issue/what’s getting fixed?
You basically have to knock the defender down twice to get protection off.
Knock down the first time just adds unstoppable while the protection stays…. This is contrary to the node description and makes the node super annoying. And with havoc, basically a unit man fight unless you get compliant AI.
The node needs to either be re named and worded correctly: eg. Getting knocked down twice removes protection or fix the node to do as said and compensate for items/money used. Very unprofessional Kabam
I was able to get through this without much trouble.
I used guillotine 2099 for sinister and havok and never knock them down. It actually didnt take too long to ramp up and kill them. Silver centurion and she hulk for the rest: parry heavy will apply slow and everything works the way it should.
Also, should KABAM put a banner in place above the side quest menu saying that the node is bugged and suggest that players wait for a fix? That seems like the honourable and correct thing to do (And they've done it in the past)....
I ended up forcing myself to do things in the (really) hard way without waiting for a fix.
Used 5* R4 G2099 for Storm, Sinister and Havok (almost 300 hits on each fight), Black Cat for the other fights (60% AAR), and Torch for Mojo
It took an unnecessary amount of time, and i still hope changes are made. (Maybe compensation for those who used resources? Although that would possibly be asking for way too much)

They move things to bugs and ask us to not spam the board with this stuff but we are left with no answers or updates for unacceptable amounts of time. What choice do we have? The best I can tell this issue has been forgotten.

Sure seems like it. “It will be fixed later today” and nothing happens. And no updates for over 24 hours. No acknowledgment in game. People burning potions and revives on a bugged node for a quest that ends in 4 days.

Well really the choice is to do the content or skip it. It's really up to each of us to decide for ourselves if rewards for doing it it outweigh the annoyances of doing it.

We have the choice to do all sorts of distasteful things or not for good reason or not. That really has nothing to do with this discussion. Of course we can do that but it would be easier to swallow if we were told we have no choice but to run it as is and not just left hanging. Having the choice to do it doesn’t have anything to do with the issue at hand and sure isn’t a solution. We had that choice from the start.

If that’s the choice, then they shouldn’t have acknowledged the bug and promised a fix was being implemented. Or say “yeah it’s bugged, but we don’t care. Suck it up.”
The facts are they acknowledged the bugged node and said a fix was coming. Not our fault for having expectations- no matter how misguided.

Please tell me what other choice there is? The question I was responding to was "What choice do we have?" which made this part of the discussion.
Doing it means you accepted that you are going to do the content knowing it is broken and you feel the rewards are worth it.
Not doing it means you do not find the rewards for doing the content worth doing at this time.
If Kabam decides to do something about it, you then are presented similar choices.

I agree, it's not our fault for being told that a fix was coming. And it's not our fault it is bugged content that is going to be going away soon. Players have been painted into a corner and have a decision now to make...

Again, irrelevant. The “what choice do we have” argument as in regards to making multiple threads on the same topic on the board. Because folks are looking for answers to the question of when or if it can be fixed, not asking if they can “just do the content as is”. Since this started we could have “just done it anyway” but here we are discussing the issue and seeing what may be done about it on the Kabam board. What possible help does “you could just do it or not” have in a big report update thread? The choice we have is to get some information from Kabam before we decide to waste resources on an option we had from the minute the content dropped. But we need an update to make that decision more easy to make.

I used my R5 5* Mojo for most of the fights, built up thumbs up for SP2, then did the knock down, intercept, knock down repeat, until they just died from the stacking passive degen.
The hardest one I had was for Havok cuz I accidentally brought 3 energy attackers: HT, Bishop and Mojo, and my warlock was near dead from Sinister.
Knock down the first time just adds unstoppable while the protection stays…. This is contrary to the node description and makes the node super annoying. And with havoc, basically a unit man fight unless you get compliant AI.
Oh.
I used guillotine 2099 for sinister and havok and never knock them down. It actually didnt take too long to ramp up and kill them. Silver centurion and she hulk for the rest: parry heavy will apply slow and everything works the way it should.

It’s just hideous. Can confirm the protection doesn’t drop off like the node says
