Hy Guys just wanted to know how the community felt about this month
Personally it wasn’t my month. The difficulty spike was too much for me. The struggle in cav and throne-breaker ain’t even over.. not sure if I can finish either…. The energy use felt way more but maybe I just played less .. because it was that difficult for me didn’t enjoyed the paths or the bosses it’s a struggle I am trying to get trough but time starting to tick faster then I can play… having to redo paths over and over because I get stuck.
But that’s just one view … would love to hear others.

Cav difficulty removed all the nodes it used to have and not runs just a straight 40% attack benefit for the attacker.
So what area did you struggle with?
As shown by Seatin getting to TB in just 25 days. What that really means is that you have the titles but your roster is very lean in terms of depth.
Trying to tackle content like Act 7, 8 or MEQs will be a challenge until you start getting more resources and champs.
Those of us who came up before this crazy fast title progression, have diverse rosters and content is easier for us.
But the good news is, once you start getting more pieces to that puzzle, that content gets easier. Cavalier is already easier because there is less restrictions on who to bring as attackers.
It's not likely that you're bad at the game but you haven't seen enough or done enough to counter nodes and defenders.

I spent a few revives here and there (mostly on Zemo)
All in all I think it was okay-ish, I'm fine with it for a single month like this, maybe even 2-3 but I think I'd get unmotivated by it quite fast
Although some lanes on the later quests were not easy as well, but in my opinion that is fair on the highest difficulty. I was also happy with the rewards.
Two main suggestions tho:
Since there are more difficulties to explore i would appreciate a bit less energy costs / reduced refreshing time, because this month is the first in ages i can't finish all EQ difficulties without using big amounts of refills.
The other thing is with the quest specific nodes, they should not be affected by AAR, so that you can benefit with all champs who fall under the node target group. I remember the tech one is almost always super annoying when parry is involved, like in the past months there was the power drain on parry and then get the fury passive. Almost never works because of the AAR on stun
I’d say between input issues, shady AI (won’t throw specials with obvious baiting, throwing heavies when I’m only blocking for a millisecond) and high block damage taken, this month I was already burned out and I’m to the point of just taking a long break if this is what I have to look forward to in terms of future content. Sad part is the side quest threat lvl 5 I had no issues except quicksilver and he even wasn’t even rage inducing to the point of this months eq.
Just find it to be false advertisement because it seems that Kabam wants you to be very close to paragon to be able to deal with this content. Sad part is I’ve been thronebreaker for awhile so I can’t even imagine how it was for a player who just got thronebreaker.
Everything felt driven to feel like I had options if played very well, but I just didn't have fun with it and not really a fan of long restrictive fights unless in a special quest like EoP.
I watched Jason Voorhees after my first pass to see what I could have done better, but the Zemo fight just looked boring, repetitive and long.
3.2, it just was poorly designed node defender combos (or well designed if you are a twad). But someone needs balance out challenging and fun versus, long, tedious and to the point of being annoying.
I understand not everyone has the same thoughts on it, but that's ok. That's my feedback.
For me, the increased difficulty combined with the bosses selected just made it not worth doing. I hope next month is a better experience.
I can see what you’re saying about the complaining and fast title progression but in my experience even with a diverse 5* roster, this months eq was still crazy in terms of a steep learning curve and I play slow in terms of doing the progression difficulty I’m at and developing a roster so I don’t hit a wall later. I’ll never say I’m a pro but I’ve been playing since 2018 and it’s been a bit since I hit a wall hard like this in terms of completing content. I don’t do Everest content or the gauntlets of EoP or SoP but I can beat the single bosses of EoP and SoP without using too many revives but I was getting demolished in 3.1 and 3.2 badly, like I was back fighting the grandmaster boss to become thronebreaker. I’ve never thrown so many revives in regular eq like this before and found it odd to make it harder than EoP. It just seemed in my experience that this difficulty is more geared toward thronebreaker players about to become paragon, not mid to low tier thronebreaker unless you’re an extremely skilled interceptor.
In February, I’ll probably just do ch 1 and 2 and stop until I get a stronger 6* roster going cuz this month was a huge waste of revives and energy refills getting stuck at ch 3.2. This was probably an intentional hike in difficulty anyway to force players to buy revives to make Kabams Q1 earnings look better since it’s usually a slow business quarter for them after all the holiday spending.
