Most annoying node/mechanic in your opinion?

I'm curious, what do you guys think is the most annoying node or mechanic to deal with in the game?
I'll go first.. glancing. By far.

That node combo they had for the last months side quest event that was bugged

That's on Juggs this months EQ 1.2

I'm surprised no one mentioned Strength in Numbers, especially before the Act 6 changes

Yeah, we will see more of it too sadly

That unstoppable/unblockable node on squirrel girl in this week’s sidequest. Way too easy to get locked in a corner.

BugGrounds is very annoying at the moment

Any paradox nodes. Thank God we seem to be passed that.
Why was the paradox hated so much? I rather enjoyed them ... the weapon nodes in act 8 are good but I thought they was too easy, kind of like the EQ class boosting nodes
I didn’t enjoy the buffed based ones because of dex counting as two buffs, but otherwise I agree that I don’t understand the hate. It added a unique mechanic in the game that rewarded skill and attention. I can’t imagine how much easier it would feel to me now with the number being 12 instead 9. I also agree that the weapon mechanic is too easy and to me it made 8.1 feel easier than much of Act 7.

I got through act 7 and thought I'd have a hard time with ch 1 of act 8 but it was probably the most fun content I've done in a while....with Amazing rewards to boot. I'm sure act 8 will get much harder going forward tho

I forgot the name of the node, but my most hated node is the one where you have to knock them down a bunch so you eventually have a 3-second period to kill them (which of course is never long enough)
Also No Retreat ofc
As for mechanic... probably glancing. I can't tell you how annoying it is to miss out on guaranteed crits and such because of a mechanic that literally has no counter. This is especially true for Ant-Man under a Size Matters node and the one where glancing deals damage back to you, since no matter your size you are still going to glance and thus take damage.

Life cycle 👌

Spiked armour has done me in a couple times. If there was ever a matchup of spiked armour and crit me with your best shot I would definitely uninstall

Squalor I think it was called, the one where you can't have zero power or you'll be damaged especially combined with Languor where distance plays a part in power gained. I think it was a set-up for one of last month's side quests

I still really really dislike lifecycle. Eventhou there are pretty easy ways around it. I still find it really really annoying

Coward is super annoying.

Coward..

Burrito2525

The one where they alternate unstoppable and unblockable

Jack2634

That node where you have to SPAM block 100 times to kill the opponent. Like what is the ****?

can confirm . Idk how many times i almost broke my phone seeing that coward node in the first 2-3 zone sector 9

Jack2634

Mesmerize . fkers evaded like it is 70% while the node said 7 **** percent and full combo me into oblivion during that stun . Most stupid node design ever

honorable mentions : 300% power gain in tech variant ( path that have like strange , havok ,... which i have no idea how i was able to do it with 4 star ghost back in the days) , freezer burn , do not go gentle , thermostat and a million more

Rasilover

Root, Disorent, Vivified, Spite, Burden of Might, any miss node, fun and interactive damage nodes, etc

Whatever node that Squirrel Girl has in TL5 of Date Game. Fury - Unstoppable - Unblockable is no fun, once you are in your corner, say goodbye to your one shot attempt.
Then Falter, I will not Miss that if it is gone tomorrow.

Try doom or any mystic champion. Stagger her once and keep on staggering

Doom makes that fight almost comically easy. To the point I forgot to actually maintain the neutralise and accidentally gave her unblockable and unstoppable so had to dance around while they dropped off

That unstoppable/unblockable node on squirrel girl in this week’s sidequest. Way too easy to get locked in a corner.

Fully agreed, I was just about to write the same thing.

It doable this time around be the counter Node give enough variety of champs to counter.

But the Solo objective clearly shown how bad it can be if the counter node wasn't there (i.e doing it without a Mystic champs). Sure hope the game designer not going to use this Node again 🙏🙏🙏

Who says you have to do it without a Mystic champ?

Do 90-95% of the fight with a Mystic, then die or quit, and finish it with a Science to grab the objective.

Do the "finish in one go" objective on another run, with a mystic.

Hi @PantherusNZ

That is exactly what I did with Threat Level 4 and 5, but in my opinion it does feel that it was against the spirit of the game, both in term of the objectives and how I (and a lot of players) have completed it.

The idea of the game have always been creating a challenges and players test their skill & roster to over and completed that challenge, and yes, we usually get amazing players that come up with wondering, out of the box idea to do the challenges. However intentional KOed yourself at the last 5-1% and then switch to finish the fighr doesn't feel like good designed content for me.

As for the Node, if you noticed I did said it is doable this time round.

However what if next time Kabam design team, decided to use the 1st Node (that give Fury, Unstoppable and Unblockable), but does not pair it up with something manageable like the 2nd Node (apply Neutralizer with Mystic), what if that counter Node required a very specific champs that we don't have, can you imagine how much of a nightmare the 1st Node would be?

Mix master and lifecycle are two of my least favorite nodes although I've gotten a lot better at lifecycle after completing act 6 I still avoid any path that has mixmaster on it as I'm terrible at it.
