What’s your AQ strategy?

in General Discussion
I’ve been in (and now am leader) of the same alliance for the last several years. We run map 8, and the highest rank we’ve achieved is 118, so not too shabby. But lately we have struggled to complete the map every day or even most, and AQ seems to be the point where we lose players, who don’t think the effort is worth it.

As AQ struggles to remain relevant, we’re at a crossroads. You can’t grind everything (at least we can’t). We like War (gold 1/plat 4 territory), and we like Battlegrounds (no minimum requirement but we do well).

My question is, how do other alliances handle AQ? Is there a combination of maps/mods that produces a decent enough score without an unnecessary grind? We sometimes take map 5 breaks when we are all busy, but the score after 5 days just doesn’t impress me. And frankly, for many of us map 5 is just dull, at least map 8 has some challenges.

    See right here people can’t even find motivation to run map 8 anymore cuz the mode is so bland and boring. They are losing players cuz AQ is the lamest thing ever created. Just get rid of it for a 1 day a week alliance raid

    No one wants to commit to 5 straight days of the same mind numbingly dumb thing over and over

    Again, it depends on the set of folks you are with and what goal you want to achieve.
    I do map8, and SSX is top45 AQ.
    But maybe a more "chill" goal is hit 600 million in aq with the right modifiers in Map6.
    It is a discussion you need to have with your teammates, also remember AQ is going to change after the next cycle.

    We run 3 BGs of Map 6 and finish around 450. We 100% every day fairly easily unless multiple people are simultaneously unavailable for some reason.

    Ticket costs make 7 and 8 not worth the rewards. We'll probably give map 8 a try once they drop the costs in a couple weeks.

    I find map 8 a bit easier than 6&7, you have backups in sections 1&3 so you only need 8 in each of those.

    Ha that’s the thing, we usually have 25 people that are fine with it, and the rest burn out or otherwise lose interest in that grind. So we’re spinning our wheels unless we can find a few more addicts like us.

    But maybe AQ is the place to chill so that grinding elsewhere isn’t so taxing
