Keep an eye out as we move to make these more available in the future. Tier 1 Alpha Catalysts were in the Greater Gifting Crystals. I exchanged over 200 GGC and managed to build up some decent stash. Now that GGCs are no longer available, is there a replacement to the source of T1As from GGCs?

They're not gonna go away, but over time, you will be better equipped to handle them. I won't be giving away any of the encounters though! So you'll just have to wait and see!

It's available for purchase now, if people want to bypass Exploration.

For skipping content that is auto-fight material in the first place... What do you think about this? Is it a reasonable price tag? Should such a system be in place at all?

They're not gonna go away, but over time, you will be better equipped to handle them. I won't be giving away any of the encounters though! So you'll just have to wait and see! @Kabam Miike All the difficult champions in the contest have realistic counters except one. Champions like iceman, magik, mephisto, spider-man are all tough champions to face but we have in-game counters to manage them in any difficulty. All except Dormammu. The sole reason Dormammu is so difficult is because his degeneration is passive. That means it does not trigger willpower (which triggers against iceman's coldsnap) and that characters like rogue who have innate passive abilities to reduce debuff times on themself have no effect at all on his degeneration. There is no other champion in the game who inflicts passive degeneration. Mordo and Cable both can cause degeneration but they are not passive. Changing his degeneration from passive to non-passive would allow us to plan for him and bring characters such as rogue who can counter his degen at uncollected-level attack modifiers. We could even manage having his signature ability being awakened as the Alliance Quest boss if his degeneration is changed from passive to non-passive. Just wanted to share this thought with you while we were on the topic of tough champions to face especially in the uncollected difficulty.

Just wanted to share this thought with you while we were on the topic of tough champions to face especially in the uncollected difficulty. This kind of brings up the question of what a "valid counter" is. Ice Phoenix's cold snap had counters, but there was significant discussion over whether the available options was reasonable. It mostly came down to having one of a small set of special abilities which reduced or eliminated the cold snap damage. Technically, simply having a lot of health was also a valid counter to cold snap that not everyone agreed was reasonable. The original version required more health than most 4/55s had, but the modified one only delivered about 11k of damage which virtually any 5/50 or 3/45 could take (albeit with very little health left in some cases). Are these "valid counters" if you need specific champs or specific rank ups? Dormammu doesn't have a specific counter ability, but it does have a counter of sorts. Use champions that don't have self buffs, and don't trigger dexterity. Dormammu's degen is a reaction to expiring buffs. That's definitely a counter. Is it a valid counter if the counter is a tactic rather than an ability? In another game I played a while ago the players worked with the devs to create a sort of informal "bill of rights" that outlined what was "fair" and what was "not fair" to expose players to. Things like unavoidable damage was considered something to be restricted, and things like effects that would turn your attacks against your fellow players would be strictly limited. In every case where these things came up, players could open a dialog with the devs to see if they should be reduced. I don't know if something like that is possible here, and I don't know if a consensus could be reached even if it was. But absent something like that, I don't think these discussions tend to go anywhere interesting, because everyone seems to have their own ideas of what is fair, and we don't have any idea where the devs are on this subject. I feel like they think everything is fair game, and I don't think that's always the healthiest position to take. Because it encourages players to think likewise. In a perfect world, I think the devs would shoot straight and just say "this is what we think is fair in the current state of the game." But I don't think I live in that world.

No units and no t1as in uncollected quest. This needs to change ASAP. No reason we shouldn’t get t1as and units are offered in every aspect of the game content why none in the uncollected quest makes no sense. The Uncollected Difficulty rewards are all about collecting Higher Rarity Champions and Rank Up Materials! This is why they're focused on 4-Star, 5-star and 6-Star Hero Crystal Shards, as well as Tier 4 and 5 Catalyst Fragments! Units and Tier 1 Alphas are available in other difficulties.

Yes, you can still get 4-Star and 5-Star shards in other modes with some regularity, but Tier 2 Alpha Fragments (in this amount), Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments, and 6-Star Hero Crystal Fragments are most readily available here. Tier 1 Alpha Catalysts are available in lots of other places, and we know you all want more of them, but this is not going to be the place to get them. Keep an eye out as we move to make these more available in the future.

We're now going out of our way to make sure that if there is a Magik, or Iceman, or champion that causes Damage Over Time that is difficult to avoid, that we are scaling their Signature abilities way back and making them more manageable.
