    I really wish they'd stop putting important stuff at the end of the victory track. Make it points based instead. As someone newly Valiant, with a still Paragon roster, I'm finding it nearly impossible to finish the VC, and I've spent thousands of Marks trying to get there, but hit a wall in the first level of Vibranium.

    Making it points based would still draw people to the mode (which I assume is the intention), but also allow people to still actually have a chance, if Matchmaking doesn't work in their favor.

    Completely agree. That's the only one that for many people will be rng matchmaking based. You could be unlucky and just never get there

    Same here. Not a BGs fan & was thinking earlier that the 5k units for that 1 piece might be costly, but not as RNG related. Not to mention, the annoyance & all around general BS related BG stuff...

    So I’m trying to work out the Omega days, if I want all milestones taking out everything from milestones, then I still need to cough up around 40k units? Please tell me my math is very off

    It’s a little over 36k

    That’s a hell of a lot. £2700 😂. Unless you have saved

    The promo code was announced around 2 am in my area. I would like at least a day's grace.

    Good point, well made!

    I really think the progression changes are not good.
    The reason why I am against it is from a different point of view. I don't care so much for other players progressing the new way. The part that is not fair at all is for example this Poolies event. Paragon got pretty much screwed and put in the same reward bracket as TB. If a player can get to TB by just ranking up champs, they should not be in the same rewars bracket as a player who has to get content done to reach his progression.
    Before anyone assumes anything I am Valiant and I am not speaking for myself.

    36.9k so close to the 40k

    When do the alternate/"new ways to progress" take effect? I didn't hear kabam_mike say it on stream.

    Great question. It will be after the next build of the game is on everyone's device!
    Just updated. No change.

    I am the same. I updated my game, and I my progression still hasn't changed.

    It’s not live yet. It will be as stated above once the next build is on everyone’s device. That means when they force everyone to upgrade on Wednesday.

    May Content - The Train Job/Knull's Lair

    Side quest is a map with 4 paths and we get entry keys in the mail every week. Each path has a trap node pointing to the Knull boss, and exploration unlocks a quest that is only a Knull boss with all nodes active

    Full Details

    Negasonic Teenage Warhead/Silver Sable

    NTW builds lots of incinerates, and inflicts incinerate vulnerability. She has a mashing function similar to Howard on her special 2. All of her attacks are non-contact + energy, and she can evade counter-attacks (eg. bullseye, kate, elsa). Every effect she has is passive, including the parry stun. She is expected to be a great counter to skill champions, especially bullseye.

    Silver Sable rewards intercepts by building up shocks. She can inflict passive tracking and disorients, and has a trap mechanic like Kraven, although she can have multiple traps simultaneously, and instead of rooting, it inflicts energy burst damage. She can convert her shocks into critical passives, and her heavy can't miss. She is anticipated to be a solid questing champ, as she benefits from some ramping.

    Deep Dives go live over the weekend

    X-Magica Incursions

    New Ways to Progress

    There are going to be alternative means of achieving some progression titles (Conqueror, Uncollected, Cav, Thronebreaker). These are a separate path than the standard story progression, meant as an alternative for people that don't want to play story content. The late game and very early game progressions still require story completion.



    NOTE: These requirements exist in parallel to the normal story requirements. Standard story progression will still reward progression titles as it always has
