DIMENSIONAL ARCADE, DOOM CYCLE - CHECK IN!

Kabam (Osaurus) Rex · July 24

Hey there folks!

It's been a few hours since the newest Game Mode in MCOC, Dimensional Arcade, has opened its doors -
Summoners have been bashing Doombots and Questing with their favorite Fantastic Family!

So, what’s your verdict on Dimensional Arcade?
Are you vibing with the nostalgic arcade style?
Interested in the Mastery system or finding those Doombot battles a bit tricky?

An important thing to note is that this is a first-time iteration of a mode like this -
Meant to lean into the rogue-like elements of Idle RPGS.
This won't replace any core gameplay of MCOC.

Drop all your thoughts - positive, negative, and everything in between - below.
I want to hear you on how you think this new mode is shaping up in the Battlerealm so far!

This is by far the worst content that has ever been put into the game.

The_Dude · July 24

There’s zero control of the characters, you just sit there and watch your champ be bashed. The only chance of moving forward is to buy tickets to get the boosts at the end of each wave. Seriously, what a waste of… everything. Whoever designed and put time into this and whoever approved this tripe to be added to the game should be fired.

Way too monetized right out the gate

Barlin · July 24

Are the masteries supposed to reset after each chapter? I am on chapter 3 and have none all of the sudden.

CheeseMaster482 · July 24

Why are we only given 3 daily tries in a ROGUELITE MODE??????

Do you guys not know the main appeal of Roguelite and Roguelikes is the replayability aspect????? You are literally expected to keep dying and dying until you get a good run with the best items.

Squidopus · July 24

Maybe I’ll have more feedback once I do more than 3 runs.

Truly, having to pay to engage with a test mode is one of the strangest things y’all have done. Usually people pay for feedback, rather than asking testers to pay them for the privilege of being lab rats.

Boring and slow. People choose to play MCOC to avoid this genre of auto fighting games.
Also, there s 3 defenders and you get hit FOUR times? Wth?
And, a really bad moce adding Resesarch Grants to the rewards, forcing summoners to play this.

Wozzle007 · July 24

I’ve already seen from another thread from Kabam Pinwheel has heard the feedback about the limited amount of energy available to engage in the new content.

I did 3 runs, this really isn’t enough to form a solid opinion. I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it. I’m struggling to see how this fits with MCOC and how this will keep me engaged on my main account other than being a means to end for some crystal shards. I don’t know I’ll want to play this for fun.

Buttehrs · July 24

The gameplay doesn't exactly fit with that mcoc is. At least the poker side quest has that going on still. But for the rewards vs effort involved its fine.

ShadowMosez89 · July 24

Quite boring actually, probably the worst content to put inside MCOC. Feels like a different game completely.

Rayven5220 · July 24

When I seen this first announced I was under the impression we would actually get to PLAY the mode, like an arcade game. But nope, nothing of the sort. Hit a couple buttons, watch the FF and doom bots fight and hope you win.

BigBlueMadness11 · July 24

I don't even see the option to try it out. Is it bugged or am I just blind?

Badah · July 24

Just doing it to get the Doombots, otherwise wouldn’t even touch it

captain_rogers · July 24

Atleast let us choose one of 3-4 moves each turn like pokemon.

captain_rogers · July 24

Can someone please let me know how to get the titan shards for free?

...okay now I can't get the mental image of a Doombot saying "Doooooooombot" as it hits out of my head. Thanks for that lol

Furrymoosen · July 24

Boring and pointless is an understatement. At least the available rewards are worth the "effort" put in to a game mode we don't really have to play. I'm not a fan of turn based RPGs and this is worse than that. No challenge, no gameplay, no point. Creativity is nice, but almost certainly is something better put into the game as it exists rather than the endless new things could be added.

phillgreen · July 24

Where do I find this quest?

phillgreen · July 24

Never mind. Found it.

Jefechuta · July 24

A few things, let us speed it up, and damn, dont try to make a ton of money out of it immediatelly, putting 24h timer for each run its a little bit too much, maybe an 8h or 12h timer would be more balanced

Its not a quest. its outside the game basically. on the home screen is a button under the daily super event button that will open a browser window to play. Don't close the browser window till done or it won't save your progress and you will lose an entry

Xleb · July 24

At least explain what is special about each Doombot? Red applies incineration, green gets regeneration, and what about the rest? It wouldn't be so important if you couldn't do it without a donate play only 81 times

LBN1 · July 24

Absolutely horrible, delete this game mode ASAP.

DrFunnyguy · July 24

This mode is hot garbage. Disgusting, rotting, eye watering, flaming hot, GARBAGE!!!

DMH525 · July 24

How is this a “game mode”? You don’t do anything! You just sit there and stare at your phone, I appreciate trying new things but this was a miss. I’ll do it for the rewards but it feels like homework.

horrendous_too · July 24

As to my actual opinion.
1. Its boring. pick some masteries and go. I have had more interactions when farming revives.
2. The entry system is completely bonkers for a beta mode. This one I really don't understand. You guys have run betas for years. They always have unlimited energy and revives to deal with the bugs that will definitely occur. But instead we have 3 tries (2 in my case) and then well come back tomorrow. Not even titan shards is worth that aggravation. If you want us to test out your "new ideas" make it so we actually can. Don't try to bleed us for money on something that already has bugs.
3. There is no actual information in either the video walkthough or the first set of waves. Yes it says some stuff about whats happening. But there is no info on the enemies, what powers they have, what damages they take. So again we have limited entries and yet there is no way to strategize besides going in and dying and then trying something else.

I concur that this may be the worst addition in years.

BassanoClapper · July 24

Came here out of confusion. Did an ‘AI’ produce the in-game update text? It made very little sense

Reading here and seeing what the deal is…. wow!

How can we get new ideas like Fantastic Force Recruitment (different, thoughtful, fun) and this… dumpster fire from the same team?

LordSmasher · July 24

Like WTF?

Giantwalrus56 · July 24

I've already cleared stage 2 twice but when I go back in, it's not cleared
