The change to the monthly quest is really annoying

2/10 . Bad job

Comments

I haven’t started the new EQ, mainly because I’m busy outside of game and I’d like to boost my prestige a little before I do.

Could someone screenshot some defenders, nodes, etc.? I keep hearing a lot of negativity (which sounds deserved, given the recent EQ feedback), but I also hear a lot of players who don’t have a particular problem with it.

Simple request: screenshots, nodes, etc. I’m about to be in an airport and I’d like to take a look at what is and isn’t objectionable.

Thanks

This is a terrible change.. no way in hell I’m burning all those resources for laughable rewards. As a veteran player who spends more than I should on this game, this one may actually be the thing that stops my spending and significantly reduces my time on the game. If this is the direction it’s going in, I’ll be headed the other way. The classic difficulty wasn’t hard but the Elder is nothing more than a resource suck. Like someone above, I got to the to end of path two, didn’t read the nodes and didn’t bring a poison immune. It’s an impossible task without one, so I wasted a ton of health pots and several revives. Shame on me for not reading and shame on Kabam for making such decidedly un-player friendly content. I will vigorously defend their right as a business to make a profit. I will also vigorously defend - and use - my ability as a consumer to spend elsewhere. You finally did it Kabam. You pushed me out.

Absolute worst change ever to EQ. Had started playing this game as a stress buster from work 5 years ago. The game has become the biggest stress in life now. Don’t think I can keep up.

I hate it, but that doesn't matter. Kabam is determined to destroy any enjoyment of this game, so objections will fall on deaf ears anyway. Just don't participate if you don't like it, it's not worth the time or effort.

this new format is so confusing. We said we wanted to spend less time on EQ and we wanted quests that were more simple. I was on board with the idea of adaptive rewards but this EQ is the worst in this game’s history. I don’t understand why classic fights are already 800k health and so much attack. Then on top of it, elder is just absurd. It’s crucible style with just as much health and attack but the choice nodes don’t heal you. So not only are we spending more time on EQ (opposite of what we wanted) now it’s an item sink too. This is such a massive L and I’m just skipping EQ altogether. Get it together Kabam.

SideKickin

Yup... not spending and certainly not gonna GRIND more content. Eq was the one thing that was fun and challenging without being work.

Kabaam... you peeps are totally lost. Its an effin phone game at the end of the day. Little more listening and a lot less tweaking would probably be a great place to start moving forward. Straight baffoons!

The nodes itself arent the biggest problem, their stats are the real deal, our attack doesn't scales up enough to deal a good chunk of damage, if you're going to use 7* r1 it will feel like things are really slow and you can'tlet your champ get hit, never, cause they kill you in one combo.

Damage through block, even ifyou parry eats your health bar away.

this change to EQ is not good, 800k health pools, very unforgiving. Champs dont get full health when going to a new fight like in crucible, i have no desire to do it. Kabam what is your malfunction? Stop changing things if we wanted hard content we can always do long form content. This reminds me of the time you guys nerfed SW and DS, you almost lost your player base. I give you A for trying but its time to call it and change it back or atleast tone it down considerably!

yea I got to that Joe and I’m really contemplating not doing eq this month. Cause I’m gonna be forced to r1 7* or 6*s. I’m a 6.2 mil rated acc with 5 r4 7* and I don’t have 16 mutants that work. Some champs just straight up don’t work with the fury node aa and domino are main examples they just don’t gain furies cause of their aa reduction.

KabamWasWRONG,..for making this dumb ass change to EQ.

Soul2eaver

the change for classic difficulty is whatever.

It’s elder difficulty that really bites into your resources, only 1 champ allowed, pick a different one every fight, but no healing.

Meanwhile your dealing with champs that can chip away at you even with perfect parries.

You won’t make it through without potions or revives, which I usually save those for harder/longer content like necro.

lame update.

Pirate_bae123

So you are looking at 5-6 hours for elderly completion at least. Lol you are tripping kabam. No 3 champs for 3 fights. No restored health pools between fights. Very boring, tedious, very disappointed. I won't even do classic. Not fun.

OldManHop

I'm just waiting to see how the dailies feel when they drop, but I strongly suspect that this is going to be my last month in this game.

DarkKnight75

& for the mutant quest we have the biohazard. The champs take Bleed damage for hitting the opponent. Of course there is 90% reduction but the will power healing is much less compared to the opponents 10% attack rating which is dealt as damage. Simply can’t be done with 6 star rank 4s or low 7 stars. How many bleed immune mutants are you supposed to have.

Terrible terrible execution.

FabiusBR

Worthless piece of content. It will get no more of my time or items. Horrible idea.

reddeath

Months of testing different Valiant formats, finally getting to what the community liked, difficulty and rewards wise, only for kabam to completely abondon everything and go with this ****.

30 energy refills to complete content (with reduced acquisition of refills), adding in irrelevant rewards for valiant players (5* shards) and locking the main rewards behind elder difficulty with huuuge health pools and requiring 16 rank ups for each class (with specific node requirements) and then implementing a new prestige system to incentivise certain rank ups.

YOU HAVE COMPLETELY KILLED YOUR CASUAL GAMEPLAY!

Completely reinventing the carrot at the end of the stick, although while buying the allegiance of content creators with CCP 2.0.

You are very confident for someone that is hanging on by a thread, a game riddled with bugs, every update launch is broken, AI inconsistencies, banning players for a day or so on content day for attempting your new approach.

One piece of advice, if it ain't broke, DONT FIX IT!

NomadWarrior

Not playing for sure. I think the content for casual gamers in this game has been on a steady decline. I think Kabam servers are overloaded and they are reaching a stage where they actually want us to play less. 😂

I Just decided to not play EQ this month, it doesn't add up, ill probably just play arena and try on some old content that I've been neglecting.

Let green day be my words and "wake me up when September ends"

I don’t usually comment here, but I felt compelled to today. I have to agree with everything that’s already been said about the changes to the monthly event quest. The difficulty spike combined with reduced rewards makes the experience feel punishing instead of rewarding.

Day-to-day gameplay has gotten far too complicated—I feel like I need a notebook and a full game plan just to make progress anymore. Kabam needs to remember that players often turn to games as an escape from the stresses of real life. The last thing we want is to feel even more frustrated by something that’s supposed to be fun.

If this trend continues, I worry many players will simply lose interest. Challenging content is fine, but it has to feel fair and worth the effort. Right now, it doesn’t.

ThaGenius_

Man this forum is full of cry babies lmaoo. Im glad i still enjoy the game after 9 years. I laugh at how but hurt people are over this game lmaooo. smh its entertaining to read about hoe annoying or difficult or blah blah blah lollllll its a mobile game people. I hope you have the same level of concern with things in you guys real lives.

Love you all ;)

sho_nuff31

Agreed. Kabam really missed the mark with these. I have never posted before in all my years playing this game but this was so bad I had to rant about it.

Shavra911

This game is so confusing now. I remember when I first started, was excited to get certain champs to lvl them up and fight certain villains from comic books. The game just seemed so simple and I got a lot of satisfaction out of it.

Now I got to worry about kabams future of mcoc, and their bright ideas that are not even fun anymore. I find their ideas very confusing, I have to watch you tube to figure these quest out and read a huge list not to do in a fight, why? Every update just comes more disappointing, with many new bugs, bugs and more bugs that don’t get fixed. Who remembers when they refused to fix the parry mecmechanic. It’s the same with the ai now, when will this get fixed, and show some acknowledgement to this problem. Just to poke a dead bear, this eq is a disaster with people. Getting banned for playing this game for not cheating, text book reasons to make people quit your product.

djroy1990

so does this mean that there is no paragon and valiant modes this month?? can someone please confirm. i though there was discussion that they would be retuning to the 1st version of the valiant quest… with the crucible mode from a couple of months back... so what changed?

i miss the rewards of the paragon gauntlet and the variant quest. at my prestige level im getting barely any titan shards upon completing classic mode. as opposed to last month where we had a few thousands provided. same for 7 star awakening shards. does this event only replace the monthly event quest or the whole thing? the fights are so long and give nothing!

Wozzle007

This has missed the mark by so much. It’s so bad, this MEQ update is awful. The jump from previous months to this is insane. Its pushing me to think do I really want to continue playing the game.

Dozer78

0/10 recommend the game after this update. It's 100% a unit and money grab. I'm a low skill player and played the monthly EQ for fun and to farm units to complete other events and areas in the game.
