What the actual F am I supposed to do here??

I liked the monthly EQ they royally fudged that up.
I liked the chill SQs they turned the difficulty upto a 100 and now its not even enjoyable.
I thought the only place I could chill n play would be BGs then, NO , HOW DARE I THINK THEY WOULDN'T F*CK UP EVERY SINGLE MODE?

I'm GENUINELY crashing out right now, first the exorbitant energy costs for the daily events , decrease in the number for free energy refills and now they're increasing energy consumption as a whole, jesus f*ckin christ man, can i just play my goddam game in peace and not have you people trying to fix what's not broken??
In the span of a month the devs have managed to make EVERY SINGLE WRONG DECISION they could have made, I dont want to see this game die , I love it , but kabam is literally trying making this so tedious to play the game its ridiculous, everything has been on a downward spiral since this patch dropped, half a step in the right direction is immediately followed up by a marathon in the wrong one, is it that hard for the devs of a decade long running game to gather genuine feedback from the community and implement the changes they request??

Have you tried 9.3? I found it to be relatively easier compared to previous acts. Might be a better use of energy than EQ (which I skipped) and SQ (which I did and very much disliked).

Wait… you’re tagging out @JESUSCHRIST in your thread?

Try your hand at some arena. No energy cost… yet.

Even the Daily quests are ruined. Rewards are decent enough to not ignore them, but they (A) Use up a lot of energy and (B) Autofight can be used but the healthpools and AI are such that it still takes a lot of time for it to autocomplete.

Yes, I can choose not to autofight and actually fight, but it is not fun (its the same defenders, their healthpools and difficulties don't merit actually playing the match)

The time I had budgeted to play MCOC is eaten up by not playing the game (because of the autofight), and the energy needed to play MCOC is eaten up by autofighting.

The consequence is the game for me has devolved into logging in once to autofight a few paths and then having no energy/time left to play (unless I log in again later in the day). And so, if all I am doing is logging in once a day to autofight, why am I even playing this game?

Here I am

I just finished level 5 SQ 4 times, to put it nicely, it's challenging but not fun for the same rewards, no sense of achievement when you are getting what you used to get when it was much easier

Higher difficulty, same rewards, used some revives and potions, not extremely difficult for my skill level but other players might have difficulty

Remember it used to be 0 nodes, 0 revives and 0 potions used for level 5 SQ, it was literally free rewards every week, now I have to put in some work by playing carefully against the mystic defenders

It's infuriating... I would suggest to turn the device upside down or put it away while you autofight.

I also tried EQ classic difficulty, it wasn't too difficult for my skill level, had to use some revives and potions, other players will definitely suffer but Kabam is tuning down the difficulty so there's hope

Elder difficulty will kill most valiants brutally

The rewards are not worth the effort tbh

JESUSCHRIST

Elder marks lost its value after the rewards were moved to VT, what do you mean using elder marks to get more elder marks and trophy tokens LOL essentially what you get is just trophy tokens

Den when energy became scarce, elder marks became slightly more valuable as you save some energy for questing

It's actually a matter of time before elder marks get removed and Kabam has said that they will add more energy refills to compensate for the removal of elder marks so still monitoring the situation

I'm someone that has the EQ on elder already, also the sq and the daily quests,

it is effin tedious either thru sheer length of the fights or burning thru my energy

Did SQ for second time today, used a few revives but still can’t complete. Too punishing one combo and thats it for a rank 3. Took level 4 for rest of my 2 runs which felt more like old times but efforts just ain’t worth much
