Do a lot of players enjoy complicated SQ/Monthly Events?

Comments

I'm one of those who explains events to my group when I figure out these by watching richtheman and reading forum threads.

This time, I'm not going to bother explaining this to my alliance or even ask players for participation. Weekly contribution required is way too high.

If I'm gonna miss rewards this time, so be it. Too much commitment on a weekly basis.

We'll get what we'll get. Idc

nope

CandyCane2

it’s literally more complicated than math

agreed

Am I crazy or a few streams ago, did someone say they were gonna work towards simpler SQ/Event design?

"We've heard you and we are listening…"

"Next up.. Bounty Missions are returning to the contest next month!"

They probably did, but as anyone knows, when kabam says that, they mean it won't actually happen for 3-4 months later.

Just went into news where nobody ever goes, and there is the full description of the event now. Took 5 screenshots to show everyone, and even brought out the flowchart! Flowcharts way of the future bubs!

Basically just do your daily, get the 2 points (appettie contest event) . Then whatever side wins we all get those top milestones rewards, as long as your have a point in the event. Its one of those illusion of choice/rewards things, its only profile pics. Something about a future buff, but we have no context anyways, so what does that matter.

The promise of simplified SQs has to be like easily 7-8 months ago, if not longer. It happened for a couple months then just reverted back to marketplace confusion.

”something about a future buff…” yeah, sure Kabam.

remember all those weird milestones in the last realm event? Choosing BG metas or choosing incursions or something like that? Yeah, Kabam probably doesn’t remember either.

These days you need a PhD to understand the content requirements to play and get the miserable rewards

I do you a favour, just get whatever rewards you can get and don't be bothered with the rest, it won't make a difference to your account

This has been my issue with the sq's for a while now. You gotta do a thing to get another thing then you use that thing to get another thing in order to do the fight u actually wanna do. Its just overly complex and tedious.

Kabam making you jump through hoops of fire for miserable rewards

FAIL

I’ve enjoyed the game for 8 years, I’ve hated it for about 6 weeks now, don’t know what Kabam was thinking

Zuko_ILC

Not at all. It makes no sense why they make it so complicated and confusing. Keep it simple if you want people to enjoy the content.

Thats the bonus unclear event.

I think this thread is about bounty missions.

Nomercy9

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!

I'd prefer it if they focused on making interesting node combinations and interactions rather than complex events where it takes you many days to understand what's going on.

OfficialDarus94

no nope never

It's all very spooky

They are given this feedback every time they do this to SQ (which is a lot) and we get these promises of “simplifying” for SQ going forward. And then we get the same garbage again.

In the words of Green Day: “wake me up when September ends”

PuppetMaster_18

Whats complicated ab it? You play different game modes and get points in daliy bounty. Reaching milestones you get "key" to daily sq and when doing daily sq 3times you unlock elite bounty. Its not hard…

Mic-El

We’ve got Bounty Missions as the side quest this month, and honestly, people are acting like you need a PhD to figure it out. It’s really not that complicated. It’s not even the first time we’ve had Bounty Missions… if I remember right, we had a similar event back in April. I get that it’s more involved than a simple “jump in and play” event, but calling it too complicated is ridiculous. If figuring out Bounty Missions feels too much, maybe Candy Crush would be more your speed.

You’re right. We’ve done bounty missions plenty of times that people should know how they work. 😂 (the zombie event on the other hand was made overly complicated and seemed like decisions about which side we chose were important when really it doesn’t even matter, which makes it confusing.)

Though I guess almost everyone (myself included) just hates the bounty mission SQ format. It’s a tedious slog to mid rewards. It’s just not an interesting or fun format, and the more I have to do these dull events it drains my motivation to do other things in the game.

DrZola

My issues with the events are two-fold:

Alliance participation shouldn’t be the bar for actual SQ entry —but it’s fine if you want to add rewards for alliances that do more in an SQ.
While I don’t think the designs of the bounty SQ and the “infected” and “cured” events are unnecessarily complicated, communications is once again the stumbling block for the team. Just put out a super simple “what do I need to do” explainer in channels everyone accesses (multiple random MCoC channels being an issue for another day).

They’ve done so much to damage this game in such a short period of time that I’m not sure they could make it fun again, even if they tried.. The frustration never ends, which defeats the whole purpose of this game.

first time we have had bounty missions where we have to been in a fully active alliance to gain entry…

“it’s not complicated… just go play AQ and AW which most alliances bypass. Or go win(!) at BGs. Or go grind incursions if you can find it… (lol)….. Once you guys do that, we will give you the privilege of doing some unpopular bounty missions. You’re welcome”

arguably the most complex side quest ever given you and your alliance mates have to go play modes that you were never required to play before. And forget the people outside the alliance. Easy for super active alliances dancing at the top of the food chain - for everyone else?

It’s hot garbage. Period.

BowTieJohn

They could have done it better by providing both an individual can earn points to get bounty missions and alliance based earning of bounties. This way you could earn either way and it would encourage an alliance as that would help earn them faster while at the same time not discourage those who are not in alliances.

Hoping Kabam reads this and takes this into consideration at least for future style events.

And what happens if i choose the same bounty 2 times?? There is no indicator if i have it already… it's just stupid design, and they don't care if we like it or not…

They said so many times they will simplify sidequests but that's just for show…

Joker1976

I think the effort is disappointing,..same old recycled stuff.

I tend to think most people dislike entry requirements for a side quest.

You know,.,maybe just pick it up and play?,..like many mobile games.

I think if they put effort into more fun monthly side quests on theme for the season it would be more appreciated.

It’s October (Halloween),,,lot’s of cool ideas and designs you can do with that.

But bounty missions ??…again,..how boring.

Tempest_024

Nope. Being in a not active alliance, I'm glad I don't have to worry about the bounty missions side quest. I didn't like it last time.

Bosley

My favourite team was 5 star Blade, Stark Spidey, and Ghost Rider when the game was simpler and live was good.

I play the bare minimum by myself now and have no interest in this complicated nonsense that keeps getting dropped.

Crow9074

It's not complicated. (Maybe for a newer player, I guess) It's just the same tedious bounty missions we've had before... but with the added bs of an Alliance Super Season thing.

So, not only is it tedious but you have the added constraint of requiring an alliance to do it. Which slows down if not makes it impossible to do for some players.

I don't mind certain things being tied to Alliance participation. Side quests and unit purchase events with missable things such as the rebirth tokens are terrible though.
