APPRECIATION POST FOR KABAM FOR THE NEW MONTHLY ELDER EVENT QUEST

KingLeonidas1990

I just want to express my gratitude to Kabam, for allowing a progressing player like me to successfully access and play the Elder difficulty of the monthly EQ.

Although I am Valiant, with a reasonable number of 7-stars, I was not able to play the Elder difficulty of EQ for such a long time because it requires you to have a ton of higher-ranked 7-stars. Thus only end-game players, and whales could literally access Elder EQ. It was indeed unfortunate.

But now, I was able to complete it. I had so much fun. This will certainly help my account grow even more, and I am more than happy to play Elder EQ each month.

Again, to all Kabam developers and staff behind this huge leap, thank you!

That's the point..... We had monthly "challenge", that was the crucible style EQ, and that's what Popcorn keeps saying: there was a challenge mode, with increased rewards, and there was an easier mode (the classic mode, which you could explore), for less rewards. If you want easier time, just play the classic difficulty. If you say the crucible style is hard, and you don't want to / can't do it, then the reward for it is not for you.

But instead Kabam was pressured to lower the difficulty (which weren't even that high) so everyone can get the higher reward.

I was fine with the crucible style EQ, didn't find it hard at all as I have a decent sized roster for all 15 fights. I am fine with the current one as well. My main gripe with both of them is the 15 fights for each path, too dang tedious and feels like a damn chore. 10-12 fights would've been the sweet spot!

Who said about not wanting to spend our resources, with the release of solo collosium and the new event quest like squad builder energy is going to become even more important so saving every bit of it counts

This is a 💩 suggestion. I invest a lot of resources into a champ to be able to use them in content. I'm not going to use lower rank champs just to challenge himself.

I don't care either way, I'm going to still do EQ for whatever rewards there are because what else am I going to do?

People have been complaining since release, they didn't know Colosseum or Squad Builder was comming. So unless you can tell me the next Powerball numbers I am going to ask you to stop making up excuses as you go.

I am entitled for wanting to have a choice instead of being forced one? That's a new one...

Who was creating a spreadsheet for this? It’s not that deep.

I absolutely despised doing the crucible style EQ and not because I can't, but because it was a slog.

This current EQ is easy AF though, not gonna pretend it isn't.

I don't care though. It gives other players a chance at decent rewards.

What I want is some actual challenging content as a late endgame player who has everything important done.

Real end game content, everest style content. Coliseum is cool, but the alliance coliseum is way too much of a grind over 3 days (I would say make it 5 days, personally) and solo coliseum, well thats a 2 week deal and guess what? It doesn't take 2 weeks to get 80 bars so again I get left with nothing to do besides bg's.

EQ was already boring with lowkey mid rewards

GroundedWisdom

EQ isn't supposed to be a headbanging slog. It's also greatly exaggerated how it's so easy it's boring in this format. If people are that tired of the game, then making it harder for everyone else isn't the solution. No matter what they put out, they'll grow tired of it.

Elder is harder than Classic. That's the whole point. The increase in Rewards reflect that. It also gets harder as your Prestige goes up. That's another layer. Doing the gauntlet-style like last month is needless overkill, and the extra Rewards don't even reflect the added frustration. It's only a matter of time before people burn out doing that, and telling them to stick to Classic doesn't solve the issue.

Exploring classic means you don't get about half the rewards. They are locked to Elder completion.

No is not, which is probably the reason why people feel so insulted when they are told to do so. Exploring classic gets you to milestone 10.

Just like everything else in game.... Harder difficulty →better rewards. If you can't do it, you don't deserve the reward

LOL. Hey @BringPopcorn, and all other old players with crab mentality, maybe it's time to hang up your hats and retire from the game. Instead of whining, and being envious, maybe it's time to leave your parents' house and live real lives as men.

Stop pretending that you are better. No, you're not. This game is not even that competitive. You @BringPopcorn and your friends are nobody in the grand scheme of digital gaming.

This game is so basic. This is completely different from, let's say, Mobile Legends, or to PC games like DOTA 2 or Counter-Strike, which are highly-competitive and mentally-torturing. I know that because I play those games.

I play MCOC because I wanted to relax and enjoy. That's it. No stress, just fun and light moments. I believe that this is the reason why I stayed in the game, and play it in the foreseeable future. I even spent money during banquet, and during other special events, because I am having fun.

My advice to you @BringPopcorn, live like a man. Stop hurting yourself, and be happy for other players. If you can't bear this sight, better leave the game and do something to tighten those muscles. Hoping the best for you little fella @BringPopcorn.

To be straight (🥁) (idk why🤦)…

To be frank. Once becoming Valiant, the mission and goal is over. The Summoner community constant gives concerning advice to new players; "that becoming Valiant is the only thing that matters" is still wild to me. The reason being, we have folks who have set up new account challenging of becoming Valiant in less then a week without spending which to me is like discouraging to become Valiant like, if anyone can do that in under a month, it makes the title less meaningful.

I'm not saying "you should stop," I'm requesting to handle the post aftermath better for new player perspective. Once you making that account the objective is complete (becoming Valiant on short time✅). Do u still use the account that you became Valiant, delete it or making it into ghost account? If you don't delete and make another challenge account, the ghost account is still there.

When I do see those Summoners smile and give insight to how they manage. My question will always come to "what about roaster?" Isn't building champions while having fun in quests more important then getting a title and being blocked by how much missing resources and materials are below lets not forget the incident with the signature stones where those were cut-off without warning because memebers of the game team or crashnomics.

Can you really say every resource and materials is now available on in-game store with in-game currency from Contender to Paragon at a Valiant progression? Including 2-star to 4-star signature stones not for the Legends by for new players who you have encouraged to reach Valiant in under quarter(1/4 = 4/12) of the the year.

And before you say, "you don't need them." remember Arena and the encourage of units plus awaken or unawken. (swallow that for a second).

I'm big believe that everyone is welcomed in this Battlerealm whether your endgame, everest or casual Summoners just here for the cheap Thrills (yes I was listening to Sia lets stay focus🙂). But the Battlerealm used to be big for everyone.

Everest Summoners got there favourite "I'm going to die at least 1,000" but didn't cause they know their content unless it's the God of War.. 🤷

Endgame Summoners got Back issues (Valiant difficult) & Act 8+ and some special quests.

Causal Summoners we had Event quest where 3-stars to 5-stars still have relevant in the Battlerealm.

Change is hard, we sometimes accept it and other times we reject it. I'm one those causal players that enjoyment new EQ when it first launch, it made me laught to see the healthpools and damage my opponents had. But as months kept going on, I missed using the champions I build so much passion for them to be forced into retirement cause of lack of quests.

Final (I'm hoping this is my final before I get blast by the opinions). Battlerealm is a big place but the second degree monthly EQ slaughter proved that we are being put in box when we are different be level, progession and most of commitment. We are community unity when playing but divide when it comes to content. Do remember when monthly Event Quest had tabs? Cause I do, it was nice. But at last those are the Golden days. Right now we living uncertainty we don't know what's next for Battlerealm when questing is involved.

Summoners, I hope your having a good week, may the Stella-force be with you🌠🌃🌆🕺.

Its difficulty, its too short for it to be monthly quest. Its like laying off a large portion task from your daily routine in month and seeing not visiting the game anymore.

My daily routine in the Battlerealm is Daily Quest, Alliance War (if I'm lucky) and Alliance Quest (if I remember its my battlegroup day).

I am not taking advice from a dumb kid who pretends to be a grown up after he is being spoon fed everything. There is a lot more maturity on accepting difficulties and overcoming them.

Congratulations you pseudo mature great advice giving fella, you can finally do some stuff and get your jollies. They had to nerf a quest to the ground so you can feel good about yourself. That is right, this game is not as competitve as others, still you have to appreciate making it easier for you...

I feel sorry for you little fella @BringPopcorn. You must have quite an unfortunate life. I hope all Everest and so-called hard contents in MCOC make you feel better, because maybe this is the only game that you know. I feel bad. I believe you need help. If only I am there to comfort you.

You are bad at a game that in your words is not that competitive or complex, don't expect me to think you are any better at games that are complex or competitive.

Yes this is the only game I talk about in here, since its the official forum for this game.

You feel sorry for me, you wonder about my life, you want to comfort me. Meanwhile you could get run over by a train and all you would get from me would be a "Oh damn"…
