Yeah people like Rayven and Popcorn never seem to understand that…

I haven't done it yet... I'll do after getting elder. Small prestige juice squeezing.

Pretty sure these off node fights will belong in 'you little twa, crew u'.... and I'll move on.

EQ has been so damn vanilla after community's constant complaining. Sure it's a little annoying but when doesn't eq hadn't been annoying... But the thing is eq gets done so quickly these days that there are better things to get worked up on. It's annoying but idc anymore.

For some reason, nobody pointing out that the nodes are considerably different. There’s a global node to juice up saga champs, so you’re not locked into a single class if you want to get benefits. Bring 2 or 3 class champs and then a couple strong saga champs for the fights where the class nodes don’t help (or hurt) you. Not that big a deal.

Rofl they are 1 or 2 simple defenders that don't fit 100% with a node, EQ has already been nerfed to the ground, just a little elbow grease and imagination can get you thru it fine; but nah complaining is better I guess.

I guess its a good thing its no longer a gaunlet type, cause people would have complained about spending energy resetting the quest.

I just found this out; but then again I am pretty sure a lot of people go in blind and do just fine. Reason why I lost 4 champs to Fish Bowl... Didn't read the stupid poison 🤣

You are still not getting it... If this was an oversight on Kabam's end then it sets a bad precedent but if it was intended then it's ok I guess... as long as it doesn't get annoying I did the quest no issues, I only struggled a bit with Omega sentinel since kept forgetting to alternate my combo.

It was intended, its not the first time they put one odd defender as a "trap", there has been a Red Guardian on an unblockable node, champs that didn't allow your attacker to evade when evade gave a buff. It wasn't done on every EQ, but its not the first time they did this.

The fact that people think this is coincidence don't even consider that they pick and choose the defenders for classic AND elder. Its not random.

PS: Omega Sent was pretty damn easy with a 6* Red Mags...🤷

Me when I don't understand there is literally no issue but a bunch of crybabies.

I feel that people are missing the point. No one is complaining about the difficulty of these fights. At least, most people aren't complaining about that. People are annoyed at the lazy choice of defenders in a quest that uses paths to incentivize the use of Class-specific champs.

When Defenders are placed that completely render those nodes useless, it's a little frustrating and begs the question as to the point of the nodes if they ultimately have no effect whatsoever on the fight. It's like designing a fight to grant bonus attack rating while the Defender is suffering from Bleed but placing Gentle as the Defender. The node would likely be removed because it serves no purpose. Colossus and Hulking are the worst offenders for me out of the group initially mentioned by the OP. Not because the fights are more difficult or a little slower but because the design makes no sense. It makes you think the game team doesn't check over content before releasing, something I don't believe is true.

Ultimately, you're right; it's a small issue. In both normal and Elder difficulty, you can just bring a champion that can take those champs. I don't mind a little extra difficulty. But amidst all the other problems currently and a general dislike of the state of the game by the community, small issues like nonsensical node and defender placements in EQ are a bit more magnified. And I can get where OP and the others are coming from with this one even if it is minor.
