How do you make this much harder and keep the rewards the same? I thought they were being nice with halls of healing lol
Do you like to work twice as hard for the same pay? If so then you should reconsider your way of life. I don't remember Symbiods bleedin me through the block or shrugging off every debuff or having unblockable specials and other ****. Your argument is gonna be "bring bleed immune champ, learn to intercept and evade". Okay, I can do those already but are rewards worth me putting more focus into AQ than I usually do? The answer is no. And that's why Sentinels without increased rewards are just ****.
I dont disagree with you about changing the map up. Just changing minis and "drones" wont make it that much more interesting. It would better if there were random map rotations that involved different layouts and "drones" and named champs. Once you learn the paths it becomes a chore instead of looking forward to it.
You're implying that the addition of Sentinels isn't the straw that "broke the camel's back", but it will be for many.
Those who quit aren't quitting cause it's Thursday, they're quitting because this AQ change is just another move in a series of carefully executed moves to make it harder on players while offering nothing back.
This move is just another loss on our end and people see where this keeps going so they get fed up and quit.
they arent that difficult imo so i dont see it as doing twice the work.
Oh wait... you did all that without any items?!
STOP WHINGING ABOUT A 6-7k PI SENTINEL IN AQ THEN IF YOU BEAT THOSE! JeeeeeeZzzzzzzzzzz it’s mindblowing this is even a topic!
So much truth in this
Actually, my post says exactly that. If the Sentinels are the straw that brreaks the camels back for a player, that player is only one straw away from quitting. That straw could be anything, and any attempt to keep such a player has a high probability of failing. That is literally the point of the post you replied to.
1st, your Alliance must have bad Prestige if your Sentinels are only 7K.
Also I believe people are more upset about Kabam insisting that these changes don't make the game any harder and giving no extra rewards when it clearly does make things harder. Personally, what gets me is that they added the Sentinels in the middle of this season of AQ when they are sure to start a new season shortly and should have just waited till than and could have cut out a lot of criticism but they want more money NOW. This move comes across as just being greedy to me by doing something they have never done before just cuz they want to try to increase there profits immediately instead of waiting for the next season of AQ to start. Some people will leave, most will adapt and some will struggle for awhile before adapting but things will go on. What would have been great is if Kabam would have worked on fixing all these bugs that they have left in the game for months and months before making yet another out of the blue change that is strictly meant to benefit them.
This isnt an attempt to "refresh" AQ, clearly this is a ploy to make it harder while offering nothing in return. HORRIBLE
Good job, let's see until Day 5 and celebrate again.
With over 120 champs in the game, it is very easy to randomize the opponents and assigning a couple of buffs instead of creating new opponents and literally covering half the map with them. Should just call it Sentinel Quest.
All of that being said, the strategies to beat them are different. For the longest time, we could just blindly start a fight against a symbiod, mash our MLLLM combos, bleed/poison the **** out of them, and maybe evade a couple of easy specials then move on to the next fight.
Now, players actually have to pay attention to what they are doing. Sentinels penalize you for button mashing your MLLLL combos. Special attacks are different and need a little practice to beat.
Like others have said, time to adapt and move on.
Why throw us a bone? Its their game. They can make any change they want regardless of what your opinion is. Either adapt and keep playing or quit. I dont see the problem and none of the arguments aginst the sentinels have held up. You will learn how to counter them just like any other content in the game.
