Infinity Dungeons Discussion Thread

Summoners! We're really excited to announce the introduction of a brand new mode to The Contest! Introducing, Infinity Dungeons! Infinity Dungeons will be available for a limited time only, but are unlike anything you've seen in The Contest before. Read all about them here: http://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/63523/introducing-infinity-dungeons/

There's a lot of information to absorb, and you're likely going to have questions. This is the place to ask them!

If you've got a few minutes, we also suggest watching this video that explains a little bit more:

@Kabam Miike Are you willing to be transparent about what it takes to earn different rewards?

I'm not a believer in ranking champs for Prestige only... but I'll do it if I know 100% that it'll help me boost my rewards through dungeons.

Cheers.

@Kabam Miike @Ad0ra_ or anyone else to shed some light on this? So earlier in this thread it was stated if you hit max milestones for every day of this event, you’d get enough Dark Artifacts to get the 5* Crystals three times. Each is 27,000 artifacts so that’s a grand total of 81,000. I did the math and by hitting all milestones, I would receive 1,950 Artifacts per day. As this ends on June 4th, making this a 40-day event, 1,950 x 40 = 78,000 which would mean at best we could only get it twice. Are any of my numbers or overall math wrong? If not, it does seem a bit of a letdown that we would be able to get that close without hitting the third crystal, as it’s my understanding we won’t be able to get the Dark Artifacts anywhere but the milestones. Please help!!

Your numbers are not wrong, but one of ours is. The event will end on June 6th, not June 4th! So that means there are 42 days, and not 40. I will adjust the announcement post and @Kabam DK is fixing the in game message. Thank you for pointing this out to us!

Whew glad to hear! Thanks for getting back so quickly

Are there different milestone "settings" and what do they depend on?
Some colleagues have the fifth (last) milestone at 7500 points, while in my account the fifth is at 5000 points (and less dust, artifacts & gold).

There are brackets to the Milestones. More experienced players will see higher Milestone thresholds than players that do not have as strong Rosters.

I know this isn't what you'd like to hear, but this is done to ensure that we maintain an appropriate level of progress for players, and not to overload newer players with Champions and Items that they cannot use yet, or are too powerful for their current progression.

@Kabam Miike
This is unacceptable without further explanation. I have just shy of 400k rating, uncollected, LOL,ROTL, all the recent celebrity events, 3 year act, etc and I max out at 5k milestones? Absolutely ridiculous. Not only does this need to re-evaluated we need to know what the brackets are and we need to know it last week. If the next bracket starts at 400k I would tried to get there before the event started. Its already nearly impossible to get enough for the 5* awakening gem but now you hamstring us with restrictions we have little control over.

So first off, I like the dungeons.. a lot!
But what I don't like right off the bat, is the clunky, laggy, in game chat.
There's very little time to discuss your strategy and pick paths in the time allowed.. especially at higher levels where the fights last longer. So, the clunky chat makes it even more of a conundrum.

I think it would be awesome if you allowed players to 'mark' or highlight which links they would like their teammate to take out rather than trying to mess with the chat, or having to switch to outside chat program to discuss.
It would be awesome if I could tap the link and choose to highlight or mark, and have it visually glow red.. or green.. or whatever works.

Simple, quick, and efficient.
Thoughts?

I was hoping that’s what the flag button was for. Nope.

Sorry guys, I know that you'd love to know this information, but this is one of those things that we can't announce. There is no way in game to view this information, and it's not something that we regularly share.

The Prestige system is not perfect in areas like this, and it's something we're working to move away from in the near future.

Kniv7es

You can't announce?!?....are you aware of what you are saying?!?.....so if someone wants to move to higher brackets that is not possible!....Great Transparency!....Great Job!..

I am 5300+ prestige, and I only get 5k milestones for the dungeons. I did the math and the max I can get is 1.8mill throughout the month. This means to get a 5* AG I have to not only do all dungeons, all eq’s, and all trials( I’m ok with that), but then to get the remaining 1.1 mill, I have to get all milestones and place in the top placement everytime for the vanquishing blows events??? That’s a rip Kabam. I have plenty of 5*’s and could boost my prestige a lot higher if I wanted, but I’m waiting until I dupe better 5* before taking them to r4. You finally give us an opportunity to awaken 5*’s for hard effort, and then come to find out it’s not true, and we’ve been lied to?

@Kabam Miike

P.S. I love the dungeons and think for a first run you guys did a great job! But finding out I’ve been handicapped kinda just ruined the mood a bit.

IanMoone89

This is complete absurd and cant believe you would stoop so low just to milk us, have you no shame at all.

Especially if Hyperion is on it, wiped out my entire team without me even getting a change to deal damage

JRock808

Face, meet palm.

moreap1

Then why design something so important around information that can't be viewed or "shared". That's ridiculous. No point in even wasting time with the dungeons if the largest reward is a 4 star that does nothing to help me.

Notsileous

Kabam logic: Here are rewards to make you better but sorry you cant have them until you get better.

But you will let those same players spend money on deals that include 5 star shards

@Kabam Miike if I bump my prestige up during the length of the dungeons, is it possible to unlock the 7,500 milestone? Or is it set based on when this event started?

Coachidite

...They're good. Really good.

I really would like to see Kabam keep this type of small-scale multiplayer around permanently - this first night of grinding the Dungeons with my friends and alliance mates has been more fun than just about anything I can remember recently in this game. And I know a lot of people agree here: the global chat is nonstop "Dungeon, anyone?"

Granted, I would like to see a few changes to the mode if it ends up being permanent (which, in case I wasn't clear, I really hope it does). For one, personally I think the champion recharge times are a bit high right now. I get why; it wouldn't be fun to just use your top three champs over and over every day. But, I would definitely like to be able to go through my roster twice a day or so. I'd even be happy with a "request help" button like we see in Arena that knocks the timer down to something more reasonable after five or so alliance mates help you out. I don't want to see the recharge unit price lowered, though. I was actually really happy when I saw how expensive that was - if it were cheap, it would defeat the idea of having to really be clever about going through your roster of champs.

Why not kill two birds with one stone, Kabam?? You have this great gamemode now, so for the love of everything, use it to solve the gold problem. After the Infinity War event is over why not just take away the dark artifacts and infinity dust and replace it with lots and lots of freaking gold! To me, this solution is too obvious to not be implemented. It just makes sense. We have AQ for items to rank up our champs (catalysts), AW for shards to get new champs, story/event quests for misc rewards and ISO-8, and arena to grind for units and specific champions. And while arena is the primary source to get gold in the game right now, a lot of people have issue with the fact that it requires too much grinding just to rank up one good champ anymore.

Why not just have Infinity Dungeons reward players with more and more gold the further they go? Kabam already said that the reason they were reluctant to just include something like Halls of Fortune was to prevent a total overload of gold into mcoc, but I think a system where players are rewarded for taking down tough champions with the one thing that almost everyone lacks would be a nearly perfect move.

That's all I really have to say. Thank you for the Dungeons - they are amazing.

Deadbyrd9

I love them too. Kind of a time consumer but worth it

WARICK99

These are great! I’d like it if the dungeon chat always worked...

Jus77

@Kabam Miike so I get penalized because I choose not to rank my Spidergwen to r4 or any of the other ridiculous 5* I've received from crystals? I still have 3 r4 5*s and a 6*. I could have more, but my crystal luck is **** and I'm not going to burn t2as on any old champ. Still only limited to 5K? Ridiculous.

Yarah_Dahile

Is dungeon matchmaking not working?

Felipevbc

How come my friend’s Infinity dungeon milestones go up to 5,000, while mine only go up to 3,000?

Captain_Kandice

I just don’t understand your logic Kabam on the prestige cutoff for the 5* crystal. I have a prestige of 4155. I know that’s not crazy high, but it’s also no rookie account. This is absolutely ridiculous.

This is unbelievable to me. I spend money on this game and have had awful luck. My prestige isn’t higher not because I don’t play the game or not because I’m not opening 5*. I’m uncollected, played this game over a year. And because I have had awful 5* pulls and chose not to just rank up **** I don’t get the full rewards. This is why this game will fail. You’re just helping the whale Miller’s instead of the masses. If you wanted to have different milestone caps do it based on in game level. There is so much that you guys can do to better this game. But it seems you just create more ****. The dungeons are awesome and just when I said wow this is cool you limit me because I don’t have 5* worth rank 4. Thanks. You guys are the best

I'm still waiting for a clear answer on how will you determine who gets to see what crystals. Will it be by overall pi or prestige or what? I'm curious to see how it works.

It is based on your Prestige. We don't want brand new summoners getting carried to 5-Star Champions way before they're ready for that level of progression!

@Kabam Miike totally agree in a way with what you said . Now my question : me as a player with the prestige around 5250 , act 5 100% RTTL done , ROL done , every single uncollected event done 100% , only the really first one with ice Phoenix I had chapter 1 and 2 100% and one line for each map on chapter 3 , why my last milestone is 5k and not 7.5k ,
My tier 2 alpha are waiting in the stash because I will not get to r4 venom , superior iron man and other champions that I do not feel are helping me with the upcoming content . I don’t hink that I should get less then anyone else that was a little bit more lucky , to get blade Hyperion and go to get all of them to r4

Thank you in advance for your answer

DaMunk

It's a great idea but I can see myself getting burned out quickly from it. If it's around permanently hopefully it's not tied to something that we feel we have to do, maybe a way to get gold or something.

SomeoneElse

This is just more ludicrous nodes. It’s basically a mini-AQ. What the point? It’s buggy too. My controls are messed up, as they always are after they release something new. Making prestige based is building on a terrible game mechanic.

There are also too many events going on at once. Kabam isn’t listening. People with jobs and school don’t have time for all of this.

I have 17 5* 3 at 3/45. How am I not at that level of progression?

Spurgeon14

Not a fan so far of Dungeons. Too time consuming waiting for others to join you and then takes awhile going through the fights and you can't play at your own pace.
