Infinity Dungeons Discussion Thread

Summoners! We're really excited to announce the introduction of a brand new mode to The Contest! Introducing, Infinity Dungeons!

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!

@Kabam Miike my prestige is 5,507 why do I not have the 7.5k milestone? Is the bracket higher? This should have been in the announcements.

An alliance member has a 5,505 prestige and has the 7.5k milestone. My prestige, total rating are higher than his, I’m a Howling Commando and they are not, I’ve beaten Act 5 and they haven’t. I’m at a lost as to why I wouldn’t have the milestone.

Do you have to play with the same partner each time or can you rotate among your alliance.

You don't have to play with the same partner each time you play Dungeons!

@Ad0ra_ the dungeon chat works about as well as regular alliance chat (hopelessly broken and unusable) and what's the point of posting yet another complaint on your suggestions section when we've been complaining about how broken chat is for months? 50/50 the message goes through, 50/50 if you can read your own messages without restarting MCOC multiple times, 50/50 the intended recipient of your message see's the message without restarting MCOC. All things related to chat in the game is and has been utterly broken and useless for months that anyone who actually played the game would know. There's a good reason why everyone is required to use a 3rd party chat client to play this game. So I wouldn't say that DUNGEON chat is broken. ALL chat related functions are broken and dungeon chat probably works as well as the rest of MCOC chat.

MrF

I loved the dungeons and my only issue with it was the in-game chat, I never received my mates messages and had to use another app for chatting

But the game thinks I’m not experienced player and can not handle the 7,500 milestone rewards 🤔

So let me get this straight......Joe Schmooo who has $500 can have a 5 star OG Vis. That makes him qualified to have a 5 star. However, my 5200 prestige acct is not capable of handling top tier 5 star rewards in the dungeons???? You have got to be kidding me!!! MONEY TALKS I GUESS.

He’s 100% correct. This is the image kabam is giving itself at the moment. I have a higher base hero rating then almost all my buddies that have access to buy the 5 star hero crystal... I have 2 if not 3x the amount of 4 stars and ranked 5/50 4 stars than them... I’ve even spent a good amount of money to buy FGMC i purchased about 60 of the Void gmc crystals oh and guess what... the 5 star I got was a She Hulk... why would I rank up a garbage tier 5 star? That’s a waste of resources. Kabam claims that they set this up in a way for early on players to not get champs too powerful and to keep the game balanced but the way I see it is that this only helps 2 types of players... ones that spend a insane amount in the game and can buy themselves prestige or ones that have just had really good luck with 5 star crystals.... this format kabam is using is actually making the game even more unbalanced. The top players scale even higher with these amazing new rewards only available to them while the majority of us hard working players stuck in middle tier fall even more behind because we are stuck receiving another dupe 4 star that isn’t going to help us progress

Why are the dungeons ending 12 hours from now when they only started 8 hours ago? Is it meant to be 24 hr or 20 hour duration ?

LeNoirFaineant

Love the dungeon so far. Really great job on this. Sounds like a lot of people that can't get the last milestone ought to be able to. Anyone that beat act 5 is at a level of progression to handle the champs lol. Not complaining for myself, I have all the milestones available, but reading through the thread it looks like there are valid complaints. Also the chat is hit or miss for me. Works perfectly or not at all.

charaderdude2

Well,Atleast give us prestige clueless people,someway to learn our prestige IN-GAME

LeNoirFaineant

@charaderdude2 don't know why but they won't do that. Prestige calculators are easy to use though. Or you can drop your masteries and get the average pi of your top 5 champs.

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

Logically you would remove that node so it isn't there.

Hi I am kinda worried I left my alliance because I could not deal with the extra pressure of having to come online when needed but now I learn that to get the specific dungeon resources like revives I need to be in an alliance.

Join a relaxed alliance.

Could I get an answer to this @Kabam Miike, those 4 hours make a whole lot of difference for me since it starts at 0:00 my time. I have to work so I cant possibly grind before leaving for work and by the time I am done I only have 2 hours before it resets. However if it is 24 hr that I would have 6 hours to hit the milestones

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.

So please explain me this: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/32788/drive-to-a-million-facebook-likes
New players with 1 and 2 stars champions was able to get a 5 star just grinding but me with rank 3 5 stars just because I am unlucky with those 5 stars crystals and just pull **** champions from that crystal can only redeem 4 stars crystal and I have to grind for almost 50 days
This is just bullshits, Kabam keep your **** together.

When do the Dungeon Milestones Reset?? Is it Every day??

Well done Kabam. I like the level of difficulty, I like the rewards, and even more importantly, you have brought usefulness to most of my unused roster. This is a big win in my book. Chat is a bit glitchy, but it's fine and for the most part, don't need to chat.

Nomarigerol

the tchat doesn't work, I can't speak to my teammate

Filippo1971

ok, we have 12 min to end a room, but what about from one room to another? Can I stop and continue 1h later or do I have to do it immediately, meaning that, If I'm able to do, for example, 5 rooms, I'm forced to play without interruption 1 hour?

I think you have 7 minutes to decide if you’ll continue or not.

Sigh. You know, I really try to be supportive because I understand you're in a tough position, but surely you must realise this makes no sense at all.

What exactly is the problem with "overloading newer players with champions and items they cannot use yet?" They would just sit in their stash and quietly expire. There's no burden to the player.

As for "being too powerful for their current progression", surely the whole point on an event like this is to allow players to get more powerful.

I mean think about it right, this is the equivalent of Kabam handing your MD 100,000 dollars, but giving you 5, not because you have fewer responsibilities, not because you work less hard or are less talented, but because he doesn't want to overburden you with all that money, or make you too rich for your current progression.

This is not fair. I'm uncollected for a long time, i have completed Nameless Guillotine, have 6* heroe, multiple R4 5*s, and not enough experienced for the last reward? I'm not allowed to get the highest possible reward with 500k rating? Are you serious? This is completely unacceptable.... This is the biggest **** what you ever done with this game....

Didn't you hear Mike? It's to prevent "brand new summoners" from getting stuff such as the 5* hero crystal, your out of luck since your "brand new" according to Kabam.

You know, we're not even asking for free stuff here. We're just asking for an opportunity, not a handout. How would you like to be told that you don't deserve a chance because kabam doesn't want to over burden you with responsibility, or take the risk that you will become too powerful for your progression?

Okay, I'm going to try to explain why I believe the majority of players find this stupid beyond belief. I don't think Kabam actually cares, because everything I've seen in the past couple of years suggests this company doesn't listen to well-meaning feedback and suggestions, resulting in multiple foul ups that everyone sees coming a mile off. But I'll give it a shot nonetheless.

This game is not just about collecting champions. We like to think it's also about skill. This is why you people nerfed the old gods in 12.0, isn't it? So you couldn't just dupe Scarlet Witch and go, hey ho, I've won the game. You made champs less powerful, and made players rely more on their skills.

Players like this feeling that skill matters. That's why the Uncollected gate is accepted by the community. To get better rewards a player must become Uncollected. That's cool, because a big part of becoming Uncollected is being skilled enough to reach the Collector. Even though the Collector fight itself is rubbish, players still need to be skilled enough in the game's meta to accumulate the needed units.

This prestige gate doesn't feel fair because you're removing skill from the equation. It's just an arbitrary number chosen for goodness knows what reason. And, it removes the opportunity for the not so good players to use skill to acquire rewards that could bump them up a notch.

Take someone like Seatin. He's so skilled in both fighting and meta that he took an account to Uncollected level in a couple of months. This is an achievement we all admire. Yet, that account would not be eligible for the final milestone. It wouldn't even be given the chance to compete.

People like to feel they have opportunities in life. They like to feel that by working hard and smart they can move up in the world. Nobody likes to have opportunities taken away because they're the wrong colour or gender or social class. Even if you never manage to take advantage of that opportunity, people still want to know that the opportunity exists and is there for them. This decision to eliminate the top milestone and take away the opportunity for players to move up feels unfair on a very deep level, even if not everyone can articulate why.

Hopefully you lot will listen. Probably not, though.

@Kabam Miike Can you try to also take summoner level into what dark artifact crystals we can buy because I am level 42 and can only see 3 stars because I only have one 4 star because premium crystals have such a low chance at getting 4 stars. I think most people would like to see higher crystals if they have been playing for a long time and not getting good becaise of terrible odds of getting good champions.

Hiapeindex

Kabam- you have made it much easier to walk away. Uncollected, 2 r4 5*, 10 t2a waiting to be used, full t4 catalysts overflowing because of bad crystal luck and you think I’m not worthy ofobtaining a better chance at better 5* for this the celebration event for marvel Studios biggest film release to date? Its a stiff middle finger to the three and a half years of serious playing and commitment to the game and my alliance. You are the worst ambassadors that marvel could ever hope for.

Get off your high horses and let this be a level playing ground instead of having so many points of control of players progression. Already issues with
t1a availability,
t2a abailability,
rng on every crystal,
gold shortage,
prestige rank up requirements forced by alliances to chase the mythical prestige beast you guys created,
Now you start controlling what summoners that have beaten most of your hardest content because one metric doesn’t look high enough to your amazingly trained eyes?

Na I’m done. You’re absolutely despicable.

SuperFarz

I see people are getting confused. From what I see there are 2 cutoffs. One cutoff from being able to see the 5* chrystal and another cutoff for the highest milestone in dungeon. It’s just unfortunate that no information is available on the requirements. Event however is fun and well made ( except chat). However whatever the cutoff is the people just below it will be mad and frustrated. As usual time is needed to grow your account so for the next time you will be hopefully qualified.

Have to agree with this. I know a lot of peeps have been grinding for years, but you need to allow people to catch up somehow. Throw them a bone.
