So Kabam has found another way of screwing us over.

The sun rising in the morning is just Kabam's way of trying to give us all skin cancer.

Rable rable rable rable......I've been playing since the game came out. it doesn't get much more experienced. Why am I not eligible for the highest milestone bracket? Are you considering adjusting this? because it's a bit rediculous

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

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

Other node was worser it had heal block.power drain.power lock and some other **** added to it

In the same boat and awaiting an answer to this. Have a strong feeling we’re going to be up a creek without a paddle though.

Milestones aside, the dungeons are just tedious. Not a big fan.

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.

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.

To be fair, having champs that are too powerful early on could definitely prevent someone from actually getting good at the game. I know I got much better after they took away my block team and nerfed SW lol. That's why so many people that start out by buying an account never get good at the game. But in this case, good, accomplished players are being arbitrarily cut off from rewards they ought to be able to get.

SCHNOOT

I can verify that the prestige cutoff is 5,500. Yesterday the last milestone available for me was 4,500 and today my last available milestone is 7,500. I added some sig stones to quake last night and just checked out my updated prestige... It went from 5495 to 5505.

LeNoirFaineant

@SCHNOOT good to know. This kind of demonstrates the absurdity of the system. Yesterday you weren't advanced enough to receive the best rewards but today you are thanks to a few sig stones lmao.

Completely agree with the prestige milestone issue. Having 3 4/55s and a 6* doesn't get me up above 5500 and that sucks. Just sitting here at 5328 twiddling my thumbs after hitting the 5k milestone with ease...

They are more tedious then the arena and with aq aw the daily trials and soon a new monthly to run it’s gonna be too much kabam needs to space these events out and not pile them all at once some of us aren’t you tubers who have all day to play

Iwantanapple

Why are the milestone rewards based on pi and not how many dungeons you complete?

Iwantanapple

A permanent type of this mode would be really cool
Maybe with not as great as rewards, I personally love the idea of being able to play with friend not from my alliance

MarzGroove

I agree that the prestige brackets for milestones should be removed.

Dungeon Feedback:
1. There needs to be a way to end a dungeon or leave the dungeon party without having to wait for the timer to expire. If you go to the dungeon screen through the friends list while in an active dungeon and click exit party on the top left corner of the screen the game simply crashes.

2. It's been 2 days and it already feels like a repetitive grind with minimal payoff. I'm not a fan of the milestones being something you have to hit every single day, perhaps you could make them weekly so that we can work on them when we actually feel like playing or can lineup a time to play with a friend. I can see this mode becoming just another thing you have to do every day and it's still very early, there must be a way to change up the structure so it doesn't feel so grindy.

3. The milestones being based on prestige was a really bad idea because as you yourself said it doesn't work well when used as a measuring stick for player progression. You can have a multi-year veteran with lower prestige than a player with under a year playtime simply based on champion rank up choices and champion pull RNG. There are many better ways to determine the progression of an account such as level, highest ranked champion, furthest quest completed, being uncollected, event quest completion, etc. so they should be used instead of prestige.

4. This seems like the perfect mode to address the gold shortage problem since it would give players a reason to play dungeons after hitting the milestones and it's already set up with increasing difficulty which could be matched with increasing gold rewards based on how far you can get.

5. Chat is a mess as you are well aware, extremely important for the mode to work but once it's fixed it shouldn't be an issue.

Absolute trash that milestone rewards are capped off by Prestige. I'm a 370k player with 4900 prestige leading a 11mil alliance and I'm capped off at 5000 milestone instead of the 7500.
This is especially unbalanced since prestige is built off of being able to rank up high-prestige champs (which are randomly assigned numbers that in no way reflect how good a champ is.) So if you don't manage to pull the right champs, then you get shafted in rewards.

Dr_Physico

There's a problem with the team selection, it interferes with all other game modes like arena, aq, aw, story, monthly quest.

I just was in a monthly quest with 5 champs, took a break there to do a dungeon, then kept moving in the quest. At the end, I clicked "repeat" and guess what, now I'm in the quest not with the 5 champs I just finished, but with the 3 champs I was in dungeon.
Also saw the preselection in the other modes.

The_Grandmaster

It was so stupid to launch this event without having the chat working! it makes it magnitudes harder and less fun, Get to work on fixing the CHAT WTF!!!!

phillgreen

I've read the announcement a few times and had my brain blasted by all the forum posts so forgive this stupid post.

Let me know if I've got it right.

I grab an alliance member of approximate roster, we choose 3 champs each and move through the dungeon. After beating a room we can either quit (and take whatever rewards) or continue on (with same teams) until we are unable to finish.

We collect rewards for every completed room. We have a cooldown time on the teams used to this point.

Can we then re-enter immediately with different teams, starting from the beginning and collect the same rewards up until we cannot finish?

Can we just keep going, using as much of the roster as we can? Are the rewards capped at some point where there is no point re-entering?

Thanks in advance for the bunch of lols I expect this post to attract

TheLegend27

I got stuck on the decision page after I hit "next room." Like a dummy, I sat there for a few minutes and typing in chat that I couldn't get off the page. Apparently my partner killed himself trying to clear the path of the next room. Leaving the dungeon mode, going to home page, and then going back into dungeons fixed it and I was able to join in.

I think exact steps were that I hit next room, went to check on my partner's health and then I got stuck there.

WorldWarWilliam

When is matchmaking going live for this?

Paddie

Have had some issues activating specials in dungeons - no nodes to prevent this. Anyone else?

RagamugginGunner

Well these are really telling me who in my alliance are just terrible at this game. Losing rewards because your partner is an idiot is just awful.
