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!

I really dont think this event is fun. It is very time consuming.I wont do it

@Kabam DK @Kabam Miike when both players champs are dead there seems to be no way to end the quest early. We've had to wait for the dungeon to timeout which is a really annoying lol.

Not sure if we've missed it but quite a few people who I've spoken to also can't find an option to exit quest.

bug reporting :
1- you can't see your partner's team's health while he/she is fighting.
2- you will get stuck in the lobby -the one between rooms- if you hit [next room] then the icon that show you your current team health(and your partner). What will happen is your partner will go to next room and you will wait in the lobby for infinite time, unless you restart the game or went back to game's home screen then go back in. @TheLegend27 got that problem as well apparently (same as I did)
3- chat not working
4- there are no quit button if you failed, you have to wait for the time to run out

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.

This is pretty much exactly the feedback I was going to give. Perfect post.

Milestones need to be extended to at minimum 3 days. 24 hours is too short for this type of game mode. It just becomes grindy.

Prestige is a bad way to limit progress in this mode. If someone with a lower roster wants to grind their heads off to get better rewards then let them. They deserve it. This is coming from a 7k+ prestige player. Time and effort should be rewarded.

All the other points were spot on. Also, I'm surprised no one else has brought up the gold in the milestones. This is a welcome addition and actually helps out a lot.

DaveDaDude

Anybody know how long you can be in the waiting screen before starting the next room? It could be very possible that 1 of the 2 people need to step away for 15-30 min, 1 hour or longer before starting the next room. It would be horrible to stop progress and cash out early. Not everyone can clear 1-2 hours straight to play.

now seriously:
forgive the ignorance but i've never cared for prestige. how do i know my prestige? i heard it's a combination of the total PI of my 5 champs with the highest PI , is this correct?
and from what i understand, it's a combination of base PI, but the PI we see includes bonus points from masteries and who knows what else, and there's no way to see base PI of a champion. is there no way to check without using external apps or resetting all my masteries?

@ArmandStar it's the average PI of your top 5 champs without masteries. You can drop your masteries and your prestige or you can use a prestige calculator.

Already used champs should move to the bottom, just as they do in arena. Right now it’s cluthered and takes a lot of time to see which champs I can use. Since I can’t sort them on availability, I can’t check which set of champs is the first to come back either (not unless I click them all).

For some reason, my quest team gets changed into the dungeon team when I hit “replay” at the end of the quest. Visually it looks like my normal team at first, until I move, then it shows I’m using 3 champs only, the once I used in my last dungeon. Very annoying, as it takes my energy away like this. (And we all know we need as much energy as we can get.)

Gwendoline

It also needs a “leave” option. Right now we need to wait for the timer to run out when we die.

When should the new lv6 dungeon points take affect

ninexhelix

Thanks for addressing the prestige issue Kabam, now how about that chat?

mum_m2

I give credit when it's due and the update is spot on. Thank you kabam for the changes

According to the message, it should kick in with the dungeon that starts tomorrow

roastedbagel

There's a ton of good points in here - and I too think the prestige cutoff at 5500 is ridiculous. 525k, playing since day 1, led alliances, finished in Plat 3, top 300 AQ, completed all end game content (minus 100% LoL) and up till last month had 3 God tier5* R4s.

Thank God I got lucky opened up a feature a 6* worth taking him to R2 otherwise I probably wouldn't have had the 7500 milestone either - which is utterly ridiculous.

Now, I do wanna say something to the people saying Uncollected should be the line in the sand. I disagree, and only because of the sheer number of people bragging about beating Uncollected with 4/40s or after playing for only 3 months. Or just the large number of people who spent way too much money beating it by the skin of their teeth and now find all subsequent uncollected difficulty too difficult.

All those brag posts are like the community shooting themselves in the foot honestly. Kabam now knows that uncollected cannot be the line in the sand it had originally intended on being, and probably why it's not the cutoff for the 7500 milestone bracket. I don't agree with the 5500 requirement but can see it from their perspective why uncollected isn't a viable marker either (for whatever reason they decided on markers to begin with which I also disagree with)

Cats73

I kinda agree with what you said @roastedbagel ...I'm just kinda salty that I'm uncollected, 100% the last uncollected event(will do it again this month), and can't even see the 5* crystals lol.

My thoughts.

I enjoy the dungeons! It's a nice way to play the game. I like the interaction with a friend. There are a few issues, though.

Bugs:

Teams: It messes up teams in other parts of the game. When I start an arena, it defaults to my last dungeon team. Same thing when I start an event quest. Even if I *finish* an event quest and hit "replay", it starts me off with the three champs I had in the dungeon instead of the team I just beat the boss with.

Chat: Every time I play a dungeon, the chat window goes back to global chat. Please make it save which chat window was open before the dungeon crawl and restore it afterwards.

Suggestions:

Ingame emails: Please stop sending me an email every time I finish a dungeon. I know I finished a dungeon.

The grinding problem: I feel like I'm constantly having to hound my teammates to do dungeons so I can hit the milestones. This isn't bad now, but it will get old by the end of the month, just like it did in the Ragnarok event. Even ignoring that, it's adding up to a lot of time a day to get the milestones. If some version of this becomes a permanent feature, I'd prefer it be something that is limited to three times a day, similar to how the current event makes you pick your difficulty, but limits your entries. Combined with regular play and arena grinding, there's a chance of burnout if there are too incentives to continually play.

Thanks!

so far this event seems like a major hassle. So far I have teamed up with people who only wanted to do a room or 2 and bail which cost me some good champs to now be locked. Had people who wouldn't communicate and just did whatever they wanted. and not to mention the endless conversations of people just trying to find partners to play a dungeon with. This is going to be a long month full of aggravation. And btw I don't know why Kabam has to be so secretive about the PI of the teams in each dungeon and how much point they award. Someone from the community will figure all this out and post it for us all to know eventually so it makes no sense for Kabam to not do it first. Overall I was hyped for this event but after 1 day of playing it I am now thinking it will be just another disappointment

so time consuming, and for what in the end ? 27k dark artifacts seem unreachable unless you play everyday like your life depends on it, and as for the the infinity dust meh, the other way to win it seem easier

You can theoretically get 3 5* crystals throughout the month doing it all. I'll plan on 2 and be happy

How do you figure ?? If I get one I'd be lucky

5* crystal is 27,000
If you have a high enough prestige, maximum number of dark artifacts is 1,950 from daily milestones.
Event runs 42 days

42 * 1,950 = 81,900 dark artifacts
81,900 / 27,000 = 3.03333333333 crystals

If you miss even ONE day of this horribly designed and broken game mode you are already out. Can't handle wasting that much time in this bug-fest of constant swapping between Line and MCOC. It's gonna burn out a LOT of people who were already banking on 3 crystals. I'm already planning ahead to only shoot for 2 since something will happen during these 42 days that will screw you over 1 day and miss the cutoff. 2 Emergency maintenances to fix all the problems introduced in the next maintenance will likely screw over thousands of people and miss 1 day

No, if you miss one day then you get 2 5* crystals and a bunch of other stuff.

Why I'm not getting 6th milestone at 7.5k even I'm at 4200+ prestige ??

jp2835

It's been 3 days since the dungeon started

bloodyCain

Infinity Dungeon is the best new game mode! Eventhough it gets difficult as you progressing forward in the dungeon, it's challenging which something that almost all players are seeking for quite sometimes. Not saying that the current modes aren't interesting but players seems wanna have a mode to play together with their friends.
You don't need to use your best champs everyday to get those rewards. You still can use your top 3* champs when you run out of 4*, 5* and 6* champs to use. Would love to see this type of game mode again in the near future

Read the updated thread about changes an you will get your answers

Huonuo

First the Dungeon mode is a fun mode and a valid effort on trying to make this game a bit more interesting. But just with every new game mode, Kabam always finds way to show how they are out of touch with their player base.
1. Does any of designers actually play dungeon to get all the milestones? The milestones are way time consuming to the extend of unrealistic, you need paying players, but if you keep us playing your game all day long, people can't make money to pay to play your game. For Dungeon 6 3 rooms 3 or 4 times a day, that's at least 2 hours of fully committed time. This is on top of AQ/AW/events which already take us too much time. Please be considerate and conscience about your player base, make it less a burden as it already is.
2. UI designs are lacking of testing and use friendliness. There is no way to exit a dungeon, the chats are very lagging.

Thanks

Crazyjack719

If we make it to 4200+ prestige within the 42 days, would the milestones update accordingly? Currently at 3697 and I have 3 rank up decisions that would push me to 4254.

Will you admit you made a stupid event and cut the milestones in half? people gonna get burnt out trying to do ALL this content. It takes forever and you clearly screwed up the scripting. we already have to coordinate with 10 people for AQ. Please god do better. And fire the ass who said "hey lets make a little 2 man AQ and call it an INFINITY DUNGEON!!"

koening73

When dungeons were announced was quite happy ( yay gonna dupe my SL)
then when they came out , quite disapointed 5* crystal not for everyone, while materials are
being average player , would be hard for me to get all materials , but, was willing to work for it
now dont even bother with dungeons , top rewards made for top players only
uncollected i understand and am ok with it , it depends on me to get it , with all the improved rewards that go with it
but this event i have no choice , top rewards not even available for me
just disapointed

DukeZman

Kabam, Hey big props for addressing the milestone issue! I'm super happy!

SDAATR

@Kabam Miike considering the latest changes in the brackets .... I am at 4.1k prestige at the moment .... What if in the upcoming week i rank up or dupe any champ and my prestige gets over 4.2k .... Will my bracket change?? Or I'll have continue with the 3k milestone bracket??
