**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

Domino Mercs

I didn't say the problem is with Domino. I said the Fight is too extreme for the Rewards. Shouldn't be that challenging for a few Shards. People can say what they want, but my skill is not the topic, and the more people try to take jabs at it, the more the intention of trolling my comments is apparent. I said the effort is not worth the Rewards. It's not easy, and I'm not entertaining the argument.
Because thats most likely the answer. If content is too hard for you but most feel like its doable then the answer is that your skills need to improve to beat the harder content. It's nothing against anyone just a hard truth.
Exactly my frustration. She's been Boss on Expert more times than not, and I don't bother. Problem is, I am missing out because of that, and I barely want to do it now because it ends up being more frustration than Reward.
I'm sorry but I'm calling BS. People argue skill whenever someone has an issue with a challenge. That's not always the answer. Just people reducing what someone is saying.
I will admit I have views that seem contrary, but I don't argue for the sake of it. I just don't always agree. I also explain why I don't agree, and not once have I told someone to "Git Gud". That's just belittling and ignorant.
The Champ itself I have no problems with. There have been a myriad of Posts surrounding how difficult she is in Mercs, and I'm saying in that Quest specifically, she's too amped up. I can fight her. I've done it in EQ. That Quest she's overboard.
There are also Rewards that are scaled for LOL. If it was a bit more than it is, the challenge level would feel on par. I'd do it without feeling much different. She's extreme, more extreme than any other Boss. Even the speed is faster. It's not proportionate to the few Shards offered. There's no logical reason to have her that extreme given the Event and the nature of the Rewards. It's a bit much. No other Boss poses that much of a problem.
It's not the same as saying the Champ is the problem because the Champ is performing uniquely in that Quest.
That's all I'm going to say about the skill argument. I could care less who wants to take shots. Bit hypocritical really.
tbh this could be argued for everyone thofor both sides someone who steam rolled her could've found her simple thus the rewards for it was fine for them but someone who struggled a bit and found her more challenging could feel they shouldve got better rewards for this type of things it's always going to be up the player if they feel the ends justify the means for the
Your opinion is that is was “noticeably more difficult”
My opinion is that it was not “noticeably more difficult”
Why is your opinion right and mine wrong? Saying, “i am not the problem” does not necessarily mean you aren’t the problem.
Some fights I just try and fight normally and I end up one-shotting her, other fights you get the "dropped block glitch" when you fail the parry, and she just roasts me.
I mean, the other day I used GP to take her down to 50%.
It does seem very random how I perform against her, but yeah everytime I see her I feel a bit of fear.
I think you are the problem. I find the rewards great. It's quick and easy, free shards for me. Sorry you are having such difficulty with her...
Personally I think it's as breeze for 150 shards twice a day. If it to much of a challenge or you don't see the value then don't do it. Why should kabam tone her tone just because some people are not ready for the content.
If you struggle with this domino then you obviously have not faced the uncollected one.
But when you come into countless other threads and repeatedly derail them your response to people asking you to stop is that you’re entitled to express your own opinion.
Bit hypocritical really.
Is she tricky: Yes
Is she harder than other bosses: Yes
Is she too “amped up”: not in my opinion. She is harder than others Like kingpin and doc oc but I’ve only ever lost one or two champs to her. Watch videos and pick right champs
Is she worth the rewards: yes i suppose if you’ve got used to her but generally I think the whole mission ain’t worth it for the time anyway.
Peace out
I was trying to be constructive and give advice on how to deal with her, but it seems OP is just set on his mindset and not open to even discuss anything else.
I've had consistent problems with her. She's operating much faster than you can. CF kicks in, you're down. She starts with a Crit, you're down. Can't Evade as fast as she comes at you. Abilities won't proc. Blocks won't catch. It's just a mess.
It's possible if you want to invest in Revs, but I don't spend that much on EQ getting through Bosses, I'm not doing it for 150 Shards, when I could get much more than that from other areas. She's not scale all-round. not in terms of the Rewards, or in comparison to the other Bosses.
The OP asked if people felt she was too extreme for the Rewards offered, in terms of the Event and in comparison to the rest of the difficulty. It's very simple. Do you feel the same way?
The OP didn't ask for a crash course on how to beat her, or to be raked through the coals based on personal feelings towards the OP's other comments in Threads, which are almost always misinterpreted and taken out of context.
There's a difference between disagreeing and telling people they have no skill if they find something not right.
I've never used a revive on her. Always clear her fine. Must be you.
I’m not quite sure why you’re referring to yourself as the OP, but I was just offering advice. I think you need to reconsider how you come across. You are very hostile and rude at the moment. Nobody was questioning your skill, everyone has champs they find difficult, everyone can do with advice on them. It’s alright.
I think you need to read through the comments and reconsider if you think no one was questioning my skill. I wasn't asking for advice on how to beat her. I asked if people felt it was too amped up. I happen to find it too extreme. If you agree or disagree, that's fine.
There's no question that the Thread is turning personal and that's not the result of my perceived rudeness. That's the result of people lifting a leg on my Thread based on personal resentments.
You are indirectly asking for domino to be nerfed. Just admit it. Let me guess, all your champs died to her, and you revived and still failed? She's fast, you take damage from parries, evade blah blah. How about we nerf dormammus degen? I mean, there's no skill involved to even counter it. Whereas, domino can be countered well with a tech champion, vision being the fan favourite. You clearly want domino nerfed, but you won't admit it because then everyone would start pointing a finger at you, because you weren't on the nerf train to get a certain champ nerfed. Git gud, that's all I need to say and btw. This isn't personal, you are making it look personal. I'm just pointing out facts.
So here's my two cents on your issue.
Yes she is tweaked higher than other bosses. She is the only one that gives me difficulty. Her abilities proc about 13x more than my owned version of hers does. (4*). I get that she's a 6* hence more abilities, etc.
No because it's needed to start discussions like this when something is off. (I exclude any posts that are so arrogant and conceited that all they can say is get better, work harder in a "LUCK" based system)
Now, I have beaten her as boss every single time... BUT.. BUT.. sometimes I can blow through her with 1-2 deaths, other times, I'm on my last champ poking her with chopsticks in the butt so she'll die. The problems sadly isn't with her difficulty, it's the way her abilities are. Critical failure can proc on ANYTHING you miss.
Yes it will proc on a missed parry, evade, dexterity, bleed, YES even bleed IMMUNE. (Doesn't trigger bleed but it will cause a critical failure). The only real problem with this characters abilities is, she only has two option in this game, Godly, or Trashcan. There is no in between. Critical Failure penalizes you for doing a good job of skill yet the system somehow decides that you failed, yet you didn't, but we're going to hurt you anyway.
Fighting her is like getting a good drop rate out of any crystal.
Lastly, for 1/100th of a 5* as a reward, no, flat out she's not worth the hassle.
