**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Why I'm Still "Collected"

Thanks. I figured I wasn't the only one who got to the same point.
Thanks!
You consistently conflate the right to express an opinion with the right to demand credibility. Everyone has a right to express their opinion on the difficulty of the content. They can do that even if they haven't even faced it yet. However, I and everyone else has the right to challenge the validity of that opinion if it appears to be unfounded. If someone says the uncollected map is too difficult on the very first day, I challenge that position regularly now because it is completely ludicrous to make that claim before they've had any opportunity to test the content carefully, discuss the content with other players, and analyse the content for optimal strategies. That doesn't mean they have no right to express that opinion, it simply means as a participant of the forums they must accept that their opinion will get challenged by other posters if it appears weakly supported.
You have the right to express any opinion whatsoever about the difficulty of the content. But if you haven't actually progressed to the point where you're facing that content with rosters consistent with the difficulty of that content or better, or been in a position to compare that difficulty to higher level content, then everyone else has the right to dismiss that opinion as unfounded if they so choose. You cannot reserve for yourself the right to express an opinion and deny everyone else the right to express the opinion that an expressed position is one they find baseless.
When top players judge difficulty, they often do so completely incorrectly. For example, all the players who claimed that the original Sentinels added to AQ were literally, not just figuratively, not really more difficult than the symbioids they replaced, were objectively wrong. The data showed that those people were not just wrong, they were spectacularly wrong in a way that demonstrated they had literally no idea what "objective difficulty" even is: everything is just easy for them, or not easy for them. That can happen when you don't have experience judging difficulty across a wide range of people: they lack the knowledge to extrapolate their experience to a wider player population. You need to realize that lack of experience with higher content creates the same blindness problem, just in reverse.
The one thing that can guarantee that people will not take you seriously, is demanding that they take you seriously. If you have to ask, the answer will always be no. Knowledge and experience are the only currency that can buy credibility, and the price is usually pretty high.
That was just one of many recent examples, but all clarify more since your response is not accurate.
OP, in that post didn’t ask for any opinions, but was commenting that it was tough and got through it. Also, in OPs original post, they show a big picture of a 48k Emma Frost (from uncollected - which has a much more difficult node and buffs than the 30k one in the uncanny event). In UC, she can literally kill a 5* R4 by a single combo into a block, and the fight is immediately over. That is significantly more challenging than uncanny, especially when using the same level of champs in both versions. So yeah, the comment was about UC and the other responses, including the mod, were related to UC difficulty.
That really wasn’t the jest of the post though, just an example reference to validate my following comment afterwards.
I tried to legitimately offer some reasoning as to why your comments don’t sit well with a bunch of people, but from what I’m reading, you apparently don’t care and believe you can offer an opinion on something you’ve not participated in or experienced first hand. Well, if that’s the case, just expect to be questioned and disregarded more. No one wants an opinion from someone who has no idea what they’re talking about. You think you do, but it’s not the same at all.
I fully agree that difficulty is not related to a specific label. Someone with 3* only could struggle with master EQ, but could have the skill to beat it anyway. There are kevl of difficulties though and they do ramp up. Regardless of the content or skill, if you’ve not attempted, nor are able to even do so because you haven’t achieved the requirements to unlock it, how can you know what others at the higher UC event are experiencing?
For one second, take a breather to personally reflect on this, just a little bit?
I don't need a lesson in my participation, and I am not going to stop participating in discussions because of where I'm at in the game. Thanks for the feedback, but we will be returning to the topic.
I chimed in with my thoughts on your uncollected status already. Stop making excuses and do it or don’t. I’ve had 2 team mates beat it within the last month, bugs and all. They chose to get it down, prepped the resources and spent the energy there instead of other things. Don’t blame anyone but yourself for not being collected after all this time in the game. Less forum, more event quest would be my advice but I’m sure you’ll come up with something better.
I coach 7th grade football. Does that mean I should be able to tell Bill Belichik how to run the Patriots?
I'm deliberately chopping the quote right there. And just letting it speak for itself without further elaboration.
You're able to do so. He's just not going to pay attention.
Not really a worry. I have enough Champs to run everything. I just have to do some Grinding and saving. All that it takes now is some time.
I don't consider it a crutch. I've played through it every month. It's a factor. When your controls aren't even registering, that's an inhibitor to playing properly. Lag isn't the reason, really. Doing EQ and spending hundreds of Units each month and not saving them is. Lol. My own fault, really.
i love the way you just ignore my reply here.
you attack me and my opinion and then go silent when i call you out and respond.
nothing to say??
no apology for attacking me for no reason??
nothing....
Who was attacking you? I don't agree with your ideas on having to do UC in order to register a view on her. I said the ideal is ignorant. Not you. I have nothing against you personally. If you took it personally, I apologize.
Having said that, that is not what the conversation is about. It's not about whether I should register a view on Champs or not. It's about doing Uncollected.
that is clearly an attack. if not an attack on me personally certainly at my statement and others who share it.
thats my point. you are saying things without actually understanding how they come across to others
That's not an attack at all. It's a general statement about what goes on here, and a comment about the ideal that only people at a certain level have the right to form an opinion.
you are just proving my point that you do not truly understand how what you say comes across to others.
the game steps up next level once u r collected.
it is true you dont know wat ur missing until you have it....
simply put the better daily and free crystals....
i mean the extra t4cc frags you get adds up easily....
the rewards from uncollected difficulty eq are awesom.. i mean 6* shards... where else u get them??? only late in act 5...its the only regular source....
yes monthly EQ is hard... but fighting the content at such a hard level really steps up and improves your gameplay astronomically.
even if your skill level is not good enough to be uncollected you are best off to boost to the waazoo and push through it cus afterwards completing monthy EQ will help your skill grow sooo quick.....
It is interesting to me that the two best sources for 6* shards are theoretically available to solo players. Uncollected difficulty is one. The other one is duping 5* champs, and the best source for 5* shards is grinding arena. You have to have played a lot of online games to high levels to know how out of the ordinary that is.
Unless you're in a platinum alliance, uncollected difficulty is also the best source of T5B. A completely solo uncollected player today that can fully explore uncollected difficulty is probably in a better position than a top tier alliance player was in the pre-glory / pre-5* featured arena days of the game.
the best sources unless you are in an extremely high top tier ally... and then you have war....
which is why top tier ally players always go soooo far infront and keep going.....
war rewards is alot of 6* shards for the few that can get them....
just look at how quick newer / weaker players can progress compared to even 1 year ago.
Seriously UNcollected is the single best thing in your control that can be done for your rate of progression.
