**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.

Question about Oct. 18 event quest

So the symbiote can be ranked to 5 and on the 18th a special event quest opens specifically for players to use the symbiote in? It seems pretty obvious that the symbiote isn't going to get to rank 5 unless a player finishes Master and/or epic and that if he doesn't make it to 5 he will not be of much benifit. So? What incentive do lower tier players have to even worry with raising him at all? With paths that eat up the bulk of 70 energy quills (which they don't have to begin with) at a difficulty level they are not equiped to win without dumping supplies and units into it until it hurts, where is the fun? What is the point? Why are we seeing the top getting gifted with more opportunities to collect neccessary items and the lower level is being dragged along to insult and injury?

I think it's an extra difficulty where the symbiote will help. Its harder than Epic. Epic difficulty was nowhere near what it was last EQ either. Plus finish all 5 and get some awesome extra awards.
Yeah rewards have been published and look pretty awesome apart from lack of 6* shards
The symbiote is not "for the symbiote difficulty." The symbiote is to assist players in whatever difficulty they struggle to complete. If you are a player who cannot complete master, gathering katalysts from other difficulties can get your symbiote to a place where he can help for master. If you cannot do epic, he can help in epic.
I really don't care that they opened up harder difficulties to everyone, but this is what some people are complaining about. If you are a "lower tier player" as you put it, you should not think you are capable of running through the higher difficulties. It's not aimed at lower tier players. And they aren't insulting you by opening up the higher tier difficulties to you (they are actually allowing you the chance to get rewards that previously weren't available to you). The symbiote really does make everything quite simple if you put in a little effort to read how his enhancements work.
You get the symbioid. You complete the quests. You get the catalysts needed to rank up the symbioid. You take him to the next difficulty. You get more catalysts, and rank him up even further.
All that and you can go in to the symbiote difficulty with him and others.
Anyone can do it, not only top players. Don't spread false information
The point isnt to give newbies access to epic.
The point is to give players access to one difficulty higher than what they normally do.
Normally uncollected? You can complete all of epic and have all the katalysts needed for the new difficulty.
Normally only complete heroic? You can complete all of heroic and have all the katalysts needed for a reasonably strengthened symbiote to complete master.
Now, the option there is to push further once you do the further difficulty. But then the timing issue comes in that you mention.
No but if you give a scrub a r5 sl or blade he will still die to red hulk an others an not be able to finish 1 path . Even worth a r5 symbiote an the boosts you'll still need to have a certain level of skill to finish it. They've said it's very hard content.
You should stop spreading false info until you see the quest
Wrong.
Nowhere did I say it would be easy. As long as it's possible to do a fight, anyone can do it. Of course skill is involved here, but that's obvious.
The example I gave was one of a "impossible" fight, where you would only be able to hit the enemy once or twice before losing.
Wrong.
"Of course they can" gives the impression even the worst player can finish it. No where do you mention skill is a given.
i used my r5 symbiote with some enchancement on certain opponent or local nodes in Epic difficulty. For intermediate players in level60 with a few r4 5* wouldnt hurt too much. I know what youre trying to say here but use that symbiote with enchancement to help you out. He does the work easily for me compared to the previous EQ in Uncollected difficulty.
just to clarify, you're saying they should make the game harder for end game players, while giving the same reward to progressing players?
Yes it sounds like hes saying just that
You can think of it as like Lab of legends, content that you aren’t ready to take on yet but others are. Does LOL upset you?
The point of this newer “harder” difficulty is to provide more content for people that either finish all difficulties and have nothing else to do for the last two weeks of the month OR a player that struggles to complete content but has a tool “summoner symbiote “ that he can rank up for 1 gold each level and use boosts to do all difficulties of this months EQ.
What you could be justified in saying is you want more mid tier difficulty added in at the same time as this harder tier. Don’t worry about the stuff that’s too hard. It’s all bonus content.
Remember it’s basically free to rank him up and if you can’t do the content to get the rewards needed to R5 him don’t worry, you weren’t meant to.
Thanks.
I don't think you understand what a progressional game is.
